From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Miami el Parche Hostal 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.
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.
Miami el Parche Hostal is a friendly, budget-minded place to stay set in the heart of Little Havana, one of Miami’s most lived-in and walkable neighborhoods. It draws travelers who desire to be close to the culture rather than sealed away from it, with the sounds and flavors of the district starting right outside the door. If your cruise has brought you into the city with a night or two to spare, this is a base that puts you where the action is.
The hostel sits near Calle Ocho, also known as SW 8th Street, the main artery of Little Havana. That means Cuban bakeries, live music, and the famous Máximo Gómez Domino Park are all within easy reach on foot. The historic Tower Theater and the well-known Ball & Chain are neighboring too, so evenings out never require a long trip. Downtown Miami and the port lie in a straight line to the east, which keeps the rest of the city and your ship comfortably close.
When you reach, you land in a neighborhood built for wandering. Murals, corner cafés serving strong Cuban coffee, and the steady click of dominoes give the streets their character, and everything sits at a pace that rewards slowing down. Because the hostel is a short, direct run from the port, you can drop your bags and step straight into the rhythm of the district. Whether you are here for a single night before flying out or a longer look at the city, staying near Calle Ocho puts you in the middle of the food, the music, and the everyday life that create this corner of Miami worth the visit.
This is a private, door-to-door transfer booked ahead of time, so the moment your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island the vehicle is already waiting for you. Your driver is organized by message as you exit the hall and meets you at the curb, then loads every bag and heads straight for Miami el Parche Hostal with no other stops along the way. The car is yours alone for the run, and the fare is locked at booking, so cruise-morning crowds never change the price.
The route runs a short, direct line from the port toward Little Havana, dropping you at the entrance with your luggage carried to the curb beside you. Your booking includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait at the port, which means the pace of customs and disembarkation never costs you the ride within that time. Clear the terminal, load the bags, and settle in for one straightforward trip to your stay near Calle Ocho.

We cruised with a group of friends and wanted the whole group in one private ride to Miami el Parche Hostal after disembarking. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
The two of us booked a private transfer for disembarkation morning so we wouldn’t deal with the port crowds getting over to Miami el Parche Hostal.
