From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Royal Budget Inn 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Royal Budget Inn sits at 7422 Biscayne Blvd, on the Biscayne Boulevard spine that runs north out of downtown. That address drops you into the Wynwood and Midtown side of the city, so the streets around your stay lean toward galleries, food halls, and the kind of walk-and-look afternoon that arts-minded travelers plan a trip around.
Step out the door and the neighborhood does the rest. The Wynwood Walls, the district’s outdoor murals, sit within easy reach, along with the indie galleries and food halls that give the area its pull. The Miami Design District and its luxury storefronts are close by, Midtown Miami rounds out the shopping and dining, and the Rubell Museum keeps a serious contemporary-art collection just over in Wynwood. It is a compact, creative pocket of the city rather than a beachfront strip.
For a traveler coming straight off a ship, the appeal is how directly it connects to the port. Royal Budget Inn is a short run inland from the cruise terminals, so you trade the terminal curb for your room without a long haul across town. Settle in, drop the bags, and the murals, cafes, and storefronts of Wynwood and the Design District are yours to explore on foot. The location is built for people who want art and neighborhood texture over resort polish, and it keeps the rest of Miami, from Downtown to the Grove, an easy onward hop.
Your chauffeur is staged for your ship’s arrival and meets your group at the terminal curb on Dodge Island. The bags go straight into the vehicle, and from there it is one direct leg to Royal Budget Inn by Biscayne Boulevard and US-1, no stops and no luggage-drag across the port. The route runs roughly 5.3 miles and normally takes 22 to 25 minutes, with traffic on those two roads the only real variable.
Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, the pace of customs never costs you the ride. You clear the terminal, walk to the curb, and step into a private vehicle reserved for your group alone. The driver handles the luggage at both ends, so the arrival-day rhythm stays simple: off the ship, bags to the car, one clean run to your door at 7422 Biscayne Blvd.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Disembarking alone, I had a driver there with my name on a sign for the ride to Royal Budget Inn — zero hassle. There was a board with my name on it at the curb, so I knew right where to go. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was rock solid.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car meet us at the terminal for the ride over to Royal Budget Inn took all the stress out of it.
For an easy morning off the ship, my husband and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Royal Budget Inn.
De crucero con la familia, no queríamos caos el día del desembarque, así que una van privada esperando en la terminal Royal Budget Inn nos hizo el día. Reservar fue fácil, recibimos los datos de recogida claros, y todo salió tal cual. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin recoger a nadie más — justo lo indicado para esa mañana.
We cruised with a group of friends and wanted the whole group in one private ride to Royal Budget Inn after disembarking. Getting to Royal Budget Inn with no detours meant we could drop the bags and start the day. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to juggle it all. Highly recommend.
