From $120 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Residence Inn Miami Aventura Mall in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The terminal greeting is covered by the fare and a name sign is offered for $20. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Residence Inn Miami Aventura Mall stands at 19900 West Country Club Drive in Aventura, 33180, tucked into a corner of Miami-Dade where high-rise towers line the Intracoastal Waterway. It is an extended-stay address built for travelers who want a base rather than an overnight stop, set among the marinas and residential streets that give this pocket of Aventura its own quiet rhythm apart from downtown Miami.
What makes the location work is everything within easy reach. Aventura Mall, one of the largest shopping centers in the region, sits close by, and Gulfstream Park draws visitors with its racing and open-air promenade. Founders Park is nearby for a walk or an afternoon outdoors, and Biscayne Boulevard runs through the area as the main artery connecting Aventura to the wider city. The Intracoastal threads between the towers here, so water is rarely far from view.
For a cruise traveler, the appeal is simple. After days at sea you arrive at a property that puts shopping, green space, and the waterfront all in the same neighborhood, with the room and the amenities of the hotel itself handled once you check in. Your ride ends at the entrance, bags and all, and the rest of the stay is yours. Anything about the accommodations belongs with the hotel directly; getting your group cleanly from the ship to this door in Aventura is the part we own, and the address above is exactly where the drive concludes.
The trip is one straight run of about 18 miles, following I-95 north from the cruise terminal up toward Aventura. Plan on roughly 38 to 54 minutes from the terminal to the door, depending on the hour and how heavy traffic runs that day. There are no side stops and no shared seats; the vehicle is yours alone from the pier to 19900 West Country Club Drive.
Your chauffeur is staged for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit, so the car is ready rather than something you chase down after disembarking. Luggage goes straight into the vehicle with a hand at both ends of the ride, and the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with thirty minutes of courtesy wait built in. From there it is a single, direct drive that ends at the entrance of Residence Inn Miami Aventura Mall.
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.
A 50% deposit reserves the ride online; the balance is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
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.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
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.
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.
I didn’t want to gamble on a ride the morning I got off the ship, so I booked a private car from the terminal to Residence Inn Miami Aventura Mall. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt looked after from the terminal all the way to the door of Residence Inn Miami Aventura Mall.
My wife and I had a great sailing and followed it with a private car waiting right at the terminal to take us to Residence Inn Miami Aventura Mall — no fuss at the port. The fare was fixed when we booked, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning.
A few friends and I came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the cruise terminal to Residence Inn Miami Aventura Mall. We had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — exactly right for the morning. Highly recommend.
We got off the ship with the kids and a mountain of luggage, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Residence Inn Miami Aventura Mall a breeze. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to juggle it all. The kids were done after a week at sea, and getting straight to Residence Inn Miami Aventura Mall without a scramble at the port was exactly what we needed.
Private, on time, and we didn’t have to worry about anything between the ship and Residence Inn Miami Aventura Mall. There was a sign with our name at the exit, so we knew right where to go.
