From $125 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hollywood Sands Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included; a name-sign welcome is available for an extra $20. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Hollywood Sands Resort is a Hollywood stay set between the ocean and the city’s easygoing downtown, a quick place to settle in for travelers stepping off a cruise. The property puts the coast on one side and Hollywood’s cultural core on the other, so a walk to the water or an evening out both start from the same doorstep.
Out front, the draw is the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk — a brick path stretching roughly two and a half miles beside the sand, made for slow strolls, bikes, and a coffee with the surf in view. Inland, the mood turns local at ArtsPark at Young Circle, the low-key heart of downtown Hollywood, where the green space and small-town feel offer a calmer counterpoint to the beach.
There is more within easy reach when you want it. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, marked by its guitar-shaped tower, sits inland for a night with a little more shine, while West Lake Park adds an outdoor option nearby in Hollywood. It adds up to a base that works whether your days lean toward the water, the walkable downtown, or a mix of both — a practical place to land after a sailing, close to what makes Hollywood worth the stop.
The ride begins the moment your group clears the terminal exit. Rather than send you hunting through a parking lot, the driver is staged at your ship’s own curb, tracking the actual arrival so the car is ready when you walk off — with a half-hour of courtesy wait built in while the group gathers and finds the door.
From there it is one direct run to the resort, bags loaded and riding with you the whole way, the vehicle held for your party alone. Plan on roughly 45 to 60 minutes from the terminal curb to the hotel door, with traffic the only real variable. The chauffeur carries the luggage to the entrance, so the trip ends right where you’re staying rather than at a drop point down the block.
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.
A 50% deposit reserves the ride online; the balance is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
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.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
The kids were done after a week at sea when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to Hollywood Sands Resort before anyone lost it. We were dropped at the entrance of Hollywood Sands Resort, not down the block. No line to stand in — we just went straight from the curb into the car.
Não queria me arriscar com um transporte na manhã em que desembarquei, então combinei um carro privativo do porto até Hollywood Sands Resort. O motorista cuidou das malas para eu não precisar batalhar com tudo. Fui do navio à recepção de Hollywood Sands Resort sem nada com que me preocupar no meio.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car meet us at the terminal for the ride over to Hollywood Sands Resort took all the stress out of it. We knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was no guessing at the port. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal.
Viajando con los pequeños, reservamos una van privada para que nos esperara en la terminal de cruceros y llevara a todos hasta Hollywood Sands Resort. La sillita para el niño estaba lista cuando subimos, lo que fue una gran ayuda esa mañana.
Traveling with our little ones, we arranged a private van to meet us at the cruise terminal and take everyone over to Hollywood Sands Resort. We had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal. The van was clean, cool, and comfortable, and there was space for everything.
