From $110 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Residence Inn Miami Sunny Isles Beach Hotel covers 16.2 miles (26.0 km) in about 48–59 minutes by black SUV or climate-controlled van, at a flat rate. There is room for cruise luggage, and the ride goes door to door, dropping your group right at the hotel entrance in Sunny Isles Beach.
The price is per vehicle, fixed at booking, and covers your whole party for the one-way journey.
Curbside pickup at your cruise terminal is the simplest way to handle this route. Once your ship clears, the driver meets your group as you walk out, and you climb straight into a vehicle reserved for your party. Pick the choice that matches your headcount: a black SUV for up to five travelers, a van for six to nine, or a larger van for ten to fourteen. Each has room for cruise luggage, so everyone rides together with bags loaded for you. The journey runs door to door and ends at the hotel entrance in Sunny Isles Beach — no transfers, no stops to drop off other passengers.
Message the dispatch team over WhatsApp with your ship name, terminal, headcount, and sailing date. They confirm the vehicle and time, and the slot is held for your group alone. Booking ahead means the driver is already assigned before you step off the gangway.
The drive covers 16.2 miles and takes about 48 minutes off-peak, stretching toward 59 minutes when traffic peaks. The route runs north along I-95, the main artery linking downtown Miami to the northern beaches, before turning east toward the coast and Collins Avenue. Mid-morning and early-afternoon windows move fastest. Weekday rush hours and hectic disembark mornings push the journey to the higher end of that variety, which is why the driver plans the departure around your terminal’s clearance time rather than a fixed clock.
When three or more ships clear within the same window, terminal exits and the I-95 ramps fill up, adding slow minutes to the first leg. The driver factors this into the pickup so your group is not left circling. Once clear of the port, the run north stays steady.
Residence Inn Miami Sunny Isles Beach is an extended-stay Marriott property set along the Sunny Isles Beach strip in northeast Miami-Dade, a short walk from the Atlantic shoreline. Suites come with full kitchens, which suits families settling in after a sailing or extending their journey before the next one. The location puts you on Collins Avenue, the beachfront corridor lined with sand, dining, and shops. See the Residence Inn Sunny Isles Beach overview for property details, and the Sunny Isles Beach visitor guide for things to do neighboring.
The Residence Inn itself is the easy choice for cruise travelers who want kitchen suites and beach access in one spot. If you prefer a different base, the wider Sunny Isles, Aventura, and Bal Harbour areas all sit minutes apart along the same coastal corridor, each with its own beach-and-shopping mix.
The beach is the headline — wide sand and calm Atlantic water steps from Collins Avenue. Aventura Mall, one of the largest in the country, sits a short drive west, and Haulover Park’s beach and marina lie just south. Oceanfront dining and the Newport Fishing Pier round out an easy first day off the ship.
The driver meets your group curbside as you exit the cruise terminal, on foot, ready to take your bags to the vehicle. Request a name sign over WhatsApp in advance and the driver will hold it at the exit, making the handoff swift even in a crowded disembark crush.
Yes — disembark-day pickups are the core of this service. Share your ship name and terminal when you book, and the driver schedules the pickup around your clearance time. As long as it falls within daytime hours, no surcharge applies, and your group rides straight to Sunny Isles Beach.
Reserve your private ride to or from Port of Miami and Residence Inn Miami Sunny Isles Beach Hotel by sending your ship name, terminal, headcount, and date. The team confirms your vehicle, locks the flat fare, and assigns your bilingual driver so everything is set before you reach the terminal.
