Miami Beach hotel to cruise port transfers
Staying in Miami Beach before your cruise? We can collect you at your hotel, residence, or vacation rental and take you to PortMiami for embarkation. Tell us the cruise line, ship, and check-in time so your pickup can be arranged with enough time for the drive and terminal arrival.
Have everyone ready at the agreed hotel entrance with their luggage. Hotel and residence pickups include 15 minutes of courtesy waiting from the scheduled time. A separate one-way reservation covers the return trip after your cruise.
A private SUV or van for your beach stay
An SUV XL is a convenient choice for couples and smaller families. A passenger van gives larger groups a way to travel together, with categories for up to 9 or 14 passengers. Let us know about extra suitcases, strollers, and mobility equipment before selecting your vehicle.
Your exact pickup and destination determine the fixed fare. Additional stops require advance coordination. If your hotel cannot receive you yet, arrange luggage storage with the property before arrival.
Private Cruise Transfers for Families and Older Travelers
Travel together with your luggage
A direct private ride keeps children, parents and older relatives together. Request child seats in advance and tell us about folding wheelchairs, strollers and boarding needs so we can confirm a suitable vehicle. For Orlando and Key West trips, discuss rest stops before booking; extra stops are quoted separately.
Bilingual drivers and well-kept vehicles
Our English- and Spanish-speaking drivers provide courteous communication and coordinated pickups. We keep vehicles mechanically maintained, clean and carefully presented inside and out. Share your ship and flight details so we can plan your pickup and monitor arriving flights when the journey starts at an airport.
