A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport Doral Area by IHG runs about 12.6 miles in 27–35 minutes via SR-836, at a flat rate from $100 per vehicle — a private SUV with a bilingual chauffeur, luggage help, and pickup right at your ship’s own terminal.
Pricing is flat and per vehicle for the one-way run — the group travels together for a single locked fare, tolls and fuel included.
The most reliable option is a pre-booked private transfer: a private SUV assigned to your group, timed to your ship’s arrival, staged at the terminal when you walk off.
The chauffeur loads the bags at the terminal curb and takes SR-836, so the roughly 12.6 miles to Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport Doral Area by IHG is a single, direct leg.
If you stay on after the cruise, CityPlace Doral and Downtown Doral are close by, with the Palmetto Expressway and Doral Central Park also nearby in Doral.
Payment stays flexible while the reservation stays firm:
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.
If your itinerary includes MIA or FLL, ask for the airport leg when you message us: same vehicles, same flat pricing, one coordinated plan for the day.
Golfers and business travelers gravitate to Doral, where CityPlace’s dining and the famous golf resort share the grid with corporate Miami.
Anything about the stay itself lives at Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport Doral Area by IHG’s official page; the ride to the ship is our part.
Company cruise, incentive sailing, or a client event at the port — a fixed fare and a scheduled vehicle from Holiday Inn Express Miami Airport Doral Area by IHG keep the itinerary accountable.
Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:
Courtesy wait time is included on every booking:
For a clean, surprise-free total, here is what stays outside the quoted price:
Count on roughly 27–35 minutes terminal to door, light traffic to heavy.
Traffic on SR-836 is the only variable, which is why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute.
It feels closer to riding with friends than hailing a car — premium service, personal and organized, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
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:
The difference shows at 8 AM on a turnaround Saturday: app queues and climbing multipliers at the port exits on one side; on the other, a chauffeur already staged at your terminal at a fare set days ago.
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.
