From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Churchill Suites Monte Carlo 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.
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.
Churchill Suites Monte Carlo sits along the northern reach of the barrier island at 6551 Collins Avenue, in the quieter North Beach part of Miami Beach. It stands about 11.2 miles by road from the cruise terminals at the Port of Miami, close enough that the transfer stays short yet far enough north to feel peaceful once the ships are behind you. This is the low-key end of the island, where the sand runs broad and uncrowded and the pace slows down.
Step outside and the neighborhood does the rest. The Surfside beachwalk and the North Beach Bandshell are within easy reach for an evening stroll or an open-air show, and Collins Avenue runs right past the door with its shops and cafes. A little farther up the island you have Haulover Park and, in nearby Bal Harbour, the Bal Harbour Shops, so a day can drift from beach to browsing without much of a drive. Surfside and Bal Harbour anchor this stretch, and the tone stays relaxed rather than frantic.
The property itself sits directly on the Collins Avenue corridor, which makes drop-off simple: your driver pulls up at the entrance and carries your bags to the door. For rooms, parking, and check-in details, the hotel’s own front desk is the right source, since those specifics belong to the property. What matters for your ride is that the address is fixed, the door is easy to reach, and the whole group lands at one entrance together after a single quiet run up from the port.
Book the ride before your ship docks and the morning off the vessel gets simpler. Your driver is already staged at the terminal while you clear the disembarkation hall, so the waiting is theirs rather than yours. Once your party is together, the SUV or van runs straight north with no shared stops, one group in the vehicle, bags loaded, door to door.
The route follows the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 across to the beach and up Collins Avenue, about 11.2 miles that commonly takes 26 to 28 minutes depending on traffic and the hour. Tolls and fuel are already built into the flat rate, so nothing is added along the way. Your driver handles the luggage from the curb to the hotel entrance, and the same flat one-way price covers the reverse leg on embarkation day if you book both directions together.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
