From $285 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Best Western Intracoastal Inn 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Best Western Intracoastal Inn puts you well north of the port, up in the Jupiter region where the water turns a clear turquoise and the old lighthouse marks the inlet. It is a relaxing, well-run place to land after a cruise — a straightforward hotel stay rather than a resort, close to the coast and simple to settle into once your driver drops you at the door.
The setting is the draw. The Jupiter Inlet and its lighthouse define this stretch, with Jupiter Beach a short reach away when you desire sand and open ocean. Inland, Riverbend Park lays out trails for anyone who likes to walk or paddle after days on a ship, and Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium sits neighboring for spring baseball. When the plan calls for shopping or a meal, the Gardens Mall is just south, a simple stop from the hotel.
Arrival is meant to be simple. You clear the cruise terminal, your bags come off with you, and one direct ride carries the group north to the entrance of Best Western Intracoastal Inn — no dragging luggage across the port, no waiting around. For the details that belong to the property itself — room types, parking, and check-in times — the hotel is the right source to confirm, since those can shift by season. What we handle is everything between the ship and that front door, so the first thing on your list once you step out of the car is deciding whether to point toward the beach or the trails.
Your chauffeur is staged at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, organized by message as you come off, and meets the group at the curb once you clear the hall. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, and from there it is one direct run — the driver takes Florida’s Turnpike for the roughly 88-mile journey up to the Jupiter region, and the group rides together the whole way with no extra stops.
Plan on about 109 to 123 minutes between the port and Best Western Intracoastal Inn, depending on the hour. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest window, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, and the drive is unhurried and private, ending with your bags carried to the entrance beside you.
