From $89 per vehicle, a private one-way ride between the Port of Miami and Hotel AKA Brickell, cruise terminal straight to the hotel door.
Every fare here covers the entire vehicle for a single one-way leg between the Port of Miami and the hotel, locked when you reserve and unmoved by demand.
Cruise ships rarely release every passenger at the same moment, so the pickup keys to your vessel’s real arrival rather than a fixed clock time. Your driver stages near the terminal exit and waits while you clear customs and gather luggage — roughly an hour of that waiting sits inside the fare, so a slow immigration hall never costs you the transfer within that time. Meet-and-greet comes with every booking. Walk out with your bags, locate the assigned vehicle, and Hotel AKA Brickell is a short run away.
The trip runs about 3.1 miles from the cruise terminals to the door. Your driver leaves the port, picks up Southeast 2nd Avenue, and threads through downtown toward US-1 before crossing into Brickell. There is no real highway leg — nearly all of the distance is city blocks and traffic signals. Your bags stay with you the whole way and are carried to the entrance of Hotel AKA Brickell at drop-off.
Plan on roughly 12 to 14 minutes from the terminal to the hotel entrance, a little more or less with traffic.
Because the distance is so short, the clock is mostly about downtown signals and the hour you set out. Midday and evening congestion on the surface streets can add a few minutes, while an early disembarkation usually clears faster. Since the pickup follows your ship instead of a rigid slot, a busy road never turns into a missed ride.
Hotel AKA Brickell sits in Brickell, the high-rise financial quarter just south of downtown Miami and a quick hop across the water from the port. Step out of Hotel AKA Brickell and Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village are close for dining and shops, with the green of Simpson Park and the length of Brickell Avenue neighboring.

Your pickup shifts with the ship at no added cost. The driver tracks both the scheduled and the actual arrival, so a late berth or a long customs line simply moves the meeting time. The rate and the reserved vehicle stay put — no rebooking and no scramble at the curb.
