From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ressidence inn West Doral in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Residence Inn West Doral sits in Doral, the corner of Miami that runs on two rhythms at once: business travel on weekdays and golf-and-getaway energy the rest of the time. Corporate Miami shares the same grid here as the dining and open-air feel of CityPlace Doral and the famous golf resort nearby, so the address works equally well for a work trip, a tournament weekend, or a night before an early flight.
What you find on arrival is a base that keeps everything close. CityPlace Doral and Trump National Doral are near at hand for dinner or a round of golf, and Downtown Doral and the Palmetto Expressway are close by when you want to move across the city. That mix of restaurants, greens, and quick highway access is what pulls golfers and business travelers to this pocket of Doral in the first place, and it is why so many cruise passengers choose to end their day here rather than fight across town.
The point of a private transfer is to hand you that arrival cleanly. You come off the ship, your chauffeur is already staged, and the ride ends at the door of Residence Inn West Doral with your bags carried both ends of the trip. One group per vehicle, a chauffeur who speaks Spanish and English, and a single locked fare from the first message to the curb. No shuttle line, no dragging luggage across the port, just a direct handoff from the terminal to your room in Doral.
This is a terminal-to-door run of roughly 13.4 miles, and it moves as a single direct leg. Your driver watches the port schedule and shifts the pickup to your ship’s actual arrival, so the timing follows you rather than a guess made weeks earlier. When you clear the hall, the driver is already at the terminal curb on Dodge Island, coordinated by message as you walk off. Self-assist walkers are often out within the first hour; groups with checked luggage a little later. Either way the wait is the driver’s, not yours.
Once your bags are loaded at the curb, the route runs SR-836 straight toward Doral, which keeps the trip to one clean leg of about 29 to 36 minutes depending on traffic. Your luggage rides in the vehicle the whole way, gas and standard tolls are already inside the flat fare, and the ride ends at the entrance of Residence Inn West Doral with bag assistance at the 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.
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.
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.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
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.
As a solo cruiser I lined up a private transfer from the port to Ressidence inn West Doral for the morning I got off, and it was the best call of the trip.
After our week aboard, my wife and I didn’t feel like chasing a ride at the terminal, so we lined up a private car to Ressidence inn West Doral. The ride from the terminal to Ressidence inn West Doral was easy the whole way, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
The group of us walked off together and it was a relief to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Ressidence inn West Doral — nobody splitting up.
First time cruising on my own out of PortMiami, and having a private car waiting at the terminal for the trip to Ressidence inn West Doral took the worry away. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when I needed it. There was a sign with my name at the exit, so I didn’t have to look around. No stress at all.
No quería pelear por un transporte la mañana en que desembarqué, así que coordiné un auto privado de la terminal a Ressidence inn West Doral. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — del barco a la puerta del hotel sin estrés. El conductor se ocupó de las valijas para que no tuviera que hacer fuerza.
