From $145 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Palms Inn 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, a name-sign pickup adds $20, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Palms Inn sits at 1290 Federal Highway in Dania Beach, 33004, in the stretch where Dania Beach meets Hallandale near the county line. It makes an easy landing spot for travelers coming off a ship at the cruise terminals, close enough to the coast that the water is only a short move away once your bags are down. The address is a single, straightforward drop point, and your driver brings you right to the entrance rather than leaving you in a lot.
The surrounding area gives you plenty to fill an afternoon or an evening. Gulfstream Park, with its racing and shopping, is a short trip from the property, and the outlets at Dania Pointe are close by for anyone who wants to browse. The old-Florida side is here too: the Dania Beach Fishing Pier draws people out over the water, while Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park offers a quieter patch of coastline in the same corner of Hallandale and Dania Beach.
Because the property sits right along the coast, a beach afternoon is the natural next step after a cruise — drop your things at Palms Inn and walk toward the water. The location keeps you settled between the shore and the mainland roads, so a morning at Gulfstream Park, a look around Dania Pointe, and an evening by the pier all stay within a short drive. For a single night before a flight or a longer stay, the address keeps the beach, the outlets, and the racing park in the same manageable pocket of Hallandale and Dania Beach.
Your chauffeur meets you curbside at your ship’s own terminal once you have cleared disembarkation, not off in a parking lot. From there the route follows I-95 for the roughly 22-mile run north to Dania Beach, and your bags ride in the vehicle with you the whole way — carried from the terminal curb and set down again at the entrance to Palms Inn. The car is reserved for your group alone, door to door.
Plan on roughly 39 to 56 minutes from terminal to door, depending on the hour and how heavy the I-95 traffic runs. Since that highway is the one thing that shifts the timing, your pickup is set against when your ship truly docks, leaving comfortable margin instead of a rigid minute-by-minute slot. Send us your ship name and arrival date, and the driver positions the vehicle for the morning flow off the pier, keeping in contact by message as you head out.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
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.
The black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
Los niños estaban rendidos tras una semana en el mar cuando bajamos, y una van privada ahí en la terminal llevó a todos a Palms Inn de una pieza. El auto estaba limpio, fresco y cómodo, con el aire perfecto tras el barco.
Disembarking alone, I had a driver there with my name on a sign for the ride to Palms Inn — nothing left to chance. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so I never had to rush to gather the bags.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Palms Inn took all the stress out of it. An easy, smooth handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Palms Inn with nothing left to sort out. Getting to Palms Inn with no detours meant we could settle in without waiting around. Would book again for the next cruise.
We cruised as a group and wanted all of us and the bags in one private ride to Palms Inn after disembarking. We were dropped right at the front door of Palms Inn, not down the block. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — exactly right for the morning.
Coming ashore by myself, I had a driver waiting at the terminal for the ride to Palms Inn — nothing left to chance. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so I never had to rush to gather the bags.
