From $150 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Stay Inn boutique 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included; a name-sign welcome is available for an extra $20. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Stay Inn boutique hotel is a smaller, personal place to base yourself once the cruise is behind you, sitting where Hallandale and Dania Beach meet along the county line. It is the kind of property that keeps things simple: a lobby door to walk through, a room to drop into, and a stretch of South Florida coast just outside. Your driver runs straight here from the ship, so the first thing you handle on land is checking in rather than sorting out transport.
The area around the hotel gives you plenty to do without going far. Gulfstream Park brings racing along with shopping and places to eat, while Dania Pointe adds a run of outlets and restaurants a short hop away. For a slower afternoon, the old-Florida fishing pier at Dania Beach is close by, and design lovers can wander the showrooms at the Design Center of the Americas. Because Hallandale and Dania Beach sit right on the water, a beach afternoon is the natural move once your bags are down.
For anything to do with the room itself, parking, or check-in timing, the hotel is the one to ask, since those details belong to the property and can change. What the transfer covers is the part between the terminal and the front door: one private vehicle for your group, a bilingual chauffeur, and help with every bag from curb to lobby. You arrive rested, pointed at the coast, and free to start the trip on your own schedule rather than a shuttle’s.
This is a straight, terminal-to-door run. Your chauffeur meets your group at the exact terminal your cruise line uses on Dodge Island, coordinates by message as you come out of the hall, and loads the luggage at the curb. From there it is a single direct leg to Stay Inn boutique hotel along I-95, with no stops and no shuffling between vehicles. The car is reserved for your party alone, so the whole group travels together for one flat fare.
Plan on about 22.8 miles between the Port of Miami and the hotel, which runs 40 to 57 minutes depending on the hour. Traffic on I-95 is the only real variable, and that is exactly why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare instead of a slot cut to the minute. There is built-in wait time at the port, so customs and disembarkation lines never cost you the ride.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
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.
A child seat can be installed for $15 when you book. Night service, meaning 9 PM to 7 AM, adds $20 to the SUV inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. Extra stops are metered at $45 per 30 minutes.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
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.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Stay Inn boutique hotel. Getting to Stay Inn boutique hotel first thing meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea. No lot to comb through — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
Getting the whole party off the ship and over to Stay Inn boutique hotel is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. There was space to spare for the whole group and all our cruise luggage in one van to Stay Inn boutique hotel. For a reliable way to get from the ship to Stay Inn boutique hotel, it was money well spent.
The little ones were done after a week at sea when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Stay Inn boutique hotel with no drama. No app to fight with — we just went straight from the curb into the car.
Me quitó toda la preocupación de bajar del barco — facilísimo. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Stay Inn boutique hotel took all the stress out of it. The fare was locked in at booking, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning.
