From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Prime Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
Prime Hotel puts you right where cruise travelers want to be after a sailing: within steps of the shoreline, on the South Beach side of the causeway from PortMiami. Guests here often trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark, since the beach sits close enough to reach on foot once the bags are dropped and the room is sorted.
The location does a lot of the work. From Prime Hotel you are inside easy reach of Lincoln Road Mall and the Art Deco Historic District, with Española Way and the New World Center also close by in the same South Beach neighborhood. Many arriving guests fit one or two of those into the first day ashore, walking the shops and the pastel storefronts once they have unpacked. It is the kind of stay where the map stays folded, because most of what you came for is within a short stroll.
Arrival is meant to be simple. Your driver brings you straight to the entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you, so the first thing you handle at Prime Hotel is check-in, not luggage logistics. Whether you are here for a pre-cruise night or settling in for a longer beach stay, the hotel works as a clean, well-placed anchor for the South Beach part of your trip, with the ocean, the shops, and the historic district all within an easy radius of the front door.
This is a door-to-door private run from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to the entrance of Prime Hotel, timed to your ship’s arrival. Your driver is staged at the terminal before you clear the disembarkation hall, so the waiting is theirs, not yours. Disembarkation mornings pile up fast at the terminal exits, and having the vehicle already in place is what keeps the morning moving. Once you are out, the bags go into the vehicle, your group climbs in, and you head straight for South Beach with no added stops and no strangers along for the ride.
The route follows MacArthur Causeway and SR A1A across to the beach side, a short hop from the port. Fuel, standard tolls, and full luggage help are already inside the flat fare, so nothing changes on the day. Your driver is bilingual in Spanish and English and knows the port, and the car is yours alone for the whole trip to the door of Prime Hotel.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes for the details: add a passenger, a child seat or a note up to 12 hours before the pickup time. No for the date, which stays as booked.
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 quería andar buscando un transporte la mañana en que bajé del barco, así que reservé un auto privado de la terminal a Prime Hotel. Tenía todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto. El conductor me dejó en la entrada de Prime Hotel, y no a media cuadra.
After a long week at sea, having a private car ready to Prime Hotel was exactly what we needed. The fare was set up front, nothing added at the curb.
We cruised with a group of friends and wanted the whole group in one private ride to Prime Hotel after disembarking. The van was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, and there was space for everything.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car meet us at the terminal for the ride over to Prime Hotel was the best part of the day. The fare was locked in at booking, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning.
No app hassle — we walked off the ship and a clean, private car was right there, then straight to Prime Hotel. Highly recommend.
