From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to El Paseo Hotel Miami Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
El Paseo Hotel Miami Beach sits in the heart of South Beach, the stretch of the coast where numerous cruisers select to spend the night before or after sailing. Staying here puts the shoreline within a few steps of the front door, and plenty of guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they walk off the gangway. It is the kind of address where the beach is not a drive away — it is merely there, waiting once the bags are dropped.
The neighborhood around the hotel is the classic South Beach mix. Art Deco facades line the surrounding streets, Ocean Drive keeps up its steady flow of people-watching, and Lincoln Road handles the shopping when the list calls for it. Everything sits close together, so the property works as a simple base for exploring on foot rather than a place you have to leave to savor. Cafes, storefronts, and the ocean are all part of the same short walk.
Getting here from the cruise terminals is swift by Miami standards — South Beach is only a short causeway hop from the ship, which is a large part of why the region draws so numerous sailing travelers. When you reach, the drop-off covers the streets right around your stay, so you are set down close to the door with your group and your luggage together. Whether you are settling in the night before embarkation or unwinding after a week at sea, El Paseo Hotel Miami Beach keeps the beach, the shops, and the Art Deco blocks all within reach.
This is a door-to-door private transfer straight from your cruise terminal at the Port of Miami to El Paseo Hotel Miami Beach. Your chauffeur meets you curbside at the terminal — not off in a parking lot — and loads the bags right there. From the ship to the hotel is a single, direct leg of about 6 miles, so there are no detours and no extra stops along the way. The vehicle is yours alone, and your luggage rides with you from curb to door.
Because the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, the plan works around your ship rather than around whatever happens to be available at the curb. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest hours, with thousands of passengers leaving the ships at once, and that traffic is already built into the timing. When you reach South Beach, the driver sets you and your group down close to the hotel entrance, bags in hand.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.

Ruta inteligente. Buen viaje. Sin estrés.
We cruised as a group and wanted the whole group in one private ride to El Paseo Hotel Miami Beach after disembarking. There was space to spare for the whole group and all our cruise luggage in one van to El Paseo Hotel Miami Beach. The driver handled the suitcases so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
Walking off the ship solo, the last thing I wanted was to stand in a taxi line at the port, so I had a private car lined up for the run to El Paseo Hotel Miami Beach. I went from the terminal to a real bed with nothing to worry about in between.
Coming down the gangway solo, the last thing I wanted was to drag my bags around looking for a ride at the port, so I had a private car waiting for the run to El Paseo Hotel Miami Beach. I was dropped at the entrance of El Paseo Hotel Miami Beach, not on a corner with the bags.
The little ones were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to El Paseo Hotel Miami Beach with no drama. The car was fresh and comfortable, a relief in the Miami heat.
