From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to AIC Hotel Group 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
AIC Hotel Group sits in Coral Gables, the Mediterranean-revival corner of greater Miami where fountain-lined boulevards set the tone and the architecture leans refined rather than flashy. It is a short, direct run from the cruise terminals at the Port of Miami, close enough that your group can step off the ship and be at the door in well under half an hour. The property keeps you near the parts of the city that reward slowing down.
What you locate on arrival is a stay wrapped in one of Miami’s most walkable and photogenic districts. Miracle Mile, the shop-and-dine spine of Coral Gables, is close by, as is the historic Biltmore Hotel with its landmark tower. The Venetian Pool, carved from old coral rock, and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden are both within the neighborhood, so an early check-in or a late departure leaves room to wander. The streets here are laid out for strolling, not just driving.
Anything about the stay itself, the rooms, and the amenities lives on AIC Hotel Group’s own official page; our part is the ground transportation to and from your ship. We keep that part personal: one group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur who works the port every week, and a flat rate agreed before you sail. You reach as a single organized pickup at the terminal curb, bags handled from hall to trunk, and ride straight through to the door in Coral Gables with no shared stops and no meter running against you.
This is a door-to-door private transfer between your ship’s terminal and AIC Hotel Group. The chauffeur is organized by message as you clear the disembarkation hall and is staged at the curb when you walk out, so there is no line to join and no app to open. Every bag is loaded at the terminal, your party has the vehicle to itself, and the route runs along US-1 and Southwest 22nd Street as one direct leg toward Coral Gables.
The 7.2-mile journey normally takes 22 to 26 minutes, though weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch as thousands of passengers come off at once. Because the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, that traffic is already built into the plan. Your luggage stays inside the vehicle the whole way, and you step out at the hotel door in Coral Gables.
