A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach covers 20.5 miles (33.0 km) in 49–60 minutes by black SUV, flat rate from $120 per vehicle. Your group rides in one reserved, climate-controlled vehicle with a bilingual driver who meets you curbside at the cruise terminal and drops you door-to-door at the resort.
Fares are flat and per vehicle, set at booking and tied to the vehicle class you reserve, never the number of riders.
Book one of three private vehicle classes, then meet your driver curbside at the cruise terminal. The black SUV seats up to five passengers; the larger vans carry six to nine or ten to fourteen, so the whole party travels together. After you clear customs and collect your bags, the driver greets your group right outside the terminal hall. There is room for cruise luggage, so suitcases, carry-ons, and beach gear load straight in. From the port the run heads north to Hollywood Beach, ending with door-to-door drop-off at the resort entrance. To reserve, message the WhatsApp line with your ship name, arrival date, party size, and the vehicle class you want; the pickup is confirmed in writing before your cruise.
There is room for cruise luggage in every class. Suitcases, carry-ons, and beach gear load directly into the reserved SUV or van, so a family clearing the terminal with a full set of bags rides together in one vehicle without a second trip.
Three private vehicle classes cover solo cruisers up to large family groups, each reserved exclusively for your party.
One vehicle is reserved for your party alone, so you share the ride with no strangers and make no extra stops. The fare is a flat rate locked the moment you book — it does not climb with rush-hour demand, holiday weekends, or the crowd of a multi-ship cruise morning. A bilingual driver, fluent in English plus Spanish or Portuguese, handles the meet-up and the drive, which smooths arrival for international cruise travelers. Booking and questions run through direct WhatsApp, so you reach a real person before, during, and after the trip rather than an app queue. The vehicle is climate-controlled and sized to your group, whether that is a couple stepping off a balcony cabin or a multi-generation family clearing the terminal together. The result is a calmer, more coordinated arrival than piecing together transport at the curb after a long voyage.
The drive runs 20.5 miles and takes 49 to 60 minutes door to door. Off-peak, soon after an early disembarkation, the northbound run tends toward the lower 49-minute figure. During afternoon and rush-hour demand it stretches closer to 60 minutes. Your driver follows the I-95 Express lanes for most of the trip, the fastest corridor linking downtown Miami with the Broward County beach towns. Cruise mornings carry their own rhythm: when three or four ships disembark on the same tide, terminal roadways and the first highway miles crawl, then open up. The driver plans the departure window around your ship’s scheduled clearance so the group reaches DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach without a rushed connection.
DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hollywood Beach sits directly on the sand of Hollywood Beach, on the South Florida coast between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. The resort fronts the Atlantic and the palm-lined Hollywood Broadwalk, a brick promenade made for walking, cycling, and beachfront dining. Guests step from the lobby to the ocean in minutes, which makes it an easy first or last night around a cruise. You can review rooms, amenities, and check-in details on the official Hollywood Beach resort hotel page or the property’s own resort information site.
The Hollywood Broadwalk runs right past the resort, lined with cafes, ice-cream stands, bike rentals, and casual seafood spots facing the Atlantic. The beach itself is the main draw, with calm swimming and wide sand. Charnow Park and the oceanfront fishing pier sit within an easy stroll for families filling time before or after a sailing.
The location works well for cruise travelers because it is north of the port yet a single direct highway run away. Arriving guests can settle into a beachfront room the night a voyage ends; departing guests can stage one calm night nearby and ride back to PortMiami the next morning. A private transfer ties both ends together.
The flat rate covers the private vehicle reserved for your group, the bilingual driver, and onboard WiFi delivered through a mobile hotspot for the ride. You travel the whole route with no shared seats and no detours, and the figure approved at booking is the figure you pay for that vehicle class. Small pets are welcome when you give advance notice over WhatsApp and they ride in a pet carrier.
Yes. Tolls, SunPass charges along the I-95 Express lanes, and fuel are all built into the quoted per-vehicle fare. There is no road-toll line item handed to you at the end of the trip and no separate fuel or mileage charge added on disembarkation day.
A few extras sit outside the base fare. The first child seat is free for a child under five, while each additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Trips outside daytime hours carry the after-hours addition below, and a booked round trip is priced for both legs.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure card link sent over WhatsApp or the booking website. There is no cash-only rule and no app wallet to set up at the terminal — you arrange payment ahead of your cruise and confirm it in writing. Each fare is quoted per vehicle for the class you choose, so the figure you approve at booking is the figure that stands. International cruise travelers can settle the cost before arrival and skip juggling currency on disembarkation morning.
Yes. A round trip is priced as exactly double the one-way fare for the same vehicle class, with no separate return premium. Reserve both legs together and the driver handles your outbound terminal pickup and the return to the port on your departure date, both at the locked per-vehicle rate.
A 50% deposit secures the booking and locks your vehicle and pickup window; the remaining 50% is paid directly to the driver on the day of the trip. The deposit can move through Venmo, Zelle, or the secure link, and your written confirmation lists the balance due.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the one flat price tied to the class you book, whether two people or a full van of fourteen travel together. Adding passengers within a class capacity does not raise the fare.
Daytime hours run 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. Trips that fall outside that window carry a small after-hours addition by vehicle class.
Your driver tracks your ship’s arrival, so a late docking does not cost you the ride. The pickup is re-timed at no charge to match when you actually clear the terminal. Send your ship name when you book and the driver follows its scheduled clearance, waiting for your group rather than the original clock.
Your driver waits curbside at your cruise terminal’s arrivals exit, right where passengers stream out after customs. Request a name sign over WhatsApp and the driver holds it so you spot each other quickly in the disembarkation crowd. You confirm the exact meeting point in your booking message before the ship returns to PortMiami.
Yes. Disembarkation-day pickups are the core of this service — reserve in advance with your ship name and clearance time, and the driver is in position when you exit. The earliest cruise mornings fall inside daytime hours from 7 AM, so a private SUV or van is ready at the terminal curb.
Yes to both, with notice. The first child seat is free for a child under five; each additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Small pets ride too, carried in a pet carrier, when you flag them over WhatsApp ahead of the trip so the right vehicle is assigned.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Llegamos tarde y agotados, mi pareja y yo, la camioneta lucía nueva y bien mantenida. el aire acondicionado estaba al punto justo tras un día largo. Valió la reserva.
Viajando com as crianças, chegou alguns minutinhos antes. acompanharam a chegada do nosso navio sem precisar pedir. Anotei o contato pra próxima.
Sem perrengue. o valor combinado se manteve, ainda por cima mesmo com trânsito a rota fez sentido.
Well organized. no extra charges popped up, plus no waving down anyone, the car was where they said. We were 8 in the van and still comfortable.
Sem firula. valor competitivo para serviço privado.
