From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to SoBe 12th and Ocean Suites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
SoBe 12th and Ocean Suites sits right in South Beach, with the shoreline only a short walk from the front door. That closeness is the whole appeal for cruisers coming off a ship: plenty of guests swap the pool deck for real sand the same afternoon they step ashore, then wander back to their room without ever hailing a ride. The property puts you in the heart of the neighborhood rather than on its edge, so the beach, the cafes, and the evening crowds are all within reach on foot.
The surrounding streets carry most of what draws people to this stretch of coast. Lincoln Road Mall, with its open-air shopping and sidewalk tables, is close by, and so is the Art Deco Historic District, where the pastel facades and neon signs give South Beach its look. Espanola Way and the New World Center round out the walkable options, which means a full afternoon or evening can be built without moving the car once you have settled in.
For many travelers this is where the trip pauses between the ship and the flight home, or the night before an embarkation morning. Cruisers often book a stay here the evening before they sail, using the beach, the Ocean Drive people-watching, and the nearby shopping as an easy last stop before the terminal. Whichever direction you are heading, the door itself is the finish line, and your ride sets you down there with your bags beside you.
Your driver is staged at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, timed to disembarkation, so the vehicle is waiting before you clear the customs hall rather than the other way around. There is a half hour of free wait built into every port pickup, which keeps a slow line from costing you the ride. Once your group is together, the bags go into the vehicle for you and the trip is yours alone, one group per car, straight to the door at SoBe 12th and Ocean Suites.
From the port the route runs about 5.7 miles, usually 17 to 19 minutes depending on the hour, following SR A1A and MacArthur Causeway across to South Beach. There are no added stops and no strangers sharing the seats. At the property your chauffeur pulls up at the entrance and carries the luggage to the curb beside you, and the same flat one-way rate covers the reverse leg on embarkation day if you book both directions together.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
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.
The kids were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to SoBe 12th and Ocean Suites in one piece. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to lift a thing. There was a name sign at the curb, so we knew right where to go.
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and a smooth ride over to SoBe 12th and Ocean Suites.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to SoBe 12th and Ocean Suites. The van was clean, cool, and comfortable, a relief in the Miami heat. No line to stand in — we just went straight from the curb into the car. No stress at all.
Sacar a todos del barco y hasta SoBe 12th and Ocean Suites suele ser un dolor de cabeza, pero una van privada reservada lo hizo sin esfuerzo. La noche anterior recibimos un texto con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no había duda de cuál era el auto al salir.
Sin líos de apps — bajamos del barco y un auto privado y limpio ya esperaba, y directo a SoBe 12th and Ocean Suites. Lo reservaría de nuevo. Había un cartel con nuestro nombre en la salida, así que ubicamos al conductor al instante.
