From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Red South Beach Hotel 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.
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.
Red South Beach Hotel sits in Mid-Beach, the stretch of Miami Beach that runs quieter than the crowds of South Beach while keeping the same ocean at its doorstep. This is Collins Avenue country — a run of oceanfront resorts where the shoreline is only steps from the entrance. Plenty of guests who arrive off a cruise trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they dock, and the property makes that easy: the water is close enough to reach with a towel over your shoulder.
Step outside and the beachwalk is right there. The Miami Beach Boardwalk traces the sand for a long, flat stroll, and the Faena District — one of Mid-Beach’s landmark pockets — sits within reach for an afternoon of looking around. The pace here leans calmer than the neon a few miles down the coast, which is part of why the block draws travelers who want the ocean without the late-night churn of South Beach.
A few blocks south you’ll find the Bass Museum of Art, an easy add for a slower morning, and Indian Creek runs nearby for anyone who likes to wander the quieter edges of the neighborhood. Between the sand, the boardwalk, and the museum, a gap between disembarkation and your next plan fills itself without much effort. Red South Beach Hotel is the kind of base that puts all of it within a short walk, so once your bags are in the room the rest of Mid-Beach opens up on foot.
From the Port of Miami, your driver is already waiting when you clear the terminal, so there’s no line to join and no scramble with luggage on the sidewalk. The bags go straight into the vehicle, your group boards, and the route runs about 7.4 miles along SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway — roughly 24 to 26 minutes, depending on the hour.
The pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed clock, so weekend mornings when thousands of passengers step off at once are already built into the plan. You’re dropped at the entrance of Red South Beach Hotel with your bags carried to the curb beside you, the vehicle yours alone the whole way. It stays a single, direct door-to-door leg from the terminal to Mid-Beach.
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.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
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.
The black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
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.
Bajamos del barco listos para una cama de verdad y un conductor ya esperando para llevarnos a Red South Beach Hotel fue la decisión correcta. Para llegar del barco a Red South Beach Hotel de forma confiable, fue dinero bien gastado. El van estaba con espacio de sobra para todo el equipaje del crucero, con lugar para todo. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
There were nine of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Red South Beach Hotel was the smart move. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when we needed it. We’ve already saved them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
Bajamos del barco listos para una cama de verdad y un auto privado directo a Red South Beach Hotel fue la decisión correcta. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no quedaba nada por resolver al salir. Teníamos una confirmación clara, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto. Sin estrés alguno.
We reserved one van for the entire crew from the terminal to Red South Beach Hotel so nobody got left behind. There was a board with our name on it at the terminal doors, so we spotted the driver immediately.
Traveling with our little ones, we arranged a private van to meet us at the cruise terminal and take everyone over to Red South Beach Hotel. The car seat was already installed, which was a real help that morning.
