From $89 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and JW Marriott Marquis Miami Hotel runs 5 to 30 minutes by black SUV or climate-controlled van, at a flat rate. A bilingual driver meets your group curbside at the cruise terminal, loads the cruise luggage, and drives door-to-door to the hotel in downtown Miami.
The fare is flat and per vehicle, locked when you book, with three sizes priced by how many seats your group needs.
The simplest way is a private door-to-door car booked before you sail. You pick the vehicle by group size: a Black SUV for up to five, a van for six to nine, or a larger van for ten to fourteen. Once your ship clears, the driver is already parked curbside at the cruise terminal, holding a name sign if you asked for one over WhatsApp. There is plenty of room for cruise luggage, so the whole party and every suitcase ride together in one journey. No standing in a taxi line, no transfers, no waiting for a second car. You confirm the pickup window when you book, share your ship and terminal, and the driver tracks the arrival from there. From the terminal it is a short hop across the bridge into downtown Miami, ending at the hotel entrance on Biscayne Boulevard Way.
Plan on 5 to 30 minutes between the cruise terminal and the hotel. Early off-peak runs sit near the low end, frequently under ten minutes across the bridge into downtown. The high end shows up on hectic disembark mornings, when three or more ships empty at once and the terminal access roads back up. Midday and evening traffic on the downtown grid can also stretch the drive. Your driver watches the terminal debark flow and times the pickup so your group is not left standing, then takes the quickest open route to Biscayne Boulevard Way. Because the fare is fixed, a slower-than-usual run never changes what you pay.
The JW Marriott Marquis Miami Hotel rises in the heart of downtown Miami, steps from Biscayne Bay, Bayfront Park, and the Brickell financial district. It is a luxury high-rise with a rooftop pool, full-service spa, and refined dining, making it a simple landing spot before or after a cruise. From the front doors you are minutes from the Brickell City Centre shops, the waterfront walkways, and the Miami Riverwalk. Read more on the official JW Marriott Marquis Miami Hotel Overview or browse the Rooms and Suites guide to plan your stay.
The downtown and Brickell area around the hotel packs in waterfront and city attractions within a short walk or ride. Bayside Marketplace and Bayfront Park sit along the bay for shopping, boat tours, and open-air dining. Brickell City Centre offers upscale retail and restaurants, while the Riverwalk traces the Miami River. Art lovers can reach the Pérez Art Museum and the Frost Science museum nearby on the waterfront.
The driver waits curbside right at your cruise terminal and meets the group as you exit. Request a name sign in advance over WhatsApp and they will hold it up so you spot them speedy in the crowd. They handle the luggage from the curb and walk you straight to the vehicle for the short ride downtown.
Yes — disembark-day pickups are exactly what this service is built for. Book ahead, offer your ship and terminal, and the driver is parked curbside as you come off, even on hectic mornings when several ships unload at once. Permit a little extra time for terminal traffic on those days; the fixed fare absorbs the slower run.
Lock in your private ride to or from the cruise terminal in a couple of minutes. Message us with your ship, terminal, date and group size, and we confirm the vehicle and pickup window right away. The car is held for your party the moment your payment lands.
