From $100 per vehicle: a private ride from Port of Miami to Springhill Suites Miami Arts / Health District.
Each rate below covers the whole vehicle for one private, one-way trip between the Port of Miami cruise terminals and Springhill Suites Miami Arts / Health District. The number you see when you book is the number you pay — demand, traffic, tolls, and fuel never push it higher, and it holds for the entire group rather than each seat.
Cruise mornings move in waves — a whole ship walks off within the same hour, and the terminal curb fills quickly. Your pickup is timed to the ship’s real arrival rather than a guess, so the driver is already in place as you clear customs and gather your bags. Step out of the terminal, spot your name on a sign if you asked for one, and the vehicle is waiting; a name-sign meet at the door is a small $20 add-on when you want the driver holding a placard. Bags load straight in, and the short run to Springhill Suites Miami Arts / Health District begins.
Springhill Suites Miami Arts / Health District sits on the arts-leaning side of the city, minutes from the murals of Wynwood and the storefronts of the Miami Design District. Guests who linger after a sailing have Wynwood Walls, independent galleries, and Midtown Miami’s food halls within easy reach, with NW 2nd Avenue tying the gallery blocks together. The drop is door to door — the driver pulls up to the entrance and sets your luggage on the curb beside you. Anything about the room or the stay itself is the hotel’s part, while the door-to-door transfer is what this booking covers.
The trip is short: roughly 2.5 miles from the terminal to the hotel, usually 12 to 14 minutes along Port Boulevard before the streets of the Arts and Health District. There are no shared legs and no detours to collect other passengers — the vehicle leaves the port and heads straight to Springhill Suites Miami Arts / Health District. On busy Saturday and Sunday mornings, when several ships empty at once, the plan already accounts for the slower crawl off Port Boulevard, so the estimate holds even when the causeway is thick with cars.
Reserving a private, one-way transfer takes a 50% deposit to hold the vehicle for your date; the remaining half goes to the driver once the trip is done. Send the deposit by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link over WhatsApp, and settle the balance the same way or in cash at the curb. Every fare is charged per vehicle for the whole group, never per person, and nothing beyond the agreed amount is collected. Each reservation is valid for the single date you choose.
Pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no surcharge. Outside that window an SUV adds a flat $20 night fee for trips staying inside Miami-Dade and Broward, which covers this short hop into the Arts and Health District. A child seat is $15 on the Port of Miami route, added whenever you request one at booking. If the day calls for an extra stop, that runs $45 for each additional 30 minutes. Tolls and fuel are already inside the fare, so none of them return on the day of travel.
A meet-and-greet at the terminal comes with every reservation: a bilingual driver, easy with the port’s rhythm, greets your group and handles the bags at both ends. The vehicle is exclusively yours for the run, so no strangers share the seats and no unplanned stops appear. Tolls and gas sit inside the flat rate, and the price is fixed the moment you book — which matters most on the disembarkation mornings when on-demand apps swing highest. A reserved car to Springhill Suites Miami Arts / Health District is locked before any of that, and it does not move.
Plan on 12 to 14 minutes terminal to door for the 2.5-mile route, give or take the hour and the traffic. Weekend cruise mornings run slower off Port Boulevard, and the pickup time already builds that in. Most parties are at the hotel within a quarter of an hour of leaving the curb.
Yes. The return leg to the port is priced at the same flat, one-way rate, and booking both directions together lets one driver plan each pickup around your sailing schedule. Reserve the return when you book the arrival and the car is confirmed for both days.
The SUV holds roughly a checked bag plus a carry-on for each of its five passengers, and the vans carry proportionally more. If you are traveling with oversized items or extra gear, mention it on WhatsApp and the right vehicle is confirmed before your date.
The pickup re-times at no extra charge. Ships rarely clear every passenger at the same minute, so the driver tracks your actual arrival and waits through customs and the luggage hall. You keep the same vehicle and the same rate, with nothing to re-book at the curb.
Send your ship, terminal, date, group size, and any child-seat or name-sign requests, and your private transfer to Springhill Suites Miami Arts / Health District is confirmed with the pickup staged around your arrival. A text usually reaches faster than a call, since the driver is often mid-trip with other guests.

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.
We reserved one van for the whole group from the terminal to Springhill Suites Miami Arts / Health District so the whole group stayed together.
