From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Avenue Hotel Coral Gables in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
The Avenue Hotel Coral Gables places you inside one of the most distinctive corners of greater Miami. Coral Gables is a planned city of tree-lined boulevards, where old banyans arch over the streets and Spanish-style architecture sets the tone block after block. Checking in here means you are staying somewhere with a real sense of place, a neighborhood built around walkable avenues rather than a strip of look-alike towers.
Step outside and the character of the Gables is right there. Miracle Mile, the district’s signature stretch of restaurants and storefronts, sits at the heart of the region, and the historic Biltmore Hotel anchors the skyline neighboring with its landmark tower. This is a part of town made for strolling before dinner and lingering over a table afterward, the kind of setting where the walk between places is part of the appeal rather than something to hurry through.
The location also keeps you close to some of Coral Gables’ top-known stops. The Venetian Pool, carved from a coral rock quarry into a swimming lagoon, and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, with its palms and tropical plantings, are both within the neighborhood. Whether your journey is built around a few unhurried days in the Gables or a single night’s rest before an early departure, The Avenue Hotel gives you a peaceful, central place to settle in. Arriving straight from your cruise, you desire the last leg to be simple, and a hotel this well-placed makes the rest of the stay simple to plan around.
Your driver is assigned to your group alone and timed to your ship’s arrival, staged at your terminal before you finish clearing the hall. Tell us your cruise line and we position the vehicle at the correct terminal on Dodge Island, so once your group walks off you head straight to a reserved black SUV or van at the curb rather than hunting through a parking lot. Your bags are carried to the vehicle and loaded, and they stay with you for the whole run to The Avenue Hotel Coral Gables.
From the port the route follows US-1 toward the Gables, a single direct hop with no transfers and no shared stops along the way. Disembarkation mornings back up speedy at the terminal exits, but because the driver is already waiting, the wait is theirs and not yours. You are dropped at the hotel entrance with your luggage set down beside you, one flat fare locked at booking and settled without any cruise-morning surprises.
