From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to OYO Hotel Coral Gables in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
OYO Hotel Coral Gables puts you in Coral Gables, one of Miami’s most distinctive districts. This is a part of the city defined by wide boulevards lined with banyan trees and Spanish-style architecture, quieter and more residential than the areas around the port. For a group stepping off a ship, it makes a calm place to land — close enough to the water to feel connected, but set apart from the noise and crowds of downtown.
The hotel sits about 8.1 miles by road from Port of Miami, an easy run of roughly 23 to 27 minutes depending on the hour. That keeps you near the coast without placing you in the middle of the busiest streets. Miracle Mile, the restaurant-lined center of the district, is close by, and the historic Biltmore Hotel anchors the neighborhood a short distance away. Coral Gables rewards travelers who like to walk, with plenty to see on foot.
If you decide to stay on after the cruise, the surroundings give you room to explore. The Venetian Pool and the University of Miami are both within Coral Gables, adding to the mix of history, greenery, and good food already at hand. Our transfers reach every address in Coral Gables, so no matter where your plans take you across the district, we can carry your group there directly, with your luggage riding along and nothing left to arrange on the day.
Once your group clears the terminal exit at Port of Miami, your chauffeur is already staged at the curb — the wait is theirs, not yours. Bags are loaded straight into the vehicle, and you head out as one group in a car reserved for you alone. The route runs along SR-836 and Northwest 42nd Avenue, covering the 8.1 miles to the door of OYO Hotel Coral Gables in about 23 to 27 minutes, traffic depending.
The pickup is timed to your ship’s arrival, so no one is standing around after a long morning of disembarkation. On embarkation day the trip runs the same way in reverse: the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance, handles the luggage, and drives you to the terminal on a schedule built around your sailing. Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat fare.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
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.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
We came off the ship tired but happy and a driver already waiting to take us to OYO Hotel Coral Gables was exactly right. The driver handled the suitcases so we didn’t have to struggle with anything. Getting to OYO Hotel Coral Gables with no detours meant we could drop the bags and start the day.
Nuestro grupo entero reservó una van directo de la terminal a OYO Hotel Coral Gables, y nadie tuvo que preocuparse por nada. El viaje de la terminal a OYO Hotel Coral Gables fue fácil todo el camino, y pudimos acomodarnos y nada más.
For a stress-free morning off the ship, my wife and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to OYO Hotel Coral Gables. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
My wife and I weren’t up for the chaos outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to OYO Hotel Coral Gables before we even sailed. There was a sign with our name at the exit, so we knew right where to go. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship.
My husband and I had a great sailing and followed it with a private car ready at the curb to take us to OYO Hotel Coral Gables — not one worry at the terminal. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to lift a thing. We went from the ship to the front desk of OYO Hotel Coral Gables with nothing to worry about in between.
