From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Westover Arms 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.
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.
Westover Arms Hotel sits in Mid-Beach, the stretch of Miami Beach that runs quieter than South Beach yet stays right on the ocean. This is Collins Avenue territory, a run of beachfront resorts and low-key blocks where the pace slows down without giving up the water. For travelers stepping off a cruise, it makes a simple landing spot: close enough to the action, far enough from the crush to feel like a real break.
The neighborhood gives you ample to fill a day. The Bass Museum sits just a few blocks south, and the beachwalk carries you along the sand in either direction. A little further out, the Faena District and Indian Creek round out the Mid-Beach map, so the region around your stay holds galleries, ocean paths, and a mix of dining without asking you to journey far. The Miami Beach Boardwalk is close by too, a simple walk once you have dropped your bags and desire to stretch your legs by the water.
When your driver pulls up to the entrance, the arrival is simple. Bags come out of the vehicle and go to the curb beside you, and the drop-off puts you right at the door rather than a block away. From there the rest of Mid-Beach opens up on foot, so the first afternoon can be as slow or as full as you like. It is the kind of base that suits both a rest day and a walk along Collins Avenue toward whatever caught your eye on the way in.
The ride is a straight, private run from the cruise terminal to the door of Westover Arms Hotel, no stops and no shared seats. Your driver follows Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 for the roughly 8.9-mile hop, a journey that commonly takes about 23 to 25 minutes depending on the hour. Traffic on the causeway and I-195 is the only real variable, which is why the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute.
Once you clear the terminal, your chauffeur is waiting at the curb, organized by message as you come out of the hall. Luggage rides in the vehicle with the group, carried for you at both ends, so there is no dragging bags across the port. From the moment the doors close it is one direct ride to the entrance of Westover Arms Hotel, with the car reserved for your party alone the whole way.

Made my trip easier. first time setting up a transfer like this and it went smoothly.
Smoothest disembarkation we’ve had — met right at the terminal, luggage sorted, straight to the door of Westover Arms Hotel. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
After our week aboard, my husband and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we pre-booked a private car to Westover Arms Hotel. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out. The SUV was spotless, and the AC was perfect after the ship. Made getting off the ship so easy.
We cruised with a group of friends and wanted all of us and the bags in one private ride to Westover Arms Hotel after disembarking. No line to stand in — we just went straight from the curb into the car. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Westover Arms Hotel. Getting to Westover Arms Hotel first thing meant we could settle in without waiting around. No scramble at the port — we just stepped out and the car was ready. Highly recommend.
