From $180 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hilton Garden Inn Boca Raton in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Hilton Garden Inn Boca Raton sits in Boca Raton, one of the most polished corners of South Florida. This is the town of Mizner-style arcades and manicured streets, of golf greens kept green year-round, and of beach parks like Red Reef where the Atlantic is a short reach from the hotel door. Booking a ride here means your first hours off the ship end somewhere peaceful and orderly rather than in cruise-morning chaos.
The setting is simple to fall into. Mizner Park, with its shops and open-air walkways, is close by, and the Boca Raton Resort anchors the same stretch of town. For anyone who wants a little nature after days at sea, Gumbo Limbo Nature Center and Red Reef Park are both neighboring, trading pavement for boardwalks, sea turtles, and quiet coastal trails. Boca rewards travelers who linger, and the hotel puts you within reach of all of it.
When your black SUV pulls up, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and handles the bags, so your only job is to walk inside. Anything on the hotel’s own side of the stay — room amenities, luggage holds for early or late arrivals, early check-in requests — is set through Hilton Garden Inn Boca Raton’s official page rather than through the ride. Our part ends the moment your group and every bag are at the door, delivered on a single direct run from the terminal to Boca Raton with no detours along the way.
The journey is one clean leg. Your reserved black SUV meets your group at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, the chauffeur loads the luggage at the curb, and the car heads north on I-95 straight to Hilton Garden Inn Boca Raton with no stops. Because ships rarely release every passenger at the same minute, the pickup is planned around your vessel’s actual arrival, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in to cover customs and the luggage hall. You walk out, the vehicle is there, and Boca Raton is next.
Plan on roughly 50 miles and 69 to 83 minutes, depending on the hour. Traffic on I-95 is the only real variable, which is exactly why the pickup follows your ship’s arrival with room to spare instead of a slot cut to the minute. Your bags stay in the vehicle the whole way, and the same chauffeur carries them to the hotel entrance at the far end.

As a solo cruiser I pre-booked a private transfer from PortMiami to Hilton Garden Inn Boca Raton for the morning I got off, and it took all the guesswork out of it. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so I never had to rush through customs. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt totally comfortable from the terminal all the way to the door of Hilton Garden Inn Boca Raton.
First time cruising solo out of PortMiami, and having a private car waiting at the terminal for the trip to Hilton Garden Inn Boca Raton took the worry away. I was dropped right at the front door of Hilton Garden Inn Boca Raton, not on a corner with the bags. The fare was locked in at booking, the same number I was quoted.
Al salir del barco sin compañía, lo último que quería era resolver el traslado en el puerto, así que tenía un auto privado esperando para ir a Hilton Garden Inn Boca Raton. Tenía todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal. Para llegar del barco a Hilton Garden Inn Boca Raton sin complicaciones, fue dinero bien gastado. Lo reservaría para el próximo crucero.
