This is a terminal-to-door private transfer to or from Port of Miami and South River Suites — about 18.5 miles and 35–46 minutes along SR-836 and Palmetto Expressway — booked in advance at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle, with a bilingual chauffeur and full luggage assistance included.
Pricing is flat and per vehicle for the one-way run — the group travels together for a single locked fare, tolls and fuel included.
Skip the taxi line and the luggage-on-the-sidewalk scramble — reserve a reserved black SUV in advance and the terminal pickup is planned around your ship, not around app availability.
From the pier it is one run along SR-836 and Palmetto Expressway — about 18.5 miles — ending at the door of South River Suites.
The fare includes complimentary waiting:
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
It feels closer to riding with friends than hailing a car — premium service, personal and organized, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
Budget 35 to 46 minutes between Port of Miami and South River Suites, 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 SR-836 and Palmetto Expressway does the rest.
Choose by headcount and luggage — every option is private and runs direct between the terminals and South River Suites.
The rhythm of arrival day is simple: clear the terminal, bags to the curb, one direct ride to South River Suites — no shuttle line, no luggage-drag across the port.
Child safety seats are part of the service:
Around MIA, the Blue Lagoon corridor is pure convenience: fly-in, sleep, and roll straight to the ship the next morning on the Dolphin Expressway.
The hotel side — amenities, luggage holds, early check-in — is covered at South River Suites’s official page.
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.
Blue Lagoon and Miami Springs Golf Course sit within easy reach of the stay, with the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) and NW 36th Street also nearby in the MIA Airport District.
Reserving is simple: half now, half on the day, and a fair cancellation window.
At your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island — the driver is coordinated by message as you exit the hall and meets your group at the curb. Tell us the cruise line and we stage at the correct terminal.
As soon as your group clears the terminal — self-assist walkers are often out within the first hour, checked-luggage groups a little later. Your booking includes 30 minutes of complimentary wait, so the pace of customs never costs you the ride.
Yes. One seat for a child under 5 rides free on every booking; additional seats carry a small fee listed in the add-ons section of this page.
We watch the port schedule and shift the pickup to the ship’s actual arrival — no penalty, no re-booking. The same applies to delayed flights on airport legs.
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.
After a week at sea, certainty beats convenience-on-demand: the reservation carries a built-in wait window, luggage help at the curb, and a driver who has run these terminals hundreds of times.
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 South River Suites with the pickup staged around your arrival.
Text beats calling here: we may be serving another client, and messages are answered promptly between trips.

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 $20
The day before your ride, we’ll message you the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and its license plate, plus step-by-step curbside pickup directions.
No need to stress. We’ll message you the moment your flight touches down. If we don’t hear back quickly, the driver will automatically make his way to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll locate you; we never leave anyone stranded.
On domestic flights, we allow up to 60 minutes of waiting after arrival.
On international flights, the courtesy window stretches to 120 minutes.
For hotel pickups, there’s a 15-minute grace window.
For port pickups, we hold up to 60 minutes beyond the scheduled time.
This is uncommon, given that two complimentary hours of waiting are already built in. If you remain inside the airport past that point, the ride can be treated as a no-show. You may also ask for more waiting time, priced at US$ 30 for every additional 30-minute block, paid in cash straight to the driver.
Yes. Our drivers give a hand loading and unloading your luggage.
The standard limit is one large suitcase plus one carry-on for each traveler.
Bringing bulkier or extra items — additional suitcases, musical instruments, mobility gear, or strollers? Let us know beforehand so we can set aside the room. There may be an extra fee.
Yes. Small pets are welcome, provided they remain in a secure carrier. Please give us a heads-up in advance.
Yes. One free child car seat comes with the ride for kids under five. Need an additional seat? Request it ahead of time; it runs US$ 15.
We’d appreciate it if you didn’t eat while traveling. Only water in sealed bottles may be brought on board.
Unplanned stops aren’t part of the base fare. That said, if a short, nearby stop is set up in advance, we’ll do our best to work it in. A modest charge may apply depending on the extra time.
Yes. Give us a minimum of 24 hours’ notice and, subject to availability, we’ll move your pickup time.
No. The price we quote is what you pay — nothing hidden. A driver tip is optional and entirely up to you; it’s always appreciated.
Los chicos venían cansados, así que muy paciente con nosotros. nos confirmaron por mensaje la noche anterior
Driver knew exactly which terminal we were at Five minutes and we were loading up.
Clean car and a relaxed trip into Miami Beach Made the start of our stay easy.
