From $105 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, a name-sign pickup adds $20, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza puts you in the heart of Coral Gables, one of Miami’s most walkable and architecturally distinct neighborhoods. This is apartment-style suite living rather than a standard hotel room, which suits travelers coming off a cruise who want space to unpack, spread out, and settle in for a few days. You arrive to a residential-feeling base with the city’s boulevards of banyan trees and Spanish-style buildings right outside the door.
The location is the real draw. Miracle Mile, with its restaurants and shops, sits within easy reach, and the historic Biltmore Hotel is a short hop away for a meal or a walk of the grounds. Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and the University of Miami are both close by, giving you green space and a campus district to explore without needing to cross town. Everything that defines Coral Gables — the tree-lined streets, the low-rise elegance, the mix of quiet and dining — is on your doorstep.
Because Coral Gables is central to so much of greater Miami, the suite works well as a launch point. South Beach, Downtown, Coconut Grove, Brickell, the murals of Wynwood, and the cafés of Little Havana are all reachable when you want to venture out, and shopping at Dolphin Mall or Lincoln Road is an easy day. After the pace of a cruise, having a calm, spacious home base in a handsome neighborhood makes the transition back to land feel unhurried and comfortable.
This is a door-to-door private transfer straight from your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island to Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza. Book before you dock and disembarkation becomes the simple part: your driver is staged and waiting before you clear the terminal hall, so the wait is theirs rather than yours. There are no stops and no strangers sharing the vehicle — one group, one run, with full luggage assistance loaded at the pier and unloaded at the door.
From the port it is a single stretch along US-1 and Southwest 22nd Street, roughly 7.6 miles into Coral Gables. Plan on about 25 to 28 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and traffic. Cruise mornings stack up fast at the exits, so a fixed pickup and a fare locked at booking keep the arrival predictable. Your bags stay in the vehicle the whole way, and your chauffeur handles the route while you take in the city.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
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.
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 black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
Yes for the details: add a passenger, a child seat or a note up to 12 hours before the pickup time. No for the date, which stays as booked.
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.
After a week at sea I only wanted the ride handled, so a private car from the port to Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza was exactly right. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
The two of us arranged a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t hunt for a ride getting over to Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza. The ride from the terminal to Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza was quiet and relaxed, and we could just settle in.
There were six of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza was far simpler than splitting into cars. We were dropped at the entrance of Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza, not across the street. We went from the terminal to a real bed with nothing to worry about in between.
We got off the ship with the little ones worn out after the cruise, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza so easy.
Everything ran on time from the port to the front door of Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza — couldn’t ask for more.
