From $125 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Villa Europa Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Villa Europa Hotel sits in Hollywood, the beach town that keeps its own easy rhythm halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Instead of the rush of a big-city core, the area around the hotel leans into a slower coastal pace, which makes it a welcome landing spot after days aboard a ship. You step off the cruise, and within the hour you can be settling into a stretch of Florida that feels calm rather than crowded.
The shoreline is close enough that plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk runs right along the water, an easy path for a walk, a coffee, or a first look at the ocean on solid ground. Nearby, ArtsPark at Young Circle gives the neighborhood a gathering place, with open lawns and space to slow down after the pace of a cruise week.
Beyond the sand, Hollywood keeps more within reach. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is close by for an evening out, and West Lake Park offers quieter hours outdoors when you would rather trade the beach crowd for a bit of green. Staying at Villa Europa Hotel puts you between all of it, with the coast a short step away and the rest of the town an easy hop. Tell us the ship and the arrival date, and the vehicle is staged for your morning so the first part of your stay starts on time rather than in a line.
The ride begins right at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Once your group clears the hall, the driver — coordinated by message as you exit — meets you at the curb, loads the luggage, and you pull away as one private group. There is no second stop and no waiting around for anyone else; the vehicle is yours, and the bags ride with you rather than following behind.
From the port the route follows I-95 north toward Hollywood, a run that usually takes 44 to 60 minutes depending on the hour. Traffic on I-95 is the one real variable, so the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare instead of a slot cut to the minute. Your bags stay in the vehicle the whole way and come out at the entrance to Villa Europa Hotel, carried to the curb beside you.
Booking the ride in advance locks the price and the vehicle size, puts a driver on your arrival time, and turns the first leg of the trip into the easiest one. The group stays together and the luggage rides with you.
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.
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.
The black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
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.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
El desembarque más tranquilo que hemos tenido — conductor en la acera, maletas resueltas, directo a la puerta de Villa Europa Hotel. El viaje de la terminal a Villa Europa Hotel fue fácil todo el camino, y pudimos acomodarnos y nada más.
Nuestro equipo reservó una van directo del puerto a Villa Europa Hotel, y nadie tuvo que preocuparse por nada. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin nadie a quien esperar — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos. Había espacio de sobra para todo el grupo y la pila entera de valijas en una sola van hasta Villa Europa Hotel.
For a stress-free disembarkation, my husband and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Villa Europa Hotel. The ride from the terminal to Villa Europa Hotel was easy the whole way, and we could just watch the city go by.
Getting the whole party off the ship and over to Villa Europa Hotel is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Villa Europa Hotel, it was well worth it.
My husband and I stepped off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Villa Europa Hotel. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
