From $125 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to PRAIA Hotel Hollywood in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside meet-and-greet costs nothing extra; the inside name-sign welcome adds $20.
PRAIA Hotel Hollywood sits in Hollywood, the coastal town positioned about halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. That in-between spot gives the area a calmer, beach-town pace, and it is the tone you feel the moment you settle into the neighborhood around the property. You are close enough to reach the bigger cities when you want them, yet far enough from the noise to keep your stay unhurried once your ship lets you off and the vacation truly begins.
Step outside and the sea sets the rhythm. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk runs along the water, a wide oceanfront path made for slow strolls, bike rides, and easy meals with a view. A short way inland, ArtsPark at Young Circle gathers green space, events, and local color into one open gathering point. Between the two, you have the shoreline on one side and a community hub on the other, which makes it simple to fill an afternoon without planning much at all.
The wider area keeps the options coming. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is one of the region’s larger draws and sits nearby for an evening out, while West Lake Park offers quieter, greener ground for anyone who wants the outdoors instead. For rooms, parking, check-in times, and anything specific to the building itself, the hotel’s own official page is the reliable source. What matters for your ride is that PRAIA Hotel Hollywood is an easy, direct place to reach from the cruise terminal, and your chauffeur delivers you right to its entrance.
The trip runs from the PortMiami cruise terminal straight to PRAIA Hotel Hollywood, covering roughly 19.9 miles by way of I-95. Plan on about 39 to 56 minutes on the road, depending on the hour and the traffic that day. Once your group clears the terminal exit, the car is staged at the curb and your chauffeur handles the bags, so the whole distance is a single direct leg rather than a series of stops. Everything you carry stays in the vehicle with you from the terminal to the hotel door.
Because the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, you are not left waiting on availability, and there is 30 minutes of courtesy wait built in at the port in case the walk-off runs long. Weekend mornings are the busiest, with thousands leaving the ships at once, so that I-95 traffic is already accounted for in the plan. Your chauffeur is bilingual in Spanish and English and knows the port, and the vehicle is yours alone the entire way.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
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.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
Mi pareja y yo salimos del barco en PortMiami y había un auto privado esperando en la acera de la terminal para llevarnos a PRAIA Hotel Hollywood. Había un cartel con nuestro nombre junto a las puertas de la terminal, así que ubicamos al conductor sin dar vueltas. La noche anterior recibimos un texto con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no quedaba nada por resolver al salir.
We cruised with a big crew and wanted everyone and the luggage in one private ride to PRAIA Hotel Hollywood after disembarking. No scramble at the port — we just stepped out and the car was ready. We were dropped straight at the door of PRAIA Hotel Hollywood, not on a corner with the bags.
De crucero con los niños, no queríamos caos el día del desembarque, así que una van privada directo hasta PRAIA Hotel Hollywood fue perfecto. La sillita para el niño estaba ya instalada, lo que fue una gran ayuda esa mañana.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to PRAIA Hotel Hollywood. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was rock solid.
De crucero con los niños, queríamos el puerto resuelto, así que una van privada esperando en la terminal PRAIA Hotel Hollywood nos hizo el día. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — el puerto quedó totalmente resuelto. El conductor se encargó de cada bolso para que no tuviéramos que hacer fuerza.
