From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Buffalo Run Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Buffalo Run Hotel sits about 17 miles by road from the Port of Miami, on the north side of downtown in the Wynwood and Midtown part of the city. It is a straightforward place to land after a cruise: your ride ends at the door, your bags come off the vehicle, and you step straight into your stay without a shuttle line or a walk across the port.
The neighborhood around Buffalo Run Hotel is one of the more walkable corners of Miami once you are settled in. Wynwood’s mural-covered warehouses, craft breweries, and galleries sit just a short distance north of downtown, and Midtown’s shops sit right beside them. The Miami Design District is close as well, so the streets near your stay put a lot within easy reach on foot or a quick ride.
Because the hotel is set among Wynwood, Midtown, and the Design District, most guests locate the pace of the region easy to settle into after time at sea. Many people fit in Wynwood Walls and the Design District soon after they land ashore, with Midtown Miami and NW 2nd Avenue also close at hand. Whatever your plans, the drop-off covers the exact address and the streets around it, so the last stretch of your travel day is handled the same way the rest of the ride is: one vehicle reserved for your group, door to door, with the driver seeing your luggage from the curb to the lobby.
From the pier it is one direct run to Buffalo Run Hotel, about 17 miles along I-95, and you should budget 34 to 50 minutes depending on the hour. Disembarkation mornings fill the terminal exits rapidly, so your chauffeur is staged before you clear the hall — the wait is theirs, not yours. When you reach the curb with your bags, the vehicle is already there and assigned to your party alone.
Your luggage rides in the vehicle with you, and the driver handles it from the terminal curb through to the lobby door. There is no shared van and no second stop: you clear the terminal, your bags go in, and the ride runs straight to the hotel. Terminal pickups include an hour of free waiting, so a slow customs line never costs you the transfer within that time. The same flat one-way rate covers the reverse leg on embarkation day, timed to your ship’s schedule.

El grupo entero bajamos juntos y fue muy fácil tener una van privada lista en la acera para el viaje a Buffalo Run Hotel — sin dividirnos. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue justo cuando lo necesitamos.
