From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Varadero Suites Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Varadero Suites Hotel sits inside the MIA Airport District, the part of Miami built around the airport and its expressways rather than the beach. This is a transit-day neighborhood by design: hotel rows line NW 36th Street, office parks trace the lakes, and the highways that carry you across the city are only minutes away. For a traveler stepping off a cruise, that location is the point — it puts you close to where the next leg of the trip begins.
The stay itself sits near Blue Lagoon, one of the lakes that give this district its open, low-rise feel, and within reach of Miami Springs Golf Course for anyone with time to fill before or after a sailing. The Dolphin Expressway, SR-836, runs alongside the area and connects it to the rest of Miami, so the hotel works as a base whether you are heading downtown, to the shops, or straight to another terminal. It is a practical place to land, organized around movement.
Anything about the rooms, the front desk, or what the property offers on arrival lives on Varadero Suites Hotel’s own official page — the details of your stay are theirs to describe. Our part is the ride that gets you there: a private car reserved for your group alone, meeting you the moment you clear the ship and running straight to the door. When you reach the lobby, the travel is behind you and the stay is all that is left.
Book the car before you dock and disembarkation turns simple. Your driver is staged for your ship’s actual arrival at its own terminal on Dodge Island, coordinated by message as you come off the vessel, and meets your group at the curb. From there it is one run to Varadero Suites Hotel with no stops and no shared seats — the vehicle carries your party alone, and the fare is locked before you travel, tolls and fuel already covered.
Luggage stays with you in the vehicle from the pier to the lobby, with hands-on help loading and unloading. Because the pickup follows your ship rather than a slot cut to the minute, customs lines never cost you the ride — there is room built into the wait. When you reach Varadero Suites Hotel, the driver brings you to the door, and the transfer is done. It is a calmer way to move than sorting out a ride once you are already ashore with bags in hand.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
A 50% deposit reserves the ride online; the balance is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. A child seat is $15 on request, and any added stop is $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.
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.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
Éramos seis bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a Varadero Suites Hotel fue mucho más simple que dividirnos en autos. La noche anterior recibimos un texto con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no hubo que adivinar en la acera al salir.
No quería jugármela con un transporte la mañana en que bajé del barco, así que coordiné un auto privado de la terminal a Varadero Suites Hotel. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — el puerto quedó totalmente resuelto. El viaje de la terminal a Varadero Suites Hotel fue cómodo y sin apuros, y pude ver pasar la ciudad.
The two of us set up a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t worry about the timing getting over to Varadero Suites Hotel. Getting to Varadero Suites Hotel first thing meant we could drop the bags and start the day. The ride from the terminal to Varadero Suites Hotel was smooth and steady, and we could just watch the city go by.
Tras la travesía, mi esposa y yo no queríamos andar buscando un transporte en la terminal, así que coordinamos un auto privado a Varadero Suites Hotel.
Couldn’t have been simpler — a driver waiting, bags loaded, and an easy ride over to Varadero Suites Hotel.
