From $100 per vehicle: a private one-way transfer from the Port of Miami to Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown.
Each price below is the flat total for the whole vehicle on a one-way trip, set the moment you book and left alone by traffic or the time of day you step off the ship.
Cruise ships berth on Dodge Island, and the driver waits curbside at the exact terminal your line uses. Tell us which cruise line you are sailing when you book, and the vehicle is staged at the correct hall before you reach the gangway. A meet-and-greet is part of every reservation, so someone is watching for your group rather than leaving you to hunt for a car.
Terminal pickups are timed to your real disembarkation, and about half an hour of complimentary waiting is built into the booking, which keeps a slow customs line from costing you the ride. Want to be met by name? A driver holding a placard with your name is a $20 add-on you can request when you reserve.
Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown sits in Downtown Miami, the district closest to the cruise terminals. Bayside Marketplace, Bayfront Park, and the downtown arena all stand within a few minutes of the property, while Museum Park and the Perez Art Museum Miami round out what is close by. If you are staying on after the sailing rather than moving straight to an airport, the spot puts the bayfront and downtown Miami within easy reach of Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown. Because the property sits so close to the terminals, the ride from the ship is short and direct, an easy first move before you settle into the area or carry on with your plans.
The route covers about 0.9 miles and usually takes 8 to 10 minutes along Port Boulevard, with causeway traffic the only thing that shifts the number. Because the trip is so short, the driver follows your ship’s real arrival with room to spare instead of a slot trimmed to the minute. That short distance is also why the fare stays flat no matter the hour — there is little road for traffic to add up on, so the estimate holds through most of the day.
The quoted price is one-way and held for your party alone — no shared seats and no second pickup along the way. Fuel, standard tolls, and a hand with the bags from curb to lobby all ride inside the fare. A 50% deposit holds your date at booking, and the balance is paid to the driver on the day of service.
Standard hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM. A pickup outside that window carries a small adjustment that depends on the vehicle:
It is per vehicle. The flat rate covers your whole group on the one-way run to Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown and never climbs with an extra passenger, as long as everyone fits the vehicle you choose.
The moment your group is through the hall with its bags. Self-assist walk-off passengers are often out first, and checked-luggage groups a little later. The half hour of free waiting means the pace of customs never decides whether the car is still there.
Yes. Every booking is private, so the SUV or van carries only your party from the pier to the hotel. There is no ride-pooling and no stop to collect strangers on the way into Downtown Miami.
The pickup shifts to match the ship’s real arrival at no extra cost. The port schedule is tracked, so a late berthing simply moves the meeting time rather than forcing you to rebook at the curb.
Yes. The first child seat for a young child rides at no charge, and any additional seat is $15 on a Port of Miami booking. Share the ages when you reserve so the right seat is fitted before the driver arrives.
Send your sail date, cruise line, party size, and any child-seat or name-sign request, and you will get back the locked per-vehicle price and a curbside meeting plan for your arrival at Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown. Message on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 to lock the vehicle for your date.
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.
Mi pareja y yo no queríamos el caos de taxis afuera de la terminal, así que reservamos un viaje privado a Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown antes de zarpar. Reservar fue simple, recibimos todo por escrito, y todo coincidió con lo prometido.
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and a comfortable ride over to Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown.
The little ones were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown in one piece.
No quería andar buscando un transporte la mañana en que bajé del barco, así que coordiné un auto privado del puerto a Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown. Sin pelear con una app — caminé de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. Ya guardé el contacto para mi próximo crucero desde PortMiami.
We got off the ship with the kids and a mountain of luggage, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown a breeze. The ride from the terminal to Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown was calm and comfortable, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
