From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Miami South Beach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Miami South Beach Resort is a private terminal-to-door destination for travelers arriving by ship at Port of Miami. The resort sits in the South Beach region of the city, so your chauffeur delivers you and your luggage right to the entrance rather than a distant drop-off point. After a long sailing, that means one peaceful handoff from the pier to your room, with no second stop before you settle in.
Step outside the resort and the top of Miami is close at hand. South Beach and its long stretch of sand define the neighborhood, while Lincoln Road offers an open-air run of shops and cafés. When you feel like wandering farther, Downtown, Brickell, Coconut Grove, and Coral Gables each sit within a simple ride, and Dolphin Mall covers a longer shopping list.
The city rewards a little exploring, and the resort makes a good base for it. The murals of Wynwood and the cafés of Little Havana are Miami staples, and the region’s museums and landmarks reward an afternoon at your own pace. If a gap opens between disembarkation and your next plan, you can keep the same vehicle by the hour and see the city with your bags safely aboard, then return to the resort whenever you like. Your driver knows the port and the roads that connect it to South Beach, so the journey stays simple in either direction.
The ride begins the moment you clear the terminal hall. Your chauffeur is staged at the curb before you finish disembarkation, watching for your group so the waiting is theirs, not yours. Every booking includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait at the port, which covers the unpredictable pace of customs and baggage on a hectic cruise morning. Your bags go into the vehicle for you, and the whole group rides together in one private vehicle.
From the pier it is a single run to Miami South Beach Resort along I-95, generally 39 to 55 minutes depending on the hour. The fare is fixed at booking, so the cruise-morning rush never changes what you pay. When you reach the resort, your driver brings the vehicle to the door and helps with the luggage again, ending the journey at the entrance rather than at a curb down the block.

Our whole crew walked off at once and it was a relief to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Miami South Beach Resort — everyone in one vehicle. No lot to comb through — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there. The fare was fixed when we booked, the same number we were quoted.
Para un desembarque sin estrés, mi esposo y yo hicimos que un conductor privado nos esperara en la terminal de cruceros y nos llevara a Miami South Beach Resort. El viaje de la terminal a Miami South Beach Resort fue fácil todo el camino, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue confiable y puntual.
Our family of five came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded every cruise bag for the ride to Miami South Beach Resort. The fare was fixed when we booked, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning. Booking was simple, we got clear pickup details, and everything went exactly as planned.
