From $89 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and InterContinental at Doral Miami Hotel covers 6 miles (9.7 km) in 12 to 20 minutes door to door, off-peak to peak, with a flat rate. A black SUV or climate-controlled van and a bilingual driver handle the short ride from the pier straight to the hotel in Doral.
Pricing below is per vehicle for the whole group, not per person.
Two vehicle classes cover this route: a black SUV for up to 5 passengers and a climate-controlled van for larger groups of 6 to 9 or 10 to 14. After you clear customs and walk out of the cruise terminal, your bilingual driver is waiting curbside, holding a name sign if you requested one over WhatsApp in advance. There is ample room for cruise luggage, so the whole party rides together with bags loaded in one stop. From the terminal the route runs west toward Doral via the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), reaching the hotel without transfers or detours. To reserve, message us on WhatsApp with your ship name, arrival date, group size, and terminal, and we confirm the vehicle and pickup time. The journey is door to door — you board at the pier and step out at the hotel entrance in Doral.
The drive covers 12 miles (9.7 km) and runs 12 to 20 minutes door to door, off-peak to peak. Off-peak, with light traffic on the Dolphin Expressway, the journey lands near the 12-minute mark. During peak windows — weekday rush hours and mornings when several ships disembark at once — anticipate closer to 20 minutes as terminal exits and downtown approaches fill up. The route stays short because Doral sits just west of downtown Miami, a straight shot from the port. Your driver watches conditions and chooses the cleanest path. Plan your day around the longer end if you have an early flight or a tight reservation, and you will have margin to spare on a normal departure.
InterContinental at Doral Miami Hotel sits in Doral, a business and resort district just west of downtown Miami and minutes from Miami International Airport. The property is a full resort with a golf course, spa, and pools, sought-after with both leisure travelers and conference guests. Doral itself is known for its golf, shopping, and dining, with simple highway access in every direction. You can review rooms and amenities on the InterContinental at Doral official site or check rates and reservation details through the IHG listing for the Doral property. Whether you are spending a pre-cruise night or staying on after your sailing, the hotel makes a quiet base away from the hectic port.
Doral and the surrounding area west of downtown offer a wide range of lodging, from resort-style stays to business hotels near the airport. If you would rather be closer to the water, the Brickell area and the Miami Beach side put you near nightlife and the sand, both a short drive from the port. We run your transfer to whichever address you choose.
Golf is the headline draw in Doral, with championship courses minutes from the hotel, plus a spa and pools on the property itself. Nearby you will find large shopping centers, Latin-American dining, and quick highway links to downtown Miami, the Wynwood art district, and the beaches. Miami International Airport is close at hand for onward flights.
The rate covers the full ride for your group with nothing to calculate at the curb. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all built into the price, so there is nothing extra for the highway. A bilingual driver — English and Spanish — handles your journey, and onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot for the whole party. Pets are not accepted; certified service animals are welcome with advance notice. Everything you require for the short hop from the pier to Doral is part of the one per-vehicle price.
Beyond the late-night premium, the rate stands as quoted. A booking outside daytime hours adds a surcharge detailed below. There are no per-bag fees and no separate fuel or toll add-ons. Anything not listed on this page is simply not charged.
If your ship docks late, your pickup re-times at no extra charge — we track cruise arrival times and adjust the driver to your actual disembarkation. Send us your ship name and date when you book so we can monitor it. You will not lose your ride or pay a re-booking fee for a delayed arrival.
Your driver meets you curbside right outside the cruise terminal as you exit, after you collect bags and clear customs. Request a name sign over WhatsApp in advance and the driver will hold it so you spot them quickly. Send your terminal number when you book and we direct the driver to the correct pickup point.
The price is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the single rate shown above. A couple pays the same as a family filling the SUV, and a van’s rate covers everyone aboard. Round trips are double the one-way for the same vehicle. Group size only decides which class you book.
Yes — disembarkation day is exactly when most cruisers book this transfer. Reserve in advance with your ship and date, and the driver is waiting curbside when you walk off. Because we follow ship arrival times, an early or late debark is covered without re-booking. The short run to Doral has you at the hotel quickly once you are aboard.
Yes — we run the return from the hotel back to Port of Miami for your next sailing or departure. A round trip is double the one-way rate for the same vehicle, arranged in one booking. Give us your return date and time and the driver is at the hotel entrance to take you back to the pier.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
