From $100 per vehicle, a private one-way ride between Port of Miami and Leamington Hotel in Downtown Miami.
Each figure below is the price for the whole vehicle, one way, whether you are stepping off a ship or heading back to catch one. The rate is fixed the moment you book, and neither traffic nor a busy sailing day moves it.
Your cruise ties up at one of the terminals on Dodge Island, and the driver stages at the one matching your line. Share the ship’s name when you reserve and the pickup point is set before you even walk down the gangway. As you clear the customs hall and wheel your bags to the curb, a short message points you to the waiting car. Being met there is part of the fare; if you would rather look for a printed name sign in the crowd, ask for one and it adds $20.
It is a short hop from the pier to Leamington Hotel — roughly 1.2 miles up Port Boulevard and across into the downtown grid. The hotel address is 307 NE 1st St, so the black car rolls off the causeway and reaches the door within minutes. Because the ride is private, it goes only where you are going: no shared seats, no detour to another terminal, just your party and your luggage in a single vehicle. There is no taxi queue to join and no sidewalk scramble with your bags, since the car is already tied to your reservation.
Plan on eight to ten minutes from the pier to Leamington Hotel, give or take a little for the hour. Weekend mornings are the heaviest stretch, when several ships empty at once and Port Boulevard fills with departing traffic. The driver times the pickup to your real walk-off instead of a guessed slot, so the short distance stays short. Even on the busiest turnaround Saturday, the leg from the terminals to the hotel is measured in minutes rather than hours.
Leamington Hotel stands on NE 1st Street, a couple of blocks back from Biscayne Bay in central Downtown Miami. Step outside and Bayside Marketplace and Bayfront Park sit an easy walk toward the water, with the Kaseya Center, Museum Park and the Perez Art Museum Miami all close at hand. The cruise port is right across the causeway, which is exactly why the transfer runs so brief. If a night in the city bookends your sailing, the shops, the waterfront and the arena all stay within reach on foot, and an early flight the next morning is a simple drive from a stay this central.
Reserving is simple: a 50% deposit holds your date and vehicle, and the remaining half goes to the driver on the day of the ride, by cash or a card link. Pricing is one-way and billed per vehicle for the entire group rather than per head, so a van costs the same whether one seat or every seat is taken. Fuel and the usual tolls along the route already sit inside the fare. A child seat is $15 when you need one, and any added stop runs $45 for each half hour. One address per booking keeps the run direct to Leamington Hotel.
Standard daytime service runs from 7 AM to 9 PM. A pickup that falls outside that window adds a flat $20 for the SUV anywhere inside Miami-Dade and Broward, which covers a downtown address like this one; only a trip beyond those counties would carry the higher $50 figure. Larger vans add 10% for the same late window instead of the flat fee.
The driver stages at the terminal assigned to your cruise line on Dodge Island, so pass along the ship’s name when you book. As you leave the customs hall, a message confirms the exact curb to head for. You walk straight from baggage claim to the car with no hunting around.
If your ship arrives behind schedule, the pickup shifts to the actual arrival at no extra charge. The driver follows the port’s posted timing, and your rate and vehicle stay exactly the same. There is nothing to rebook and no new ride to chase at the curb.
The SUV takes up to five travelers with a checked bag and a carry-on each, and the vans scale up from there. If you are bringing oversized items, mention it when you reserve and the right vehicle is set aside. Everything rides with your group in the one car.
Yes — a child seat is available for $15, fitted before pickup when you ask ahead. Note it in your booking message along with the child’s age. The driver installs it so it is ready and waiting at the curb.
Send your sailing date, ship, group size and pickup time over WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748, or call 786-682-8748, and the vehicle is confirmed for your arrival at the hotel. A message is usually the fastest way to lock in the details.
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.
Mi esposa y yo no estábamos para líos afuera de la terminal, así que reservamos un viaje privado a Leamington Hotel antes de zarpar. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — el puerto quedó totalmente resuelto. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue justo cuando lo necesitamos.
Traveling with our little ones, we arranged a private van to be waiting at the curb and take everyone over to Leamington Hotel.

No íbamos a batallar con los pequeños y el equipaje buscando transporte en el puerto, así que coordinamos una van privada a Leamington Hotel. El auto estaba fresco y cómodo, con lugar para todo. Sin pelear con una app — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. Muy recomendable.
No íbamos a hacer malabares con niños y maletas buscando transporte en el puerto, así que coordinamos una van privada a Leamington Hotel.
