From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Best Western Plus Miami Airport North Hotel & 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.
Best Western Plus Miami Airport North Hotel & Suites sits in Miami’s Airport District, the hectic corridor built around Blue Lagoon where transit days are the whole point. For a traveler stepping off a ship, it works as a practical, well-placed base rather than a resort — a place to land, sleep, and move on. Room rows, office parks, and main expressways all sit close at hand, so the hotel fits neatly into the rhythm of arrival and departure days.
The district around the hotel runs on movement. Hotel blocks line NW 36th Street, office parks spread along the lakes, and expressways reach out in every direction, so getting anywhere in the region starts within a few turns of the front door. Blue Lagoon and the Miami Springs Golf Course sit within simple reach of the stay, and the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) runs neighboring when your plans take you deeper into Miami.
Arriving after a cruise, you step into a stay that is set up for people in motion rather than a long vacation base. The location keeps the airport, the expressways, and NW 36th Street all a short drive away, which makes an early flight or a next-day plan simple to manage. For the specifics of your room, the parking, and your check-in timing, the property’s own official page is the best source, since those details belong to the hotel and can change over time.
The ride begins right at your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island, not at a distant parking lot or a curb across the port. Your driver is staged and waiting as you finish disembarkation, so once you clear the hall the vehicle is already there. Every bag goes into the vehicle with you, carried from the terminal to the door, and the whole group travels together in one car reserved for your party alone.
From the port, the route follows the Airport Expressway and SR-112 Toll for roughly nine miles, a journey of about 23 to 28 minutes depending on the hour. It is one direct, door-to-door run from the pier to the entrance of Best Western Plus Miami Airport North Hotel & Suites, with tolls and fuel already handled, so there is nothing to sort out along the way.
