From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Miami Princess Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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 Princess Hotel sits in the MIA Airport District, the cluster of hotels and office parks that spreads around Blue Lagoon just west of downtown. This is a corner of the city built for travel days, with hotel rows along NW 36th Street, business parks lining the lakes, and expressways reaching out in every direction. For anyone stepping off a ship with a flight to catch or a night in Miami before the next leg, the setting keeps the airport and the main highways close at hand.
Arriving guests find a property geared toward people in motion. The front desk handles the practical side of a transit stop, with luggage holds for the hours between a morning disembarkation and an evening flight, and early check-in when a room is ready ahead of the usual time. The full picture of amenities, storage, and check-in windows lives on the hotel’s own page, so the details can be firmed up before the cruise even ends.
The surrounding district is quiet and functional rather than touristy, which suits a stopover well. Restaurants and everyday services sit within the airport corridor, the lagoon lends the area a bit of open water and green, and the highway ramps that make the neighborhood so convenient also make it easy to reach straight from the port. Your ride ends at the hotel entrance itself, bags carried to the door, so the last stretch of arrival day is one short drive rather than a scramble across the city.
The trip begins at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock. Once your group and every bag are aboard, the driver follows SR-836 for the short run west toward the MIA Airport District, normally 17 to 21 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. There is no second stop and no detour along the way, just one direct trip from the cruise terminal to the door of Miami Princess Hotel.
Your chauffeur waits for you at the terminal, so there is no line to join once you clear the pier. Luggage stays in the vehicle the whole way and comes out at the hotel entrance, carried to the door beside you. Because the pickup is matched to your ship’s arrival, the plan already accounts for the busy port mornings when several ships empty at once.
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.
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.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. A child seat is fitted on request for $15. Extra stops along the way are $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.
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.
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.
A few friends and I came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the port to Miami Princess Hotel. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. There was plenty of room for the whole group and everyone’s bags in one van to Miami Princess Hotel.
Our crew rode together straight from the terminal to Miami Princess Hotel, and nobody had to think about a thing.
We got off the ship with the little ones ready for a nap, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Miami Princess Hotel a breeze. The SUV was clean, cool, and comfortable, and there was space for everything. We were dropped at the entrance of Miami Princess Hotel, not across the street.
Mi esposa y yo no estábamos para líos afuera de la terminal, así que coordinamos un viaje privado a Miami Princess Hotel antes de zarpar. El viaje de la terminal a Miami Princess Hotel fue fácil todo el camino, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and an easy ride over to Miami Princess Hotel. No lot to comb through — we just went straight from the curb into the car.
