From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Westover Arms Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
Westover Arms Hotel sits in Mid-Beach, the stretch of Miami Beach that runs quieter than South Beach yet stays right on the ocean. This is Collins Avenue territory, a run of beachfront resorts and low-key blocks where the pace slows down without giving up the water. For travelers stepping off a cruise, it makes an easy landing spot: close enough to the action, far enough from the crush to feel like a real break.
The neighborhood gives you plenty to fill a day. The Bass Museum sits just a few blocks south, and the beachwalk carries you along the sand in either direction. A little further out, the Faena District and Indian Creek round out the Mid-Beach map, so the area around your stay holds galleries, ocean paths, and a mix of dining without asking you to travel far. The Miami Beach Boardwalk is close by too, an easy walk once you have dropped your bags and want to stretch your legs by the water.
When your driver pulls up to the entrance, the arrival is simple. Bags come out of the vehicle and go to the curb beside you, and the drop-off puts you right at the door rather than a block away. From there the rest of Mid-Beach opens up on foot, so the first afternoon can be as slow or as full as you like. It is the kind of base that suits both a rest day and a walk along Collins Avenue toward whatever caught your eye on the way in.
The ride is a straight, private run from the cruise terminal to the door of Westover Arms Hotel, no stops and no shared seats. Your driver follows Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 for the roughly 8.9-mile hop, a trip that usually takes about 23 to 25 minutes depending on the hour. Traffic on the causeway and I-195 is the only real variable, which is why the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute.
Once you clear the terminal, your chauffeur is waiting at the curb, coordinated by message as you come out of the hall. Luggage rides in the vehicle with the group, carried for you at both ends, so there is no dragging bags across the port. From the moment the doors close it is one direct ride to the entrance of Westover Arms Hotel, with the car reserved for your party alone the whole way.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
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.
Late is fine: the SUV night fee is $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 outside them for pickups between 9 PM and 7 AM. A stop on the route runs $45 per 30 minutes, and a child seat is $15.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
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.
Smoothest disembarkation we’ve had — met right at the terminal, luggage sorted, straight to the door of Westover Arms Hotel. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
After our week aboard, my husband and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we pre-booked a private car to Westover Arms Hotel. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out. The SUV was spotless, and the AC was perfect after the ship. Made getting off the ship so easy.
We cruised with a group of friends and wanted all of us and the bags in one private ride to Westover Arms Hotel after disembarking. No line to stand in — we just went straight from the curb into the car. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Westover Arms Hotel. Getting to Westover Arms Hotel first thing meant we could settle in without waiting around. No scramble at the port — we just stepped out and the car was ready. Highly recommend.
After a week at sea I just wanted nothing left to think about, so a private car from the port to Westover Arms Hotel was exactly right. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt looked after from the terminal all the way to the door of Westover Arms Hotel.
