From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Oceanfront Contemporary Suites 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 curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Oceanfront Contemporary Suites sits right on the coast in Mid-Beach, the stretch of Miami Beach where Collins Avenue runs its long line of resort towers and the sand starts just past the lobby doors. This is the oceanfront side of the barrier island, so the water is not a drive away — it is the view. The building faces the Atlantic, and the address here is defined more by the beach and the boulevard than by any single landmark.
Step outside and the neighborhood does the rest. The Miami Beach Boardwalk traces the shore for the full length of Mid-Beach, an easy path north or south along the dunes without ever crossing traffic. A few blocks on, the Faena District threads an arts scene between the high-rises, its galleries and public works giving the resort row a cultural pulse it would otherwise lack. Indian Creek sits close by on the bay side, framing the district between ocean and water.
For a traveler coming off a cruise, the appeal is the simplicity of it. Collins Avenue keeps its restaurants, shops, and hotel frontage within a short walk, so an afternoon after the ship rarely needs a plan more elaborate than dropping the bags and heading for the sand. Anything about the stay itself — rooms, check-in, house policies — lives on the property’s own official page; our part is getting you and your luggage to its door in one clean run so the beach can be the first thing you do.
This is a door-to-door private transfer that starts the moment your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur is coordinated by message as you exit the hall and meets you curbside at your ship’s own terminal — not out in a parking lot — and every bag goes straight into the vehicle reserved for your party alone. There is no line to join and no luggage to drag across the port; you settle in and the ride begins.
From the pier it is a single run to the coast, about 9.9 miles along the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195, ending right at the entrance of Oceanfront Contemporary Suites. Count on roughly 26 to 28 minutes terminal to door depending on traffic, which on this route is the only real variable. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, the pace of customs never costs you the ride.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
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.
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.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
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.
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.
Depois da travessia, meu marido e eu não íamos nos arriscar com um transporte no terminal, então reservamos um carro privativo até Oceanfront Contemporary Suites. O motorista nos deixou direto em frente a Oceanfront Contemporary Suites, e não meio quarteirão adiante.
Éramos seis bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a Oceanfront Contemporary Suites fue mucho más simple que dividirnos en autos. La tarifa estaba fija desde la reserva, sin sorpresas en una mañana de desembarque cargada. Había un buen período de gracia desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para pasar la aduana. Hizo el desembarque facilísimo.
I didn’t feel like chasing a ride the morning I got off the ship, so I reserved a private car from the terminal to Oceanfront Contemporary Suites. Booking was quick, I got clear pickup details, and everything went exactly as planned. I went from the ship to the front desk of Oceanfront Contemporary Suites with zero hassle along the way.
No íbamos a batallar con los pequeños y el equipaje buscando transporte en el puerto, así que coordinamos una van privada a Oceanfront Contemporary Suites. Pasamos del barco a la recepción de Oceanfront Contemporary Suites sin estrés alguno. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin nadie a quien esperar — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos.
My husband and I walked off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Oceanfront Contemporary Suites. The van was fresh and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
