From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to La Fuente Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the terminal greeting included in the fare and a $20 name-sign option if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
La Fuente Hotel sits in Hialeah, the busy band of ground north of Miami International Airport where working industry, dense residential blocks, and a few long-standing landmarks all share the same few square miles. It puts you away from the cruise-port crowds while keeping the expressways that thread this side of the county within easy reach, so getting to the water or back out to the county is a short hop rather than a project.
The surrounding stretch of Hialeah gives arriving guests plenty to fill a day once the bags are down. Hialeah Park Racing & Casino, the century-old track and gaming floor that anchors this part of town, is close by, and so are the green spaces of Amelia Earhart Park and Milander Park. The Palmetto Expressway runs nearby as well, which keeps the wider metro area open to you without a long slog through surface traffic.
What you find on arrival is a straightforward base in a neighborhood that mixes everyday city life with those older landmarks, rather than a resort strip. Anything about the rooms, rates, or the stay itself belongs to the hotel’s own official page; our part is the ground transportation, delivered to the entrance with your group and your luggage together. Roll off the ship, ride straight here, and step out at the door with the day still ahead of you and the details of the trip already settled at booking.
The trip is door to door and built around your ship. After you disembark and clear the terminal exit, your chauffeur is already staged at the curb, so the morning crush at the port is the driver’s wait, not yours. Bags go straight into the vehicle with the group, and the car pulls away for La Fuente Hotel without a detour to a parking lot or a shared pickup point.
From the terminal, the driver follows the Airport Expressway and the SR-112 Toll for the run north into Hialeah, a stretch that usually takes about twenty-one to twenty-nine minutes depending on how the traffic is moving. Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat fare, so nothing is added along the way. You are dropped at the entrance and the bags are set down beside you at the door.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. A child seat is $15 on request, and any added stop is $45 per 30 minutes.
The black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
Reserving a few days ahead is ideal, and in peak season (holidays, spring break, big cruise weekends) a week or more keeps your first-choice vehicle available. Requests inside 24 hours are welcome but depend on availability, and those bookings are non-refundable once confirmed.
We run on reservations rather than on-demand pickups. A same-day request may still work if a driver is free: message us on WhatsApp with the pickup time and we will confirm quickly. Keep in mind that a ride booked within 24 hours of pickup cannot be refunded.
No. A 50% deposit holds the vehicle when you book online, and the other half goes to your driver on the day of the ride, in cash or by card. If you prefer to settle everything at once, choose Pay in full at checkout.
Yes. After the deposit, the remaining half is paid directly to your driver when the ride is done, cash or card, whichever you prefer. There is nothing else to pay unless you added an extra service.
Cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the pickup. Inside that 24-hour window the ride is non-refundable, and no-shows are treated the same way. Booking details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can still be updated until 12 hours before pickup.
The pickup time and other details can be adjusted until 12 hours before the ride, subject to driver availability; write to us as soon as your plans change. The travel date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Payments run through Stripe over an encrypted checkout; we never see your card number. Card payments carry a 3% processing fee that is shown before you pay. Zelle is also accepted for the deposit with no fee: ask us on WhatsApp.
Not at all. Travelers reserve from all over the world, international cards are accepted at checkout, and we answer on WhatsApp and email in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Yes. Give us the flight number when you book and your driver tracks it in real time, so the pickup follows the actual landing rather than the scheduled one, at no extra cost.
Message us the moment you know. We reschedule around the new arrival whenever a driver is available; because that counts as a change to the booking, the cancellation terms above still apply if the ride cannot be rebooked.
Your driver meets you at the MIA arrivals level at the curb, and that meet-and-greet is included in the fare. If you would rather be greeted inside the terminal with a name sign, add the name-sign welcome for $20 when you book.
You receive the meeting instructions in advance, and the driver contacts you the day before the ride to confirm every detail. On landing, head to the agreed curb; connect to the airport Wi-Fi and message us on WhatsApp if anything is unclear.
The day before the ride we send the driver’s name and phone number, and the vehicle details you need to spot the car. Vehicle photos on the site show the category booked; the exact model can vary.
Call or WhatsApp us at +1 (786) 682-8748 and we connect you right away. The pickup is always coordinated at the confirmed spot, and the courtesy waiting time keeps running from your landing or your scheduled pickup.
At the airport we wait up to 60 minutes after landing on domestic flights and up to 2 hours on international arrivals; at hotels, homes and the cruise port the courtesy wait is 15 minutes. Beyond that, waiting is billed like an extra stop, $45 per 30 minutes.
The distance and the usual driving time for this exact route are listed on this page. Real timing depends on traffic and the hour, which is why the driver plans the pickup around your actual landing or ship arrival rather than a fixed clock time.
Yes. Your driver loads and unloads every bag at the curb. Drivers do not go inside the hotel or terminal to collect luggage, so have it with you at the meeting point.
Each passenger can bring one large suitcase plus one carry-on. The black SUV carries up to 5 passengers as long as passengers plus large suitcases total 10 or fewer; larger groups or extra bags move to a van. Surfboards, bikes or many extra cases need a custom setup, so tell us before booking.
Yes. Add them when you book: a child seat for babies and toddlers up to about 3 years, or a booster for ages 3 to 5. Each seat is $20 and is fitted before the driver leaves for the pickup.
Planned stops are fine when you add them at booking, priced at $45 per 30 minutes with a 30-minute minimum, then $1.50 per extra minute. Unplanned detours on the day are not part of the fare.
Never. Every transfer is private: the vehicle carries only your group, door to door, with no other pickups and no waiting for strangers.
A black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a van for 6 to 9 and a larger van for 10 to 14. The fare table on this page shows the price for each. For groups above 14 we arrange several vehicles or a minibus on a custom quote.
No. We pick up and drop off at Miami International Airport, PortMiami and the other cruise terminals, hotels, private homes, offices and event venues across South Florida and beyond.
Yes. Wedding parties, corporate groups and private events get a tailored quote with the right mix of vehicles; message us with the date, head count and schedule.
Between 9 PM and 7 AM the black SUV adds a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 farther out. The fee is shown in the quote before you book, and daytime rides carry no surcharge.
The fare shown is for the exact route named on this page. For a different pickup or drop-off address, use the ride search on this site: it prices the real road distance instantly and lets you book on the spot.
The fare includes the driver, fuel and tolls, with no hidden fees. Only optional items add to it: the 3% card fee, a name-sign welcome, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
We came off the ship ready for a real bed and a driver already waiting to take us to La Fuente Hotel was the right call. For a reliable way to get from the ship to La Fuente Hotel, it was money well spent. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — exactly right for the morning.
Couldn’t have been simpler — met at the curb, luggage handled, and an easy ride over to La Fuente Hotel.
El grupo entero bajamos juntos y fue un alivio tener una van privada esperando en la terminal para el viaje a La Fuente Hotel — sin dividirnos. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto.
Con los niños, reservar un auto privado de la terminal a La Fuente Hotel significó cero estrés la mañana del desembarque. El conductor cargó todas nuestras maletas del crucero para que no tuviéramos que batallar con todo.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to La Fuente Hotel made the morning easy. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
