From $160 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Jm Marriott 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Jm Marriott Hotel places you in Coral Gables, one of the most distinctive corners of the Miami area. This is a district defined by boulevards of banyan trees and Spanish-style architecture, where the pace feels a step calmer than the beachfront yet everything worth seeing stays within easy reach. Arriving here after a cruise, you trade the crowded terminal exits for a quiet, tree-lined setting that makes for a gentle landing on dry ground.
The neighborhood keeps its landmarks close. Miracle Mile sits nearby with its run of restaurants, and the historic Biltmore Hotel anchors the heart of the district. If you have time to wander, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and the University of Miami are also close by in Coral Gables, giving you gardens, campus grounds, and walkable streets all within the same small radius. It is an easy base whether you are staying a night before flying home or building a longer visit around the port.
On arrival, the hotel’s lobby door is where your day slows down. Your driver brings you to that entrance, unloads the bags, and you step straight into the property without a taxi line or a scramble on the sidewalk. Because the ride is planned around your ship rather than around whatever is available in the moment, the drop-off lands at the hour you agreed on. From there the surrounding streets of Coral Gables, with their restaurants and shaded walks, are yours to explore at your own speed.
This is a terminal-to-door private transfer from Port of Miami to Jm Marriott Hotel, booked in advance at a flat rate. Your driver meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, timed to disembarkation, with half an hour of free waiting so the customs lines never cost you the ride. Luggage help is part of the service at both ends, so the bags go straight into the vehicle and you keep your hands free from pier to lobby.
From the pier it is one run of about 23.7 miles along SR-836 and Florida’s Turnpike Thru Lanes, ending at the door of the hotel. Plan on roughly 41 to 56 minutes depending on traffic and the hour, with disembarkation mornings running slower as the terminal exits fill. Your driver is staged before you clear the hall, so any waiting is theirs, not yours, and the vehicle is exclusively your group’s for the whole trip.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
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.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
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.
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.
Un grupo de nosotros bajamos del barco juntos y coordinamos una van privada del puerto a Jm Marriott Hotel. El conductor nos dejó directo frente a Jm Marriott Hotel, y no en una esquina con las maletas. Sin pelear con una app — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
We came off the ship worn out from a great week and a private car straight to Jm Marriott Hotel set the tone for the rest of the trip. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
We cruised as a group and wanted everyone and the luggage in one private ride to Jm Marriott Hotel after disembarking. There was a sign with our name at the curb, so we didn’t have to look around.
My husband and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to Jm Marriott Hotel before we even sailed. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to struggle with anything. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
Smooth transfer, fixed fare, no surprises from the terminal to Jm Marriott Hotel. Recommend it without hesitation.
