From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Indian Creek Hotel 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.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The meet-and-greet there is included in the fare; a name-sign welcome is a $20 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Indian Creek Hotel sits in Mid-Beach, about 7.4 miles by road from the Port of Miami cruise terminals. It is a small, low-key address on the quieter side of the island, close to the water yet a short reach from the resort towers and the arts scene that give this stretch of Miami Beach its character. For a group stepping off a ship, it makes a calm base — the pace here is gentler than the crowds farther south.
The setting is what draws people. Mid-Beach runs up Collins Avenue through resort row, and the oceanfront boardwalk stretches its full length, so morning walks and beach time are steps away. The Faena District adds an arts scene between the towers, the Bass Museum of Art is close by, and Indian Creek itself threads through the neighborhood. Guests often fit in the Miami Beach Boardwalk and the Faena District once they land ashore, then circle back to the hotel between outings.
On arrival, your chauffeur brings you to the entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you, so there is no wrestling luggage across the sidewalk. Because the neighborhood is compact, the door drop is direct — the car pulls up, the group steps out, and the hotel is right there. Whatever you have planned for the days ahead, from the beach to the Bass Museum to a stroll along Collins Avenue, Indian Creek Hotel puts you within easy reach of it, with the water on one side and Mid-Beach’s resort row on the other.
Once your group clears the exit, the car is staged for the terminal curb, so you walk out and it is waiting. Pickup happens at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, with 30 minutes of courtesy wait built in to absorb customs and the luggage hall — the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival rather than a slot cut to the minute. Your driver loads every bag, from the terminal curb into the vehicle, and the ride is yours alone from start to finish.
From the port, the chauffeur follows SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway for the 7.4-mile hop into Mid-Beach, usually 24 to 26 minutes terminal to door depending on traffic and the hour. Traffic on those two roads is the only real variable, which is why the pickup is planned around your arrival with room to spare. At the end, the group is dropped at the entrance and the bags come to the curb beside you.
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.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. A child seat is $15 on request, and any added stop is $45 per 30 minutes.
The black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
Traveling with the whole family, we arranged a private van to meet us at the cruise terminal and take everyone over to Indian Creek Hotel. We knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
We reserved one van for the whole group from the terminal to Indian Creek Hotel so we all checked in together. No app to fight with — we just went straight from the curb into the car.
My wife and I had a great sailing and followed it with a private car waiting right at the terminal to take us to Indian Creek Hotel — not one worry at the terminal. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
We got off the ship with the kids ready for a nap, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Indian Creek Hotel a breeze. We were dropped right at the front door of Indian Creek Hotel, not on a corner with the bags. The fare was set up front, nothing added at the curb.
Cruising with the family, we didn’t want any disembarkation-day chaos, so a private van waiting at the terminal Indian Creek Hotel was worth every bit. We’ve already saved them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
