From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Habitat Residence in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Habitat Residence sits in Brickell, the compact financial quarter that rises just south of the Miami River. The neighborhood packs banking towers, rooftop restaurants, and a walkable street grid into a few blocks, and the residence places you right in the middle of it.
Step outside and the district is yours on foot. Brickell City Centre, with its open-air shopping and dining, and Mary Brickell Village both sit within simple reach, so a first dinner or a morning coffee never means a long walk. Simpson Park offers a pocket of green neighboring, and the Miami River runs close by, only a couple of bridges from the cruise terminals you just left behind.
For travelers stepping straight off a ship, the appeal is the setting: a central Brickell address that keeps restaurants, shops, and the waterfront within walking distance, with the rest of Miami a short drive in any direction. Anything about the stay itself lives on Habitat Residence’s own page; getting you there from the pier is our part.
This is a terminal-to-door ride. Your driver is organized by message as you come off the ship, meets your group at the curb on Dodge Island, and loads every bag into the vehicle before you pull away. From there it is one run along US-1 to Habitat Residence, with no stops in between.
Plan on roughly 6.1 miles and about 13 to 15 minutes, depending on traffic and the hour. Your booking carries 60 minutes of complimentary wait at the port, so the pace of customs and the luggage hall never costs you the ride within that time: you walk out, and the vehicle is already there.

Every policy in full: FAQ
The perfect end to the cruise — private, on time, and easy. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — ship to hotel door with zero stress.
Traveling with our little ones, we arranged a private van to meet us at the cruise terminal and take everyone over to Habitat Residence. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out. The child seat was already installed, which was a real help that morning.
