From $100 flat: a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to JW Marriott Miami in Brickell, with your driver at the terminal.
Each fare below is the full price for the whole vehicle on a one-way run to JW Marriott Miami — locked the moment you reserve and unchanged by traffic, the calendar, or how many ships empty out the same morning.
The SUV takes a party of up to five with their cruise bags; the six-to-nine van suits a larger family group, and the ten-to-fourteen van moves a full sailing party and a week of luggage together. All three are private and run straight from your ship to the hotel in Brickell.
Your ship ties up at one of the terminals on Dodge Island, and that is exactly where the driver waits. As you walk out of the customs hall, a quick message on WhatsApp fixes the meeting point, and the car is at the curb rather than a distant lot. Send the cruise line and sailing time when you book so we stage at the correct terminal, and add a name sign to the reservation for $40 if you would rather spot your surname on a placard. Self-assist walkers are often out within the first hour and checked-luggage groups a little later, so every booking carries a half hour of included waiting at the port to cover the slow shuffle of a busy morning.
JW Marriott Miami sits at 1109 Brickell Avenue, just south of the Miami River in the Brickell district. The neighborhood stacks banking towers and rooftop restaurants a couple of bridges from the cruise terminals, with Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village within a short walk and Simpson Park close by. The ride ends at the hotel’s own entrance rather than a nearby corner, so after a week at sea you step out of the car and into the lobby. For rooms, parking, and check-in questions, the property itself is the source — see JW Marriott Miami’s official page.
From the pier the run to the hotel is short: about 2.4 miles, usually 12 to 14 minutes along Port Boulevard and then US-1. It is one straight shot with no stops, so within a quarter of an hour of leaving the terminal your party is at the door in Brickell, cruise luggage and all. Weekend mornings crowd the port as several ships unload at once, which is why the pickup is timed to your actual walk-off rather than a fixed clock, with the short US-1 stretch already accounted for.
Booking runs on a 50% deposit that holds your exact date, with the remaining half paid to the driver on the day of the ride. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is part of the service, and the deposit goes through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent over WhatsApp or the website. A child seat for a little one under five is included on the first request, and each additional seat adds $15. If you want to pause on the way — a quick errand or a second address — extra stops run $45 for each 30 minutes, arranged before the day so the driver can plan for them. Every fare here is one-way, so a round trip is simply the two legs booked together.
Daytime pickups fall between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM at the listed rate. Ships and flights keep their own schedules, though, so anything outside that window carries a small surcharge that depends on the vehicle:
If customs and disembarkation drag, or the ship simply reaches PortMiami behind schedule, the pickup shifts with it. We track the vessel’s posted and actual arrival and move the meeting time to match, with no re-booking and no change to the fare. The reserved car stays yours, so you never scramble for a new ride at the curb.
Yes, it is fully private. The vehicle carries only your party from the terminal to JW Marriott Miami — no strangers and no detours to pick up other passengers. Whether you choose the SUV or a van, the whole run to Brickell belongs to your group alone.
You can. Tell us when you book and the driver builds the extra address or errand into the route; added stops are billed at $45 per 30 minutes. Arranging it ahead keeps the arrival in Brickell on schedule.
Book both legs at once and the same flat one-way rate applies to each direction. On your sailing date the driver returns to collect you in Brickell and runs you back to your cruise terminal, timed to your boarding window. Reserving the round trip together keeps one driver and one confirmed pickup across both directions.
Yes. One seat for a child under five comes with the booking, and each additional seat adds $15. Note the ages and the number of seats when you reserve so the right hardware is fitted before pickup.
Reserve your private transfer to JW Marriott Miami by message and lock the vehicle for your sailing date. Send your ship, terminal, date, party size, and any child-seat needs, and we confirm the pickup time and the fare for your group.

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.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
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, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
My husband and I had a great sailing and capped it off with a private car ready at the curb to take us to JW Marriott Miami — not one worry at the terminal. No lot to comb through — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
Éramos nove descendo no PortMiami, e um traslado privativo até JW Marriott Miami foi o jeito fácil. A última coisa que se quer depois de uma semana no mar é uma viagem que não acontece, e esta foi confiável e pontual. Fomos do navio à recepção de JW Marriott Miami sem estresse nenhum.
Stepping off the ship on my own, the last thing I wanted was to sort out transport at the port, so I had a private car booked ahead for the run to JW Marriott Miami.
Right on schedule, professional, and the driver knew the terminal perfectly. The van was spotless, a relief in the Miami heat.
Traveling with the whole family, we arranged a private van to meet us at the cruise terminal and take everyone over to JW Marriott Miami.
