From $185 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Coral Key Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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 terminal greeting included in the fare and a $20 name-sign option if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Coral Key Inn sits in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a small beach town where the shoreline is only steps from the door. Guests who stay here can trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they come off the boat, which is a rare thing after a cruise week spent looking at the water rather than standing in it. The inn puts you inside a walkable stretch of town rather than out on a highway, so most of what you came for is close by on foot.
The town itself is built around the water. Divers walk straight into the sea here, because the reef sits just offshore, tucked behind a main street lined with ice-cream shops and an old fishing pier. It is the kind of place where the beach, the shops, and the pier all sit within a short walk of one another, and where the reef being that close to the sand shapes the whole feel of the neighborhood.
Once you have dropped your bags, there is plenty within reach. Guests staying at Coral Key Inn often fit in Anglin’s Fishing Pier and a stroll down Datura Avenue soon after arriving, with the shore-dive reef and El Prado Park also nearby. You can be reef-diving, walking the pier, or simply on the sand within the same day you disembark, without needing to plan much beyond stepping outside and following the main street toward the water.
This is a door-to-door private transfer that starts at your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island and ends at the entrance to Coral Key Inn. Your driver is coordinated by message as you walk off, meets your group curbside rather than in a parking lot, and loads the luggage into the vehicle so your bags ride with you the whole way. From the port the route follows I-95 for the roughly 35.4-mile run north, with no stops in between, and the group travels together in one vehicle.
Plan on 60 to 76 minutes between the Port of Miami and Coral Key Inn, depending on the hour. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, and the included 30-minute wait window absorbs a slow gangway or a long customs line. At the inn, the driver pulls up to the main entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you.
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.
Late is fine: the SUV night fee is $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 outside them for pickups between 9 PM and 7 AM. A stop on the route runs $45 per 30 minutes, and a child seat is $15.
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.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
We came off the ship tired but happy and a driver already waiting to take us to Coral Key Inn set the tone for the rest of the trip. The driver handled the suitcases so we didn’t have to juggle it all. An easy, relaxed handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Coral Key Inn with nothing left to sort out.
Private, punctual, and painless — way easier than fighting for a ride outside the terminal. For a reliable way to get from the ship to Coral Key Inn, it was money well spent.
Todo salió a tiempo del puerto hasta la puerta de Coral Key Inn — sin ninguna queja. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto.
We reserved one van for the entire crew from the terminal to Coral Key Inn so nobody got left behind. For a stress-free way to get from the ship to Coral Key Inn, it was well worth it. Getting to Coral Key Inn first thing meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
Waiting at the curb the moment I walked out, and a comfortable ride over to Coral Key Inn. No app to fight with — I just went straight from the curb into the car.
