From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to JW Marriott 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included; a name-sign welcome is available for an extra $20. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
JW Marriott sits in Aventura, the residential and shopping district that spreads north of downtown Miami between the ocean and the marina-lined Intracoastal. Its address is 19999 West Country Club Drive, a resort-style setting where high-rise towers rise around greens and waterways, and the Intracoastal threads quietly between the buildings. It is the kind of stay that puts you close to the water without putting you in the middle of the crowds.
What makes the location work is everything within easy reach. Aventura Mall, one of the largest shopping centers in the region, sits nearby, and Gulfstream Park adds its own mix of shops, dining, and racing just up the road. Turnberry Isle and Founders Park round out the neighborhood, giving you golf, green space, and a walkable stretch of Aventura once you have settled in. For travelers who like a base that balances shopping, water views, and quiet, this corner of Aventura earns its place.
Arriving straight from the ship, you reach the entrance with your group together and your bags carried to the curb beside you. From there the stay is yours to enjoy the towers, the Intracoastal, and the shops of Aventura are all right outside. Anything about the property itself is best confirmed with JW Marriott directly; getting you there comfortably and on time is our part of the day.
The ride begins the moment your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur tracks the ship’s arrival and is waiting at the curb as you walk out, so there is no searching and no line the vehicle is reserved for your group alone. Bags go straight into the SUV or van, everyone climbs in together, and the car pulls away for JW Marriott with no stops along the way.
From the port the route follows I-95 north toward Aventura, and the driver handles the traffic while you settle in. Disembarkation rarely runs to the exact minute, so the pickup is planned around when your ship actually clears rather than a fixed slot, with complimentary wait time built in to cover customs and the luggage hall. You step off the ship, the vehicle is there, and JW Marriott is the next stop.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
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.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
Yes for the details: add a passenger, a child seat or a note up to 12 hours before the pickup time. No for the date, which stays as booked.
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.
Para um desembarque sem estresse, minha esposa e eu combinamos de um motorista privativo nos esperar no terminal de cruzeiros e nos levar até JW Marriott. Na noite anterior recebemos uma mensagem com o nome do motorista e a placa, então não teve que adivinhar no meio-fio na saída. Tínhamos uma confirmação clara, então não havia o que adivinhar no porto.
We booked one van for the whole group from the terminal to JW Marriott so we all checked in together. We went from the ship to the front desk of JW Marriott with nothing to worry about in between. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship.
Getting all of us off the ship and over to JW Marriott is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
We reserved one van for the entire crew from the terminal to JW Marriott so nobody got left behind. No lot to comb through — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
Los pequeños estaban medio dormidos cuando bajamos, y una van privada ya en la acera llevó a todos a JW Marriott antes de que alguien colapsara. La noche anterior recibimos un texto con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no quedaba nada por resolver al salir.
