A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and Miami Beach International Hostel runs about 5.6 miles in 17–19 minutes via SR A1A and MacArthur Causeway, at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle — a reserved black 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.
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 Miami Beach International Hostel, no stops.
From the pier it is one run along SR A1A and MacArthur Causeway — about 5.6 miles — ending at the door of Miami Beach International Hostel.
Payment stays flexible while the reservation stays firm:
Guests here often fit in Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road Mall once they land ashore, with Lummus Park Beach and Española Way also nearby in South Beach.
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.
Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:
South Beach is where many cruisers stay the night before sailing: Art Deco hotels, Ocean Drive people-watching, and Lincoln Road shopping, all a short causeway hop from the ship.
Choose by headcount and luggage — every option is private and runs direct between the terminals and Miami Beach International Hostel.
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.
It feels closer to riding with friends than hailing a car — a superior service, personal and organized, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
The trip normally runs 17–19 minutes for the 5.6-mile route.
Traffic on SR A1A and MacArthur Causeway 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.
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
Courtesy wait time is included on every booking:
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
Roughly 17 to 19 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.
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 Miami Beach International Hostel 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 Miami Beach International Hostel.

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 international flights, the courtesy window stretches to 120 minutes.
For hotel pickups, there’s a 15-minute grace window.

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.

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.
