From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hotel Rendale Miami 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.
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.
Hotel Rendale Miami Beach sits in Mid-Beach, the quieter stretch of the barrier island where Collins Avenue resorts line up along the water and the pace slows down from the crowds farther south. It is still right on the ocean, so the shoreline is only steps from the door. Plenty of guests set down their bags and trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they step off the cruise.
The location keeps you close to what makes this part of the coast worth staying for. The beachwalk runs along the sand, and the Miami Beach Boardwalk is an easy stroll from the property. A few blocks south you reach the Bass Museum, and the Faena District and Indian Creek are both nearby, all part of the Mid-Beach neighborhood that surrounds your stay. It is a calmer base than the busier districts, without giving up the water.
For a traveler coming straight from the port, that mix works well. You arrive with your luggage carried to the door, the ocean within reach, and Collins Avenue ready whenever you want to wander. If you are extending the trip past the cruise, the boardwalk and the surrounding Mid-Beach streets give you room to explore on foot before you settle in. The hotel puts you where the beach and the neighborhood meet, so the shift from ship to shore is a short one, and the rest of the day is yours to spend however you like along the sand.
Book before you dock and the arrival becomes the simple part of the day. Your reserved vehicle is staged for your ship’s actual disembarkation at your terminal on Dodge Island, and the chauffeur coordinates with your group by message as you clear the hall and meets you at the curb. From there it runs straight to Hotel Rendale Miami Beach with no stops along the way, your luggage loaded and handled at both ends.
The route follows SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway across to the island, a short run that lands you at the door in Mid-Beach. Your booking carries thirty minutes of free wait at the port, so customs lines never cost you the ride, and the whole trip is one vehicle for your group only. The chauffeur is bilingual in Spanish and English and knows the port well, so the pickup stays timed to when you actually walk off the ship rather than a fixed clock.
Booking the ride in advance locks the price and the vehicle size, puts a driver on your arrival time, and turns the first leg of the trip into the easiest one. The group stays together and the luggage rides with you.
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.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
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.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
The group of us walked off at once and it was so easy to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Hotel Rendale Miami Beach — nobody splitting up. There was room for everyone for the whole group and everyone’s bags in one van to Hotel Rendale Miami Beach.
Éramos seis bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a Hotel Rendale Miami Beach fue la forma fácil. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin paradas ajenas — justo lo indicado para esa mañana. La noche anterior recibimos un texto con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no hubo que adivinar en la acera al salir.
Viajando con la familia, coordinamos una van privada para que nos esperara en la terminal de cruceros y llevara a todos hasta Hotel Rendale Miami Beach. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal. Los niños durmieron todo el camino, y llegar directo a Hotel Rendale Miami Beach sin correr en el puerto fue un alivio.
With kids in tow, pre-booking a private car from the port to Hotel Rendale Miami Beach meant nothing to sort out on disembarkation morning. The child seat was set up before we even walked out, which was a real help that morning. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
Viajando con los pequeños, coordinamos una van privada para que estuviera en la acera y llevara a todos hasta Hotel Rendale Miami Beach. La tarifa estaba acordada de antemano, sin nada extra en la acera. Reservar fue simple, recibimos todo por escrito, y todo salió tal cual.
