From $130 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Richard’s Hotel 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.
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.
Richard’s Hotel sits in Hollywood, a coastal city that lines the ocean just up the shore from downtown Miami. By road it lands about 19.3 miles from the Port of Miami cruise terminals, close enough that a morning disembarkation and an afternoon by the water fit comfortably into the same day. The hotel puts you in a part of South Florida built around the beach rather than the skyline, which sets a slower tone the moment you reach.
What greets most travelers first is how near the water everything is. Hollywood’s brick Broadwalk traces the sand for two and a half miles, an oceanfront path you can reach on foot once your bags are inside. Drop your luggage at Richard’s Hotel and a beach afternoon becomes the natural next move — no extra planning, just a short walk from the door to the surf.
Inland, the city keeps its own character. Young Circle anchors a low-key downtown of cafes and small shops, and the Hard Rock’s guitar-shaped tower rises further from the coast as an easy landmark. Details on the hotel itself — luggage holds, early check-in, the on-site amenities — live on Richard’s Hotel’s own page, so you can confirm the specifics before you sail. Your driver delivers the group straight to the entrance, bags carried to the curb beside you, and the rest of the stay is yours to shape.
The run is door to door and yours alone. Your chauffeur meets the group at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, timed to the ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, with an hour of free waiting so customs lines never cost you the ride within that time. Every bag goes into the vehicle at the terminal curb, and from there it is a straight trip to Richard’s Hotel with no stops and no other passengers sharing the space.
From the port, the driver follows I-95 for the 19.3-mile hop north to Hollywood. Expect roughly 37 to 54 minutes terminal to door, with traffic on the interstate the main variable and the reason the pickup is staged with room to spare. At the hotel the group is dropped at the entrance, luggage set down beside you, and the fare stays flat for the whole vehicle one way.

Llegamos al hotel justo para el check-in.
Mi pareja y yo no queríamos el caos de taxis afuera de la terminal, así que reservamos un viaje privado a Richard’s Hotel antes de zarpar. Reservar fue simple, recibimos todo por escrito, y todo coincidió con lo prometido.
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and a comfortable ride over to Richard’s Hotel.
The little ones were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Richard’s Hotel in one piece.
No quería andar buscando un transporte la mañana en que bajé del barco, así que coordiné un auto privado del puerto a Richard’s Hotel. Sin pelear con una app — caminé de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. Ya guardé el contacto para mi próximo crucero desde PortMiami.
