From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Doubletree Club Miami Airport in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
Doubletree Club Miami Airport sits inside the MIA Airport District, the cluster of hotels wrapped around Miami International Airport. It is a practical base for anyone whose journey pivots on a flight and a sailing, set along the Blue Lagoon corridor where a night’s stay and an early departure fit together without a long haul across the city. The location is built for movement: land, settle in, and be ready to roll the next morning.
The surroundings are all about simple access. Blue Lagoon and the Miami Springs Golf Course sit within simple reach of the hotel, and the road network is close at hand — NW 36th Street runs nearby, with the Palmetto Expressway and the Dolphin Expressway feeding the wider region. That mix of water, greenery, and swift highway links is what makes this pocket of Miami so handy for travelers who value a straight shot to and from the airport and the port.
Anything about the stay itself — the rooms, the front desk, the amenities — belongs to Doubletree Club Miami Airport’s own team, and the details live on their official page. Our part begins at the curb. Numerous guests utilize this hotel as a fly-in point the night before a cruise, then move straight to the ship in the morning; others land after their sailing and desire a peaceful place near MIA before heading home. Either way, the hotel anchors the airport end of the journey while the ride connects it to the water.
After you disembark at the PortMiami cruise terminal, your chauffeur is already staged before you clear the luggage hall, so the wait is theirs and not yours. Your driver meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, handles the bags, and loads everything into the vehicle you reserved — the SUV or van is yours alone for the run, never pooled with another group. There is nothing to settle at the curb and no line to join; you walk out and the car is there.
From the pier it is one clean run to the door of Doubletree Club Miami Airport, following SR-836 across town.

Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat fare, so nothing is added on the day, and full luggage assist is part of the service at both ends. You settle in, and the hotel is next.
