From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included; a name-sign welcome is available for an extra $20. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Mikosukee Hotel and Casino sits inside Miami’s MIA Airport District, the cluster of hotels and gaming floors that grew up around the airport corridor. By road it rests about 19.4 miles from the cruise terminals at the Port of Miami, close enough for a single, direct run once your ship ties up, yet far enough west that it feels a step removed from the downtown bustle you just sailed into. The property pairs guest rooms with a casino floor, so an arriving traveler steps off the water and into a place built to keep the day going.
The setting is pure Airport District convenience. The Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) runs alongside, and the Palmetto Expressway is nearby, which is what makes this pocket of Miami so easy to reach from the port and so easy to leave again when your plans move on. Fly in, sleep, and roll toward the ship the next morning, or dock first and settle into the casino — either order works from here.
Once you have dropped your bags, the neighborhood gives you somewhere to go. Guests here often make time for the Blue Lagoon, the wide water feature that gives the corridor its name, and for the Miami Springs Golf Course a short way off. Both sit within the same Airport District, so an afternoon ashore never asks much of you beyond a short hop. It is a practical, well-connected base for the stretch between a cruise and whatever comes next.
Your chauffeur is staged at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, timed to your disembarkation rather than a guessed clock. When you walk off, the driver loads your luggage at the terminal curb, and the bags ride inside the vehicle with your group — no shared van, no extra stops. From there the route takes SR-836, the Dolphin Expressway, so the roughly 19.4 miles to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino is one direct leg out to the MIA Airport District.
Expect about 34 to 48 minutes from the terminal curb to the hotel door, depending on traffic and the hour. Because customs lines can run long, every port pickup carries 30 minutes of free waiting, so a slow walk-off never costs you the ride. On the return, embarkation-day pickups happen at the hotel lobby at the agreed time, planned around your sailing schedule.
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.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
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.
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.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
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.
No port scramble — I walked off the ship and the car was waiting, then straight to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino. Would book again. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so I didn’t have to struggle with anything.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino took all the stress out of it. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — a relief after a week aboard. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
We cruised with a big crew and wanted all of us and the bags in one private ride to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino after disembarking. Booking was quick, we got a solid confirmation, and everything lined up perfectly. For a reliable way to get from the ship to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino, it was money well spent.
For a stress-free disembarkation, my partner and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino.
Just as easy as it sounded — met at the curb, luggage handled, and a comfortable ride over to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino. For a reliable way to get from the ship to Mikosukee Hotel and Casino, it was well worth it.
