From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Red Roof PLUS+ Miami Airport 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Red Roof PLUS+ Miami Airport sits in Miami Springs, right inside the MIA Airport District that grew up around Blue Lagoon. This is the part of town built for travel days: hotel rows line NW 36th Street, office parks trace the edges of the lakes, and expressways run out in every direction. It is a practical, well-placed base for anyone flying in or out, or spending a night between a ship and a plane.
The setting is simple to picture. The Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) and NW 36th Street are both close, which is what keeps the district so well connected to the rest of the city. Miami Springs Golf Course is within simple reach of the stay, and the lakes around Blue Lagoon offer the neighborhood a calmer feel than its hectic roads might suggest. It is a spot where getting somewhere is simple, whichever direction you are headed.
On arrival, the hotel side handles the details that matter on a transit day. You will locate the usual on-site amenities, along with luggage holds and early check-in when you require them, so a mid-morning landing or a late departure does not leave you stranded with your bags. When your ride pulls up, look for your driver at the main entrance rather than a distant lot. It is a straightforward, relaxing place to land after a cruise, and an equally simple place to leave from when it is time to move on.
This is a door-to-door private transfer that starts the moment you step off the ship. Your chauffeur is coordinated by message as you walk off, and meets your group at the terminal curb on Dodge Island, not out in a parking lot. Every bag is loaded for you, and it all rides in the vehicle with you the whole way, so nothing is left behind and nothing is transferred between cars.
From the port, the driver takes SR-836 straight toward the airport district, making the journey a single, direct leg to Red Roof PLUS+ Miami Airport. Plan on roughly 20 to 25 minutes depending on the hour, since weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch. Your pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, and the included 60-minute wait window at the port absorbs a slow gangway, so there is no rush at the curb and no meter running while you locate your feet.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
