From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to International Inn on the Bay 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.
International Inn on the Bay sits about 10.5 miles by road from the Port of Miami, out along the peaceful northern end of the barrier island. This is the quiet stretch that Surfside and Bal Harbour set the tone for, where the sand runs broad and uncrowded and the pace slows the moment you reach. After a cruise, it is a simple place to land: close enough to the terminal for a short run, far enough north to feel like a real break from the port.
Step outside and the neighborhood does most of the work. The Bal Harbour Shops are close by, and the Surfside beachwalk gives you an open, walkable path along the water. Haulover Park and Collins Avenue are neighboring too, threading up through North Beach, so a morning stroll or an afternoon on the sand never asks for much planning. It is a compact, low-key corner of the coast rather than a crowded strip.
When your car reaches the property, the driver pulls up to the main entrance and helps with every bag from the curb, so the last few steps of a long journey day stay simple. If you decide to stay on after the sailing, the same address keeps you within reach of the shops, the beach, and the parks without needing a second base. And if you have hours to fill before a flight, the northern beaches, North Beach, and the wider barrier island are all right here, a simple starting point for whatever you desire the rest of the day to look like.
The journey runs door to door as a private ride for your group alone. Your driver follows I-95 and Northwest 79th Street for the roughly 10.5-mile hop from the terminal to the hotel, a drive that commonly takes 29 to 34 minutes depending on the hour. Traffic on that stretch is the only real variable, which is why the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute.
You will not manage anything on the way. The driver meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, carries your bags to the car, and keeps them stored in the vehicle for the whole run. From there it is a single, direct journey to the main entrance at International Inn on the Bay, where the same driver helps you unload at the curb. One group, one car, one locked fare.
