This is a terminal-to-door private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami Airport East by IHG — about 7 miles and 18–22 minutes along SR-836 — booked in advance at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle, with a bilingual chauffeur and full luggage assistance included.
These are one-way, per-vehicle rates for transfers to or from Port of Miami; the price you book is the price you pay.
Book the ride before you dock and disembarkation becomes the easy part: your reserved black SUV meets you at the terminal and runs straight to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami Airport East by IHG, no stops.
From the pier it is one run along SR-836 — about 7 miles — ending at the door of Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami Airport East by IHG.
A gap between disembarkation and departure does not have to be spent at a food court: book the vehicle by the hour and see the city instead, bags safely aboard.
Reserving is simple: half now, half on the day, and a fair cancellation window.
If you stay on after the cruise, Miami Springs Golf Course and the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) are close by, with NW 36th Street and the Palmetto Expressway also nearby in the MIA Airport District.
Budget 18 to 22 minutes between Port of Miami and Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami Airport East by IHG, depending on the hour.
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 SR-836 traffic already priced into the plan.
Every booking gets its own vehicle and chauffeur — a superior service built around your sailing, not a pooled shuttle making the rounds.
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
Courtesy wait time is included on every booking:
The airport district around Blue Lagoon is built for transit days — hotel rows on NW 36th Street, office parks on the lakes, and expressways in every direction.
For rooms, parking, and check-in questions, the property itself is the source — see Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami Airport East by IHG’s official page.
Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:

When the schedule falls outside 7:00 AM–9:00 PM, this is the only adjustment:
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 Holiday Inn Express & Suites Miami Airport East by IHG is priced before any of that happens, and it cannot move.
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.
