From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Homewood Suites Miami Airport West 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The terminal greeting is covered by the fare and a name sign is offered for $20. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Homewood Suites Miami Airport West sits inside the MIA Airport District, the cluster of hotels that keeps travelers close to Miami International without putting them in the middle of the city. It is a practical base for anyone pairing a cruise with a flight, since the same corridor that feeds the airport also connects straight to the water. After a morning at the terminal, arriving here means you are minutes from the runways and already positioned for whatever comes next.
The location leans on the district’s road network. The Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) runs nearby, and the Palmetto Expressway is close as well, so getting to the airport or back toward the port is direct rather than a crawl through surface streets. That geography is the whole appeal of this pocket of Miami: you trade a beachfront view for genuine convenience, and for a cruise traveler juggling luggage and a flight time, convenience usually wins.
What guests tend to find once they settle in is easy access to the small pleasures of the area. The Blue Lagoon sits right in this corridor, and Miami Springs Golf Course is within reach for anyone with a free afternoon before or after a sailing. Families like the setup because everything is compact and the routes are simple. Whether you are flying in the night before to catch an early ship, or coming off the water and wanting a quiet room near the airport, this property covers the gap between the terminal and the gate with almost no wasted time.
This is a door-to-door private transfer from the Port of Miami terminal to Homewood Suites Miami Airport West, covering about 12 miles along SR-836 in roughly 26 to 34 minutes depending on traffic and the hour. Your driver is staged at the terminal when you walk off the ship, timed to your vessel’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, so you are not left waiting on the curb. Every bag goes into the vehicle with full luggage help at both ends, and the group rides alone.
Because ships rarely clear everyone at the same minute, the pickup is planned around your arrival with built-in wait time absorbing customs and the luggage hall. You come out, the vehicle is there, and the next stop is the hotel door. If your plans also include the airport, ask for that leg when you message us and it runs on the same flat pricing as one coordinated ride for the day.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
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.
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.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
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.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
El desembarque más fácil que hemos tenido — recogida en la terminal, equipaje listo, directo a la puerta de Homewood Suites Miami Airport West. La sillita para el niño estaba lista cuando subimos, lo que fue una gran ayuda esa mañana.
Reservamos una sola van para la comitiva entera de la terminal a Homewood Suites Miami Airport West para que nadie se quedara atrás. Había una ventana de cortesía desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para pasar la aduana.
My husband and I had a great sailing and followed it with a private car waiting right at the terminal to take us to Homewood Suites Miami Airport West — not one worry at the terminal. There was a name sign at the terminal doors, so we didn’t have to look around.
The little ones were half asleep when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to Homewood Suites Miami Airport West before anyone lost it. The kids were done after a week at sea, and getting straight to Homewood Suites Miami Airport West without a scramble at the port was perfect. We went from the ship to the front desk of Homewood Suites Miami Airport West with no stress at all.
No app hassle — we walked off the ship and the car was right there, then straight to Homewood Suites Miami Airport West. Highly recommend. Booking was simple, we got a solid confirmation, and everything matched what we were told.
