From $185 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hotel Seacrest in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The meet-and-greet there is included in the fare; a name-sign welcome is a $20 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Hotel Seacrest puts you in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a low-key beach town north of Port of Miami, with the shoreline only steps from the front door. Many guests barely unpack before they swap the ship’s pool for real sand, wading in the same afternoon they come ashore. It is the kind of stay where the ocean sets the pace: you walk out, the water is right there, and the small scale of the town keeps most things within an easy stroll rather than a drive.
The setting rewards anyone who likes the water up close. Divers walk straight in from the beach here — the town’s reef sits just offshore, tucked behind a main street of ice-cream shops and the old fishing pier. Guests often head out to Anglin’s Fishing Pier and Datura Avenue for a first look around once they have dropped their bags, and El Prado Park adds a bit of green nearby. The shore-dive reef, the pier, and the quiet blocks around your stay give the area a genuine seaside-town feel.
When your ride reaches Hotel Seacrest, your driver pulls up to the main entrance, so there is no wandering to find the group. From there the beach, the pier, and Datura Avenue are all close enough to explore on foot. Whether the plan is a single night before a flight or a longer stretch by the water, the location keeps the coast, the reef, and the town’s small pleasures within reach the moment you arrive.
The trip from Port of Miami to Hotel Seacrest is one direct leg of about 35.1 miles, most of it on I-95. Plan on roughly 59 to 74 minutes depending on the hour. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you clear the hall, so the waiting is theirs, not yours — you walk off the ship, meet the driver at the curb, and the bags go straight into the vehicle.
Disembarkation mornings pile up fast at the terminal exits, which is why the pickup is coordinated by message as you come off and the vehicle is reserved for your group alone. Your luggage stays with you in the same vehicle the whole way, and the driver handles it at both ends. Once you are loaded, I-95 carries you north in a single run to the front entrance of Hotel Seacrest, with a 30-minute wait window built in to cover slow gangways.
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.
A 50% deposit reserves the ride online; the balance is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
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.
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.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
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.
We cruised as a group and wanted all of us and the bags in one private ride to Hotel Seacrest after disembarking. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to juggle it all. There was a sign with our name at the exit, so we didn’t have to look around.
My wife and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Hotel Seacrest before we even sailed. The fare was locked in at booking, nothing added at the curb.
Nuestro grupo entero fue todo junto directo del puerto a Hotel Seacrest, y salió buenísimo. Teníamos los datos del conductor con anticipación, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto.
Llegando a tierra sin compañía, tenía un conductor esperando en la terminal para el viaje a Hotel Seacrest — sin caos en el puerto. El viaje de la terminal a Hotel Seacrest fue silencioso y relajado, y pude ver pasar la ciudad.
The eight of us came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the port to Hotel Seacrest.
