A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Trump National Doral Miami Resort covers 6 miles (9.7 km) in roughly 12 to 20 minutes door to door, riding in a black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. The route runs west from the cruise terminal into Doral, with curb-side pickup the moment you clear the ship.
These are the flat per-vehicle rates for the run between the cruise terminal and Doral, locked the moment you book.
Pick the vehicle that fits your party, and the curb-side pickup handles the rest. The black SUV carries up to 5 cruise passengers, the mid-size van seats 6 to 9, and the largest van takes 10 to 14. Once you clear the terminal, your driver meets you at the curb and loads everyone for the 6-mile run west into Doral, with the drop-off at the resort entrance. There is ample room for cruise luggage in every vehicle, so suitcases and roll-aboards ride with you rather than following in a second car. The whole trip is a single, door-to-door leg with no transfers, no bus lines, and no waiting for a shared van to fill.
Yes — reserve ahead so a vehicle and driver are assigned to your arrival date. Send your ship name, dock date, and party size over WhatsApp, and you will get a confirmation back before you board. Last-minute requests depend on availability, so booking early secures the flat rate and your preferred pickup window.
Your party rides alone in a vehicle reserved for your group — no strangers, no extra stops, no pooling with other passengers. The driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the handoff at a crowded terminal where directions and timing matter. Your fare is locked the moment you book, so demand, the hour of day, or heavy disembarkation traffic never moves the number you agreed to. You arrange the trip over a direct WhatsApp thread with a real person, confirming ship name, headcount, and pickup time before you sail rather than gambling on a curbside hail. Drop-off lands you at the resort entrance, not a generic corner, which is exactly what a family unloading cruise bags wants after a week at sea.
The 6-mile drive runs about 12 minutes off-peak and stretches toward 20 minutes at peak. The route leaves the port and heads west through central Miami-Dade toward Doral, a short hop compared with most cruise-terminal transfers. Off-peak windows — mid-morning, early afternoon, and most evenings — keep the trip near the lower end. The upper end reflects rush-hour congestion and the surge of vehicles leaving the port on a busy disembarkation morning. Because the fare is flat, a slower ride never changes what you pay; the only thing that shifts is the clock, and even the longer figure stays well under half an hour door to door.
Several ships clearing the terminal at once is the main delay — thousands of passengers and their rides funnel onto the same roads within a short window. Weekday morning rush hour adds to it. Your driver watches the terminal flow and times the pickup to keep your group moving rather than idling in the port queue.
Trump National Doral is a golf and spa resort set in Doral, in western Miami-Dade County, a quick run inland from the cruise port. The property is built around championship golf, with on-site dining, a spa, and pools, making it a self-contained base for a pre- or post-cruise stay. You can read the full Trump National Doral resort overview or browse the layout of its Doral golf courses before you arrive.
Golf anchors the resort, with multiple championship courses including its best-known signature layout. Beyond the fairways, the property offers a full spa, several pools, tennis, and a range of on-site restaurants and lounges. Many guests never leave the grounds, which suits cruise travelers who want a quiet, all-in-one stay before or after a sailing.
Doral surrounds the resort with shopping, casual and international dining, and parks, and it sits close to the western edge of the metro area. The neighborhood is calmer and more spread out than the waterfront districts, giving families easy parking and quick local errands. It is a practical staging point either side of your cruise.
Match the vehicle to your headcount and travel light on decisions. Every option is private to your party and includes a bilingual driver.
Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built into the flat fare, so the price you book is the price you pay — there is nothing to settle for road charges along the way. Each vehicle carries an onboard WiFi hotspot, handy for reconnecting after days at sea or sharing arrival details with the rest of your party. The bilingual driver, the reserved private vehicle, and the door-to-door drop at the resort entrance are part of the same rate. The figure covers the trip itself end to end; a few specific extras, listed below, sit outside it.
Two items can sit outside the flat fare. A surcharge applies to pickups outside daytime hours, detailed in its own section below. Child seats beyond the first one carry an added fee confirmed when you book. Everything else for the trip — tolls, fuel, WiFi, and the driver — is already inside the rate you lock in.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp and must travel inside a pet carrier for the ride. Flagging it when you book lets the driver plan space and confirm the carrier setup. Let us know the pet and carrier size with your ship and pickup details so the arrival goes smoothly.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent over WhatsApp or our website — whichever is easiest for you. You confirm the booking with part of the fare upfront and settle the balance with your driver on the day, so nothing is left to sort out at the curb. There are no hidden processing add-ons layered onto the per-vehicle price; what you see on the price sheet is the total for the trip. Sorting payment in advance also means the driver has your details ready and your vehicle assigned before your ship docks, which keeps the disembarkation-day handoff quick.
You pay 50% when you book to lock the vehicle and the flat rate, then hand the remaining 50% to your driver on trip day. The deposit reserves your slot for the date and party size you confirmed, so the assigned vehicle is held specifically for your arrival rather than offered to other passengers.
A round trip is simply the one-way fare doubled — the outbound leg and the return leg each carry the same flat per-vehicle rate. Booking both legs together means one driver and one coordinated plan for your whole cruise visit, with the return pickup arranged in the same WhatsApp thread.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no added charge. Trips that fall outside that window carry a surcharge that depends on vehicle size.
Your driver monitors the terminal debark times and re-times the pickup at no extra cost if your ship arrives behind schedule. There is no need to re-book or re-confirm — the assigned vehicle simply adjusts to your actual disembarkation. Just keep your WhatsApp thread handy so you can ping the driver as you reach the curb.
The driver meets your group curb-side, right outside the cruise terminal exit, as you come off the ship. Request a name sign in advance over WhatsApp and the driver will hold it so you spot them quickly in the crowd. Message when you clear the terminal and you will be loaded and rolling within minutes.
Yes — disembarkation-day pickups are the core of this service, booked in advance for your arrival date. Reserve with your ship name and dock date so a vehicle is assigned to that morning. The driver tracks the terminal flow and meets you at the curb as you exit, ready for the short run to Doral.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price shown on the sheet above. Five travelers in the SUV pay the same as one, and a full van splits a single rate across everyone. There is no per-head charge, so larger parties get the best value per traveler.
The first child seat is free for a child under 5, and each additional seat carries an extra fee confirmed at booking. Tell us the number and ages of children traveling so the right seats are installed before pickup. Flagging this early keeps the curb-side handoff smooth for families arriving with little ones.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
