A private Black SUV runs to or from Port of Miami and Belvedere Inn at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle, with vans for larger parties. Your bilingual driver meets the group curb-side at the cruise terminal, loads the bags, and drives door-to-door. The fare is locked when you book — no surge, no per-person math, no shared ride.
The rate is per vehicle and locked at booking — pick the size that fits your party, not a head count.
A private door-to-door transfer is the simplest way off the ship to Belvedere Inn. Book a Black SUV for parties up to five, a van for six to nine, or the larger van for ten to fourteen. After you clear the terminal, the driver is already waiting curb-side and steps in to load the cruise luggage — there is ample room for suitcases and carry-ons. From there it is a straight ride to the inn’s entrance, with no transfers, no waiting in a rank, and no second leg to arrange. To reserve, send your ship name, terminal, disembark date, and group size by WhatsApp or email, and the pickup is matched to your debark window. The same booking works in reverse for the return to the port on sailing day.
A vehicle is reserved for your party alone — you ride with your own group and no one else. The driver is bilingual, so directions, stops, and questions are easy from the first minute. The price is fixed when you book, so demand and traffic never change what you pay, and a quick WhatsApp thread keeps you in direct contact before and on the day. For cruise travelers landing in an unfamiliar port with bags and a schedule, that combination removes the guesswork: a known car, a known driver, a known fare, all confirmed in advance.
Yes — the SUV or van you book carries your party and no strangers. There is no pooling, no extra pickups, and no detours to drop off other riders along the way. The whole vehicle is yours from the cruise terminal straight through to the door at Belvedere Inn, on your timing.
The drive is a single continuous run from the terminal to the inn’s door with no transfers in between. Mid-day and evening traffic generally moves freely, while disembark mornings tend to run slower, especially when several ships release passengers in the same window and the port roads fill at once. The driver watches local conditions and chooses the cleanest route on the day, so you are not routed into avoidable backups. Because the fare is fixed at booking, a slower-than-usual stretch never adds to the price — what you agreed to stays the price whether the roads are clear or busy.
Three private tiers cover most cruise parties. Lead with the SUV for couples, families, and small groups, then scale up by passenger count for larger travel parties.
Belvedere Inn is the destination itself — a refined inn known for contemporary American cuisine and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, making it an easy place to settle in after a sailing. Arriving by private transfer means you step out at the entrance rather than hunting for parking or a final connection with your bags in hand. For menus, hours, and details before you travel, see the Belvedere Inn Official Website.
Belvedere Inn is itself a place to stay and dine, so many cruise guests book the transfer straight to its door. If you are staying in the wider surrounding area instead, the driver can drop you at any address you provide in the same neighborhood — the flat rate covers the door-to-door run regardless of which entrance is yours.
The inn pairs lodging with its own contemporary American dining room, so a meal and a place to unwind are on-site the moment you arrive. The surrounding streets are walkable for a stroll once you have dropped your bags. Check the official site above for current dining hours and any seasonal events before you plan the evening.
The flat fare covers the private vehicle, the bilingual driver, and the full door-to-door drive between the cruise terminal and Belvedere Inn. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all included, so the booked price is the complete price for the ride. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot in the vehicle, letting you message ahead, confirm your check-in, or keep the family connected during the trip. Curb-side meet-and-greet at the terminal is part of the service, with a name sign available on request. What sits outside the rate is listed below so there are no surprises.
Gratuity for the driver is optional and not built into the fare. Late-night pickups outside daytime hours carry the surcharge described further down, and each additional child seat beyond the first carries an extra fee confirmed when you book. Anything not listed in these service details is simply not part of the booking — ask on WhatsApp if you are unsure.
Yes. The first child seat for a child under five is free, requested when you book so it is fitted and ready at pickup. Each additional child seat carries a small extra fee, confirmed at booking. Let the team know the number and ages of children on WhatsApp so the right seats are in the vehicle.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp and must travel in a proper pet carrier. Mention your pet when you book so the driver expects it and the vehicle is prepared. This keeps the ride comfortable for your group and any travelers in later bookings of the same vehicle.
Yes — a mobile hotspot provides WiFi in the vehicle at no extra charge. You can confirm your inn check-in, share an arrival time with family, or simply stay online after weeks at sea. Coverage follows the local mobile network along the route, which stays strong across the populated stretches of the drive.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent by WhatsApp or the website — choose whichever suits you when you confirm. A 50% deposit secures the booking and locks your fare, and the remaining 50% goes to the driver on the day of the trip. There is no charge at the curb beyond that final balance, and the deposit guarantees the vehicle and driver are reserved specifically for your debark window. Sort the deposit early and trip day stays simple.
A round trip is simply double the one-way fare — the rate for the port-to-inn leg plus the same rate for the inn-to-port return on sailing day. Booking both directions together locks one driver and vehicle for both runs, so your departure to the ship is already arranged before you even arrive.
Yes — a 50% deposit confirms and holds the booking, paid by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link. The balance, the other 50%, is settled directly with the driver on the day. The deposit is what reserves your specific vehicle and timing, so the earlier it is in, the more firmly your slot is held.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips that fall outside that window carry a small added charge for the off-hours pickup.
Yes — disembark-day pickups are the core of this service. Send your ship name and terminal when you book, and the driver is scheduled to your expected debark window. Mornings when several ships clear together run busier at the port, so building in a little buffer keeps the pickup smooth. Your vehicle is reserved and waiting curb-side as you exit.
If your ship docks behind schedule, the driver adjusts to your actual debark time at no added cost. Pickups are timed to the ship’s arrival rather than a rigid clock, so a delayed docking re-times your ride instead of forfeiting it. Keep the WhatsApp thread open and the team follows the updated debark and meets you when you genuinely step off.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole party rides for the one flat price shown in the price list above. A solo traveler and a group of five in the same SUV pay the identical fare. That makes splitting the cost across a family or group straightforward, with no head-count math at the curb.
Yes — pickups run around the clock to match cruise schedules, including before dawn and well into the evening. Trips inside the 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM window carry no surcharge, while those outside it add the small off-hours charge listed earlier. Whatever time your ship clears or your departure is set, the transfer is arranged to it.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
