From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Brickell Ave Suites-Miami in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Brickell Ave Suites-Miami puts you in the heart of Brickell, the district that rises just south of the Miami River. This is the part of the city defined by banking towers, rooftop restaurants, and a walkable grid that stays hectic from morning coffee through late dinner. From the cruise terminals it is only a couple of bridges away, which is part of what makes the address such a simple landing spot after you step off the ship.
Once you reach, much of what draws people to Brickell is close at hand. Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village both sit neighboring, with shops, dining, and open-air walkways to wander through. Brickell Avenue itself runs right through the neighborhood, and the Miami River is a short stroll away when you desire a view of the water and the bridges that cross it. It is a compact region, so a lot fits within a few blocks of where you check in.
If you decide to add a few days after the cruise, Brickell makes a simple base for exploring the city. You are surrounded by restaurants and gathering spots, and the surrounding streets keep everything within reach without needing to plan a long journey out. Settling in here means the neighborhood does most of the entertaining for you.
Your driver is staged at the terminal before you clear the luggage hall, so the vehicle is waiting when you walk out rather than the other way around. The route follows Port Boulevard and US-1 for the short hop into Brickell, which runs roughly 12 to 14 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. Disembarkation mornings can stack up at the exits, but that wait belongs to the driver, not to you.
Your bags ride inside the vehicle with your group, carried from the curb so you are not wrestling luggage across the terminal. It is a private run reserved for your party alone, from pickup at the pier straight through to the entrance at Brickell Ave Suites-Miami. A 60-minute courtesy wait is built into the port pickup, which absorbs the time customs and the luggage hall can take, so a slow walk-off does not throw off the ride.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.

Couldn’t have asked for better. easy reservation, no back-and-forth.
As a solo cruiser I pre-booked a private transfer from the port to Brickell Ave Suites-Miami for disembarkation morning, and it took all the guesswork out of it. No scramble at the port — I just stepped out and the car was ready. It was a private car just for me — no side pickups — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. Made getting off the ship so easy.
The group of us walked off together and it was a relief to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to Brickell Ave Suites-Miami — nobody splitting up. Booking was quick, we got clear pickup details, and everything lined up perfectly.
Qué bueno que reservamos con anticipación — auto limpio, gran conductor, sin caos en el puerto, directo a la puerta. Llegar a Brickell Ave Suites-Miami directo desde la terminal significó que pudimos hacer el check-in y por fin darnos una ducha tras la semana en el mar.
After our cruise, my partner and I weren’t going to gamble on a ride at the terminal, so we arranged a private car to Brickell Ave Suites-Miami. We went from the terminal to a real bed with no stress at all. There was a board with our name on it at the terminal doors, so we knew right where to go.
