From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ressidence inn West Doral in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Residence Inn West Doral sits in Doral, the corner of Miami that runs on two rhythms at once: business journey on weekdays and golf-and-getaway energy the rest of the time. Corporate Miami shares the same grid here as the dining and open-air feel of CityPlace Doral and the famous golf resort neighboring, so the address works equally well for a work journey, a tournament weekend, or a night before an early flight.
What you locate on arrival is a base that keeps everything close. CityPlace Doral and Trump National Doral are near at hand for dinner or a round of golf, and Downtown Doral and the Palmetto Expressway are close by when you desire to move across the city. That mix of restaurants, greens, and swift highway access is what pulls golfers and business travelers to this pocket of Doral in the first place, and it is why so numerous cruise passengers choose to end their day here rather than fight across town.
The point of a private transfer is to hand you that arrival cleanly. You come off the ship, your chauffeur is already staged, and the ride ends at the door of Residence Inn West Doral with your bags carried both ends of the journey. One group per vehicle, a chauffeur who speaks Spanish and English, and a single locked fare from the first message to the curb. No shuttle line, no dragging luggage across the port, just a direct handoff from the terminal to your room in Doral.
This is a terminal-to-door run of roughly 13.4 miles, and it moves as a single direct leg. Your driver watches the port schedule and shifts the pickup to your ship’s actual arrival, so the timing follows you rather than a guess made weeks earlier. When you clear the hall, the driver is already at the terminal curb on Dodge Island, organized by message as you walk off. Self-assist walkers are frequently out within the first hour; groups with checked luggage a little later. Either way the wait is the driver’s, not yours.
Once your bags are loaded at the curb, the route runs SR-836 straight toward Doral, which keeps the journey to one clean leg of about 29 to 36 minutes depending on traffic. Your luggage rides in the vehicle the whole way, gas and typical tolls are already inside the flat fare, and the ride ends at the entrance of Residence Inn West Doral with bag assistance at the door.
