From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Paradise Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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.
Paradise Inn puts you in Mid-Beach, the stretch of Miami Beach that runs up Collins Avenue through its row of oceanfront resorts. It is a coastal address, so the water is close from the moment you step out of the vehicle. Your driver takes you to the door of the property, and the drop-off covers the streets right around where you are staying rather than a distant curb.
The neighborhood around Paradise Inn has an easygoing rhythm. The oceanfront boardwalk runs the full length of Mid-Beach, which makes a walk along the sand a natural first move once the bags are inside. The Faena District sits between the towers neighboring, bringing an arts scene into the mix, and Indian Creek is close by as well. Collins Avenue keeps everything within reach, so you can settle in and then wander out on foot to the shoreline or the surrounding blocks.
Coming straight off a cruise, this is the kind of arrival that lets you shift gears rapidly. You are set down at the property, your luggage comes with you, and the beach is only a short walk from the door. Drop the bags at Paradise Inn, step onto the boardwalk, and the afternoon by the water is already yours. The region is built for exactly that pace, with the ocean on one side and the quieter Mid-Beach streets on the other, and Paradise Inn sitting in the middle of it as a base for the rest of the journey.
This is a private, terminal-to-door transfer from the Port of Miami to Paradise Inn. You are met curbside at your own ship’s terminal, not sent out to a parking lot, and the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation. Every booking carries sixty minutes of complimentary wait, so the pace of customs and the luggage hall never costs you the ride within that time. When your group clears the terminal, the vehicle is already there, and a bilingual chauffeur handles every bag from the curb into the vehicle.
From the pier it is one straightforward run to Mid-Beach along the Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195, normally about twenty-seven to twenty-nine minutes. The whole party rides together in a single vehicle, with the luggage stowed inside, and the driver takes you the whole way to the door of Paradise Inn. The flat rate you booked is the rate you pay, with fuel and typical tolls already inside it, so there is nothing to settle over on the day.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.

We weren’t about to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Paradise Inn. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
After our cruise, my husband and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we lined up a private car to Paradise Inn. An easy, smooth handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Paradise Inn with nothing left to sort out.
