Ride private to or from Port of Miami and Habitation Hatt Hotel: roughly 35 miles, 61–76 minutes by I-95, reserved ahead at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle. One group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and a pickup staged for your ship’s arrival — never a shared shuttle.
Each rate below covers the whole vehicle one way, to or from the cruise terminals — never per person, never surge-priced.
The most reliable option is a pre-booked private transfer: a private SUV assigned to your group, timed to your ship’s arrival, staged at the terminal when you walk off.
The chauffeur loads the bags at the terminal curb and takes I-95, so the roughly 35 miles to Habitation Hatt Hotel is a single, direct leg.
At the hotel, look for your driver at the main entrance. At the port, the pickup is coordinated by message as you walk off, and the included 30-minute wait window absorbs slow gangways.
Guests here often fit in Anglin’s Fishing Pier and Datura Avenue once they land ashore, with the shore-dive reef and El Prado Park also nearby in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
The booking terms fit on one hand — deposit, balance, refund window, done.
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
Every reservation carries free wait time:
It feels closer to riding with friends than hailing a car — a better experience, personal and organized, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
The trip normally runs 61–76 minutes for the 35-mile route.
Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s rush — thousands of passengers walk off the ships at once — so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, with the I-95 traffic already priced into the plan.
Ships rarely clear all passengers at one exact minute, so the pickup is planned around your ship’s arrival with the included 30-minute wait absorbing customs and the luggage hall — you walk out, the vehicle is there, and Habitation Hatt Hotel is next.
Traveling with little ones after a cruise is routine for us:
Divers walk into the water here: the town’s reef sits just offshore, behind a main street of ice-cream shops and the old fishing pier.

Roughly 61 to 76 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.
When the schedule falls outside 7:00 AM–9:00 PM, this is the only adjustment:
An app assigns whoever is nearby, in whatever car they drive, at whatever the surge says. A reservation assigns a specific vehicle to your group at a fixed fare, staged for your ship’s arrival — a different product for a morning when everyone leaves at once.
There is also the wait itself. A rideshare is requested only after you clear the hall and hauls you to a pickup zone; our driver is coordinated by message as you exit, with 30 minutes of courtesy wait already included, and a schedule change on your side is a message, not a new fare.

Send the date, group size, and your ship and we confirm the vehicle to Habitation Hatt 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

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.

On international flights, the courtesy window stretches to 120 minutes.
For hotel pickups, there’s a 15-minute grace window.

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.
