From $105 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove 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.
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.
Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove sits in one of Miami’s most walkable waterfront neighborhoods, where the streets keep a small-village feel under a canopy of old banyan trees. This is the leafy, historic side of the city, a change of pace from the busy terminals you just left. Step out the door and you are within reach of sidewalk dining, boutiques, and the sailboats moored along the bay, all of it a short distance from your room.
The Grove rewards travelers who like to wander on foot. CocoWalk anchors the shopping and dining scene a few blocks away, while Dinner Key Marina lines the water with masts and open sky. Green space is everywhere: Peacock Park spreads out near the center of the neighborhood, and the Barnacle Historic State Park preserves a piece of the Grove’s early bayside story. Just up the road, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens draws visitors to its formal gardens and villa overlooking Biscayne Bay.
Because the hotel puts you in the heart of Coconut Grove, most of what you will want after a cruise is close at hand, from a quiet dinner to an afternoon by the marina. For rooms, parking, and check-in details, the property itself is the place to confirm what you need. When your driver pulls up at the entrance, you can hand off the bags, step inside, and start settling into the calmer, greener corner of Miami that gives this Grove address its character.
This is a private, terminal-to-door transfer: one vehicle reserved for your group alone, timed to your ship’s arrival and staged at the cruise terminal before you finish clearing the hall. Disembarkation mornings stack up fast at the exits, so the plan is simple. Your driver coordinates the pickup by message as you walk off, meets you with luggage help, and the included wait window absorbs a slow gangway. The wait is theirs, not yours.
From the pier it is one straight run toward Coconut Grove along US-1, with every bag loaded into the vehicle and nothing shared with strangers. The price already covers fuel, standard tolls, and full luggage assistance, so there is nothing to settle on the curb. Your chauffeur is bilingual in English and Spanish and works these terminals regularly, which keeps the handoff smooth at both ends. When you reach Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove, the drop-off is right at the door.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
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.
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.
My partner and I walked off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to struggle with anything. The ride from the terminal to Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove was easy the whole way, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
My partner and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove before we even sailed. There was a board with our name on it at the terminal doors, so we knew right where to go.
As a solo cruiser I arranged a private transfer from the terminal to Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove for the morning I got off, and it could not have been easier. The fare was fixed when I booked, the same number I was quoted. The car was clean, cool, and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
After a long week at sea, having the ride already handled to Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove was exactly what we needed. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
Para un desembarque sin estrés, mi pareja y yo hicimos que un conductor privado nos esperara en la terminal de cruceros y nos llevara a Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove. Llegar a Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove a primera hora significó que pudimos dejar las maletas y arrancar el día. Un traspaso fácil y cómodo para los dos — del barco a Sonesta Bayfront Hotel Coconut Grove sin nada que resolver. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
