From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miramar 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miramar sits in Miramar, on the western side of Broward County. This is the flat, planned stretch of South Florida where the suburbs of Weston, Davie, and Pembroke Pines line up beside Miramar, and the built-up grid runs right out to the Everglades levee that marks the county’s edge. If your picture of Miami is all beach and downtown, this corner reads differently — quieter, residential, and simple to reach by highway from the port.
The location puts a handful of Broward’s bigger draws within reach. Sawgrass Mills, one of the region’s largest shopping destinations, is nearby, as is Hard Rock Stadium, home to marquee games and concerts. For a change of pace there is Flamingo Gardens and the green ribbon of the Everglades levee close at hand, giving West Broward a mix of shopping, sport, and open space that numerous travelers do not anticipate to locate so near the coast.
For a cruise traveler, the appeal is simple: the hotel is a peaceful, well-placed base away from the crowds of the waterfront, with the western suburbs and their attractions on the doorstep. Anything about the stay itself — rooms, breakfast, check-in times — lives on the hotel’s own official page; our part is the ground transport that connects your ship to the front entrance. We serve every address in West Broward, so wherever you are staying in this part of the county, the ride is planned around your arrival.
Once your ship clears and your group reaches the terminal exit, the driver is already staged at the curb on Dodge Island, waiting at the terminal your cruise line uses. Bags go straight into the vehicle — no dragging luggage across the port, no line to stand in. From there it is one direct leg out of the port and onto the highway.
The route runs roughly 25.7 miles by way of the Palmetto Expressway and SR-826, and depending on the hour you should budget between 41 and 53 minutes to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miramar. Disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the exits, so the driver is positioned before you clear the hall — the wait is theirs, not yours. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone, door to door.

Got us to the conference 20 min before the keynote!
Our group came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the port to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miramar. The SUV was spotless, a relief in the Miami heat. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — a relief after a week aboard.

I’ve already earmarked them for my next cruise out of PortMiami. Getting to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miramar straight from the terminal meant I could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
Our group came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the port to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miramar. The fare was locked in at booking, nothing added at the curb.

As a solo cruiser I arranged a private transfer from the terminal to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miramar for disembarkation morning, and it was the best call of the trip.
