From $100 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hyatt Regency Miami, your group alone.
Each rate below is the full price for the vehicle on the one-way trip from the cruise terminals to the hotel — the whole party rides on a single locked fare, with fuel and standard tolls already inside it.
Book before the ship docks and stepping off becomes the simple part. The driver follows the terminal your cruise line is assigned to and waits curbside as you clear customs and gather your bags, so there is no app to open and no pickup lottery to lose. Luggage help at the curb comes standard, and a meet-and-greet at the doors is part of every booking, with thirty minutes of courtesy waiting built in so a slow customs hall never costs you the car. If you would like your surname on a printed sign at the exit, that name-board greeting can be added for $20.
The distance from the cruise terminals to Hyatt Regency Miami is only about 1.6 miles, and the run usually takes eight to ten minutes depending on how the roads move that morning. The driver loads the luggage at the terminal curb, takes Port Boulevard onto US-1, and covers the short leg to 400 SE 2nd St in one direct shot with no detours. Because the hotel sits just across the water from the berths, this is among the quickest transfers on the board.
Hyatt Regency Miami stands at 400 SE 2nd St, right in Downtown Miami and practically within sight of the cruise berths. Bayside Marketplace and Museum Park are a few blocks off, with the Perez Art Museum Miami, Bayfront Park and the Kaseya Center all close by along Biscayne Boulevard. That central footing makes the hotel an easy base for a night in the city once a sailing wraps, since much of Downtown is walkable from the door. Details on rooms and rates live on Hyatt Regency Miami’s official page; the ride from the ship is the part handled here.
A 50% deposit at the time of booking holds the vehicle for your date, and the balance is handed to the driver on the day of the trip. Pricing is one-way, so each direction is quoted on its own; travelers who also want the ride to the ship on embarkation day book that leg at the same flat rate, and both pickups are then scheduled together. Should the plan call for a quick errand along the way, an added stop runs $45 for every 30 minutes.
Daytime service runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge attached. For an SUV, a pickup that falls outside that window adds a flat $20 within Miami-Dade or Broward, or $50 for points beyond those two counties. The same window applies in both directions, so an early embarkation-day pickup is quoted the same way. Families stepping off the ships can add a child seat for $15, and it helps to flag it at booking so the seat is fitted before the driver reaches the terminal.
Disembarkation mornings are exactly when app-hailed fares climb, since thousands of passengers request a car in the same hour and the curbside price can jump without warning. A private transfer to the hotel is priced the moment you book and does not move after that. The driver is coordinated by message as you walk out, the car is exclusively yours, and there is no shared shuttle and no second pickup to wait on.
The rate is for the entire vehicle, not per head. Whatever fare matches your party size above covers the full one-way run to the hotel, and it does not rise as you add passengers up to that vehicle’s limit.
Plan on roughly eight to ten minutes from the terminal curb to the hotel door, give or take a little for traffic and the hour. The route is short — about 1.6 miles — so even a busy disembarkation morning rarely stretches it much further. Your driver is already staged before you clear the hall, so the wait is theirs, not yours.
Yes. The same flat one-way rate applies to the reverse leg from Hyatt Regency Miami back to the port. Book both directions at once and each pickup is timed to your sailing, so the return car is confirmed for the day you board.
Yes, a child seat can be added for $15 on this Port of Miami run. Ask for it when you reserve and note the child’s age so the right seat is waiting in the vehicle at pickup.
Send your ship, date, group size and pickup time, and the vehicle to the hotel is confirmed with the pickup staged around your arrival. Message on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748; a text is usually answered fastest between trips.
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 partner and I stepped off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was right there for us to take us to Hyatt Regency Miami. Getting to Hyatt Regency Miami with no detours meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
As a solo cruiser I lined up a private transfer from the terminal to Hyatt Regency Miami for disembarkation morning, and it was the best call of the trip. The driver loaded all my cruise luggage so I didn’t have to juggle it all. It was a private car just for me — no side pickups — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. Highly recommend.
Privado, a tiempo, y no tuve que pensar en nada entre el barco y Hyatt Regency Miami. Tenía todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto.
Getting off the ship on my own, I had a driver already at the curb for the ride to Hyatt Regency Miami — zero hassle. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt completely at ease from the terminal all the way to the door of Hyatt Regency Miami. There was a sign with my name at the curb, so I spotted the driver immediately.
After our cruise, my partner and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we lined up a private car to Hyatt Regency Miami. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship.
