From $89 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to AC & Element Hotel Brickell Miami.
These are flat, one-way rates for the whole vehicle between Port of Miami and AC & Element Hotel Brickell Miami; the figure you see when you book is the figure you pay.
Cruise mornings move in waves, so the pickup is timed to your ship instead of a fixed clock.
Offer us the cruise line and the sailing date and the driver stages at the correct terminal on Dodge Island. Passengers carrying only cabin bags commonly clear the hall first, while groups waiting on checked luggage follow a little later, and either way a message reaches your phone as you step off the gangway. Meet-and-greet comes with every booking, so someone is on hand to take the bags from the terminal doors to the vehicle while your party gets settled.
From the pier the journey is one direct leg of about 5.7 miles along Biscayne Boulevard and US-1, ending at the hotel entrance at 115 SW 8 St.
Nobody else shares the car and there are no collection stops on the way — the vehicle carries your group alone, straight from the cruise terminal to the door. Because the route follows the bayfront before crossing into downtown, most of the drive runs on city streets rather than open highway, which keeps the arrival time steady even on a busy turnaround Saturday.
The drop-off at 115 SW 8 St sits on the downtown edge of Brickell, a short reach from the districts most cruise visitors come to see. Brickell’s dining rows and waterfront are close by, the Miami Design District and its storefronts lie a little to the north, and the murals of Wynwood Walls along with the cafés of Little Havana both create easy follow-on outings once you have dropped your bags. Naming the exact building when you book lets the driver set the drop at the right entrance rather than a general block.
Count on roughly 13 to 15 minutes from the terminal to the hotel door, a touch more when several ships clear at the same hour.
Your driver is staged before you finish walking out of the terminal hall, so the waiting sits on their side of the journey rather than yours. Once the bags are loaded, Biscayne Boulevard and US-1 carry the ride the rest of the way with no connections to create and no line to stand in.
Yes. The driver comes to the terminal curb on Dodge Island and is guided to your group by message as you exit with your bags. Offer us the cruise line when you book and the vehicle is staged at the matching terminal. Add a name sign if you would like one held where you clear the building.
Yes. Everyone else in the party travels together in the same private car.

Reservé y llegaron. Nada que reprochar, absolutamente nada.
Los pequeños estaban sin energía cuando bajamos, y una van privada ahí en la terminal llevó a todos a Ac & Element Hotel Brickell Miami antes de que alguien colapsara. Ya guardamos el contacto para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami. El viaje de la terminal a Ac & Element Hotel Brickell Miami fue silencioso y relajado, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero.
Comfortable ride, no waiting around, and a driver who handled the terminal like a pro. Recommend. We’ve already saved them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
My wife and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was right there for us to take us to Ac & Element Hotel Brickell Miami. No scramble at the port — we just went straight from the curb into the car. There was a board with our name on it at the exit, so we knew right where to go.
Stepping off the ship solo, the last thing I wanted was to drag my bags around looking for a ride at the port, so I had a private car booked ahead for the run to Ac & Element Hotel Brickell Miami. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
