From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Gale Miami Hotel & Residence 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.
Gale Miami Hotel & Residence sits right in the heart of Downtown Miami, in the cluster of properties that practically overlook the cruise port. The blocks around it, filling the space between Biscayne Boulevard and the water, hold some of the neighborhood’s most recognizable stops — Museum Park, the Kaseya Center, and Bayside Marketplace — so the address puts you close to both the terminals and the walkable core of the city.
For a cruise traveler, that location does a lot of quiet work. You are only a short run from PortMiami on Dodge Island, which means the transition between ship and room stays simple whether you reach the night before or roll straight off the gangway. If you decide to add a day on either end of the sailing, Bayside Marketplace and the Kaseya Center are within simple reach, with Museum Park and the port itself close by in the same downtown grid.
For anything to do with the building itself — rooms, parking, and check-in details — the property is the right source to ask, since those change and are theirs to confirm. What we handle is the ride to its entrance.
Once your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island, the driver is waiting at the curb of your ship’s own terminal, organized by message as you walk out. Your bags go into the vehicle, everyone rides together, and it is one direct run to the entrance of Gale Miami Hotel & Residence — no dragging luggage across the port and no second stop.
Because the destination is just across Downtown Miami, this is a short journey. The pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, and your booking includes complimentary wait time at the port, so the pace of customs never costs you the ride within that time. The driver carries the bags to the curb at the hotel end, too.

Last leg of a long travel day handled without fuss. Made the day easier.
Nuestro equipo fue todo junto directo del puerto a Gale Miami Hotel & Residence, y fue muy fácil. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — el puerto quedó totalmente resuelto. El conductor se ocupó de las valijas para que no tuviéramos que batallar con todo.
Traveling with our little ones, we arranged a private van to be waiting at the curb and take everyone over to Gale Miami Hotel & Residence. We went from the ship to the front desk of Gale Miami Hotel & Residence with nothing to worry about in between.
Coming down the gangway solo, the last thing I wanted was to sort out transport at the port, so I had a private car lined up for the run to Gale Miami Hotel & Residence. No line to stand in — I just stepped out and the car was ready. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
