From $195 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Highland Beach Holiday inn 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.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
The Highland Beach Holiday Inn is your endpoint on this run up from the cruise port — a Holiday Inn set in Highland Beach, the slim coastal community that falls along the line between Broward and Palm Beach County on Florida’s Atlantic edge. Wherever your exact building sits in that stretch, the transfer is planned as a single door-to-door leg, terminal curb to hotel entrance, with no detours added along the way.
When the vehicle reaches Highland Beach it pulls up to the hotel entrance and the group steps out at the door, luggage lifted to the curb beside you rather than left in a distant lot. The hotel itself handles the rest of your stay — amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in questions are all laid out on the official Holiday Inn site, so you can confirm those directly with the property before you sail.
The point of booking ahead is that this final stretch is settled before you ever dock. Instead of sorting a ride in an unfamiliar county after a long morning off the ship, you reach to a chauffeur already assigned to Highland Beach, a fixed price agreed at the time you book, and a car that belongs to your group alone. The destination is fixed, the route is set, and the last thing between the terminal and your room is a straight ride north.
The drive from Port of Miami to the Highland Beach Holiday Inn covers roughly 52.8 miles and commonly runs 76 to 90 minutes, following I-95 north for most of the way. After you disembark, you are met curbside at your terminal — not sent to locate a parking lot — and the driver takes the group straight to the hotel with no stops in between.
Your bags ride inside the vehicle and the chauffeur handles them at both ends. Because disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the terminal exits, the car is staged before you clear the hall, with an hour of free waiting built in so customs lines never cost you the ride within that time. Tell us your ship and arrival date and the pickup is timed to when you actually walk out.
