From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Luxury Suite in Coral Gables by LYX Miami Suites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
The Luxury Suite in Coral Gables by LYX Miami Suites is a private place to settle after your cruise, set inside one of the most graceful corners of the Miami area. Instead of a busy lobby, you arrive to your own space in Coral Gables, ready for the group traveling together off the ship.
The setting is the draw. Coral Gables is defined by its boulevards lined with banyan trees and its Spanish-style architecture, a neighborhood that feels planned and calm rather than rushed. At its heart sits Miracle Mile, a walkable stretch of restaurants, and the historic Biltmore Hotel, a landmark that has anchored the district for generations. Stepping out of the suite puts you a short move from all of it, so an afternoon can turn into dinner on the Mile without a long drive.
There is more within easy reach once you have dropped your bags. The Venetian Pool, a spring-fed swimming spot carved into old coral rock, sits nearby, and the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden offers open green space and tropical plantings for a slower morning. Whether you are in town for a few nights before flying home or using the suite as a base to explore, Coral Gables keeps the pace unhurried. It is the kind of stay where you unpack, catch your breath after the water, and let the neighborhood set the tone for the rest of the trip.
The trip runs door to door as a single private leg. Your chauffeur is staged at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, coordinated by message as your group clears the hall, so the wait belongs to the driver and not to you. Bags are loaded at the terminal curb, everyone rides together, and the vehicle takes US-1 straight toward Coral Gables.
From the Port of Miami to the Luxury Suite in Coral Gables by LYX Miami Suites is roughly 7.7 miles, and the drive typically takes about 23 to 27 minutes depending on traffic. Disembarkation mornings back up fast at the terminal exits, but because your driver is in place before you walk off, you step from the hall to a waiting vehicle and go. Luggage is handled at both ends, so all you carry into the suite is yourselves.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. A child seat is fitted on request for $15. Extra stops along the way are $45 per 30 minutes.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
Que bom que reservamos com antecedência — uma passagem fácil e tranquila, zero estresse no terminal, direto na porta. Fomos do navio à recepção de Luxury Suite in Coral Gables by LYX Miami Suites sem uma só complicação.
Bajando por la pasarela solo, lo último que quería era resolver el traslado en el puerto, así que tenía un auto privado coordinado para ir a Luxury Suite in Coral Gables by LYX Miami Suites. Sin pelear con una app — caminé de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — el puerto quedó totalmente resuelto.
Viajando con los niños, reservamos una van privada para que nos esperara en la terminal de cruceros y llevara a todos hasta Luxury Suite in Coral Gables by LYX Miami Suites. El conductor se encargó de cada bolso para que no tuviéramos que batallar con todo. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — del barco a la puerta del hotel sin estrés. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car meet us at the terminal for the ride over to Luxury Suite in Coral Gables by LYX Miami Suites made the morning easy. The fare was set up front, the same number we were quoted.
My wife and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to Luxury Suite in Coral Gables by LYX Miami Suites before we even sailed. Booking was quick, we got clear pickup details, and everything went exactly as planned. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
