This is a terminal-to-door private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Doubletree Grand Hotel (The) — about 9.7 miles and 25–32 minutes along SR-836 — booked in advance at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle, with a bilingual chauffeur and full luggage assistance included.
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 reserved black 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 SR-836, so the roughly 9.7 miles to Doubletree Grand Hotel (The) is a single, direct leg.
Most cruises start with a flight — we also run the MIA and FLL airport legs on the same flat-rate, private basis, so the whole travel day can sit under one booking thread.
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.
It feels closer to riding with friends than hailing a car — better service, personal and organized, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
The trip normally runs 25–32 minutes for the 9.7-mile route.
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 does the rest.
The fare includes complimentary waiting:
The flat rate is honest because its edges are clear — these are not included:
Child safety seats are part of the service:
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.

Three private sizes cover this route; all of them go straight from your ship to Doubletree Grand Hotel (The).
Tell us the ship and arrival date and we stage the vehicle for the morning rush: self-assist walkers come off early, checked-luggage groups later, and either way the driver is coordinated by message as you exit.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 25 to 32 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 Doubletree Grand Hotel (The) 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.
A short message with your travel date, party size, and cruise line is enough — we reply with the confirmed flat rate and the terminal pickup plan for Doubletree Grand Hotel (The).
