From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hampton Inn Dadeland in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Hampton Inn Dadeland sits in the Kendall and South Miami-Dade belt, the leafiest, most suburban stretch of the county. It is a relaxing hotel base for travelers coming off a cruise who desire a quieter corner of Miami with everyday conveniences close at hand. After the noise and crowds of the terminal, the neighborhood feels calm and residential, with shade trees lining the streets and plenty of room to spread out.
The location puts you within reach of the things people commonly desire after a sailing. Dadeland Mall anchors the region for shopping, and Pinecrest Gardens gives you green space and a slower pace when you land ashore. Baptist Hospital and Zoo Miami are both in the same part of the county, so if your plans feature a medical appointment or a day with the family, you are already near them. The Deering Estate, out along the bay, rounds out the local list for anyone who wants a look at old Florida.
What you locate on arrival is a straightforward, well-placed hotel rather than a resort scene. For questions about rooms, parking, and check-in, the property itself is the source to go to. Our part is getting you here in one direct run: your group rides together in a private vehicle, luggage handled at both ends, and the door of Hampton Inn Dadeland is where the journey ends. If your travels also touch MIA or FLL, the same vehicles and the same flat pricing cover the airport leg on request.
Book before you dock and disembarkation becomes the simple part of the morning. Your driver is staged for your ship’s arrival and waits at the terminal while you clear customs and the luggage hall, so the wait belongs to them, not to you. You walk out, the vehicle is already there, and Hampton Inn Dadeland is the next stop. There is no shared ride and no detour to collect other passengers.
From the terminal the chauffeur follows SR-836 and the Palmetto Expressway straight to the hotel, a run that normally takes about 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and the hour. Your luggage rides inside the vehicle, and the driver carries the bags to the curb beside you at the door. Fuel and typical tolls are already folded into the flat fare, so nothing changes once you are underway. It is one group, one vehicle, one direct journey from the port to your room.
