From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Holiday Inn Miami Beach-Oceanfront 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.
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.
Holiday Inn Miami Beach-Oceanfront sits at 4333 Collins Avenue in the 33140 zip, planting your stay directly on the Mid-Beach coast. This is the part of the island where the sand runs wide and the towers of resort row line the water, so stepping out of the lobby puts the ocean within a short walk. After days at sea, arriving to a room this close to the beach means the transition from ship to shore is a gentle one.
The location does a lot of the work. Collins Avenue runs right past the door, and the Miami Beach Boardwalk stretches along the shoreline the full length of Mid-Beach, giving you a flat, breezy path for a morning stroll or an evening walk after dinner. Indian Creek sits just inland, and the Bass Museum of Art is close by for a change of pace from the water. The Faena District, with its arts scene tucked between the high-rises, adds another reason to wander up the avenue on foot.
Because the property is oceanfront, a beach afternoon is the natural next move once the cruise ends. Drop the bags with the front desk, change, and you are on the sand in minutes rather than driving anywhere for it. The hotel handles the practical side of a stay here, from luggage holds to the usual arrival questions, so you can point yourself at the water and let the day open up. It is a straightforward, coast-hugging base for the Miami Beach stretch of your trip.
The trip from PortMiami to Holiday Inn Miami Beach-Oceanfront covers roughly 9 miles and takes about 23 to 25 minutes, depending on traffic and the hour. Your chauffeur follows the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 across to Mid-Beach, with your whole group riding together in one vehicle and every bag loaded inside — nothing strapped to a roof, nothing left behind. From the ship, it is a single, direct run to the hotel entrance.
On disembarkation mornings the terminal exits stack up fast, so your driver is staged and waiting before you clear the hall. That means the wait belongs to them, not to you, and a courtesy window covers the customs lines so a slow queue never costs you the ride. When you walk out, the car is there, the luggage goes in, and you are pointed toward Collins Avenue with help at the curb on both ends.
Booking the ride in advance locks the price and the vehicle size, puts a driver on your arrival time, and turns the first leg of the trip into the easiest one. The group stays together and the luggage rides with you.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
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.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
My husband and I finished a wonderful cruise and followed it with a private car ready at the curb to take us to Holiday Inn Miami Beach-Oceanfront — no fuss at the port. Booking was easy, we got clear pickup details, and everything lined up perfectly. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags.
Minha esposa e eu queríamos uma passagem limpa na saída do terminal, então reservamos uma viagem privativa até Holiday Inn Miami Beach-Oceanfront antes mesmo de zarpar. Sinceramente a parte mais fácil da viagem — do navio até a porta do hotel sem estresse. A última coisa que se quer depois de uma semana no mar é uma viagem que não acontece, e esta foi bem na hora que precisamos. Obrigado pela passagem tão tranquila!
As a solo cruiser I arranged a private transfer from the terminal to Holiday Inn Miami Beach-Oceanfront for disembarkation morning, and it could not have been easier. I had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was no guessing at the port. Booking was easy, I got a solid confirmation, and everything lined up perfectly. Would book again for the next cruise.
No quería jugármela con un transporte la mañana en que desembarqué, así que reservé un auto privado de la terminal a Holiday Inn Miami Beach-Oceanfront. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue totalmente sólido. Había un cartel con mi nombre en la salida, así que ubiqué al conductor sin buscar nada. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
Los dos reservamos un traslado privado para después del crucero y así no tener que buscar transporte camino a Holiday Inn Miami Beach-Oceanfront.
