From $100 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami Airport And Intermodal Area.
Each figure below is the full charge for the vehicle in one direction between the cruise terminals and the hotel — one flat number covering the whole group, never a per-seat rate and never lifted when the port gets busy.
Fuel, standard tolls, and help with the luggage are already inside those numbers, and the vehicle stays yours alone — never pooled with another party.
Cruise passengers are collected right at the terminal building on Dodge Island, curbside rather than in a distant parking deck. Share your ship line and berth when you book, and the driver is staged at the matching terminal before you finish clearing the baggage hall. A quick message goes back and forth as you walk out, so meeting up takes seconds. Drivers speak both Spanish and English and know the port’s terminals well. The meet-and-greet comes with every booking, and a driver holding a printed name sign can be added when you ask ahead of time. Thirty minutes of complimentary waiting is built into Port of Miami pickups, which absorbs the slow shuffle of a busy disembarkation morning.
The property sits in the MIA Airport District, the cluster of hotels wrapped around Miami International and the Blue Lagoon lake. Miami Springs Golf Course is close, the Dolphin Expressway — SR-836 — runs alongside, and NW 36th Street is a short distance off. The drop-off is the hotel entrance at 2601 NW 42nd Ave, with bags carried to the door beside you. Guests heading to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami Airport And Intermodal Area for a pre-flight night or a post-cruise stopover land in one of the handier corners of the county, a few minutes from the terminals and the rental-car center. The address also keeps arriving travelers within easy reach of Miami International for a next-day flight.
The hop covers roughly 7 miles and takes about 18 to 22 minutes, nearly all of it on SR-836 heading west out of the port. It is a one-way run — ship to hotel, no loops and no strangers sharing the seats. Once the group is loaded, the driver keeps to the expressway and pulls up at the front doors of Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami Airport And Intermodal Area.
A 50% deposit locks the date and holds the vehicle; the balance is handed to the driver on the day of travel. Every quoted fare is per vehicle for the entire group, and each one on this page is one-way. A round trip is simply the same rate again for the return — reserve both legs together and one driver covers the ride out and the ride back to the port.
A few extras sit outside the base fare, each priced plainly. A driver waiting with a printed name sign adds $20. A child safety seat is $15 — request it with the child’s age at booking so the correct seat is fitted. An added stop along the way runs $45 for every 30 minutes it takes. None of this appears as a surprise at the curb; anything you want is confirmed over WhatsApp before travel day.
Standard pickup hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM. A ship that clears outside that window is still fine — the SUV carries a small after-hours charge of $20 for stays inside Miami-Dade and Broward, rising to $50 for points beyond those two counties. Because Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami Airport And Intermodal Area sits well within Miami-Dade, the $20 figure is the one that would apply on an early or late run here.
As soon as everyone is through the terminal with their bags. Self-carry travelers often reach the curb within the first hour, while parties waiting on checked luggage take a little longer. The 30 minutes of included waiting means the pace of the customs line never costs you the ride.
No. The port’s arrival board is watched and the pickup is shifted to when the ship actually ties up, at no penalty and with no rebooking. The same rate and the same vehicle hold whether you dock on time or an hour late.
It is the price for the whole SUV, not per head. One $100 fare carries a group of up to five with luggage from the terminals to the hotel. Larger parties move up to a van at $140 or $180, again charged once for the vehicle.
Yes. An SUV seats up to five with their bags, the smaller van fits six to nine, and the larger van takes ten to fourteen. A single vehicle keeps the family together for the drive to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami Airport And Intermodal Area rather than splitting the group across cars.
To reserve, send your ship, terminal, travel date, passenger count, and any child-seat or name-sign request, and the pickup time and fare come back confirmed. Message on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Booking a day or more ahead gives the best shot at matching your exact disembarkation morning.
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.
Comfortable ride, easy pickup, and a driver who handled the terminal like a pro. Recommend. The car was spotless, a relief in the Miami heat.
