From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Airport Guest Suites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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 curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Airport Guest Suites is a property in the MIA Airport District, the working corner of Miami that runs on arrivals and departures. This is the part of the city built for transit days: hotel rows lining NW 36th Street, office parks spread along the lakes, and expressways pointing in every direction. If your plan is to sleep close to the terminals and move early, this is the district that makes it simple.
The setting is anchored by Blue Lagoon, the broad lake the whole airport district wraps around, with Miami Springs Golf Course a short reach away for anyone who wants a quiet morning before or after the water. The Dolphin Expressway, or SR-836, sits neighboring, and NW 36th Street runs right alongside, so once you are settled at Airport Guest Suites the rest of the region is only a turn or two away. It is a practical place to land, laid out for people who value being close to the gate and close to the road.
What you locate on arrival is a stay shaped around the airport rhythm rather than the beach one, which is exactly what most cruisers desire on the night before or after a sailing. We handle the ride to and from your ship; anything about the rooms, the front desk, or the amenities lives on Airport Guest Suites’s own official page, and that is the right place to confirm the details of the stay itself. Our part is getting you there cleanly, with the district’s expressways doing the heavy lifting the moment you clear the terminal.
The run leaves the cruise terminals on Dodge Island and heads out along Airport Expressway and SR-112 Toll, a single straight line of about 8.6 miles that ends at the door of Airport Guest Suites. In normal conditions it takes 21 to 27 minutes, though the exact time depends on the hour and how the district’s traffic is moving. There are no stops and no detours; it is one reserved vehicle carrying your party from the pier to the property.
Disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the terminal exits, so your chauffeur is staged and waiting before you clear the luggage hall, and the included wait time absorbs the pace of customs. Every bag is carried into the vehicle for you, curb to trunk, and rides with you the whole way. You walk out, the vehicle is there, and the road to Airport Guest Suites does the rest while you settle in.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.

Servicio impecable. buena onda durante todo el trayecto. no hubo q buscar a nadie, el auto estaba donde dijeron. Nos facilitó el día
Éramos seis bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a Airport Guest Suites fue mucho más simple que dividirnos en autos. Pasamos del barco a la recepción de Airport Guest Suites sin nada de qué preocuparnos en el medio. Había espacio de sobra para todo el grupo y la pila entera de valijas en una sola van hasta Airport Guest Suites.
El desembarque más fácil que he tenido — conductor en la acera, maletas resueltas, directo a la puerta de Airport Guest Suites.
Getting the whole party off the ship and over to Airport Guest Suites is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. We were dropped straight at the door of Airport Guest Suites, not down the block. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Airport Guest Suites was the best part of the day. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out. Getting to Airport Guest Suites with no detours meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
