From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Casa Boutique Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the terminal greeting included in the fare and a $20 name-sign option if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Casa Boutique Hotel sits just across the water from the cruise terminals, reached by the MacArthur Causeway and SR A1A — the coastal road that carries you onto the barrier island where South Beach runs along the ocean. From the moment your ship clears the port, the hotel is a single short leg away, close enough that you trade the terminal crowds for the front desk well within the hour, bags and all.
The setting is the classic stretch of South Beach. Step out and the Art Deco district is right at hand — the pastel facades along Ocean Drive, the café tables of Española Way, and the wide pedestrian run of Lincoln Road, all packed into one walkable grid. Lummus Park and the sand sit at the coast, so the water is a short stroll rather than another drive, and the whole postcard version of the neighborhood is within reach of the door.
For a traveler stepping off a cruise, that closeness is the whole point. Drop your things at Casa Boutique Hotel and a beach afternoon becomes the obvious next move — walk to the water while the day is still yours, then circle back for dinner along Ocean Drive or Española Way. Anything about the stay itself, the rooms and the on-site details, lives on the hotel’s own page; our part is getting you and your luggage there directly, with the neighborhood already at your feet the moment you arrive.
Once your group clears the exit, your reserved SUV is staged at the terminal curb and the chauffeur handles the bags from cart to trunk. From there it is a single, direct leg to Casa Boutique Hotel — no stops, no transfers — out over the MacArthur Causeway and onto SR A1A, with your luggage locked in the vehicle the entire way and 30 minutes of courtesy wait built in so a slow disembarkation never costs you the ride.
Count on roughly 16 to 18 minutes terminal to door, covering about six miles, with the exact time shifting a little in weekend port traffic. The pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, so the causeway traffic is already priced into the plan. At the hotel entrance the chauffeur unloads every bag, and the same setup runs in reverse on the day you leave for the ship.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
Reserving a few days ahead is ideal, and in peak season (holidays, spring break, big cruise weekends) a week or more keeps your first-choice vehicle available. Requests inside 24 hours are welcome but depend on availability, and those bookings are non-refundable once confirmed.
We run on reservations rather than on-demand pickups. A same-day request may still work if a driver is free: message us on WhatsApp with the pickup time and we will confirm quickly. Keep in mind that a ride booked within 24 hours of pickup cannot be refunded.
No. A 50% deposit holds the vehicle when you book online, and the other half goes to your driver on the day of the ride, in cash or by card. If you prefer to settle everything at once, choose Pay in full at checkout.
Yes. After the deposit, the remaining half is paid directly to your driver when the ride is done, cash or card, whichever you prefer. There is nothing else to pay unless you added an extra service.
Cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the pickup. Inside that 24-hour window the ride is non-refundable, and no-shows are treated the same way. Booking details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can still be updated until 12 hours before pickup.
The pickup time and other details can be adjusted until 12 hours before the ride, subject to driver availability; write to us as soon as your plans change. The travel date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Payments run through Stripe over an encrypted checkout; we never see your card number. Card payments carry a 3% processing fee that is shown before you pay. Zelle is also accepted for the deposit with no fee: ask us on WhatsApp.
Not at all. Travelers reserve from all over the world, international cards are accepted at checkout, and we answer on WhatsApp and email in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Yes. Give us the flight number when you book and your driver tracks it in real time, so the pickup follows the actual landing rather than the scheduled one, at no extra cost.
Message us the moment you know. We reschedule around the new arrival whenever a driver is available; because that counts as a change to the booking, the cancellation terms above still apply if the ride cannot be rebooked.
Your driver meets you at the MIA arrivals level at the curb, and that meet-and-greet is included in the fare. If you would rather be greeted inside the terminal with a name sign, add the name-sign welcome for $20 when you book.
You receive the meeting instructions in advance, and the driver contacts you the day before the ride to confirm every detail. On landing, head to the agreed curb; connect to the airport Wi-Fi and message us on WhatsApp if anything is unclear.
The day before the ride we send the driver’s name and phone number, and the vehicle details you need to spot the car. Vehicle photos on the site show the category booked; the exact model can vary.
Call or WhatsApp us at +1 (786) 682-8748 and we connect you right away. The pickup is always coordinated at the confirmed spot, and the courtesy waiting time keeps running from your landing or your scheduled pickup.
At the airport we wait up to 60 minutes after landing on domestic flights and up to 2 hours on international arrivals; at hotels, homes and the cruise port the courtesy wait is 15 minutes. Beyond that, waiting is billed like an extra stop, $45 per 30 minutes.
The distance and the usual driving time for this exact route are listed on this page. Real timing depends on traffic and the hour, which is why the driver plans the pickup around your actual landing or ship arrival rather than a fixed clock time.
Yes. Your driver loads and unloads every bag at the curb. Drivers do not go inside the hotel or terminal to collect luggage, so have it with you at the meeting point.
Each passenger can bring one large suitcase plus one carry-on. The black SUV carries up to 5 passengers as long as passengers plus large suitcases total 10 or fewer; larger groups or extra bags move to a van. Surfboards, bikes or many extra cases need a custom setup, so tell us before booking.
Yes. Add them when you book: a child seat for babies and toddlers up to about 3 years, or a booster for ages 3 to 5. Each seat is $20 and is fitted before the driver leaves for the pickup.
Planned stops are fine when you add them at booking, priced at $45 per 30 minutes with a 30-minute minimum, then $1.50 per extra minute. Unplanned detours on the day are not part of the fare.
Never. Every transfer is private: the vehicle carries only your group, door to door, with no other pickups and no waiting for strangers.
A black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a van for 6 to 9 and a larger van for 10 to 14. The fare table on this page shows the price for each. For groups above 14 we arrange several vehicles or a minibus on a custom quote.
No. We pick up and drop off at Miami International Airport, PortMiami and the other cruise terminals, hotels, private homes, offices and event venues across South Florida and beyond.
Yes. Wedding parties, corporate groups and private events get a tailored quote with the right mix of vehicles; message us with the date, head count and schedule.
Between 9 PM and 7 AM the black SUV adds a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 farther out. The fee is shown in the quote before you book, and daytime rides carry no surcharge.
The fare shown is for the exact route named on this page. For a different pickup or drop-off address, use the ride search on this site: it prices the real road distance instantly and lets you book on the spot.
The fare includes the driver, fuel and tolls, with no hidden fees. Only optional items add to it: the 3% card fee, a name-sign welcome, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Our crew rode together straight from the port to Casa Boutique Hotel, and it was so easy. The ride from the terminal to Casa Boutique Hotel was smooth and steady, and we could just watch the city go by.
After a long week at sea, having the ride already handled to Casa Boutique Hotel was worth every bit. We had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was no guessing at the port.
No íbamos a hacer malabares con niños y maletas buscando transporte en el puerto, así que coordinamos una van privada a Casa Boutique Hotel. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin nadie a quien esperar — justo lo indicado para esa mañana. Había una ventana de cortesía desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para bajar del barco.
Descendo do navio por conta própria, eu tinha um motorista com o meu nome numa placa para a viagem até Casa Boutique Hotel — sem nada deixado ao acaso. A tarifa estava fechada na reserva, sem nada a mais no meio-fio.
Clean car, no waiting around, and a driver who knew exactly where to go. Would book again. The van was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, and there was space for everything.
