From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Jefferson Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
The Jefferson Hotel is your booked home base in Miami, and this ride is built to deliver you straight to its front door after you step off the ship. It sits within easy reach of the city, close to the water and the streets that create the journey worth taking, so settling in becomes the simple part of the day. Because the transfer is private, the drop-off happens at the hotel entrance on your own schedule, not at a rank somewhere down the block.
Walking in fresh off a cruise, you desire the last leg to be the easy one. Your chauffeur carries the bags to the lobby, so you reach with hands free and the check-in desk only a few steps away. Whether you land in the morning with hours to spare or roll up in the evening ready to wind down, the vehicle is yours alone from the terminal curb to this door.
Once the luggage is dropped, the city opens up. Guests staying here frequently set out for Wynwood’s murals and the cafes of Little Havana, or point the day toward South Beach, Downtown, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, and Brickell. Ask about a private hourly tour from the port and your bags ride along, stored in the vehicle, so an early arrival or a late flight becomes time spent seeing Miami rather than waiting on it.
The ride begins right at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur is waiting, timed to your actual disembarkation, with free wait time built in, so a slow customs line never costs you the car within that time. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the curb, with no dragging them across the lot, and the door closes on one direct run to the Jefferson Hotel.
From there it is a single clean leg to the hotel entrance. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone, so there are no shared stops and no detours to collect anyone else. Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat rate, which means nothing is tacked on when you reach. The chauffeur simply hands your luggage over at the lobby door, and the day is yours.

De crucero con los niños, no queríamos caos el día del desembarque, así que una van privada directo hasta Jefferson Hotel nos hizo el día. Había una ventana de cortesía desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para bajar del barco. Sin caos en el puerto — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
As a solo cruiser I pre-booked a private transfer from PortMiami to Jefferson Hotel for disembarkation morning, and it was the best call of the trip. I’ve already saved them for my next cruise out of PortMiami. It was a private car just for me — no one else’s stops — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
No íbamos a batallar con los pequeños y el equipaje buscando transporte en el puerto, así que coordinamos una van privada a Jefferson Hotel. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — el puerto quedó totalmente resuelto. Para llegar del barco a Jefferson Hotel de forma confiable, valió mucho la pena.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Jefferson Hotel. Getting to Jefferson Hotel straight from the terminal meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
Nuestro grupo bajamos del barco juntos y coordinamos una van privada del puerto a Jefferson Hotel. La tarifa estaba cerrada al reservar, sin nada extra en la acera. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no había duda de cuál era el auto al salir. Muy recomendable.
