From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Miami Suites South Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The terminal greeting is covered by the fare and a name sign is offered for $20. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Miami Suites South Beach puts you inside the classic South Beach postcard — the pastel Art Deco facades of Ocean Drive, the sand at Lummus Park, and the pedestrian energy of Española Way and Lincoln Road all folded into one walkable grid. The neighborhood sits right on the coast, so the ocean is never more than a short stroll from the door, and the streets around the property carry the look most travelers picture before they arrive.
Because South Beach concentrates so much into a compact area, arrival day is easy to shape around whatever you feel like doing. Drop your bags at Miami Suites South Beach and the water is close enough to walk to, which makes a beach afternoon the natural next move after a cruise. Guests staying here often work in Ocean Drive and the Lincoln Road Mall soon after coming ashore, with the Art Deco Historic District and the New World Center also close by within South Beach.
The property itself handles the hotel-side details — amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in among them — so you can settle in at your own pace once the ride ends. What matters for your transfer is that the address is a known one: your driver brings the group straight to the entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you, with no walk across the port and no luggage-drag through the neighborhood. From the terminal to this door is one direct ride, and the rest of South Beach opens up from there on foot.
The run from PortMiami to Miami Suites South Beach is a short one. Once your group clears the cruise terminal, the driver is already coordinated and waiting at the curb by your ship, so there is no line to join and no scramble with bags on the sidewalk. Your luggage goes into the vehicle, everyone rides together, and the car pulls away when your party is ready rather than on a fixed slot.
From the port the route follows MacArthur Causeway and SR A1A into South Beach, a trip that normally takes 14 to 16 minutes depending on traffic along the causeway. Because the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, a busy road is the only real variable. The driver takes you straight to the entrance of Miami Suites South Beach and carries every bag from the vehicle to the curb, door to door.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. A child seat is $15 on request, and any added stop is $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.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
Como crucerista solo, coordiné un traslado privado de PortMiami a Miami Suites South Beach para el día en que desembarqué, y fue la mejor decisión del viaje. Había treinta minutos de margen desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuve que apurarme para pasar la aduana.
We cruised with a big crew and wanted everyone and the luggage in one private ride to Miami Suites South Beach after disembarking. No line to stand in — we just stepped out and the car was ready. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
For an easy morning off the ship, my wife and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Miami Suites South Beach. The ride from the terminal to Miami Suites South Beach was smooth and steady, and we could just watch the city go by. The fare was set up front, nothing added at the curb.
La forma fácil de ir del barco a Miami Suites South Beach. Muy recomendable.
Right on schedule, professional, and the driver had the exits down cold. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
