From $180 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Wilton River Hotel Suites 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The terminal greeting is covered by the fare and a name sign is offered for $20. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Wilton River Hotel Suites sits in the northern stretch of Broward County, about 31.3 road miles from the Port of Miami cruise terminals. It is a practical base for travelers who want to be near the west-side attractions without staying in the middle of downtown Miami. When you arrive, you step out of the vehicle at the entrance with your bags carried to the curb beside you, and the busy corridors of North Broward are right at hand.
The location leans on some of the area’s better-known draws. Sawgrass Mills pulls the crowds out west with its long run of shops, and Amerant Bank Arena is within easy reach for anyone timing a stay around a game or a show. For a quieter afternoon, Tradewinds Park and Everglades Holiday Park are both close by, giving you green space and a taste of the wetlands that define this part of South Florida.
Around the hotel, the residential grid of Sunrise, Plantation, and Coral Springs keeps the setting calm once you leave the retail bustle behind. That mix — big attractions a short drive one way, settled neighborhoods the other — is what makes the spot work for cruisers stretching a trip on either side of their sailing. Anything about the rooms and the stay itself lives on the hotel’s own official page; our job is the ride between your ship and the door, handled by a chauffeur who knows the port and the roads north.
After you clear the ship and the luggage hall, your driver is already staged at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, so there is no scramble to find a ride on a crowded pier. The 30-minute wait window is built in to absorb customs and the bag claim — you walk out, the vehicle is there, and your group loads in together. Bags go into the vehicle with full luggage help at both ends of the trip, and the car is yours alone, with no strangers and no added stops along the way.
From the port, the route follows I-95 north for the 31.3-mile run up into North Broward. Plan on 51 to 67 minutes door to door, depending on the hour, since traffic on I-95 is the one real variable. That is why the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute, and the driver drops the group right at the hotel entrance.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
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.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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 finished a wonderful cruise and followed it with a private car ready at the curb to take us to Wilton River Hotel Suites — no fuss at the port. We were dropped right at the front door of Wilton River Hotel Suites, not down the block. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship. Highly recommend.
Tras la travesía, mi esposa y yo no queríamos andar buscando un transporte en la terminal, así que coordinamos un auto privado a Wilton River Hotel Suites. Pasamos de la terminal a una cama de verdad sin nada de qué preocuparnos en el medio. Sin pelear con una app — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
Our crew booked one van straight from the terminal to Wilton River Hotel Suites, and nobody had to think about a thing. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
Descemos do navio depois de uma semana ótima e um carro privativo direto até Wilton River Hotel Suites deu o tom do resto da viagem. Chegar a Wilton River Hotel Suites sem desvios significou que pudemos fazer o check-in e enfim tomar um banho depois da semana no mar.
As a solo cruiser I pre-booked a private transfer from PortMiami to Wilton River Hotel Suites for disembarkation morning, and it was the best call of the trip.
