From $130 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hollywood Gateway Inn 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.
Hollywood Gateway Inn puts you in Hollywood, the easygoing beach town that sits about halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Hollywood keeps its own unhurried pace — a place to slow down after a week at sea rather than rush from one thing to the next. The inn works as a base for exactly that kind of stay: close to the water and the local attractions, yet quiet enough to feel like a proper break once the cruise is behind you.
Step out and the town’s top-known stretches are within reach. The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk runs along the sand for a long, flat walk or ride past cafes and the ocean. ArtsPark at Young Circle draws people in for open-air events and green space in the middle of town. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino gives you an evening out without a long drive, and West Lake Park offers a calmer, more natural counterpoint for anyone who wants water and shade instead of crowds.
The inn itself sits on the practical side of a cruise journey. Details like room amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in are handled on the property’s own official page, so it is worth confirming those directly before you sail. What matters for the ride is simple: it is a fixed address in Hollywood, and a private transfer can carry you and your bags there straight from the terminal, with nothing to sort out on arrival.
Once you clear the ship at the Port of Miami cruise terminal, your chauffeur is already there waiting — no line to join and no car to summon. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the terminal curb, and the run to Hollywood Gateway Inn is a single direct leg with no stops along the way. From the terminal on Dodge Island the route follows I-95 north, covering about 19.2 miles door to door.
Plan on roughly 34 to 52 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic, since disembarkation mornings put a lot of cars on the road at once. The pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guessed clock time, so a slow walk-off does not cost you the vehicle. Gas and standard tolls are already inside the flat rate, and you obtain full luggage assist at both ends of the journey.

Me encantó. Nada de llamar mil veces, nada de líos en el pickup.
Asientos cómodos. Interior limpio. Bajada rápida. Conductor profesional. Ahorramos 15 minutos vs la fila de Uber.
Tras una semana larga en el mar, tener el traslado ya resuelto hasta Hollywood Gateway Inn fue un alivio. Tenía todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal.
So glad I pre-booked — a smooth, easy handoff, no scramble at the port, door to door. The night before, I got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
Coming down the gangway on my own, the last thing I wanted was to drag my bags around looking for a ride at the port, so I had a private car waiting for the run to Hollywood Gateway Inn.
