From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to JP’S Beachside Suites 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.
JP’S Beachside Suites is a beachside place to stay in Hollywood, Florida, the easygoing town that sits about halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. That in-between spot is part of the appeal: you are close to the energy of two cities yet parked in a quieter, salt-air stretch of coast that keeps its own beach-town rhythm. When the car pulls up, your group steps out together and the driver carries the bags to the entrance, so the first thing you do after a cruise is settle in rather than sort out logistics.
Step outside and the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk is the local anchor — a long, flat promenade hugging the sand where people stroll, ride, and drift between cafes without a car in sight. Inland, ArtsPark at Young Circle gathers open lawns, public art, and regular events into one green gathering point, an easy change of pace from the shoreline when you want a little shade and something to look at.
There is more within reach of the same neighborhood. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino brings dining, live entertainment, and late nights to the region, while West Lake Park opens up mangrove waterways and quiet trails for anyone who would rather trade the boardwalk for a paddle or a walk. Between the Broadwalk out front, the park scenes nearby, and two main cities a short drive in either direction, JP’S Beachside Suites gives a cruise group a genuine coastal base — the kind of arrival where the beach is steps away and the rest of South Florida is still an choice.
Your driver is already staged before you clear the terminal hall, so the wait belongs to them, not to you. Disembarkation mornings pile up fast at the exits — self-assist walkers tend to come off first, checked-luggage groups a little later — and either way you are organized by message as you step off, then met at the curb of your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Tell us your cruise line and arrival date and the vehicle is positioned at the right spot for the morning.
From there it is a straight run north to Hollywood, roughly 43 to 59 minutes door to door depending on traffic. The bags go into the vehicle with you, the fare is locked at booking with tolls and fuel already inside, and the group rides together the whole way. When you reach JP’S Beachside Suites, the driver pulls up to the entrance and hands the luggage down beside you, so the trip ends at the door with nothing left to settle.

The eight of us came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the cruise terminal to JP’S Beachside Suites. There was room for everyone for the whole group and the whole pile of suitcases in one van to JP’S Beachside Suites.
Tudo saiu conforme o planejado do porto até a porta de JP’S Beachside Suites — não dá para pedir mais. A última coisa que se quer depois de uma semana no mar é uma viagem que não acontece, e esta foi totalmente sólida.
The group of us walked off at once and it was a relief to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to JP’S Beachside Suites — nobody splitting up. We went from the ship to the front desk of JP’S Beachside Suites with zero hassle along the way. We knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
My husband and I finished a wonderful cruise and followed it with a private car ready at the curb to take us to JP’S Beachside Suites — no fuss at the port. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out.
