From $125 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hollywood Resort Retreat: Pool & Beach Access in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Hollywood Resort Retreat: Pool & Beach Access sits in Hollywood, the beach town that falls almost exactly halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. The setting trades the density of the city for a slower coastal pace, and that balance is much of the appeal. You are close enough to the port to keep the ride short, yet planted in a place that holds onto its own easygoing rhythm, so bags come off the ship and, before long, you are somewhere built for unwinding rather than rushing.
Arrival day tends to unfold in a simple way. Once your group settles in, the sand is right there, and many guests do exactly what the location invites — they leave the ship’s pool behind and swap it for the real Atlantic the same afternoon they step off the gangway. Between the resort’s own pool and the open beach a short walk away, the water is never far, whichever version of it you prefer.
The surrounding blocks give you reasons to stay put. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk runs along the shore for a long, flat stroll past cafes and open sky, and ArtsPark at Young Circle sits nearby for green space and events. A little farther out you have the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and West Lake Park, both close by in Hollywood. It adds up to a stretch of coast you can settle into for an afternoon or several days, with the beach as the constant anchor.
The trip from the cruise terminal runs about 20 miles, and the driver plans for anywhere between 44 and 59 minutes depending on when your ship clears. The route follows I-95 north, a straight run with no detours and no stops along the way. Your chauffeur is already in position when you reach the curb, coordinated by message as your group works through the terminal, so there is no waiting around once your bags are in hand.
From there it is a single direct ride. Your luggage goes into the vehicle, the group travels together, and the car pulls up at the entrance to Hollywood Resort Retreat: Pool & Beach Access with the bags carried to the curb beside you. Weekend port mornings can be busy, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guessed clock, and the drive lands you at the door ready to start the afternoon.
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.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
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.
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.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
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.
Mi pareja y yo no queríamos el caos de taxis afuera de la terminal, así que reservamos un viaje privado a Hollywood Resort Retreat: Pool & Beach Access antes de zarpar. Reservar fue simple, recibimos todo por escrito, y todo coincidió con lo prometido.
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and a comfortable ride over to Hollywood Resort Retreat: Pool & Beach Access.
The little ones were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Hollywood Resort Retreat: Pool & Beach Access in one piece.
No quería andar buscando un transporte la mañana en que bajé del barco, así que coordiné un auto privado del puerto a Hollywood Resort Retreat: Pool & Beach Access. Sin pelear con una app — caminé de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. Ya guardé el contacto para mi próximo crucero desde PortMiami.
We got off the ship with the kids and a mountain of luggage, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Hollywood Resort Retreat: Pool & Beach Access a breeze. The ride from the terminal to Hollywood Resort Retreat: Pool & Beach Access was calm and comfortable, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
