From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Jefferson Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
The Jefferson Hotel is your booked home base in Miami, and this ride is built to deliver you straight to its front door after you step off the ship. It sits within easy reach of the city, close to the water and the streets that make the trip worth taking, so settling in becomes the simple part of the day. Because the transfer is private, the drop-off happens at the hotel entrance on your own schedule, not at a rank somewhere down the block.
Walking in fresh off a cruise, you want the last leg to be the easy one. Your chauffeur carries the bags to the lobby, so you arrive with hands free and the check-in desk only a few steps away. Whether you land in the morning with hours to spare or roll up in the evening ready to wind down, the vehicle is yours alone from the terminal curb to this door.
Once the luggage is dropped, the city opens up. Guests staying here often set out for Wynwood’s murals and the cafes of Little Havana, or point the day toward South Beach, Downtown, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, and Brickell. Ask about a private hourly tour from the port and your bags ride along, stored in the vehicle, so an early arrival or a late flight becomes time spent seeing Miami rather than waiting on it.
The ride begins right at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur is waiting, timed to your actual disembarkation, with free wait time built in, so a slow customs line never costs you the car. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the curb, with no dragging them across the lot, and the door closes on one direct run to the Jefferson Hotel.
From there it is a single clean leg to the hotel entrance. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, so there are no shared stops and no detours to collect anyone else. Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat rate, which means nothing is tacked on when you arrive. The chauffeur simply hands your luggage over at the lobby door, and the day is yours.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
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.
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.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
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.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
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, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
De crucero con los niños, no queríamos caos el día del desembarque, así que una van privada directo hasta Jefferson Hotel nos hizo el día. Había una ventana de cortesía desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para bajar del barco. Sin caos en el puerto — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
As a solo cruiser I pre-booked a private transfer from PortMiami to Jefferson Hotel for disembarkation morning, and it was the best call of the trip. I’ve already saved them for my next cruise out of PortMiami. It was a private car just for me — no one else’s stops — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
No íbamos a batallar con los pequeños y el equipaje buscando transporte en el puerto, así que coordinamos una van privada a Jefferson Hotel. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — el puerto quedó totalmente resuelto. Para llegar del barco a Jefferson Hotel de forma confiable, valió mucho la pena.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Jefferson Hotel. Getting to Jefferson Hotel straight from the terminal meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
Nuestro grupo bajamos del barco juntos y coordinamos una van privada del puerto a Jefferson Hotel. La tarifa estaba cerrada al reservar, sin nada extra en la acera. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no había duda de cuál era el auto al salir. Muy recomendable.
