From $89 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Hyatt Regency Coral Gables, Curio Collection by Hilton Hotel covers 6 miles (9.7 km) in about 11–18 minutes door to door, in a black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, at a flat rate. One reserved car carries your whole cruise party, with room for luggage, straight to the hotel lobby.
The fare is per vehicle, locked when you book, and depends only on group size — pick the tier that fits your party.
The simplest route is a pre-booked private vehicle waiting at your cruise terminal the moment you clear the gangway. Select the Black SUV for parties up to 5, the mid van for 6 to 9, or the large van for 10 to 14. Your driver meets the group curbside, helps load suitcases, and drives the short 6-mile run to the hotel entrance — no transfers, no waiting in a queue, no second leg. To reserve, send your ship name, arrival date, terminal, group size, and hotel direction over WhatsApp or the website; you receive a written confirmation with the flat fare and pickup plan. There is ample room for cruise luggage in every vehicle, so large checked bags and carry-ons ride with you rather than being left behind. The same booking works in reverse on departure day, leaving the hotel for the port.
Message us on WhatsApp or the website with your ship name, sail date, embarkation or disembarkation terminal, passenger count, and which direction you need. We reply with the exact vehicle tier, the flat fare, and your driver’s pickup instructions in writing. Booking ahead means your car is reserved and the price is fixed before you ever step off the ship.
The drive covers 9 miles and takes about 27 minutes off-peak, rising toward 18 minutes at peak hours. Most of the journey runs southwest from the port across the MacArthur or Dodge Island causeway and onto the surface arteries toward Coral Gables. Timing shifts with cruise-terminal congestion: when three or more ships disembark on the same morning, the roads around the port move slowly, and the early minutes of your ride absorb that crawl before traffic opens up. Midday and evening runs sit at the reduced end of the variety. Because your fare is set in advance, a longer ride caused by traffic or a late gate does not change the price — the meter never moves on a flat-rate booking. Plan for the upper end of the window if you book a morning pickup on a heavy debark day, and the reduced end for an afternoon or evening transfer.
The Hyatt Regency Coral Gables, Curio Collection by Hilton, is a Mediterranean-style hotel in the Coral Gables district, a leafy, walkable region known for the Miracle Mile shopping and dining strip, art galleries, and the University of Miami neighboring. From the lobby you are minutes from the historic Venetian Pool, the Biltmore golf grounds, and a string of restaurants along Aragon and Ponce de Leon. The neighborhood sits southwest of downtown Miami, so it stays quieter than the beachfront while keeping simple reach of the airport and the financial district. For room types, amenities, and direct booking, see the official Hyatt Regency Coral Gables page, and for guest reviews and photos check this Coral Gables hotel overview.
Within a short walk you can stroll Miracle Mile’s boutiques and bridal shops, dine along Giralda Plaza, or visit the 1920s Venetian Pool. The Biltmore Hotel grounds, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, and Matheson Hammock Park are a brief drive away. The district mixes Spanish-revival architecture with banyan-lined streets, making it an easy base for both leisure and business travelers.
Your fare covers the private vehicle, the bilingual driver (English and Spanish), and all road costs.
Beyond the flat fare, only a few situations add cost. Trips that run outside daytime hours carry the after-hours surcharge described further down. Everything else for the standard run — the driver, road tolls, fuel, and WiFi — is already inside the price you confirm.
The driver waits curbside right outside your cruise terminal and meets the group as you exit, holding a name sign if you request one over WhatsApp in advance. You won’t hunt through a rideshare lot — pickup happens at the terminal door. Share your terminal letter or number when booking so the driver positions at the correct exit.
Yes — disembarkation day is the most common booking. Reserve in advance with your ship name and terminal, and the driver is waiting curbside when you walk off, even during hectic mornings with multiple ships clearing at once. Because pickup tracks your actual debark time, an early or delayed exit is handled without losing your reserved vehicle.

Send your ship name, sail date, terminal, group size, and direction, and we’ll confirm your vehicle, your flat fare, and your driver in writing.

Reserva fácil e sem stress: primeira vez organizando um transfer assim e deu tudo certo, não precisamos esperar nada, coube o carrinho do bebê e as malas. (estávamos com 4 malas grandes)
Recomiendo totalmente. se portó como un caballero. el baúl entró cuatro maletas grandes más las de mano. Ya guardamos el número para el próximo viaje.
