A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and Buffalo Run Hotel runs about 16.7 miles in 34–50 minutes via I-95, at a flat rate from $115 per vehicle — a reserved black SUV with a bilingual chauffeur, luggage help, and pickup right at your ship’s own terminal.
These are one-way, per-vehicle rates for transfers to or from Port of Miami; the price you book is the price you pay.
The most reliable option is a pre-booked private transfer: a reserved black SUV assigned to your group, timed to your ship’s arrival, staged at the terminal when you walk off.
From the pier it is one run along I-95 — about 16.7 miles — ending at the door of Buffalo Run Hotel.
Most cruises start with a flight — we also run the MIA and FLL airport legs on the same flat-rate, private basis, so the whole travel day can sit under one booking thread.
Hotel pickups happen at the lobby door at the agreed hour. Terminal pickups are timed to disembarkation, with half an hour of free waiting so customs lines never cost you the ride.
Guests here often fit in Wynwood Walls and the Miami Design District once they land ashore, with Midtown Miami and NW 2nd Avenue also nearby in Wynwood & Midtown.
Reserving is simple: half now, half on the day, and a fair cancellation window.
Courtesy wait time is included on every booking:
The flat rate is honest because its edges are clear — these are not included:
Every booking gets its own vehicle and chauffeur — premium service built around your sailing, not a pooled shuttle making the rounds.
Budget 34 to 50 minutes between Port of Miami and Buffalo Run Hotel, depending on the hour.
Disembarkation mornings stack up fast at the terminal exits; your driver is staged before you clear the hall, so the wait is theirs, not yours, and I-95 does the rest.
The rhythm of arrival day is simple: clear the terminal, bags to the curb, one direct ride to Buffalo Run Hotel — no shuttle line, no luggage-drag across the port.
Traveling with little ones after a cruise is routine for us:
Wynwood’s mural-covered warehouses, craft breweries, and galleries sit a short ride north of downtown, with Midtown’s shops and the Design District right beside them.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 34 to 50 minutes terminal to door, depending on traffic and the hour.
Yes — the same flat one-way rate covers the reverse leg. Book both directions together and each pickup is planned around your ship’s schedule.
Plan on one checked bag plus a carry-on per passenger in the SUV; the vans carry proportionally more. Message us about oversized items and we confirm the right vehicle.
Yes — book both legs together (each priced at the flat one-way rate) and the return pickup is scheduled for your sailing date.
For dawn embarkations or late-night returns, a modest after-hours amount applies:
Disembarkation mornings are exactly when app prices spike: thousands of passengers request cars at once and an Uber or Lyft fare can multiply at the terminal curb. A reserved transfer to Buffalo Run Hotel is priced before any of that happens, and it cannot move.
Coming off a ship with the whole passenger list, the calculus is simple — a locked fare and a driver already assigned, instead of hoping the nearest car accepts a trip from the port at rush hour.
Uber and Lyft are trademarks of their respective owners; we are not affiliated with or endorsed by either, and any comparison reflects publicly available pricing.
Send the date, group size, and your ship and we confirm the vehicle to Buffalo Run Hotel with the pickup staged around your arrival.

Curbside pickup is our main approach. Just message us your exit gate and the driver will roll up within minutes — typically quicker than the classic sign-holding option.
Should you rather have the driver wait in the terminal holding a sign with your name, we can set that up too for $20
The day before your ride, we’ll message you the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and its license plate, plus step-by-step curbside pickup directions.
No need to stress. We’ll message you the moment your flight touches down. If we don’t hear back quickly, the driver will automatically make his way to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll locate you; we never leave anyone stranded.

This is uncommon, given that two complimentary hours of waiting are already built in. If you remain inside the airport past that point, the ride can be treated as a no-show.
