From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Villa Byron Suites 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, a name-sign pickup adds $20, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Villa Byron Suites sits in South Beach, the stretch of coast where the sand at Lummus Park runs up against the pastel facades of Ocean Drive. This is the corner of the city that most people picture first — a compact, walkable grid where the beach, the cafes, and the historic streets all sit within a few blocks of one another. The property puts you inside that grid rather than on the edge of it, so the postcard version of the neighborhood is right outside the door.
The stay is well placed for the landmarks that define this part of town. Lincoln Road Mall and the Art Deco Historic District are within easy reach, and Española Way and the New World Center are close by as well. That means a morning walk can take in the palm-lined promenade, the restored deco buildings, and the pedestrian streets without needing to move the car again once you have arrived and dropped your bags.
With the ocean sitting right along the neighborhood, a beach afternoon is the natural move after a cruise — leave the luggage at Villa Byron Suites and walk to the water. The setting concentrates the classic look of the coast into one small, easy-to-cover area, so you spend your time on foot rather than in transit. For the details that belong to the property itself — room types, parking, and check-in timing — the hotel’s own official page is the place to confirm, since those specifics can change and are best taken straight from the source.
This is a door-to-door private transfer from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to Villa Byron Suites, run as a single direct leg. Once your group clears the exit after disembarkation, the chauffeur is staged for the terminal curb — you are met right there, not sent off to find a parking lot. Your bags go straight into the vehicle with full help from curb to car, and the route runs along SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway into South Beach.
Plan on roughly 18 to 20 minutes from the terminal to the door, depending on the hour. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest window, with thousands of passengers walking off the ships at once, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock. Thirty minutes of courtesy wait is built into every port pickup, which gives your group room to clear customs and reach the curb without the car leaving. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone, from the first bag to the final drop.
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.
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.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
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.
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 sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Villa Byron Suites made the morning easy. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was reliable and on time. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out.
Took all the worry out of getting off the ship — so easy. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt completely at ease from the terminal all the way to the door of Villa Byron Suites.
Mi esposa y yo tuvimos una travesía genial y lo cerramos con un auto privado esperando en la terminal para llevarnos a Villa Byron Suites — sin líos en el puerto.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Villa Byron Suites took all the stress out of it. No app to fight with — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
Coming down the gangway on my own, the last thing I wanted was to sort out transport at the port, so I had a private car lined up for the run to Villa Byron Suites. Getting to Villa Byron Suites straight from the terminal meant I could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
