From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to citizenM hotels 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.
citizenM hotels sits in Downtown Miami, roughly one mile by road from the Port of Miami cruise terminals. That puts your room within simple reach of the water and the blocks that fill in between Biscayne Boulevard and Biscayne Bay, so you land ashore and settle in without a long haul across the city.
Step outside and the neighborhood is right there. Bayside Marketplace and Bayfront Park sit close by, the Perez Art Museum Miami and Museum Park anchor the green space near the bay, and the Kaseya Center rounds out the downtown core. It is the kind of address where guests off a morning ship frequently fold a museum stop or a walk along the marina into the same day they check in.
The hotel side of things — amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in — is handled on citizenM’s own official page. What matters for your ride is that the door sits a short, direct hop from the pier, with everything downtown clustered around it.
After you disembark, your chauffeur is staged at the terminal, tracking your ship’s actual arrival rather than a guessed clock. Pickup is organized by message as you walk off, your bags go into the vehicle, and the group rides together — no shared seats, no extra stops.
From the pier it is about a one-mile run along Port Boulevard, commonly eight to ten minutes to the citizenM entrance, depending on the hour. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, so the timing is built around your walk-off and the driver holds a wait window for slow gangways. You are dropped at the door with your luggage carried to the curb beside you.

Sin esperar, sin cargos extra, sin sorpresas
My husband and I weren’t up for the chaos outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to citizenM hotels before we even sailed. An easy, relaxed handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into citizenM hotels with nothing left to sort out.
