From $89 per vehicle — a private ride to or from Port of Miami and National Hotel, an Adult Only Oceanfront Resort takes about 10 to 30 minutes in a black SUV or climate-controlled van, at a flat rate. A bilingual driver meets your group curbside as you leave the cruise terminal and drives door-to-door to the oceanfront resort on Collins Avenue in South Beach.
Pricing is per vehicle and locked the moment you book, so the whole group rides for one fixed fare.
The simplest path is a private vehicle booked ahead and waiting at your exact terminal. Once you clear the gangway and customs, you head straight to a reserved car instead of hunting for a ride. Select the black SUV if your party is five or fewer, the larger van for six to nine, or the biggest van for ten to fourteen. Every vehicle leaves plenty of room for cruise luggage, so suitcases and carry-ons journey with you rather than holding up the journey. The driver loads your bags, then heads directly to National Hotel for a single door-to-door drop at the lobby on Collins Avenue. To set it up, send your ship name, arrival date, terminal, and passenger count over WhatsApp or the website, and the pickup is confirmed before you sail.
Plan on roughly 10 to 30 minutes between the cruise terminal and the resort. Off-peak, with light traffic, the journey sits near the short end of that window. On a hectic disembark morning, when several ships clear at once and South Beach fills up, the same drive drifts toward the longer end. The route stays short because South Beach is just across the water from PortMiami, but causeway and Collins Avenue traffic move at their own pace. Because the fare is fixed per vehicle, a slow stretch of traffic never changes what you pay, even on the heaviest cruise days.
National Hotel, an Adult Only Oceanfront Resort sits in the Art Deco heart of South Beach, directly on the sand along Collins Avenue. The adults-only property is known for its long palm-lined pool and direct Atlantic beach access, making it a quiet base steps from the busiest part of Miami Beach. You can confirm details and amenities on the National Hotel official site or check current rooms through National Hotel room availability.
The resort puts you a short stroll from Ocean Drive, Lincoln Road’s open-air shopping, and the Art Deco Historic District. The beach is right outside, and dozens of restaurants and cafés line Collins Avenue nearby. Washington Avenue and Lincoln Road, both familiar local landmarks, are only minutes away on foot.
This page covers transfers to National Hotel itself, but the surrounding South Beach area holds plenty of oceanfront and Art Deco lodging. If your plans shift, look toward the Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive corridor, where many beachfront properties cluster within a few blocks of the resort.
The booked fare already covers the things that commonly pile on extra costs. There are no hidden road fees and no per-person add-ons, so the number you see at booking is the number you pay.
Gratuities are optional and never added automatically. Trips that run outside daytime hours carry the after-hours fee listed below. Anything not listed in the inclusions above is simply not part of the rate.
The driver waits curbside right at your cruise terminal and greets the group as you walk out. Request a name sign in advance over WhatsApp and they will hold it up so you spot them instantly. From there, bags are loaded and you leave straight for National Hotel.
Yes. Disembark-day pickups are the core of this service, even when several ships clear together and the terminal is crowded. Share your ship and date at booking, and the driver plans around debark traffic so your South Beach ride is ready the moment you step off.
Yes, you can book both legs at once. A round journey is merely double the one-way vehicle price, with the same fixed rate locked for each direction. Booking the return up front means your ride back to Port of Miami is already arranged when your stay at National Hotel ends.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
