From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Indian Creek Hotel 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.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Indian Creek Hotel sits in Mid-Beach, about 7.4 miles by road from the Port of Miami cruise terminals. It is a small, low-key address on the quieter side of the island, close to the water yet a short reach from the resort towers and the arts scene that offer this stretch of Miami Beach its character. For a group stepping off a ship, it makes a peaceful base — the pace here is gentler than the crowds farther south.
The setting is what draws people. Mid-Beach runs up Collins Avenue through resort row, and the oceanfront boardwalk stretches its full length, so morning walks and beach time are steps away. The Faena District adds an arts scene between the towers, the Bass Museum of Art is close by, and Indian Creek itself threads through the neighborhood. Guests frequently fit in the Miami Beach Boardwalk and the Faena District once they land ashore, then circle back to the hotel between outings.
On arrival, your chauffeur brings you to the entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you, so there is no wrestling luggage across the sidewalk. Because the neighborhood is compact, the door drop is direct — the car pulls up, the group steps out, and the hotel is right there. Whatever you have planned for the days ahead, from the beach to the Bass Museum to a stroll along Collins Avenue, Indian Creek Hotel puts you within simple reach of it, with the water on one side and Mid-Beach’s resort row on the other.
Once your group clears the exit, the car is staged for the terminal curb, so you walk out and it is waiting. Pickup happens at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, with 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in to absorb customs and the luggage hall — the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival rather than a slot cut to the minute. Your driver loads every bag, from the terminal curb into the vehicle, and the ride is yours alone from start to finish.
From the port, the chauffeur follows SR A1A and the MacArthur Causeway for the 7.4-mile hop into Mid-Beach, commonly 24 to 26 minutes terminal to door depending on traffic and the hour. Traffic on those two roads is the only real variable, which is why the pickup is planned around your arrival with room to spare. At the end, the group is dropped at the entrance and the bags come to the curb beside you.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.

Vale cada peso. un comienzo tranquilo de las vacaciones.
Traveling with the whole family, we arranged a private van to meet us at the cruise terminal and take everyone over to Indian Creek Hotel. We knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
We reserved one van for the whole group from the terminal to Indian Creek Hotel so we all checked in together. No app to fight with — we just went straight from the curb into the car.
My wife and I had a great sailing and followed it with a private car waiting right at the terminal to take us to Indian Creek Hotel — not one worry at the terminal. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
We got off the ship with the kids ready for a nap, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Indian Creek Hotel a breeze. We were dropped right at the front door of Indian Creek Hotel, not on a corner with the bags. The fare was set up front, nothing added at the curb.
