From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Leows Hotel – Miami South Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Leows Hotel – Miami South Beach sits in the heart of South Beach, the stretch of Miami that so many cruise travelers make their base. It is only a short causeway hop from the cruise terminals, close enough that the ride from your ship stays one direct leg rather than a long haul across the city. For plenty of guests this is where the trip begins, a place to settle in the evening before boarding, and for others it is the first real stop once the ship has let everyone off.
Step outside and the best-known corners of South Beach are within easy reach. Lincoln Road Mall, with its open-air walk of shops and cafes, is close by, and the Art Deco Historic District wraps the neighborhood in its pastel storefronts and low, curved buildings. Española Way, the narrow lane lined with color, sits nearby as well, and the New World Center rounds out a pocket of South Beach that rewards travelers who like to explore on foot rather than by car.
The draw is simple. South Beach is where a great many cruisers choose to spend the night before they sail, trading a rushed morning across town for a calm walk to the terminal transfer. Ocean Drive and its steady stream of people-watching are part of the scene, the shopping along Lincoln Road is a few minutes away, and the whole neighborhood stays a quick causeway ride from the port. Leows Hotel – Miami South Beach puts you in the middle of all of it, so the time between your ship and your stay is short and the days around it are easy to fill.
This is a door-to-door private ride from your cruise terminal straight to Leows Hotel – Miami South Beach. Your chauffeur is staged at the port before you finish clearing the arrivals hall, so the wait belongs to the driver, not to you. Bags go into your own vehicle at the terminal curb, and your group rides alone for the whole trip.
From the port the route runs along SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway, roughly 6.2 miles that usually takes 20 to 22 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. There is no shuttle line to join and no luggage to drag across the port. You clear the terminal, load the bags, and take one direct ride to the front of your stay in South Beach.
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.
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.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
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.
The two of us arranged a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t hunt for a ride getting over to Leows Hotel – Miami South Beach. For a reliable way to get from the ship to Leows Hotel – Miami South Beach, it was money well spent.
My wife and I finished a wonderful cruise and capped it off with a private car ready at the curb to take us to Leows Hotel – Miami South Beach — no fuss at the port. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship. We’ve already saved them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
My partner and I finished a wonderful cruise and followed it with a private car ready at the curb to take us to Leows Hotel – Miami South Beach — no fuss at the port.
Clean car, easy pickup, and a driver who knew exactly where to go. Would book again. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags.
Bajamos del barco con los pequeños agotados del crucero, y una van privada ahí en la terminal hizo el viaje a Leows Hotel – Miami South Beach muy fácil. El conductor nos dejó en la entrada de Leows Hotel – Miami South Beach, y no a media cuadra. Reservar fue rápido, recibimos todo por escrito, y todo salió tal cual.
