From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Villa Harding Hotel & Suites 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.
Villa Harding Hotel & Suites sits in South Beach, the stretch of coast where the Miami you picture actually lives. This is the walkable grid of pastel facades and palm-lined blocks that runs from the sand up to the shops, and the hotel puts you in the middle of it. After days at sea, you arrive somewhere you can settle into on foot, with the ocean a short walk one way and the district’s cafes and storefronts the other.
The surrounding neighborhood is the reason people choose to stay here. The Art Deco Historic District, with its restored 1930s buildings, sits close by, as does Ocean Drive and the pedestrian lanes of Española Way. Lincoln Road Mall gathers the area’s shopping and dining into one open-air promenade, and the New World Center anchors the cultural side of things. Lummus Park Beach fronts the whole scene, so the water is never far from the door.
Arrival day at a place like this is refreshingly simple. You clear the terminal, your bags come with you, and the ride ends at the entrance rather than at a curb blocks away. From there the plan is yours: drop your luggage, change, and walk to the water for a beach afternoon, or wander the Deco blocks and Lincoln Road before dinner. Anything about the stay itself belongs to Villa Harding Hotel & Suites and its own front desk; getting you and your luggage there in one clean run is our part of the trip.
The trip is a single direct run from the pier to the hotel, with no stops along the way. Your chauffeur is coordinated by message as you step out of the terminal hall and meets your group at the curb on Dodge Island, not off in a parking lot. Tell us your cruise line ahead of time and the vehicle is staged at the correct terminal, so the person you are looking for is already there when you walk out with your bags.
Every bag rides inside the same vehicle as your party, loaded curbside and unloaded at the door of Villa Harding Hotel & Suites, so there is no dragging luggage across the port and no shuffling between rides. The car is reserved for your group alone, with fuel and standard tolls already inside the flat fare. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation and your booking carries 30 minutes of complimentary wait while you clear customs.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
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.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
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.
My partner and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to Villa Harding Hotel & Suites before we even sailed. We went from the ship to the front desk of Villa Harding Hotel & Suites with no stress at all. The fare was locked in at booking, the same number we were quoted.
First time cruising solo out of PortMiami, and having a private car waiting at the terminal for the trip to Villa Harding Hotel & Suites could not have been smoother. I’ve already earmarked them for my next cruise out of PortMiami. The car was fresh and comfortable, and there was space for everything.
El desembarque más fácil que he tenido — recogida en la terminal, equipaje listo, directo a la puerta de Villa Harding Hotel & Suites.
Traveling with our little ones, we arranged a private van to meet us at the cruise terminal and take everyone over to Villa Harding Hotel & Suites. We knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was no guessing at the port. The ride from the terminal to Villa Harding Hotel & Suites was quiet and relaxed, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
Reservamos una sola van para la comitiva entera de la terminal a Villa Harding Hotel & Suites para que hiciéramos el check-in todos juntos. Ya guardamos el contacto para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami.
