From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to OYO Hotel Coral Gables in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
OYO Hotel Coral Gables puts you in Coral Gables, one of Miami’s most distinctive districts. This is a part of the city defined by broad boulevards lined with banyan trees and Spanish-style architecture, quieter and more residential than the areas around the port. For a group stepping off a ship, it makes a peaceful place to land — close enough to the water to feel connected, but set apart from the noise and crowds of downtown.
The hotel sits about 8.1 miles by road from Port of Miami, a simple run of roughly 23 to 27 minutes depending on the hour. That keeps you near the coast without placing you in the middle of the busiest streets. Miracle Mile, the restaurant-lined center of the district, is close by, and the historic Biltmore Hotel anchors the neighborhood a short distance away. Coral Gables rewards travelers who like to walk, with ample to see on foot.
If you decide to stay on after the cruise, the surroundings offer you room to discover. The Venetian Pool and the University of Miami are both within Coral Gables, adding to the mix of history, greenery, and good food already at hand. Our transfers reach every address in Coral Gables, so no matter where your plans take you across the district, we can carry your group there directly, with your luggage riding along and nothing left to arrange on the day.
Once your group clears the terminal exit at Port of Miami, your chauffeur is already staged at the curb — the wait is theirs, not yours. Bags are loaded straight into the vehicle, and you head out as one group in a car reserved for you alone. The route runs along SR-836 and Northwest 42nd Avenue, covering the 9.5 miles to the door of OYO Hotel Coral Gables in about 23 to 27 minutes, traffic depending.
The pickup is timed to your ship’s arrival, so no one is standing around after a long morning of disembarkation. On embarkation day the journey runs the same way in reverse: the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance, handles the luggage, and drives you to the terminal on a schedule built around your sailing. Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat fare.
