From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Pineapple Beach Resort 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.
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 curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Pineapple Beach Resort sits about 5.6 miles by road from the Port of Miami cruise terminals, over in the South Beach part of town. That puts your stay a short, direct run from the ship, in one of the most walkable pockets of the city. Once the bags are settled, the neighborhood does the rest of the work for you.
Step outside and the classic Miami Beach postcard is right there in one grid. Lummus Park lays its wide sand along the water, and Ocean Drive runs behind it with the pastel Art Deco facades the district is known for. Española Way is a few blocks over with its narrow, cafe-lined lane, and Lincoln Road gathers the shops and open-air tables into a single strolling stretch. The New World Center is close by too, so an evening out never asks for much of a walk. Everything sits close enough that you can leave the car behind and cover the area on foot.
At the resort itself, your driver pulls up to the main entrance so there is no wandering the block looking for a curb. Your chauffeur handles every bag from the vehicle to the lobby, which matters most on the first day when you are still finding your footing after the cruise. From here South Beach opens up in every direction, and the resort makes an easy base for the days that follow, whether you plan to stay near the sand or roam the wider grid.
The trip normally runs 15 to 17 minutes for the roughly 5.6-mile route, taking the MacArthur Causeway and SR A1A straight from the terminal to Pineapple Beach Resort with no stops in between. Your chauffeur meets you at the terminal curb, loads the bags, and keeps the whole party together for a single, direct leg. The pickup is coordinated by message as you walk off the ship, so the timing follows your actual disembarkation rather than a guess.
An included 30-minute wait window absorbs a slow gangway, which is a real comfort on the busy Saturday and Sunday mornings when thousands of passengers come off at once. The luggage rides with you the whole way, the vehicle is reserved for your group alone, and at the resort the driver brings you right to the main entrance. It is a calm, coordinated start to the trip instead of a scramble.
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.
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.
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.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
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.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
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, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Fuimos de crucero con una tropa grande y queríamos al grupo entero en un solo viaje privado a Pineapple Beach Resort tras desembarcar. Reservar fue fácil, recibimos todo por escrito, y todo calzó perfecto. Sin recorrer un estacionamiento — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
Los dos reservamos un traslado privado para después del crucero y así no lidiar con el gentío del puerto camino a Pineapple Beach Resort. El SUV estaba fresco y cómodo, con lugar para todo. Había un cartel con nuestro nombre en la acera, así que ubicamos al conductor al instante.
Easiest disembarkation we’ve had — driver at the curb, bags handled, straight to the door of Pineapple Beach Resort. There was a sign with our name at the terminal doors, so we didn’t have to look around.
A group of us came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the port to Pineapple Beach Resort. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Pineapple Beach Resort, it was money well spent.
The group of us walked off together and it was so easy to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Pineapple Beach Resort — nobody splitting up. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
