From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Avalon Hotel Miami in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Avalon Hotel Miami sits in South Beach, inside the Art Deco Historic District — the run of pastel facades and rounded 1930s lines that gives this part of the city its unmistakable look. The property puts you within reach of Ocean Drive, where the sidewalk tables and easy people-watching carry on well into the evening. Step off your ship, settle in, and you are already in one of the most walkable corners of Miami.
Much of what draws people to South Beach is right around the hotel. Lincoln Road Mall, the open-air pedestrian strip lined with shops and cafés, is close by when the plan calls for browsing and a slow lunch. Española Way, with its narrow Mediterranean-style lane, sits neighboring for a quieter stretch of restaurants and small storefronts. Culture is close too: the New World Center is within the neighborhood for anyone who wants an evening beyond the beach.
What makes Avalon Hotel Miami an easy base after a cruise is exactly this compact geography. The Art Deco streets, the shopping on Lincoln Road, and the pull of Ocean Drive are all a short walk from the door, so you spend your time in the city rather than getting to it. Whether you have a single night before the ship or several days after, the hotel places you in the middle of South Beach without needing a car for the neighborhood itself. Reach, drop the luggage, and the district opens up on foot from there.
From the cruise terminal it is a single, direct run to Avalon Hotel Miami — roughly 6.9 miles, about 14 to 16 minutes depending on traffic and the hour, along SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway. Your chauffeur is staged for your ship’s arrival, so once your group clears the terminal exit the car is already at the curb. The luggage goes in, the doors close, and you head straight for South Beach with no line to wait in and no second stop along the way.
The vehicle is yours alone, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. Coming off the ship, the car is waiting with courtesy time built in while you finish disembarkation. Leaving for the port on embarkation day, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and loads everything before you pull away. Either direction, it is one private ride, door to door, timed to your schedule rather than to app availability.

Mi esposo y yo terminamos un crucero buenísimo y lo cerramos con un auto privado esperando en la terminal para llevarnos a Avalon Hotel Miami — sin líos en el puerto. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin nadie a quien esperar — justo lo indicado para esa mañana.
First time cruising on my own out of PortMiami, and having a private car waiting at the terminal for the trip to Avalon Hotel Miami could not have been smoother. The night before, I got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out. I knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was no guessing at the port.
