From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Best Western Miami Executive Airport 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.
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.
Best Western Miami Executive Airport is a hotel in Miami, part of a familiar name that travelers recognize the moment they see the sign. It sits on the western side of the city, in the practical airport corridor rather than along the beach or the cruise waterfront. For anyone pairing a flight with a sailing, or merely wanting a dependable place to land in Miami, it offers the kind of no-guesswork stay that a long travel day calls for.
Location is the quiet strength here. The property sits roughly 23 miles from the Port of Miami, a simple run along SR-836 and the Don Shula Expressway that keeps you clear of downtown congestion. That places you within reach of the airport and the wider expressway network, so onward travel — to the terminal, the gate, or across the city — starts from a well-connected point rather than a tangle of side streets.
Arriving after a cruise, what you find is refreshingly ordinary in the top sense: a front desk, a lobby to set your bags down in, and Miami waiting just beyond the doors. The surrounding area leans functional, built around travelers coming and going, which means swift access to the roads you require and a peaceful base once the ship is behind you. Anything about the stay itself belongs to the hotel; getting you to its door in comfort is our part.
The ride begins the moment your group clears the terminal exit. Your chauffeur is already staged at the Port of Miami curb, tracking your ship’s arrival, so the vehicle is there when you walk out rather than something you chase down. Every bag is loaded for you, from the terminal curb into the car, and the door closes on a ride reserved for your party alone.
From there it is a single, direct leg to Best Western Miami Executive Airport — about 23 miles along SR-836 and the Don Shula Expressway, commonly 41 to 57 minutes depending on the hour and traffic. No shared stops and no detours: the car runs straight to the hotel door, where your chauffeur unloads the luggage and sees you settled. Heading the other way, toward the ship, works the same, with the driver meeting you at the entrance.
