From $120 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Resorts Advantage in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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 curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Resorts Advantage sits at 9500 S Dadeland Blvd, Suite 300, in the Kendall and South Miami-Dade district south of the cruise port. It is the address your private ride carries you to directly from the terminal — one group, one vehicle, straight to the door with no detours along the way. The setting is suburban Dade at its greenest, a part of the county built around wide streets, shade trees, and the shopping core at Dadeland rather than the high-rise bustle closer to the water.
The neighborhood gives arriving travelers plenty to reach once they have settled in. Dadeland Mall anchors the area for shopping, while Pinecrest Gardens offers open green space a little further out. Along Biscayne Bay, the Deering Estate pairs historic grounds with waterfront views, and Baptist Hospital stands nearby for anyone who needs it. Together they make Kendall and South Miami-Dade a comfortable, self-contained base after a week at sea.
On arrival your chauffeur brings you to the exact spot you booked — the Suite 300 address itself or the streets immediately around your stay in Kendall and South Miami-Dade. Bags are handled at the curb, so you step out of the vehicle and into your destination without wrestling luggage across a parking lot. Because the run is private and reserved ahead, the drop-off is planned around where you actually need to be, and the whole party arrives together at the same door at the same moment.
The trip is one clean run from the pier to Resorts Advantage — about 17 miles along SR-836 and the Palmetto Expressway, generally 31 to 44 minutes depending on the hour. Your driver is staged at your ship’s own terminal as you clear the hall, meets the group at the curb, and loads the luggage so nothing travels separately. From there it is a straight ride south to the Dadeland address with no shared stops.
Cruise mornings rarely release everyone at once, so the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with a 30-minute wait built in to cover customs and the luggage hall. You walk out, the vehicle is already there, and your bags stay with you in the same car the entire way. Traffic on SR-836 and the Palmetto is the only real variable, which is why the timing leaves room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
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.
Our family of six came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded every cruise bag for the ride to Resorts Advantage. Booking was quick, we got clear pickup details, and everything matched what we were told.
Stepping off the ship, having the ride already handled to Resorts Advantage was exactly what I needed. It was a private car just for me — nobody else to wait on — a relief after a week aboard.
As a solo cruiser I arranged a private transfer from the terminal to Resorts Advantage for disembarkation morning, and it could not have been easier. The ride from the terminal to Resorts Advantage was smooth and steady, and I could just unwind after the cruise. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was reliable and on time. Highly recommend.
Los dos salimos en crucero desde PortMiami y tener un auto privado esperándonos en la terminal para el viaje hasta Resorts Advantage nos quitó todo el estrés. Había un buen período de gracia desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para pasar la aduana. Llegar a Resorts Advantage a primera hora significó que pudimos instalarnos sin esperar.
For a smooth morning off the ship, my husband and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Resorts Advantage. The fare was locked in at booking, nothing added at the curb. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — a relief after a week aboard.
