From $115 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Miami Gardens Inn and Suites 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the terminal greeting included in the fare and a $20 name-sign option if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Miami Gardens Inn and Suites gives you a place to settle in the city’s arts-forward corner, close to the streets that make Wynwood and Midtown worth the trip. It is a straightforward hotel stay, the kind of base you want after a week at sea: a room of your own, a door you can walk right up to, and a neighborhood that rewards stepping outside. You are not far from the galleries, food halls, and painted walls that draw people to this part of Miami.
The setting is the real draw here. Wynwood Walls sits within easy reach, its open-air murals and rotating street art anchoring a district full of independent galleries and casual places to eat. A short move over puts you in the Miami Design District, where the storefronts lean toward design and fashion, and Midtown Miami rounds out the area with more shops and dining. NW 2nd Avenue threads through it all, an easy spine to follow on foot when you want to see the neighborhood at your own pace.
For anyone whose Miami stop is about art and atmosphere rather than the beach, this is a fitting address. You can spend a morning among the murals, break for lunch at a food hall, and drift into the Design District by afternoon without covering much ground. When your ride pulls up to the entrance and your bags come out, the neighborhood is already open around you. Details about the property itself live on Miami Gardens Inn and Suites’ own page; getting you here from the ship is the part we handle.
Plan on roughly 29 to 46 minutes from the terminal to the hotel door, depending on the hour and the traffic that morning. Disembarkation mornings pile up fast at the terminal exits, so your driver is staged before you clear the hall — the waiting is theirs, not yours. Clear the terminal, bring your bags to the curb, and step into a vehicle held for your group alone. From there it is one direct run to Miami Gardens Inn and Suites, with no stops added along the way.
Your chauffeur handles the luggage at both ends, loading it at the port and carrying it to the entrance when you arrive. The car is reserved for your party only and timed to your ship’s arrival, so the pickup is built around when you actually walk off. One flat fare, locked when you book, covers the whole trip to the door — nothing decided on the day but where to point you next.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
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.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
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.
Mi pareja y yo no queríamos el caos de taxis afuera de la terminal, así que reservamos un viaje privado a Miami Gardens Inn and Suites antes de zarpar. Reservar fue simple, recibimos todo por escrito, y todo coincidió con lo prometido.
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and a comfortable ride over to Miami Gardens Inn and Suites.
The little ones were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Miami Gardens Inn and Suites in one piece.
No quería andar buscando un transporte la mañana en que bajé del barco, así que coordiné un auto privado del puerto a Miami Gardens Inn and Suites. Sin pelear con una app — caminé de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. Ya guardé el contacto para mi próximo crucero desde PortMiami.
We got off the ship with the kids and a mountain of luggage, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Miami Gardens Inn and Suites a breeze. The ride from the terminal to Miami Gardens Inn and Suites was calm and comfortable, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
