From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove Hotel sits in Coconut Grove, one of Miami’s oldest and leafiest neighborhoods, roughly 6.7 miles by road from the Port of Miami cruise terminals. The Grove keeps a real village feel under a canopy of banyan trees — sidewalk dining, quiet side streets, and the sailboats moored along Dinner Key offer the region a slower rhythm than the downtown blocks you leave behind at the port. It is a simple, peaceful place to land after a week at sea.
Step outside the hotel and the neighborhood opens up on foot. CocoWalk, with its shops and restaurants, is close by, and Vizcaya Museum and Gardens sits up the road with its formal gardens and villa overlooking the bay. Peacock Park and the Barnacle Historic State Park are both neighboring, good for a walk under the trees or a look at the historic side of Coconut Grove. The canopied streets of the Grove and neighboring Coral Gables reward anyone who wants to wander for an afternoon.
Your chauffeur brings you straight to the main entrance and carries the bags from the vehicle to the curb beside you, so the last stretch of the journey stays simple. Service reaches every address in Coconut Grove, and the price already covers gas, typical tolls, and bag assistance, so nothing extra is added when you reach. Look for your driver at the main entrance when it is time to head back.
Book the ride before you dock and disembarkation becomes the simple part. Your dedicated vehicle is staged for your ship’s actual arrival, and the pickup is organized by message as you walk off the gangway, with an included 60-minute wait window that absorbs a slow disembarkation. There is one group per vehicle and no second stop — straight from the terminal to the hotel.
From the port the driver follows US-1 for the short 6.7-mile run to the Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove Hotel, roughly 20 to 22 minutes depending on the hour. Your luggage rides with you in the vehicle the whole way, and the driver drops the group at the main entrance with the bags carried to the curb. Traffic on US-1 is the only real variable, which is why the pickup follows your ship rather than a fixed slot.

Bajando del barco por mi cuenta, tenía un conductor ya en la acera para el viaje a Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove Hotel — sin caos en el puerto. Tenía todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal. Llegar a Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove Hotel sin vueltas significó que pude hacer el check-in y por fin darme una ducha tras la semana en el mar. Sin estrés alguno.
No port scramble — I walked off the ship and a clean, private car was right there, then straight to Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove Hotel. Highly recommend. Booking was easy, I got a solid confirmation, and everything matched what I was told.
There were seven of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove Hotel was far simpler than splitting into cars. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove Hotel.

Booking was simple, we got clear pickup details, and everything lined up perfectly. Would book again for the next cruise.
We booked one van for the whole group from the terminal to Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove Hotel so we all checked in together.
