From $89 flat: a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to JW Marriott Miami in Brickell, with your driver at the terminal.
Each fare below is the full price for the whole vehicle on a one-way run to JW Marriott Miami — locked the moment you reserve and unchanged by traffic, the calendar, or how many ships empty out the same morning.
The SUV takes a party of up to five with their cruise bags; the six-to-nine van suits a larger family group, and the ten-to-fourteen van moves a full sailing party and a week of luggage together. All three are private and run straight from your ship to the hotel in Brickell.
Your ship ties up at one of the terminals on Dodge Island, and that is exactly where the driver waits. As you walk out of the customs hall, a swift message on WhatsApp fixes the meeting point, and the car is at the curb rather than a distant lot. Send the cruise line and sailing time when you book so we stage at the correct terminal, and add a name sign to the reservation for $40 if you would rather spot your surname on a placard. Self-assist walkers are frequently out within the first hour and checked-luggage groups a little later, so every booking carries an hour of included waiting at the port to cover the slow shuffle of a hectic morning.
JW Marriott Miami sits at 1109 Brickell Avenue, just south of the Miami River in the Brickell district. The neighborhood stacks banking towers and rooftop restaurants a couple of bridges from the cruise terminals, with Brickell City Centre and Mary Brickell Village within a short walk and Simpson Park close by. The ride ends at the hotel’s own entrance rather than a neighboring corner, so after a week at sea you step out of the car and into the lobby. For rooms, parking, and check-in questions, the property itself is the source — see JW Marriott Miami’s official page.
From the pier the run to the hotel is short: about 3.0 miles, commonly 12 to 14 minutes along Port Boulevard and then US-1. It is one straight shot with no stops, so within a quarter of an hour of leaving the terminal your party is at the door in Brickell, cruise luggage and all. Weekend mornings crowd the port as several ships unload at once, which is why the pickup is timed to your actual walk-off rather than a fixed clock, with the short US-1 stretch already accounted for.
Yes, it is fully private. The vehicle carries only your party from the terminal to JW Marriott Miami — no strangers and no detours to pick up other passengers. Whether you select the SUV or a van, the whole run to Brickell belongs to your group alone.
Book both legs at once and the same flat one-way rate applies to each direction. On your sailing date the driver returns to collect you in Brickell and runs you back to your cruise terminal, timed to your boarding window. Reserving the round journey together keeps one driver and one confirmed pickup across both directions.
