From $125 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Design Suites Hollywood Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside meet-and-greet costs nothing extra; the inside name-sign welcome adds $20.
Design Suites Hollywood Beach sits in Hollywood, the beach town that falls roughly halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. It keeps an easy, unhurried rhythm that feels a world apart from the pace of a cruise-morning terminal, and it puts you within reach of the Atlantic without the crowds of the bigger cities on either side. For a traveler coming straight off a ship, that mix of quiet and coastline is the appeal.
The best part of staying here is how close the water is. The shoreline sits just steps from the door, and plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk runs along the ocean nearby, a flat oceanfront path made for slow walks, a coffee, or an early swim before you have fully unpacked. It is the kind of place where the transition from cruise to vacation happens on its own.
There is more within easy reach when you want it. ArtsPark at Young Circle gives you green space and events a short way inland, while the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and West Lake Park round out the options for evenings and outdoor days in Hollywood. You can lean into the beach-town calm or head out for something livelier, and both are close at hand. Whatever your days here look like, Design Suites puts the shoreline first and keeps the rest of Hollywood a short trip away.
This is a terminal-to-door private transfer. Your driver is coordinated by message as your group walks off the ship and meets you at the curb of your own terminal on Dodge Island, not out in a parking lot. Your luggage goes straight into the vehicle with full assistance at both ends, and from there it is one direct run for your group only. Tell us your cruise line ahead of time and we stage at the correct terminal so there is no hunting for the car once you clear the hall.
From the pier it is a single trip up along I-95 to the door of Design Suites Hollywood Beach, about 20 miles in all. Plan on roughly 43 to 59 minutes terminal to door depending on traffic, which is the only real variable on this route. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, the drive stays calm and unrushed from the curb to the coast.
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.
A 50% deposit reserves the ride online; the balance is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
Late is fine: the SUV night fee is $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 outside them for pickups between 9 PM and 7 AM. A stop on the route runs $45 per 30 minutes, and a child seat is $15.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
Clean car, no waiting around, and a driver who knew exactly where to go. Recommend.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to Design Suites Hollywood Beach. The van was spotless, a relief in the Miami heat. We’ve already saved them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
The group of us walked off together and it was a relief to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Design Suites Hollywood Beach — nobody splitting up. No scramble at the port — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there.
Tras el crucero, mi esposo y yo no íbamos a jugárnosla con un transporte en la terminal, así que coordinamos un auto privado a Design Suites Hollywood Beach. Para llegar del barco a Design Suites Hollywood Beach de forma confiable, valió mucho la pena. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin paradas ajenas — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos.
Esperando en la acera apenas salimos, y un trayecto tranquilo hasta Design Suites Hollywood Beach.
