From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Miami Downtown Vacation Suites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Miami Downtown Vacation Suites is a stay in the heart of Downtown Miami, set among the towers and waterfront blocks that rise just behind the cruise port. It is one of those addresses that keeps the whole city within reach the moment you step out the door, with Biscayne Boulevard and the bay a short walk in one direction and the terminals of the Port of Miami close by in the other.
The neighborhood around it is where Miami puts its landmarks side by side. Bayside Marketplace sits on the water with its shops and open-air dining, and the Perez Art Museum Miami anchors Museum Park a few minutes away. Bayfront Park spreads its green along Biscayne Bay, and the Kaseya Center draws crowds on game and concert nights. Everything clusters between Biscayne Boulevard and the water, so a full day rarely calls for more than your own two feet.
What most guests notice on arrival is how compact it all feels after a cruise. You are ashore, in the middle of Downtown Miami, with restaurants, art, and the bay overlapping in the same handful of blocks. For a traveler stepping off the ship, that means the vacation starts the instant the vehicle pulls up to the entrance, no long haul into the city required before the trip really begins.
Your chauffeur meets you at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, after you clear customs and the luggage hall. The 30-minute wait window is built into the plan, so there is no watching an app or hunting for a car in the crowd. You walk out, the reserved vehicle is there, and your bags go straight in with the driver’s help.
From the terminal the route follows Port Boulevard toward Downtown Miami, a short hop of roughly 8 to 10 minutes depending on the hour and the cruise-morning crowd. The whole group rides together, luggage in the vehicle, and the driver drops you right at the entrance of Miami Downtown Vacation Suites with the bags carried to the curb beside you. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
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 SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
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.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
Nossa família de cinco desceu do navio no PortMiami e o motorista tinha espaço para cada mala para a viagem até Miami Downtown Vacation Suites. Tínhamos todo o plano antes mesmo de o navio atracar, então não havia o que adivinhar no porto. A tarifa estava fixa desde a reserva, sem nada a mais no meio-fio.
Comfortable ride, no waiting around, and a driver who handled the terminal like a pro. Recommend. The night before, I got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out.
Privado, a tiempo, y no tuvimos que pensar en nada entre el barco y Miami Downtown Vacation Suites.
Todo nuestro grupo bajamos juntos y fue muy fácil tener una van privada esperando en la terminal para el viaje a Miami Downtown Vacation Suites — sin dividirnos. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue confiable y puntual.
My wife and I weren’t up for the chaos outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Miami Downtown Vacation Suites before we even sailed. We went from the ship to the front desk of Miami Downtown Vacation Suites with no stress at all.
