From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to President Hotel Villa Miami Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, a name-sign pickup adds $20, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
President Hotel Villa Miami Beach sits in South Beach, about 5.9 miles by road from the cruise terminals at Port of Miami. For travelers stepping off a ship, that puts the door within a short causeway hop of the water — close enough that the ride from terminal to lobby runs 18 to 20 minutes, depending on the hour. It is a South Beach base built for people who want the sand and the walkable heart of the neighborhood in the same breath.
What you find on arrival is the rhythm of the neighborhood right outside. Ocean Drive and the Art Deco Historic District are within easy reach of the stay, so the pastel facades and the people-watching that define this stretch are a stroll away rather than a drive. Lummus Park Beach is close by when you want ocean and open air, and Española Way — the pedestrian lane of cafes and courtyards — sits nearby as well. Lincoln Road, the open-air shopping promenade, is another short hop across the neighborhood.
For cruisers, this is a common place to land, either the night before sailing or as a first stop after disembarking. The location keeps things simple: one direct run from the pier, bags loaded once, and you step out at the hotel entrance instead of dragging luggage across the port. If your plans also touch MIA or FLL, the same vehicles and the same flat pricing cover the airport leg when you ask, so the hotel can anchor one coordinated plan for the day rather than a string of separate arrangements.
The ride is door-to-door and planned around your ship. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal once your group clears the exit, so there is no line to join and no waiting for a pooled pickup. Bags go straight into the vehicle at the curb, and from there it is one run to President Hotel Villa Miami Beach along SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway — about 5.9 miles, roughly 18 to 20 minutes depending on traffic and the hour.
Because the vehicle is yours alone, the car goes where you are going and nowhere else. Thirty minutes of courtesy wait is built in at the port, giving your group room to clear the terminal without the clock cutting it close. When you leave for the ship on embarkation day, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and handles the luggage at both ends. One group, one vehicle, one direct trip to the door.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
A child seat can be installed for $15 when you book. Night service, meaning 9 PM to 7 AM, adds $20 to the SUV inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. Extra stops are metered at $45 per 30 minutes.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
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.
Our whole crew walked off together and it was so easy to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to President Hotel Villa Miami Beach — nobody splitting up. We went from the ship to the front desk of President Hotel Villa Miami Beach with no stress at all.
The kids were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to President Hotel Villa Miami Beach before anyone lost it. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
Traveling with the whole family, we booked a private van to be waiting at the curb and take everyone over to President Hotel Villa Miami Beach. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs.
We weren’t about to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to President Hotel Villa Miami Beach. No lot to comb through — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to President Hotel Villa Miami Beach took all the stress out of it. No app to fight with — we just stepped out and the car was ready. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs.
