This is a terminal-to-door private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Paradise Inn — about 10 miles and 27–29 minutes along Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 — 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.
Skip the taxi line and the luggage-on-the-sidewalk scramble — reserve a dedicated SUV in advance and the terminal pickup is planned around your ship, not around app availability.
From the pier it is one run along Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 — about 10 miles — ending at the door of Paradise Inn.
We keep it personal: one group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and a better experience from the first message to the terminal curb.
The trip normally runs 27–29 minutes for the 10-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 Julia Tuttle Causeway and I-195 traffic already priced into the plan.
The flat rate is honest because its edges are clear — these are not included:
Every reservation carries free wait time:
Traveling with little ones after a cruise is routine for us:
Mid-Beach stretches up Collins Avenue through resort row, with the oceanfront boardwalk running its full length and the Faena District adding an arts scene between the towers.
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 Paradise Inn is next.
With Mid-Beach right on the coast, a beach afternoon after the cruise is the natural next move — drop the bags at Paradise Inn and walk to the water.
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.
Collins Avenue and the Miami Beach Boardwalk sit within easy reach of the stay, with the Faena District and Indian Creek also nearby in Mid-Beach.
Payment stays flexible while the reservation stays firm:
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.
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. 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.
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 Paradise Inn 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.
Groups of 15 or more, or drop-offs outside the listed areas, are also arranged by message — write to us and we build the plan around your ship.
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.

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.
