From $89 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Four Points by Sheraton Coral Gables Hotel covers 6 miles (9.7 km) in 11 to 18 minutes door to door, at a flat rate. A black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver meets your group at the cruise terminal and drives straight to the hotel.
The fare is set per vehicle and locked when you book, so the size of your party — not a meter — decides the price.
The simplest route is a single private vehicle booked ahead and waiting curbside when you walk out of the terminal. Pick the tier that matches your group: a black SUV holds up to 5 travelers, a van takes 6 to 9, and a larger van seats 10 to 14. After you clear customs at PortMiami, the driver greets your party right at the curb — no rideshare lottery, no walk to a remote lot, no second leg. There is room for your cruise luggage, and the journey is a straight 6-mile run to the hotel entrance in Coral Gables, where you are dropped at the door. To set it up, message us on WhatsApp with your ship name, terminal, arrival date, and headcount; we confirm the vehicle and, on request, a name sign so you spot the driver instantly. One booking covers the whole party from ship to lobby.
A reserved private vehicle means your family or group never shares the ride with strangers and never waits in a queue. The bilingual driver speaks English and Spanish, which smooths the handoff after a long sailing. The fare is locked at booking, so a busy disembarkation morning or heavy I-95 traffic never bumps the price you agreed to. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp before and on the day of journey, not an app inbox — useful when plans shift at the terminal. For arriving and departing cruise passengers, the value is concrete: a known vehicle, a known price, a known driver, and a door-to-door run to Four Points by Sheraton Coral Gables Hotel without transfers. You handle one reservation and step off the ship into a car that is already yours, then ride straight to the hotel lobby.
The ride takes 11 to 18 minutes door to door across 8 miles (9.7 km). Off-peak, with light city traffic, you reach the hotel in about 11 minutes. The figure climbs toward 18 minutes at peak — typically weekday rush windows and the mid-morning hours when multiple ships release passengers and the roads leaving PortMiami fill rapidly. Because the route is short and stays on Miami surface streets and connectors rather than a long highway slog, the swing between top and worst case is modest. Your driver watches conditions on the day and chooses the cleanest path toward Coral Gables, so the estimate holds in real traffic rather than only on paper. Plan for the upper end on a heavy debark morning and you will rarely be surprised.
Four Points by Sheraton Coral Gables sits in one of Miami’s most walkable, tree-lined districts, a short reach from Miracle Mile’s shops and restaurants and the city’s Mediterranean-style downtown. The hotel offers a pool, on-site dining, and meeting space, making it an easy base whether you are resting before embarkation or unwinding after your sailing. Neighboring you can stroll the Venetian Pool, the grand Biltmore grounds, and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, all within the Coral Gables region. For rooms, rates, and amenities, check the Four Points Coral Gables official site or compare dates on the Four Points Coral Gables booking page.
Coral Gables packs its highlights close together. From the hotel you can walk or take a short ride to Miracle Mile for dining and boutiques, tour the historic Biltmore, swim at the spring-fed Venetian Pool, or wander Fairchild’s tropical gardens. The compact, pedestrian-friendly layout makes it simple to fill a pre- or post-cruise day without venturing far.
Yes — the area is quiet, green, and just 6 miles from PortMiami, so you stay close to the ship while skipping the noise of the waterfront. The neighborhood’s restaurants and walkable streets suit a relaxed night before embarkation, and the short transfer means an unhurried morning departure to the terminal.
The quoted fare is all-in for the vehicle and route: tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are covered, so no add-ons surface mid-trip. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot in the vehicle. If you ask via WhatsApp in advance, the driver carries a name sign for the terminal pickup. The rate buys a private, door-to-door ride for your party in the vehicle tier you select.
Gratuity for the driver is optional and not built into the fare. Late-night travel outside daytime hours adds the surcharge described further down. Anything not listed in these service facts is not part of the rate — ask on WhatsApp if you are unsure before you book.
Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice.
The driver waits curbside at your cruise terminal and greets your group as you exit, holding a name sign if you requested one on WhatsApp. There is no remote lot or app-summoned curb scramble — you walk out of PortMiami, locate your name, and step into the vehicle reserved for your party.
Yes — disembarkation day is the most common pickup. Give us your ship and debark date, and the driver is at the terminal curb for your exit, even on a busy morning when several ships unload together. The 6-mile run to the hotel takes 11 to 18 minutes depending on traffic that day.
