From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hilton Garden Inn Miami South Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
The Hilton Garden Inn Miami South Beach sits in Mid-Beach, the stretch of the island that runs up Collins Avenue through what locals think of as resort row. It is a hotel built for travelers who desire the ocean close and the pace of the beach a short walk away, without the density of the busier southern tip. On arrival, the front desk handles the practical parts of your stay — rooms, parking, and check-in — and those details are top confirmed with the property itself rather than with us.
What surrounds the hotel is a large part of the appeal. The oceanfront boardwalk runs the full length of this part of the island, so reaching the water is a matter of minutes once you have set your bags down. Just inland and between the towers, the Faena District adds an arts scene to the neighborhood, giving the region more texture than a plain beach block. Indian Creek threads the resort corridor neighboring as well.
For a traveler coming straight off a cruise, the location does a lot of the work. Mid-Beach is right on the coast, which makes a beach afternoon the natural next move after you disembark — drop your luggage at the hotel and head for the sand. Collins Avenue and the oceanfront boardwalk are the two anchors most guests fold into their first hours ashore, with the Faena District close enough to fill an evening once the sun is down.
The ride begins at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur is staged before your group clears the arrivals hall, so the wait belongs to the driver rather than to you — no standing on the curb with bags while an app searches for a car. From the pier it is one run along the MacArthur Causeway and SR A1A, roughly 9.6 miles, ending at the entrance of the Hilton Garden Inn Miami South Beach.
Plan on about 23 to 25 minutes terminal to door, whether the morning runs light or heavy. Every bag rides in the same vehicle as your party, loaded and unloaded by the chauffeur, and the car is reserved for your group alone from the port to the hotel. Going the other way, the driver meets you at the hotel entrance and handles the luggage there before the return to the ship.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
