From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Venezia Hotel By At Mine Hospitality 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.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside meet-and-greet costs nothing extra; the inside name-sign welcome adds $20.
Venezia Hotel By At Mine Hospitality sits in Mid-Beach, the stretch of Collins Avenue where the resort row lines up between the ocean and the bay. It is a Miami Beach address with the water close on one side and the causeways feeding in from the mainland on the other, which keeps it handy to both the sand and the rest of the city. For a traveler stepping off a cruise, it lands you in one of the calmer, more residential pockets of the beach rather than the busiest tourist core.
The setting is what gives the stay its character. The oceanfront boardwalk runs the full length of this part of the shoreline, so a walk along the water is a matter of steps rather than a drive. A few blocks in either direction put you near the Faena District, where an arts scene has grown up between the towers, and the Bass Museum of Art sits within the same Mid-Beach cluster. Collins Avenue itself carries you north through resort row or south toward the livelier ends of the beach whenever you feel like moving.
On arrival you find a spot built for settling in after a sailing. The neighborhood keeps the essentials close — the beach, the boardwalk, the galleries and the museum — without asking you to fight the density of the southern strip. A night or two on the sand or a longer base for exploring farther out both suit the Mid-Beach position, which gives you the ocean at your doorstep and easy roads back toward the port, the airport, and downtown when it is time to head on.
The ride is a single private leg from the cruise terminal to the hotel door. After you disembark, your chauffeur is already staged at the terminal your ship uses, meets you at the curb, and loads every bag so your hands are free. From there it runs about 8.9 miles by way of the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 — a direct route across to Mid-Beach with no detours and no other passengers to collect.
Terminal curb to hotel door usually takes 23 to 25 minutes in normal traffic, and the pickup is timed to your actual arrival rather than a fixed clock, so a slow walk through customs and the luggage hall does not cost you the car. The vehicle stays yours alone from the port to Venezia Hotel By At Mine Hospitality, with the luggage locked in the back the whole way.
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.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
Late is fine: the SUV night fee is $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 outside them for pickups between 9 PM and 7 AM. A stop on the route runs $45 per 30 minutes, and a child seat is $15.
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.
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.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
I didn’t want to gamble on a ride the morning I got off the ship, so I arranged a private car from the port to Venezia Hotel By At Mine Hospitality. The fare was set up front, nothing added at the curb.
After our sailing, my partner and I didn’t feel like chasing a ride at the terminal, so we lined up a private car to Venezia Hotel By At Mine Hospitality. No lot to comb through — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs.
My partner and I weren’t up for the chaos outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Venezia Hotel By At Mine Hospitality before we even sailed. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal. An easy, smooth handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Venezia Hotel By At Mine Hospitality with nothing left to sort out.
My wife and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Venezia Hotel By At Mine Hospitality. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when we needed it. Getting to Venezia Hotel By At Mine Hospitality with no detours meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
The kids were half asleep when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to Venezia Hotel By At Mine Hospitality before anyone lost it. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs.
