A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Hollywood Beach Marriott Hotel runs 22.5 miles (36.3 km) in about 49–58 minutes door to door at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle, riding in a black SUV or climate-controlled van. A bilingual driver meets your group at the terminal and the fare stays fixed from the moment you reserve.
Pricing is a flat rate per vehicle, set by group size and locked the moment you book.
Three private vehicle sizes cover this route, and you choose yours when you book—an SUV for smaller parties or a van for larger groups. There is ample room for cruise luggage, so the whole family loads once and rides door to door straight to the Marriott’s oceanfront entrance. Booking runs through WhatsApp, where you lock the vehicle, the date, and the pickup window in a short exchange with a real person. No transfers, no waiting on a connection, and no working out a train or a public bus with bags in tow—it is one private ride from the cruise terminal to the hotel, with the driver handling the road while you settle in after the sailing.
Your group rides alone—no strangers, no extra stops, no shared van peeling off to other addresses along the way. The fare is locked the moment you book, so demand spikes and rush-hour pricing never touch the amount you agreed to. A bilingual driver (English plus Spanish or Portuguese) handles the route while you decompress after a long week at sea. Booking happens straight over WhatsApp, where you confirm pickup details and get a person rather than an app queue. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone from the moment your reservation is set. For cruise passengers juggling tight connections and a pile of bags, that coordination is the entire point of going private.
The ride runs about 49 minutes in light traffic and stretches to 58 minutes when the highways fill up. Drivers take the I-95 EXPR corridor north out of the port area, the fastest line between downtown Miami and the Hollywood Beach oceanfront. Off-peak windows—early mornings and mid-evenings—keep the trip near the shorter end. Cruise disembarkation mornings, when several ships unload at once, push the run toward the upper figure as the terminal exits and the interstate back up. Because the fare is fixed, a slower stretch never changes what you pay; the driver simply absorbs the extra minutes. Building in a small buffer is smart when a flight or a dinner reservation is waiting at the far end.
The Hollywood Beach Marriott sits directly on the Atlantic, steps from the sand and the pedestrian Broadwalk. The oceanfront resort pairs beach access with a pool and on-site dining, an easy place to trade the ship for the shore. After a cruise it is a short coastal drive from the terminal to the front door. See the Hollywood Beach Marriott overview for rooms and amenities, or browse the Hollywood, Florida hotel guide for the wider area.
The Marriott itself is the oceanfront base for this route, putting you right on Hollywood Beach with the water out front. If you want to explore beyond it, the Broadwalk district and the nearby downtown Hollywood neighborhood keep you close to the sand and the dining strip. Most cruise visitors book the beachfront and let the promenade set the pace.
The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk runs right outside the resort—a pedestrian path along the sand lined with cafes, ice cream stands, and bike rentals. The Atlantic is steps away for swimming, and the area’s casual oceanfront restaurants are an easy stroll. For arriving cruise passengers, it is a low-key beach base after days at sea.
Three private options cover every cruise party, and you reserve the whole vehicle rather than a seat on a shared ride. Pick the size that matches your group when you book.
Every fare covers the full door-to-door ride with nothing sprung on you later. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built into the price you book. The vehicle carries a mobile hotspot, so the group stays connected on the drive north toward the coast. The driver handles the route and the loading while you recover from disembarking. The only items handled separately are extras you request ahead of time, confirmed at booking. That keeps the number you see in the prices section the number you actually pay for a standard daytime ride between the port and the hotel.
Yes to both, arranged ahead of time. Small pets ride along when you give advance notice on WhatsApp and bring them in a pet carrier. For families, the first child seat is free for a child under five; each additional child seat carries an extra fee confirmed when you book. Flag both needs in your reservation message so the driver arrives ready.
Most of what you need is already in the fare. The only items billed separately are additional child seats beyond the first free one, plus the surcharge for pickups outside daytime hours described below. Nothing is added for traffic or demand, so a standard daytime ride between the terminal and the Marriott stays at the price you booked.
Payment splits into a deposit and a balance. You can pay by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent over WhatsApp or through the website. A 50% deposit confirms the booking, and the remaining 50% goes to the driver on the day of the trip. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare, booked as two coordinated pickups—your outbound from the terminal and your return to the port. Choosing your method takes a moment and locks the reservation in, with the per-vehicle amount fixed before the driver ever pulls up.
Rides inside standard daytime hours carry no surcharge. Trips picked up before the daytime window opens or after it closes—early-morning cruise calls or late evenings—add a small amount by vehicle type:
Cruise schedules run on their own clock, so the questions below cover the timing and logistics that matter most when your ship is the starting or ending point of the trip. Each answer states the real detail up front so you can book with the full picture in hand.
Your pickup re-times to the actual arrival at no extra charge. The flat fare is locked at booking, so a delayed docking doesn’t change what you pay. Send your ship and terminal over WhatsApp and the driver plans around the real debark time rather than a guessed schedule, then meets you whenever customs clears the group.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person—your entire group rides for the one flat price shown in the prices section above. Whether it is two of you in the SUV or fourteen across a large van, the fare is set by the vehicle you reserve and never multiplied by headcount.
A round trip is exactly double the one-way fare, with no markup added for the return leg. You book both directions at once, the driver handles your outbound terminal pickup and the return to the port, and the same per-vehicle pricing applies each way. One reservation covers the full there-and-back.
The driver waits curb-side at your cruise terminal and meets the group as you come out, holding a name sign when you request one over WhatsApp ahead of time. You won’t hunt through a rideshare lot or a taxi line—pickup happens right where you exit, then it is straight to the vehicle and on to Hollywood Beach.
Yes—disembarkation morning is one of the most common pickups on this route. Share your ship and terminal over WhatsApp and the driver plans the timing around your debark window, even when several ships unload together and the terminal roads back up. The reserved vehicle is ready whenever customs clears you.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
