From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Candlewood Suites Miami – Doral in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
Candlewood Suites Miami – Doral sits in Doral, the golf-and-business city that spreads west of the airport. This is a part of Miami built around championship courses, corporate campuses, and the shops and dining at CityPlace Doral, so the neighborhood around the hotel leans practical and professional rather than beachy. Arriving straight off a cruise, you land in a calm, workaday corner of the metro that is easy to settle into.
The hotel works well for the kind of stays Doral draws. Business travelers in for meetings, families extending a cruise into a few more nights, and groups coordinating a corporate sailing all find the location convenient to the courses, the corporate offices, and the CityPlace Doral shopping and restaurants nearby. Because Doral is spread out and car-oriented, having your ride planned to the door means you are not left guessing how to cross the city with your luggage after a long day on the water.
We handle only the ride itself, from the cruise terminal to the hotel entrance. Anything about the room, rates, or the stay itself lives on Candlewood Suites Miami – Doral’s own official page. For groups sailing out of Doral for a corporate trip, one coordinated pickup is far simpler than a scatter of separate cars and receipts: one vehicle, one invoice, one arrival time, with the whole party moving together to the same door.
Once your ship clears and your group reaches the exit, the car is already staged for the terminal curb. Your chauffeur loads every bag at the curb, so there is no dragging luggage across the port, and the ride to Candlewood Suites Miami – Doral runs as a single, direct leg out of the terminal. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone, door to door, with fuel and standard tolls already covered in the flat rate.
The run covers roughly 14.7 miles and normally takes 30 to 43 minutes, quiet hours to rush hour, along SR-836. Traffic on that road is the main variable, which is why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute. Thirty minutes of courtesy wait is built into every port pickup, so a slow disembarkation does not cost you the car. Heading back for embarkation day, the same flat one-way rate covers the reverse leg from the hotel to the pier.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
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.
A child seat can be installed for $15 when you book. Night service, meaning 9 PM to 7 AM, adds $20 to the SUV inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. Extra stops are metered at $45 per 30 minutes.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
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.
For a stress-free disembarkation, my wife and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Candlewood Suites Miami – Doral. Getting to Candlewood Suites Miami – Doral straight from the terminal meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea. Booking was simple, we got a solid confirmation, and everything matched what we were told. Would book again for the next cruise.
Nuestra familia de seis bajó del barco en PortMiami y el conductor ayudó con toda la pila de equipaje para el viaje a Candlewood Suites Miami – Doral. Para llegar del barco a Candlewood Suites Miami – Doral de forma confiable, valió mucho la pena.
Iba de crucero por mi cuenta y reservé un auto privado para que me esperara en la terminal de cruceros al bajar del barco y llevarme directo a Candlewood Suites Miami – Doral. Pasé del barco a la recepción de Candlewood Suites Miami – Doral sin nada de qué preocuparme en el medio.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car meet us at the terminal for the ride over to Candlewood Suites Miami – Doral was the best part of the day. An easy, low-key handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Candlewood Suites Miami – Doral with nothing left to sort out. The fare was locked in at booking, the same number we were quoted.
Minha esposa e eu saímos do navio no PortMiami e havia um carro privativo esperando no meio-fio do terminal para nos levar até Candlewood Suites Miami – Doral. Tínhamos todo o plano antes mesmo de o navio atracar, então não sobrava com o que se preocupar no terminal.
