From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Fashion Boutique Hotel 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.
Fashion Boutique Hotel is a South Beach address, the kind of stay cruisers pick for the night before or after a sailing. It sits within an easy causeway hop of PortMiami, close enough that the run from the pier is a single straight leg, yet planted in the heart of the neighborhood where most of the walking-around happens. Step out the door and the barrier-island grid of South Beach is right there to explore on foot.
The setting does the heavy lifting. Lincoln Road Mall and the Art Deco Historic District both sit within easy reach of the hotel, so an afternoon of shopping or a slow look at the pastel facades never means a long trek. Española Way and the New World Center are nearby in South Beach as well, which puts a pedestrian dining lane and a marquee concert hall on the short list of places you can reach without a second ride. Ocean Drive and its people-watching round out the immediate surroundings.
That mix is exactly why so many sailings begin and end here. You arrive from the terminal, drop the bags, and the rest of South Beach — Art Deco hotels, the shops along Lincoln Road, the cafes and the ocean a few blocks over — opens up on your own schedule. If you are stretching the trip into extra days, the hotel’s position means you spend those days in the middle of things rather than commuting to them, whether the plan is a quiet morning or a full day out before the ship calls you back.
Book before you dock and disembarkation turns into the simple part. Your reserved SUV or van waits at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, the chauffeur handles the luggage, and the group loads once and rides together. From the pier it is one run along SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway — about 5.3 miles — ending at the door of Fashion Boutique Hotel, with no stops in between.
Plan on roughly 14 to 16 minutes terminal to door, light traffic to heavy. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, with thousands of passengers walking off at once, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation and the causeway traffic is already built into the plan. The bags stay in the vehicle the whole way, the chauffeur is bilingual in Spanish and English, and the flat fare is locked at booking so nothing changes on the day.
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.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. A child seat is fitted on request for $15. Extra stops along the way are $45 per 30 minutes.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
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.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
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 family of six came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded every cruise bag for the ride to Fashion Boutique Hotel. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. The kids crashed in the car, and getting straight to Fashion Boutique Hotel without a scramble at the port was perfect.
After our sailing, my partner and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we pre-booked a private car to Fashion Boutique Hotel. Getting to Fashion Boutique Hotel first thing meant we could drop the bags and start the day.
Mi pareja y yo tuvimos una travesía genial y lo cerramos con un auto privado esperando en la terminal para llevarnos a Fashion Boutique Hotel — sin líos en el puerto.
My husband and I had a great sailing and followed it with a private car waiting right at the terminal to take us to Fashion Boutique Hotel — not one worry at the terminal. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Fashion Boutique Hotel, it was money well spent. The fare was fixed when we booked, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning.
We got off the ship with the little ones ready for a nap, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Fashion Boutique Hotel a breeze. The child seat was set up before we even walked out, which was a real help that morning. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — exactly right for the morning.
