From $190 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to LaFrance Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
LaFrance Hotel sits in Delray Beach, on Florida’s southeast coast, with the shoreline only steps from the door. It is set up for travelers who desire the beach close, and plenty of arriving guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they step off the cruise. The setting is walkable and relaxed rather than sprawling, so once your bags are inside you can be on the water not long after you check in.
The neighborhood does a lot within a short walk. Atlantic Avenue runs nearby, a lively main street that leads down toward the sand and is lined with places to eat and browse. A little farther out you will locate the Morikami Museum and Gardens, with its quiet Japanese landscaping, along with Old School Square and the Wakodahatchee Wetlands, a boardwalk loop popular with people who like birds and a simple stroll.
Delray Beach began as a winter art colony, and it has kept that easygoing, creative streak: galleries, gardens, and a main street that still walks straight to the ocean. That is the mood you reach into at LaFrance Hotel, coastal and unhurried, close to everything. Your driver brings you right to the entrance, so the first thing you do is walk in with your luggage rather than hunt for the door. For anyone planning extra days, the wider Palm Beaches region opens up from here.
The ride is door to door. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you finish clearing the disembarkation hall, so the wait is theirs, not yours. You are met curbside at your terminal, not sent off to a parking lot to locate the car, and your bags go straight into the vehicle with a hand at both ends of the journey.
From the pier it is a single run north, no stops and no strangers along the way. Plan on roughly 72 to 87 minutes to LaFrance Hotel, depending on the hour, with I-95 doing most of the work. Tell us your ship and arrival date and the vehicle is staged for the morning rush, so you step off the cruise and into a car that is already waiting.

Our family of four came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded every cruise bag for the ride to LaFrance Hotel. No app to fight with — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there. We went from the terminal to a real bed with no stress at all.

Couldn’t have been simpler — met at the curb, luggage handled, and a comfortable ride over to LaFrance Hotel.
I was cruising solo and set up a private car to meet me at the terminal curb once the ship docked and take me straight to LaFrance Hotel. The fare was set up front, nothing added at the curb.
