A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Trump International Beach Resort Miami covers 19.9 miles (32.0 km) in about 46 to 55 minutes door to door, in a black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle. One booking carries your whole cruise party, with room for luggage, terminal to lobby.
Fares are set per vehicle and locked the moment you book, so the figure you see is the figure you pay — no metered jump on a busy disembark morning.
A private vehicle reserved for your group is the direct way to reach Sunny Isles Beach from the ship. Pick the tier that matches your party: a black SUV for up to five travelers, a van for six to nine, or a larger van for ten to fourteen. After you clear customs, your driver is waiting curb-side at the cruise terminal as you step out, holding a name sign when you request one over WhatsApp ahead of time. There is room in the vehicle for the suitcases a cruise leaves you with, so the group loads once and rides together. From the terminal the driver heads north and drops you door-to-door at the resort entrance — no second leg, no transfers, no waiting for other passengers to board. Booking is a single WhatsApp message: send your ship name, arrival date, party size, and hotel, and the pickup is set.
The vehicle is yours alone — no shared ride, no detours to drop strangers first. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the handoff after a long sailing. The flat rate is fixed at booking, so a peak-hour rush or heavy traffic never changes the number on the screen. We track ship arrival times, so a late docking simply re-times your pickup rather than costing you a missed car. Communication runs straight through WhatsApp — the same thread you used to book is the thread you use on trip day to reach your driver. For cruise passengers stepping off with tight onward plans, that means the car is already accounted for before you reach the curb, and the person meeting you knows your name, your ship, and where you are headed.
Door-to-door travel runs about 46 minutes off-peak and stretches toward 55 minutes at peak. The northbound trip uses the I-95 EXPR express lanes for the fast middle stretch before turning east toward the Collins Avenue beachfront and the resort. Disembark mornings move slower: when several ships clear customs together, the terminal roads and the first miles of highway back up, which pushes the drive toward the upper end of that window. Late-afternoon departures generally sit nearer the off-peak figure. Your driver watches live conditions and adjusts the route in real time, but the fare does not move with the clock — a slow stretch of traffic is already inside the flat rate you locked. If you are heading back to the port for embarkation, plan the same window in reverse and add buffer for terminal check-in lines.
Trump International Beach Resort is an oceanfront property in Sunny Isles Beach, a slim barrier-island strip of high-rise towers between Miami Beach and Aventura. The resort fronts a wide Atlantic beach, with pools, spa, and waterfront dining on site, while the surrounding blocks add cafés, casual restaurants, and beach access points within a short walk. Aventura Mall, one of the largest shopping centers in Florida, sits a few minutes inland for those who want retail and a full food hall. Bal Harbour’s upscale boutiques and the wider Miami Beach scene are a quick drive south. For room details, rates, and on-site amenities, see the Trump International Beach Resort official site.
Yes — the property sits directly on the Sunny Isles Beach oceanfront, so the sand and the Atlantic are steps from the lobby. Your driver drops you at the main entrance, and the beach, pools, and ocean-view dining are reached without leaving the grounds. The wide public shoreline continues for blocks in both directions.
Every booking includes tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel inside the one flat fare, so the highway express lanes add nothing at the end. The vehicle carries an onboard WiFi hotspot for the ride. The first child seat for a child under five is included at no charge — useful for families stepping off a cruise — while any additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed when you book. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, traveling in a pet carrier. The driver, the named meet-and-greet, and the door-to-door routing are all part of the rate. Beyond that, the price stays exactly as quoted from terminal to lobby.
Two items can sit outside the base fare. Each child seat after the first carries an extra charge confirmed at booking, since only the first one rides free. Pickups outside the 7 AM to 9 PM daytime window add the after-hours fee described further down. Nothing else is added once your fare is locked.
Three private tiers cover the way cruise parties travel, every one reserved for your group alone.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website — whichever is easiest before your sailing. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare, booked as a single reservation so both legs are held. You confirm the trip with a deposit and settle the balance with the driver on the day, which keeps the upfront step small and the rest in person.
You pay 50% at booking to lock the vehicle and the time slot, then hand the remaining 50% to the driver on trip day. The deposit secures the rate against demand, and the on-day balance can go to the driver directly. The split applies the same way to one-way and round-trip reservations.
Your pickup re-times automatically at no extra cost. We track ship arrival, so a delayed docking shifts the driver’s schedule to match when you actually clear customs. There is no need to re-book or pay again — just keep us posted on WhatsApp if you hear of a change while still aboard.
Your driver waits curb-side right outside the cruise terminal and meets your group as you exit with your bags. Request a name sign over WhatsApp ahead of time and the driver holds it at the door, so you spot the car without searching. You walk straight from baggage to the vehicle.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the single flat price shown in the prices list above. Whether two or five travel in the SUV, the figure is the same. Pick the tier that fits your party size and the cost is set.
A round trip is double the one-way fare, booked together as one reservation. There is no separate return surcharge during daytime hours — you simply pay the one-way rate twice, and both pickups are scheduled at once. The same deposit-and-balance split covers the whole round trip.
Yes — the first child seat for a child under five is included free. Note it on WhatsApp when you book so the driver fits it before pickup. Need more than one seat? Each additional seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking, so flag every child traveling.
Yes — disembarkation day is exactly when this transfer runs. Give us your ship and arrival date and the driver is at the terminal as you come off. Morning debark traffic can lengthen the ride, but the fare stays locked, so a slow road never changes the price.
Pickups inside the daytime window of 7 AM to 9 PM carry no surcharge. Trips that begin outside those hours add a small after-hours fee, set by vehicle type.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
