From $125 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Mariner Suites Hollywood in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The meet-and-greet there is included in the fare; a name-sign welcome is a $20 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
The Mariner Suites Hollywood puts you in Hollywood, the beach town that sits about halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. It keeps an easy, unhurried rhythm that many cruise travelers prefer to the busier cities on either side. The shoreline is only steps from the door — close enough that plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they step off the boat.
What gives Hollywood its character sits within easy reach. The Broadwalk runs along the water for a long, flat stretch made for a slow walk, a bike ride, or a first meal on dry land. ArtsPark brings the town’s green, cultural side, and the Seminole Hard Rock casino keeps the evenings lively when you want more than the beach. Between them, the neighborhood strikes a balance that works for families, couples, and larger groups arriving off the same sailing.
The Mariner Suites Hollywood is the destination this ride is built around, and the chauffeur takes you from your ship’s terminal straight to its door. Because the service reaches every address in Hollywood, there is no last-mile gap to sort out once you land. You arrive with the beach at hand and the rest of the stay in front of you — the sand, the Broadwalk, and the town’s slower pace all waiting a short walk from where the bags come off the vehicle. It is the kind of first stop that lets the trip settle from the moment you check in.
Book the ride before you dock and disembarkation turns simple. Your reserved black SUV is staged at the terminal before you clear the hall, so the wait belongs to the driver, not to you. The chauffeur handles the luggage at the curb, loads it into the vehicle, and pulls out for The Mariner Suites Hollywood as a single, direct leg — no stops, no strangers, no vehicle to share.
From Port of Miami the route runs about 22.3 miles by way of I-95, and the drive normally takes 43 to 59 minutes depending on traffic and the hour. Pickup is timed to your ship’s arrival, with 30 minutes of free waiting built in to cover customs and the luggage hall. You walk out, the vehicle is there, and the next thing you see is the door of The Mariner Suites Hollywood.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
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.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
Yes for the details: add a passenger, a child seat or a note up to 12 hours before the pickup time. No for the date, which stays as booked.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
Getting off the ship on my own, I had a driver there with my name on a sign for the ride to The Mariner Suites Hollywood — zero hassle. There was a sign with my name at the curb, so I didn’t have to look around. It was a private car just for me — no one else’s stops — exactly right for the morning.
After our week aboard, my partner and I didn’t feel like chasing a ride at the terminal, so we arranged a private car to The Mariner Suites Hollywood. We were dropped at the entrance of The Mariner Suites Hollywood, not down the block. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to juggle it all.
Took all the worry out of disembarkation morning — exactly what we needed. There was room for everyone for the whole group and all our cruise luggage in one van to The Mariner Suites Hollywood.
Bajamos del barco cansados pero contentos y un auto privado directo a The Mariner Suites Hollywood fue la decisión correcta. Sin filas que hacer — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no había duda de cuál era el auto al salir. Lo reservaría para el próximo crucero.
De crucero con los niños, queríamos el puerto resuelto, así que una van privada esperando en la terminal The Mariner Suites Hollywood nos hizo el día. El conductor nos dejó directo frente a The Mariner Suites Hollywood, y no del otro lado de la calle. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no había duda de cuál era el auto al salir. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
