From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Rex Resorts 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Rex Resorts sits in Miami’s MIA Airport District, the cluster of hotels and offices that grew up around the airport and the Blue Lagoon corridor. It is a practical part of town rather than a beach one, built for travelers who desire to be close to the runways and the expressways instead of the sand. The property’s door is at 1150 NW 72nd Ave, Ste 377, a spot that keeps you within easy reach of both the airport and the road network heading toward the water.
The appeal of this pocket of Miami is its position. From here the Dolphin Expressway feeds you straight toward the cruise terminals, so a night at Rex Resorts pairs naturally with an early sailing the next morning. Fly in, settle for the evening, and roll toward the ship without a long cross-town drive. It is the kind of base that suits a cruise itinerary, where the goal is to be rested and close to the departure point rather than sightseeing on arrival day.
What you find when you pull up is a straightforward, well-placed stay in one of Miami’s most connected districts. The surrounding Blue Lagoon region leans toward convenience, with the airport minutes away and the main highways at the doorstep. For anyone coming off a ship at PortMiami and heading here, that central position means a short, direct run rather than a slog through downtown. If you are building extra days around the district, Greater Miami’s official visitor guide is worth a look for what sits nearby.
The journey from your ship’s terminal to Rex Resorts covers about 9.3 miles and usually takes 20 to 26 minutes by way of SR-836. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal curb once your group clears the exit, so there is no hunting for a car after a long morning of disembarkation. The bags go straight into the vehicle at the curb, and the drive is a single direct leg over to the MIA Airport District.
Because the car is reserved for your group alone, the pickup is timed to your actual walk-off rather than a fixed clock, which matters most on busy weekend mornings when thousands leave the ships at once. Port of Miami pickups carry 60 minutes of courtesy wait, so a slow exit line does not cost you the ride within that time. From curb to the door at Rex Resorts, it is one calm, organized run with your luggage handled at both ends.
