From $89 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami cruise terminal straight to Continental Bayside Hotel.
Each figure below is the full price for the vehicle on the one-way run — the whole group travels together on a single flat rate, with tolls and fuel already folded in.
Cruise mornings move in waves, and the pickup is built around that rhythm. Once the ship ties up at PortMiami, the driver is already staged near your assigned terminal, so clearing customs and the luggage hall is the only wait — the vehicle sits in position before you reach the curb. Step out with the bags and the black SUV or van is there for the short hop to the hotel. A name sign can be held at the exit when you ask for one ahead of time, and sixty minutes of courtesy wait is folded in to absorb a slow disembarkation.
Continental Bayside Hotel sits at 146 Biscayne Boulevard, right in Downtown Miami and only a few blocks from the water. The setting puts Bayside Marketplace, Bayfront Park, and the Perez Art Museum Miami within easy reach once the bags are dropped, with Museum Park and the Kaseya Center filling the streets between Biscayne Boulevard and the bay. Because the property is so close to the cruise piers, the ride off the ship is one of the shortest transfers on the whole port.
The route to Continental Bayside Hotel barely leaves the waterfront: about 1.9 miles along Port Boulevard, usually eight to ten minutes from the terminal curb to the hotel door. There are no other pickups and no shared seats — the private vehicle runs straight from the pier to the door and nowhere else. Traffic on a busy disembarkation morning can nudge the clock, but the distance stays the same short crossing over the bridge into Downtown Miami.
Plan on roughly eight to ten minutes from the terminal curb to the door of Continental Bayside Hotel, over a distance of about 1.3 miles. A heavy disembarkation morning can add a couple of minutes, but the run stays short. The driver watches the port exits and picks the cleanest way onto Port Boulevard.
Yes. The reverse leg to PortMiami is priced at the same flat one-way rate, and booking both directions together puts one driver on your sailing schedule. The return pickup at Continental Bayside Hotel is timed to your embarkation window so the car is ready when you are.
