A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and Up Midtown Hotel runs about 3 miles in 14–17 minutes via Biscayne Boulevard and US-1, at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle — a private SUV with a bilingual chauffeur, luggage help, and pickup right at your ship’s own terminal.
Each rate below covers the whole vehicle one way, to or from the cruise terminals — never per person, never surge-priced.
Skip the taxi line and the luggage-on-the-sidewalk scramble — reserve a private SUV in advance and the terminal pickup is planned around your ship, not around app availability.
The chauffeur loads the bags at the terminal curb and takes Biscayne Boulevard and US-1, so the roughly 3 miles to Up Midtown Hotel is a single, direct leg.
Docked in the morning with an evening flight — or in town early? Our private hourly tours run from the port with your luggage stored securely in the vehicle the whole time.
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.
The booking terms fit on one hand — deposit, balance, refund window, done.
the Miami Design District and Midtown Miami sit within easy reach of the stay, with the Rubell Museum and NW 2nd Avenue also nearby in Wynwood & Midtown.
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.
Count on roughly 14–17 minutes terminal to door, light traffic to heavy.
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 Biscayne Boulevard and US-1 traffic already priced into the plan.
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
Every reservation carries free wait time:
Child safety seats are part of the service:
For an arts-first stay, Wynwood and Midtown deliver — the Wynwood Walls, indie galleries, food halls, and the Design District’s luxury storefronts.
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 Up Midtown Hotel is next.
Roughly 14 to 17 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.
Ships sail on their own clock — pickups outside the 7:00 AM–9:00 PM window carry a small surcharge:
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 Up Midtown Hotel is priced before any of that happens, and it cannot move.
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.
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 Up Midtown Hotel with the pickup staged around your arrival.
Message first rather than calling — we are often mid-service with other clients and answer texts fastest.
