From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to JW Marriott 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
JW Marriott sits in Aventura, the residential and shopping district that spreads north of downtown Miami between the ocean and the marina-lined Intracoastal. Its address is 19999 West Country Club Drive, a resort-style setting where high-rise towers rise around greens and waterways, and the Intracoastal threads quietly between the buildings. It is the kind of stay that puts you close to the water without putting you in the middle of the crowds.
What makes the location work is everything within simple reach. Aventura Mall, one of the largest shopping centers in the region, sits neighboring, and Gulfstream Park adds its own mix of shops, dining, and racing just up the road. Turnberry Isle and Founders Park round out the neighborhood, giving you golf, green space, and a walkable stretch of Aventura once you have settled in. For travelers who like a base that balances shopping, water views, and quiet, this corner of Aventura earns its place.
Arriving straight from the ship, you reach the entrance with your group together and your bags carried to the curb beside you. From there the stay is yours to savor the towers, the Intracoastal, and the shops of Aventura are all right outside. Anything about the property itself is top confirmed with JW Marriott directly; getting you there comfortably and on time is our part of the day.
The ride begins the moment your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island. Your chauffeur tracks the ship’s arrival and is waiting at the curb as you walk out, so there is no searching and no line the vehicle is reserved for your group alone. Bags go straight into the SUV or van, everyone climbs in together, and the car pulls away for JW Marriott with no stops along the way.
From the port the route follows I-95 north toward Aventura, and the driver handles the traffic while you settle in. Disembarkation rarely runs to the exact minute, so the pickup is planned around when your ship actually clears rather than a fixed slot, with complimentary wait time built in to cover customs and the luggage hall. You step off the ship, the vehicle is there, and JW Marriott is the next stop.

viaje familiar con dos peques, trato justo, sin tonterías.
Para um desembarque sem estresse, minha esposa e eu combinamos de um motorista privativo nos esperar no terminal de cruzeiros e nos levar até JW Marriott. Na noite anterior recebemos uma mensagem com o nome do motorista e a placa, então não teve que adivinhar no meio-fio na saída. Tínhamos uma confirmação clara, então não havia o que adivinhar no porto.
We booked one van for the whole group from the terminal to JW Marriott so we all checked in together. We went from the ship to the front desk of JW Marriott with nothing to worry about in between. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship.
