From $89 per vehicle, a private one-way ride between Port of Miami and Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Coconut Grove.
These are one-way, whole-vehicle rates for travel to or from Port of Miami; the figure you see when you reserve is the figure you settle, unchanged by traffic.
The pickup begins where the cruise ends. Once your ship berths and you move through customs with your bags, the driver is already staged curbside at the cruise terminal — no rideshare lot to hunt for, no app to refresh. The timing follows your vessel’s real arrival rather than a fixed clock, so a long disembarkation queue or a delayed berth merely shifts the pickup instead of costing you the car. A meet-and-greet is part of every booking, and if you ask ahead the driver will hold a name sign as you clear the building, a $40 add-on that keeps the handoff simple in a crowded terminal on a hectic morning.
The hotel sits at 2835 Tigertail Avenue, a short distance inland from Biscayne Bay in Coconut Grove — Miami’s oldest neighborhood and one of its most walkable. Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Coconut Grove suits cruise travelers who want a kitchen-equipped suite for a single night or a longer stay after the sailing, and its Grove address places marinas, parks, and a compact village center within a few minutes of the door. Room details, luggage-hold policy, and check-in times are all listed on the Residence Inn official site.
The route is short and direct: roughly 6.5 miles from the cruise terminals to the hotel, covered in about 19 to 23 minutes along US-1 depending on the hour. With a private vehicle assigned to your party alone, the journey runs as a single leg — luggage loaded at the terminal curb, then a straight drive to Coconut Grove with no shared stops and no one else’s schedule to wait on. The flat one-way fare already folds in fuel, standard tolls, and help with your bags at both ends, so nothing extra is tallied along the way.
If you linger after the cruise, the Grove rewards it. CocoWalk anchors the village with open-air shops and restaurants a few minutes from the door, while Vizcaya Museum and Gardens shows off a bayfront Italian-style estate close by. Dinner Key Marina draws sailors and sunset-watchers to the water’s edge, and the Barnacle Historic State Park preserves an 1890s pioneer home beneath a canopy of old hardwood trees. All of it sits a short private ride from Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Coconut Grove, which makes the neighborhood an easy base for a day or two before you head home.
Plan on 19 to 23 minutes between the cruise terminal and the hotel, with traffic on US-1 the only real variable. Because the pickup is tied to your ship’s actual arrival, there is a cushion built in rather than a slot cut to the minute, so a slow morning at the port does not put the ride at risk.

Private, on time, and we didn’t have to worry about anything between the ship and Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Coconut Grove. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
We came off the ship ready for a real bed and a private car straight to Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Coconut Grove set the tone for the rest of the trip.

As a solo cruiser I arranged a private transfer from the terminal to Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Coconut Grove for the morning I got off, and it could not have been easier. It was a private car just for me — no one else’s stops — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
Para un desembarque tranquilo, mi esposo y yo hicimos que un conductor privado nos esperara en la terminal de cruceros y nos llevara a Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Coconut Grove. Teníamos una confirmación clara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal.
