From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Stay Inn boutique 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.
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.
Stay Inn boutique hotel is a smaller, personal place to base yourself once the cruise is behind you, sitting where Hallandale and Dania Beach meet along the county line. It is the kind of property that keeps things simple: a lobby door to walk through, a room to drop into, and a stretch of South Florida coast just outside. Your driver runs straight here from the ship, so the first thing you handle on land is checking in rather than sorting out transport.
The region around the hotel gives you ample to do without going far. Gulfstream Park brings racing along with shopping and places to eat, while Dania Pointe adds a run of outlets and restaurants a short hop away. For a slower afternoon, the old-Florida fishing pier at Dania Beach is close by, and design lovers can wander the showrooms at the Design Center of the Americas. Because Hallandale and Dania Beach sit right on the water, a beach afternoon is the natural move once your bags are down.
For anything to do with the room itself, parking, or check-in timing, the hotel is the one to ask, since those details belong to the property and can change. What the transfer covers is the part between the terminal and the front door: one private vehicle for your group, a bilingual chauffeur, and help with every bag from curb to lobby. You reach rested, pointed at the coast, and free to start the trip on your own schedule rather than a shuttle’s.
This is a straight, terminal-to-door run. Your chauffeur meets your group at the exact terminal your cruise line uses on Dodge Island, coordinates by message as you come out of the hall, and loads the luggage at the curb. From there it is a single direct leg to Stay Inn boutique hotel along I-95, with no stops and no shuffling between vehicles. The car is reserved for your party alone, so the whole group travels together for one flat fare.
Plan on about 22.8 miles between the Port of Miami and the hotel, which runs 40 to 57 minutes depending on the hour. Traffic on I-95 is the only real variable, and that is exactly why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare instead of a slot cut to the minute. There is built-in wait time at the port, so customs and disembarkation lines never cost you the ride within that time.

Me quitó toda la preocupación de bajar del barco — facilísimo. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal.
