From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Holiday Inn Express Boca Raton West in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Holiday Inn Express Boca Raton West sits in Boca Raton, the polished stretch of the Palm Beach County coast where the shoreline, the shopping, and the quiet residential streets all sit close together. It makes a simple base whether you are winding down after a sailing or setting up before one, and everything about the stay itself lives on the property’s own official page. Our part is the ride, delivered as a single private leg with the vehicle held for your group alone.
Boca Raton gives you plenty of reasons to linger once you are checked in. Mizner Park draws people for its boutiques, and the landmark pink resort is one of the region’s most recognized addresses. Families tend to make time for Gumbo Limbo Nature Center and its sea-turtle tanks, while Red Reef Park rounds out the short list of spots that are simple to reach from where you are staying. It is the kind of place where a beach afternoon can follow a morning off the ship without much planning.
Because Boca Raton runs right along the coast, the natural move after a cruise is to drop your bags at the hotel and walk toward the water. The drop-off covers Boca Raton and the streets immediately around your stay, so you arrive at the door rather than somewhere nearby. Guests here frequently fold Mizner Park and the Boca Raton Resort into the same first day ashore, then keep Gumbo Limbo and Red Reef Park in mind for later.
Your chauffeur meets your group at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, organized by message as you come out of the hall. There is no shared vehicle and no waiting on app availability; the pickup is staged around your actual disembarkation. The bags are loaded at the terminal curb, and from there it is one direct leg north to Holiday Inn Express Boca Raton West by way of Florida’s Turnpike.
The route runs roughly 45.3 miles, which works out to about 60 to 76 minutes terminal to door depending on traffic, with tolls and fuel already built into the flat rate. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest window, so the timing is set to when you genuinely walk off, not a fixed clock. A bilingual chauffeur who works the terminals weekly handles every bag from the pier to the hotel entrance, and the vehicle stays reserved for your party the whole way.
