From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to San Juan Hotel South Beach 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.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The meet-and-greet there is included in the fare; a name-sign welcome is a $20 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
San Juan Hotel South Beach sits in the heart of South Beach, the walkable coastal grid that holds the classic Miami postcard together. Step out the door and you are inside the Art Deco Historic District, with the pastel facades of Ocean Drive, the tiled charm of Española Way, and the open-air shopping of Lincoln Road all part of the same neighborhood. It is the kind of address where the map you need after a cruise is mostly your own two feet.
The sand is close, too. Lummus Park Beach runs along this stretch of coast, and the New World Center is nearby for anyone wanting a little culture between beach hours. Because the property is right on the water, dropping your bags and walking straight to the ocean is the natural first move once you land ashore. The rhythm of arrival day stays simple: clear the terminal, ride straight here, and let South Beach open up from your doorstep.
For the details only the hotel can answer — room types, on-site parking, and check-in timing — the property’s own official page is the place to look, and we leave those specifics to them. What we handle is the part before you walk in: a private, reserved ride that ends at the entrance, with your bags carried to the curb beside you. From there, the Art Deco streets, Ocean Drive, and the beach itself are yours to explore at whatever pace the day calls for after a week at sea.
The trip from the Port of Miami to San Juan Hotel South Beach runs about 6.3 miles and takes roughly 21 to 23 minutes, following SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway. It is a short, direct hop — no stops between the terminal and the hotel entrance. Your driver takes SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway across, then pulls up at the door and sets your bags on the curb beside you.
The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, and every bag rides with you, lobby to curb. Your chauffeur is coordinated by message as you leave the arrivals hall and meets you at your ship’s own terminal, so there is no wandering the port looking for a pickup. Because weekend mornings send thousands of passengers off the ships at once, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, with the causeway traffic already built into the plan.
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.
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.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to San Juan Hotel South Beach was the best part of the day. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
The two of us booked a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t worry about the timing getting over to San Juan Hotel South Beach. 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.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to San Juan Hotel South Beach. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
My partner and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to San Juan Hotel South Beach before we even sailed.
Los dos reservamos un traslado privado para la mañana del desembarque y así no lidiar con el gentío del puerto camino a San Juan Hotel South Beach. Llegar a San Juan Hotel South Beach sin vueltas significó que pudimos dejar las maletas y arrancar el día. Un traspaso fácil y cómodo para los dos — del barco a San Juan Hotel South Beach sin nada que resolver.
