From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Premier Resorts & Hotel 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Premier Resorts & Hotel sits in Coral Gables, one of Miami’s most graceful neighborhoods and a simple run from the cruise terminals. The region is defined by streets shaded with banyan trees and a strong current of Spanish-style architecture, so the drive in already sets a calmer tone after a week at sea. The hotel keeps you close to the district’s landmarks while giving your group a quiet base to return to each evening.
Coral Gables gives you ample to fill the hours around your stay. Miracle Mile anchors the neighborhood with its run of restaurants and shops, and the historic Biltmore Hotel stands nearby as one of the region’s top-known addresses. The Venetian Pool, carved from old coral rock, and the University of Miami campus are both within reach, so a short outing rarely means a long haul across town.
When your ship clears the terminal on Dodge Island, this is the address the car is heading for, door to door. Details about rooms, dining, and check-in belong to the hotel’s own team; our part is getting your group and the luggage there in one peaceful ride. Tell us the ship and the arrival date and the vehicle is staged for the morning, ready when your group steps off and clears the exit.
From the pier it is one straightforward run toward Coral Gables along SR-836, and terminal curb to hotel door commonly takes about 21 to 25 minutes depending on the hour. Your chauffeur tracks your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, so the car is staged at the terminal by the time your group finishes disembarkation and clears the exit.
Everything rides in the one vehicle assigned to your group — passengers and every checked bag together, with luggage assist at both ends. The driver handles the loading, settles you in, and drives direct to Premier Resorts & Hotel with no added stops. Leaving for the ship on embarkation day works the same way in reverse: the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance, loads the bags, and heads for your terminal.

Our crew booked one van straight from the port to Premier Resorts & Hotel, and it was so easy. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Premier Resorts & Hotel, it was absolutely worth booking.
A group of us came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the port to Premier Resorts & Hotel. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. We went from the terminal to a real bed with zero hassle along the way.
We came off the ship ready for a real bed and a driver already waiting to take us to Premier Resorts & Hotel was exactly right. We went from the ship to the front desk of Premier Resorts & Hotel with nothing to worry about in between.
After our sailing, my partner and I didn’t feel like chasing a ride at the terminal, so we pre-booked a private car to Premier Resorts & Hotel. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out. We were dropped straight at the door of Premier Resorts & Hotel, not across the street.
