From $89 per vehicle: a private one-way transfer from the Port of Miami to Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown.
Each price below is the flat total for the whole vehicle on a one-way journey, set the moment you book and left alone by traffic.
Cruise ships berth on Dodge Island, and the driver waits curbside at the exact terminal your line uses. Tell us which cruise line you are sailing when you book, and the vehicle is staged at the correct hall before you reach the gangway. A meet-and-greet is part of every reservation, so someone is watching for your group rather than leaving you to hunt for a car.
Terminal pickups are timed to your real disembarkation, and about an hour of complimentary waiting is built into the booking, which keeps a slow customs line from costing you the ride. Desire to be met by name? A driver holding a placard with your name is a $40 add-on you can request when you reserve.
Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown sits in Downtown Miami, the district nearest to the cruise terminals. Bayside Marketplace, Bayfront Park, and the downtown arena all stand within a few minutes of the property, while Museum Park and the Perez Art Museum Miami round out what is close by. If you are staying on after the sailing rather than moving straight to an airport, the spot puts the bayfront and downtown Miami within simple reach of Holiday Inn Port of Miami Downtown. Because the property sits so close to the terminals, the ride from the ship is short and direct, a simple first move before you settle into the region or carry on with your plans.
The route covers about 2.0 miles and commonly takes 8 to 10 minutes along Port Boulevard, with causeway traffic the only thing that shifts the number. Because the journey is so short, the driver follows your ship’s real arrival with room to spare instead of a slot trimmed to the minute. That short distance is also why the fare stays flat — there is little road for traffic to add up on, so the estimate holds through most of the day.
The moment your group is through the hall with its bags. Self-assist walk-off passengers are frequently out first, and checked-luggage groups a little later. The hour of free waiting means the pace of customs never decides whether the car is still there within that hour.
Yes. Every booking is private, so the SUV or van carries only your party from the pier to the hotel. There is no ride-pooling and no stop to collect strangers on the way into Downtown Miami.
