From $89 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to SLS Hotel and Residences Brickell, driver to door.
Each fare below buys the whole vehicle one way, terminal to door — one group only, never a per-head charge and never a cruise-morning surge.
Book before you sail and disembarkation stops being the hard part. The driver tracks the assigned cruise terminal on Dodge Island, stays in touch by message as the gangway opens, and waits at the curb outside the terminal rather than in a distant lot. Name the cruise line when booking and the pickup is staged at the correct berth. Every reservation leaving the port carries 60 minutes of free wait, so a slow customs hall does not cost the ride. A held name sign is available on request for $40, positioned where passengers clear the building.
The tower stands in Miami’s high-rise financial district at 1300 S Miami Ave, a short walk from Mary Brickell Village and close to Brickell City Centre. Drop-off is the entrance itself, with bags carried to the curb beside the group. Anything about rooms and dining lives on the property’s own SLS Brickell page; the ride to and from the ship is the piece arranged here. Guests who settle in early often wander to Simpson Park or down toward the Miami River once the drive ends.
The distance is small — about 3.1 miles from the cruise terminals to the Brickell address. The driver rolls out of the port on Port Boulevard, joins US-1, and heads straight to the entrance with no side trips. A private car keeps the route to one party: no seat shared with strangers, no swing by another booking. It feels closer to a lift from a friend than to flagging down whatever car sits nearest the terminal at rush hour.
Plan on roughly 12 to 14 minutes from the terminal door to Brickell, light traffic or heavy. Disembarkation mornings stack up quickly at the terminal exits, so the driver is in place before the group clears the hall — the waiting belongs to the driver, and Port Boulevard into US-1 handles the rest. The reverse leg back to the port runs the same short window, with departure timed to the sailing.
The full fare is paid when you book, and that locks the date. The amount is the agreed vehicle fare for the group.
Yes. The same private car covers the return from Brickell to the cruise terminals, priced as its own one-way leg. Book both directions in one message and a single driver with a confirmed pickup time carries the sailing out and the ride home.

Viaje cómodo, recogida fácil, y un conductor que sabía exactamente a dónde ir. Lo reservaría de nuevo. Ya guardamos el contacto para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami.
Cruising with the family, we didn’t want any disembarkation-day chaos, so a private van waiting at the terminal SLS Hotel and Residences Brickell was worth every bit. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs. The SUV was clean, cool, and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
El grupo entero bajamos de una y fue un alivio tener una van privada lista en la acera para el viaje a SLS Hotel and Residences Brickell — todos en un solo vehículo. Había treinta minutos de margen desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para bajar del barco.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to SLS Hotel and Residences Brickell. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to lift a thing. The SUV was fresh and comfortable, and there was space for everything. Would book again for the next cruise.
