From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza puts you in the heart of Coral Gables, one of Miami’s most walkable and architecturally distinct neighborhoods. This is apartment-style suite living rather than a typical hotel room, which suits travelers coming off a cruise who want space to unpack, spread out, and settle in for a few days. You reach to a residential-feeling base with the city’s boulevards of banyan trees and Spanish-style buildings right outside the door.
The location is the real draw. Miracle Mile, with its restaurants and shops, sits within simple reach, and the historic Biltmore Hotel is a short hop away for a meal or a walk of the grounds. Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and the University of Miami are both close by, giving you green space and a campus district to explore without needing to cross town. Everything that defines Coral Gables — the tree-lined streets, the low-rise elegance, the mix of quiet and dining — is on your doorstep.
Because Coral Gables is central to so much of greater Miami, the suite works well as a launch point. South Beach, Downtown, Coconut Grove, Brickell, the murals of Wynwood, and the cafés of Little Havana are all reachable when you want to venture out, and shopping at Dolphin Mall or Lincoln Road is a simple day. After the pace of a cruise, having a calm, roomy home base in a handsome neighborhood makes the transition back to land feel unhurried and relaxing.
This is a door-to-door private transfer straight from your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island to Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza. Book before you dock and disembarkation becomes the simple part: your driver is staged and waiting before you clear the terminal hall, so the wait is theirs rather than yours. There are no stops and no strangers sharing the vehicle — one group, one run, with full luggage assistance loaded at the pier and unloaded at the door.
From the port it is a single stretch along US-1 and Southwest 22nd Street, roughly 10.1 miles into Coral Gables. Plan on about 25 to 28 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and traffic. Cruise mornings stack up speedy at the exits, so a fixed pickup and a fare locked at booking keep the arrival predictable. Your bags stay in the vehicle the whole way, and your chauffeur handles the route while you take in the city.

After a week at sea I only wanted the ride handled, so a private car from the port to Dharma Home Suites Coral Gables Grand Plaza was exactly right. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
