From $125 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels sits in Hollywood, the coastal town that falls about halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. It keeps a relaxed, small-shore feeling rather than a big-city one, which is part of why cruise travelers pick it for the stretch of time on either side of their sailing. The property puts the shoreline within a few steps, so the ocean is a genuinely short walk from the room rather than a drive away.
That closeness changes how the first day plays out. Plenty of guests come straight off the ship, drop their bags, and are standing on real sand the same afternoon, trading the pool deck for open water without much of a pause. The address works for a single overnight before embarkation just as well as for a longer stay, because the water and the room are effectively the same stop.
Step past the hotel and Hollywood gives you a compact set of things to do on foot or a short hop away. The Broadwalk runs along the beach for strolling, cycling, and a slow dinner with the water in view. ArtsPark anchors the downtown side with green space and events, and the Seminole Hard Rock casino sits nearby for an evening out. It is enough to fill the hours around a cruise without ever feeling like you have to reach for the car, and it stays easygoing even on a busy weekend.
This is a door-to-door run from the Port of Miami to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels, one straight leg up I-95 covering about 22.9 miles. Terminal curb to hotel door usually lands between 44 and 60 minutes, depending on the hour and the traffic. Your driver is already staged at your ship’s own terminal when you walk off, so there is no line to join and no car to track down after disembarkation.
Every bag rides in your vehicle with you, loaded at the pier and carried again at the hotel, and the car is reserved for your group alone. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest window, with thousands of passengers coming off the ships at once, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation and the expected I-95 traffic is already built into the plan.
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.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
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.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
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.
We didn’t want to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels. The fare was locked in at booking, nothing added at the curb. The kids were done after a week at sea, and getting straight to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels without a scramble at the port was exactly what we needed.
The kids were half asleep when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels before anyone lost it. The ride from the terminal to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels was smooth and steady, and we could just unwind after the cruise. We went from the ship to the front desk of Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels with zero hassle along the way.
Mi pareja y yo bajamos por la pasarela en PortMiami y había un auto privado esperando en la acera de la terminal para llevarnos a Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — el puerto quedó totalmente resuelto. La noche anterior recibimos un texto con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no hubo que adivinar en la acera al salir.
No taxi line — we walked off the ship and a clean, private car was right there, then straight to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels. Highly recommend. The SUV was fresh and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
Our family of four came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded every cruise bag for the ride to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels. The ride from the terminal to Paradise Hollywood Beach Hotels was calm and comfortable, and we could just watch the city go by. The child seat was ready when we got in, which was one less thing to worry about. Highly recommend.
