From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Casa Boutique Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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 want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Casa Boutique Hotel sits just across the water from the cruise terminals, reached by the MacArthur Causeway and SR A1A — the coastal road that carries you onto the barrier island where South Beach runs along the ocean. From the moment your ship clears the port, the hotel is a single short leg away, close enough that you trade the terminal crowds for the front desk well within the hour, bags and all.
The setting is the classic stretch of South Beach. Step out and the Art Deco district is right at hand — the pastel facades along Ocean Drive, the café tables of Española Way, and the broad pedestrian run of Lincoln Road, all packed into one walkable grid. Lummus Park and the sand sit at the coast, so the water is a short stroll rather than another drive, and the whole postcard version of the neighborhood is within reach of the door.
For a traveler stepping off a cruise, that closeness is the whole point. Drop your things at Casa Boutique Hotel and a beach afternoon becomes the obvious next move — walk to the water while the day is still yours, then circle back for dinner along Ocean Drive or Española Way. Anything about the stay itself, the rooms and the on-site details, lives on the hotel’s own page; our part is getting you and your luggage there directly, with the neighborhood already at your feet the moment you reach.
Once your group clears the exit, your reserved SUV is staged at the terminal curb and the chauffeur handles the bags from cart to trunk. From there it is a single, direct leg to Casa Boutique Hotel — no stops, no transfers — out over the MacArthur Causeway and onto SR A1A, with your luggage locked in the vehicle the whole way and 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in so a slow disembarkation never costs you the ride within that time.
Count on roughly 16 to 18 minutes terminal to door, covering about six miles, with the exact time shifting a little in weekend port traffic. The pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, so the causeway traffic is already priced into the plan. At the hotel entrance the chauffeur unloads every bag, and the same setup runs in reverse on the day you leave for the ship.

Our crew rode together straight from the port to Casa Boutique Hotel, and it was so easy. The ride from the terminal to Casa Boutique Hotel was smooth and steady, and we could just watch the city go by.
After a long week at sea, having the ride already handled to Casa Boutique Hotel was worth every bit. We had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was no guessing at the port.
No íbamos a hacer malabares con niños y maletas buscando transporte en el puerto, así que coordinamos una van privada a Casa Boutique Hotel. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin nadie a quien esperar — justo lo indicado para esa mañana. Había una ventana de cortesía desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para bajar del barco.
Descendo do navio por conta própria, eu tinha um motorista com o meu nome numa placa para a viagem até Casa Boutique Hotel — sem nada deixado ao acaso. A tarifa estava fechada na reserva, sem nada a mais no meio-fio.
Clean car, no waiting around, and a driver who knew exactly where to go. Would book again. The van was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, and there was space for everything.
