From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Residence Inn Miami Northwest in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Residence Inn Miami Northwest sits in Doral, at 10234 Northwest 19th Street, Doral 33172. Doral is one of Miami’s business districts, a tidy grid of corporate offices, dining, and golf that draws two very different crowds for the same reasons: it is easy to reach, easy to park in, and close to everything a working trip or a golf weekend needs. Pulling up here after a cruise, you trade the noise of the port for a calmer, well-organized corner of the city.
The address puts you in the middle of Doral’s rhythm. CityPlace Doral, with its restaurants and shops, is close by, and the famous Trump National Doral golf resort shares the same part of town. Downtown Doral rounds out the neighborhood, and the Palmetto Expressway runs nearby, which is part of why the area is a favorite for golfers and business travelers alike. Corporate Miami and resort golf sit side by side on these streets, so a client dinner and a tee time can live in the same afternoon.
What you find on arrival is a practical base rather than a scene. Doral is built for people who have somewhere to be, which makes it a steady place to settle in for a few days after a sailing. The stay itself is handled by the hotel; the ride from the ship to its front door is our part. Once your driver drops you at the main entrance, the rest of Doral, from CityPlace to the golf resort, is a short move away and the day is yours to shape.
The trip runs about 13.9 miles from the terminal to Residence Inn Miami Northwest, and it holds to a single, direct line the whole way. Your chauffeur is staged before you clear the terminal hall, so the wait is theirs and not yours. Once your group reaches the curb, the driver loads the luggage, everyone climbs in, and the vehicle pulls out with no stops between the port and the hotel. Bags stay in the vehicle from the terminal to the door, so there is no dragging them across the port and no juggling on arrival.
From there the route follows SR-836 across the city, which usually puts the door-to-door time around 28 to 40 minutes depending on how heavy the disembarkation-morning traffic runs. It is one clean leg from Dodge Island to Doral. At the hotel your driver brings the vehicle to the main entrance and helps with the bags again, so the last steps of the trip are as easy as the first.
Booking the ride in advance locks the price and the vehicle size, puts a driver on your arrival time, and turns the first leg of the trip into the easiest one. The group stays together and the luggage rides with you.
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.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. A child seat is fitted on request for $15. Extra stops along the way are $45 per 30 minutes.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
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.
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.
Con los niños, coordinar un auto privado de la terminal a Residence Inn Miami Northwest significó cero estrés la mañana del desembarque. La tarifa estaba fija desde la reserva, sin nada extra en la acera. El conductor metió toda la pila de equipaje para que no tuviéramos que cargar nada. Lo reservaría para el próximo crucero.
Meu marido e eu queríamos uma passagem limpa na saída do terminal, então reservamos uma viagem privativa até Residence Inn Miami Northwest antes mesmo de zarpar. A tarifa estava combinada antes, sem nada a mais no meio-fio.
For a stress-free morning off the ship, my partner and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Residence Inn Miami Northwest. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship.
Un grupo de nosotros bajamos del barco juntos y reservamos una van privada de la terminal de cruceros a Residence Inn Miami Northwest. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin paradas ajenas — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos. Sin caos en el puerto — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
La forma tranquila de ir del barco a Residence Inn Miami Northwest. No podría recomendarlo más. Llegar a Residence Inn Miami Northwest directo desde la terminal significó que pudimos instalarnos sin esperar.
