From $89 per vehicle: private one-way ride, Port of Miami to Candlewood Suites Miami Intl Airport – 36th St, an IHG Hotel.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Candlewood Suites Miami Intl Airport – 36th St, an IHG Hotel sits in the MIA Airport District, the cluster of blocks built around Blue Lagoon where transit days are the whole point. The hotel rows line NW 36th Street, office parks ring the lakes, and expressways run off in every direction, so wherever you are headed next the road is close.
For a traveler stepping off a cruise, that location is the appeal. You are minutes from the terminals when it is time to fly out, and close to the district’s dining and business addresses when you desire to stay put for the night. The setting is practical rather than picturesque, which is exactly what a between-legs stop should be.
Your driver brings you straight to the hotel entrance, bags carried to the door beside you, so arrival is a short walk to the lobby rather than a wrestle with luggage on the curb. Tell us the property and we handle the rest of the run.
This is a private, door-to-door run reserved for your group alone. Your driver waits at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, timed to your disembarkation, with a courtesy wait window built in so a slow customs line never costs you the ride within that time. There is no taxi queue to join and no luggage-on-the-sidewalk scramble.
Once you are aboard, every bag rides in the vehicle with you and the route follows the Airport Expressway toward the MIA Airport District. The car drops the whole party at the Candlewood Suites entrance, luggage carried to the door. On embarkation day the same private run works in reverse, hotel lobby to pier.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
