From $150 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The link on sunset hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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 Link on Sunset is a hotel set in Sunset, a peaceful, residential corner of the Miami region, and it makes a simple landing point after a morning at sea. Book the ride before you dock and the walk off the ship becomes the simple part: your dedicated SUV is staged at your terminal, and the driver carries your bags to the curb and into the vehicle while your group settles in. From there it is a private run straight to the hotel, with no shared seats and no detours you did not ask for.
Sunset sits on the leafy, greener side of the region, close to the historic streets of Coral Gables and the shaded lanes of Coconut Grove. If a few hours open up between arriving and checking in, the wider city is within reach for a by-the-hour tour: Little Havana, Wynwood, Downtown, and Brickell for the energy, South Beach when you desire the sand, and shopping runs out to Dolphin Mall or over to Lincoln Road. Museums, arenas, and skyline photo stops all go on the plan if you ask.
At the hotel itself the handoff stays unhurried. The driver pulls up to the entrance, lifts every bag from the vehicle to the curb beside you, and the group steps into the lobby together. Because the vehicle is held for your party alone from pickup to drop-off, there is no waiting on strangers and no juggling luggage in a crowded lot — just a quiet arrival at the door, with the day still ahead of you.
The ride begins the moment you clear the terminal. Rather than a pickup slot cut to the minute, the driver follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, so an early self-assist walk-off or a later checked-luggage exit both work — you are met either way, and the plan is organized by message as you come out.
From the Port of Miami it is a single, direct run to The Link on Sunset, with your group and all your luggage riding together in one vehicle and no stops added along the way. Your bags go from the terminal into the SUV and back out at the hotel entrance, carried for you at both ends. The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, so nothing about the price shifts with traffic.
