From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Spark by Hilton Miami Doral 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.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside meet-and-greet costs nothing extra; the inside name-sign welcome adds $20.
Spark by Hilton Miami Doral sits in Doral, the golf-and-business city that spreads west of the Miami airport. This is a part of town built around championship golf courses and mile after mile of corporate campuses, and the hotel gives you a comfortable base right in the middle of it. After a cruise, it makes an easy landing spot, set in a calmer, greener pocket of the city than the port itself.
Once you have settled in, plenty sits within reach. CityPlace Doral and Downtown Doral give you shopping, dining, and places to walk after days at sea, while Doral Central Park offers open green space when you want to stretch your legs. The Palmetto Expressway runs nearby, which keeps the rest of Miami-Dade an easy drive away when you feel like exploring beyond Doral itself.
The hotel side of your stay, the amenities, the luggage holds, and the question of early check-in, is handled directly through Spark by Hilton Miami Doral’s own official page, so you can confirm the details that matter to your dates. Our part is getting you there cleanly: one direct ride from your ship’s terminal to the hotel door, with your bags loaded for you and a chauffeur who knows the Doral streets. Arriving after a long sailing, most guests just want the ride sorted in advance, so the first thing they do ashore is climb into a waiting vehicle rather than sort out logistics at the curb.
The ride begins the moment you clear the terminal. Your chauffeur is staged at the port, timed to your ship’s disembarkation, so there is no waiting around once your bags reach the curb. Everything goes into the vehicle for you, and the route heads out on SR-836 as a single direct leg toward Doral, roughly 14.8 miles that runs about 30 to 41 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic.
Because the vehicle is yours alone, there are no other stops between the port and the hotel. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, with thousands of passengers leaving the ships at once, so the pickup is planned around your actual walk-off time and the SR-836 traffic is already figured into the plan. You step off, find your ride, and go straight to Spark by Hilton Miami Doral.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $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.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup 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.
Nós dois combinamos um traslado privativo para depois do cruzeiro e assim não nos preocupar com horário a caminho de Spark by Hilton Miami Doral. A última coisa que se quer depois de uma semana no mar é uma viagem que não acontece, e esta foi bem na hora que precisamos. O motorista se encarregou de cada bolsa para não precisarmos fazer força. Recomendo muito.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Spark by Hilton Miami Doral was the best part of the day. The night before, we got a message 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 arranged a private van to meet us at the cruise terminal and take everyone over to Spark by Hilton Miami Doral. We were dropped straight at the door of Spark by Hilton Miami Doral, not on a corner with the bags.
De crucero con los niños, no queríamos caos el día del desembarque, así que una van privada esperando en la terminal Spark by Hilton Miami Doral valió cada minuto. Los niños durmieron todo el camino, y llegar directo a Spark by Hilton Miami Doral sin correr en el puerto fue un alivio. Llegar a Spark by Hilton Miami Doral a primera hora significó que pudimos dejar las maletas y arrancar el día.
The perfect end to the cruise — private, on time, and easy. Getting to Spark by Hilton Miami Doral straight from the terminal meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
