From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport – Blue Lagoon 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.
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.
Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport – Blue Lagoon sits inside the MIA Airport District, a corner of Miami built almost entirely around travel days. This is the part of town where hotel rows line NW 36th Street, office parks spread along the lakes, and expressways run off in every direction. If your plans involve an early flight, a layover, or a night close to the terminal before or after you sail, this is a practical place to land.
The stay sits close to Blue Lagoon itself, the wide lake the district takes its name from, and Miami Springs Golf Course is within easy reach as well. The Dolphin Expressway — SR-836 — and NW 36th Street are both nearby, which is what makes the area so easy to move through by car. For questions about rooms, on-site parking, and check-in times, the hotel’s own official page is the place to confirm the details, since those change from season to season.
When your ride is a hotel pickup rather than a terminal pickup, the chauffeur meets your group at the lobby door at the hour you agreed on, so there is no wandering the property looking for a car. The district’s grid of expressways and 36th Street means the hotel connects quickly to the airport, the port, and the rest of Miami, which is exactly what you want on a day built around a departure or an arrival. It makes a calm base for the in-between hours of a trip.
From your ship’s terminal at PortMiami, the run to Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport – Blue Lagoon is a single trip along SR-836, the Dolphin Expressway. Plan on roughly 24 to 31 minutes door to door, depending on whether the road is light or heavy that morning. Your chauffeur is timed to your actual disembarkation, not a fixed clock, so weekend mornings when thousands walk off the ships at once are already built into the plan.
You are met at the curb by your terminal, and every bag rides in the vehicle with you — nothing balanced on a sidewalk while you wait. The car is reserved for your party alone, from the pier straight to the hotel lobby, and tolls and fuel are already inside the fare, so nothing is added at the door.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
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.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
The black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
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.
My wife and I stepped off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport – Blue Lagoon. Booking was quick, we got a solid confirmation, and everything went exactly as planned.
Bajando del barco por mi cuenta, tenía un conductor ya en la acera para el viaje a Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport – Blue Lagoon — sin nada librado al azar. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — todo se acomodó solo en la terminal.
First time cruising solo out of PortMiami, and having a private car waiting at the terminal for the trip to Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport – Blue Lagoon made it painless.

Mi pareja y yo tuvimos una travesía genial y lo cerramos con un auto privado listo en la acera para llevarnos a Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport – Blue Lagoon — sin una sola preocupación en la terminal. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no quedaba nada por resolver al salir.
My wife and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport – Blue Lagoon before we even sailed. There was a name sign at the terminal doors, so we spotted the driver immediately. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to juggle it all.
