A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and Attalos Hotel runs about 16.4 miles in 30–38 minutes via SR-836 and Palmetto Expressway, at a flat rate from $140 per vehicle — a reserved black SUV with a bilingual chauffeur, luggage help, and pickup right at your ship’s own terminal.
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 Attalos Hotel, no stops.
Your driver follows SR-836 and Palmetto Expressway for the 16.4-mile hop and drops the group at the entrance, bags carried to the curb beside you.
Child safety seats are part of the service:
The Kendall and South Miami belt is suburban Dade at its leafiest, with Dadeland’s shopping, Pinecrest Gardens, and the Deering Estate along the bay.
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 Attalos Hotel is next.
Every booking gets its own vehicle and chauffeur — premium service built around your sailing, not a pooled shuttle making the rounds.
The trip normally runs 30–38 minutes for the 16.4-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 SR-836 and Palmetto Expressway traffic already priced into the plan.
Every reservation carries free wait time:
For a clean, surprise-free total, here is what stays outside the quoted price:
The booking terms fit on one hand — deposit, balance, refund window, done.
Guests here often fit in Dadeland Mall and Pinecrest Gardens once they land ashore, with the Deering Estate and Baptist Hospital also nearby in Kendall & South Miami-Dade.
Leaving for the ship, the chauffeur meets you at the hotel entrance and loads the bags; coming off the ship, the car is staged for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit — with 30 minutes of courtesy wait built in.
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.
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.
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.
Coming off a ship with the whole passenger list, the calculus is simple — a locked fare and a driver already assigned, instead of hoping the nearest car accepts a trip from the port at rush hour.
