From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Smart Brickell 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.
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 want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Smart Brickell Hotel sits in Brickell, Miami’s vertical financial district, where towers rise straight up over a walkable street grid. Step out the door and you are in the middle of it: Mary Brickell Village waits at street level, with shops, restaurants, and bars packed into a few short blocks that stay hectic from morning coffee through late dinner.
The location works whether your journey is business or downtime. Brickell City Centre is close by for shopping and dining under one roof, and when you want a breath of green, Simpson Park and the Miami River are both nearby in the same neighborhood. Downtown Miami sits just across the way, which keeps meetings, museums, and city landmarks within an easy reach of your room.
For anyone arriving off a cruise, the geography is the real draw: PortMiami is only a short run across downtown from Brickell, so the gap between the gangway and your hotel bed stays small. You settle into a central address and still have the water, the shops, and the city at your feet.
Once you clear the terminal on Dodge Island, your chauffeur meets your group at the curb and your bags go straight into the vehicle. From the pier it is one run to the door of Smart Brickell Hotel along US-1 and Port Boulevard, roughly 5.7 miles, with no stops and no detours along the way.
Plan on about 12 to 14 minutes terminal to door in normal conditions. The pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, so however the customs line moves, your car is there and waiting when you walk out.
