From $89 per vehicle — a private black SUV or van transfer to or from Port of Miami and Andaz Miami Beach Resort & Spa runs 12 miles (19.3 km) in about 20–35 minutes door to door, at a flat rate. A bilingual driver meets your group curbside at the cruise terminal, with room for every piece of cruise luggage and a fare locked the moment you book.
The price is set per vehicle by passenger count, so your whole group rides for one flat figure.
The simplest way off the ship and onto Collins Avenue is a private vehicle booked ahead, matched to your party size. Pick the Black SUV for up to 5 travelers, the smaller van for 6 to 9, or the larger van for 10 to 14. After you clear the terminal, your driver is already parked curbside at the exit, ready to load cruise suitcases, carry-ons, and beach gear straight into the trunk. From there it is a single, direct ride across Biscayne Bay to the resort entrance — no transfers, no waiting for a second leg, no stops you did not ask for. Reserve through WhatsApp or the website, send your ship name and arrival date, and the rest is handled before you ever step off the gangway.
Your driver waits at the curb outside your assigned cruise terminal as your group walks out. Request a name sign over WhatsApp in advance and the driver holds it at the exit, so you spot the vehicle immediately and roll your luggage straight over without circling the pickup lane.
The ride takes about 24 minutes off-peak and up to 35 minutes at peak across the 9 miles to Mid-Beach. The faster end applies in quieter windows, when the causeways flow and the port exits are clear. The longer end shows up on heavy disembarkation mornings — when several ships release passengers at once, the terminal access roads and the bridge onto Collins Avenue fill up, and that congestion, not distance, adds the extra minutes. Your driver factors the day’s ship schedule into the pickup plan, so the timing you are quoted already accounts for whether you are stepping off into a calm morning or a three-ship rush. Either way, it is a short hop compared with most port transfers in the region.
Andaz Miami Beach Resort & Spa stands on Collins Avenue in the Mid-Beach stretch, a calmer, design-forward pocket between the buzz of South Beach and the quieter sands to the north. Guests step into a beachfront property built around its spa, pools, and direct sand access, with dining and lounge spaces aimed at unwinding the moment you arrive off the ship. You can read room details and amenities on the official Andaz Miami Beach hotel page, or if you are sailing back out the same day, check availability for a Mid-Beach pool and spa day pass. Either way, your driver delivers you straight to the resort entrance so you are checking in or poolside within minutes.
If you want to be close, the Mid-Beach corridor along Collins Avenue keeps you on the same quiet beachfront strip. For a livelier base, the South Beach area sits a short drive south, while the neighborhoods toward Sunny Isles offer more space to the north. Our transfer drops you at whichever address you choose.
Mid-Beach pairs an uncrowded shoreline with the boardwalk that links it to South Beach’s restaurants and nightlife. You are minutes from the Atlantic sand, oceanfront dining along Collins Avenue, and easy rides toward the Art Deco district. It is a relaxed landing spot after days at sea.
The ride is door-to-door, so you are dropped at the Andaz Miami Beach Resort & Spa entrance on Collins Avenue — not a curb blocks away. Your driver pulls up to the hotel, helps unload your cruise luggage, and you walk straight in to check in, no extra leg required.
Yes — disembarkation morning is exactly what this transfer is built for. Send your ship and date when booking, and the driver is parked curbside at your terminal exit as you walk off. Even on hectic multi-ship mornings, your reserved vehicle is waiting rather than something you scramble to locate.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person, so your whole party rides for the single flat price tied to your vehicle tier. Whether it is two travelers in the SUV or a dozen in the larger van, the figure does not multiply by head count — one booking covers everyone.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
