From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Deluxe Suites at Castle Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included; a name-sign welcome is available for an extra $20. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Deluxe Suites at Castle Beach sits in Mid-Beach, the calmer stretch of Miami Beach that runs north of the South Beach crowds while staying right on the ocean. This is the Collins Avenue side of the island, a run of oceanfront resorts and residences where the pace slows down without moving you away from the water. For travelers stepping off a cruise, it is a place to actually settle in rather than fight for a spot on a busy block.
Arrive here and the shoreline is only steps away. Many guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark, walking straight from the entrance toward the beach and the oceanfront path that traces this part of the coast. The setting is quiet enough to feel like a break, yet still fully on the Atlantic, so the view and the sound of the water are part of the stay from the first hour.
The surroundings give you plenty to reach on foot or by a short ride. The Bass Museum sits a few blocks south, and the Miami Beach Boardwalk connects the neighborhood to the wider beachfront. Nearby in Mid-Beach you also have the Faena District and Indian Creek, so if you stay on after the cruise there is more to explore close to your door. Collins Avenue keeps everything strung together along the shore, which makes Deluxe Suites at Castle Beach an easy base whether you are here for one night before flying out or a longer stretch by the water.
The trip runs from your ship’s own terminal at Port of Miami over to Deluxe Suites at Castle Beach, a short hop of about 10 miles that usually takes 28 to 30 minutes. Your chauffeur follows the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 across to the Mid-Beach shore, so the route stays direct with only causeway traffic as the real variable. Because the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival, the car is staged and waiting when you clear the hall rather than tied to a fixed slot.
You are met at the curb beside your terminal, not out in a parking lot, and your bags are carried and loaded so your group rides together with the luggage in the vehicle. From there it is one straight run to the entrance at Castle Beach, where the driver unloads at the door. No stops, no shared seats, and nothing to sort out on the day once you are on the road.
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.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our family of five came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver had room for all the suitcases for the ride to Deluxe Suites at Castle Beach.
Mi esposo y yo bajamos del barco en PortMiami y había un auto privado ahí mismo para nosotros para llevarnos a Deluxe Suites at Castle Beach. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin paradas ajenas — justo lo indicado para esa mañana.
Sin fila de taxis — bajamos del barco y un auto privado y limpio estaba ahí mismo, y directo a Deluxe Suites at Castle Beach. Lo reservaría de nuevo. El viaje de la terminal a Deluxe Suites at Castle Beach fue fácil todo el camino, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero.
For an easy disembarkation, my husband and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Deluxe Suites at Castle Beach. The ride from the terminal to Deluxe Suites at Castle Beach was easy the whole way, and we could just settle in. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and an easy ride over to Deluxe Suites at Castle Beach. There was a board with our name on it at the curb, so we didn’t have to look around.
