This is a terminal-to-door private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Cavalier South Beach Hotel — about 5.9 miles and 19–21 minutes along SR A1A and MacArthur Causeway — booked in advance at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle, with a bilingual chauffeur and full luggage assistance included.
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 dedicated SUV assigned to your group, timed to your ship’s arrival, staged at the terminal when you walk off.
From the pier it is one run along SR A1A and MacArthur Causeway — about 5.9 miles — ending at the door of Cavalier South Beach Hotel.
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.
Three private sizes cover this route; all of them go straight from your ship to Cavalier South Beach Hotel.
From the sand at Lummus Park to the pastel facades of Ocean Drive, South Beach concentrates the classic Miami Beach postcard — the Art Deco district, Española Way, and Lincoln Road — into one walkable grid.
Anything about the stay itself lives at Cavalier South Beach Hotel’s official page; the ride to the ship is our part.
Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:
Every reservation carries free wait time:
For a clean, surprise-free total, here is what stays outside the quoted price:
The trip normally runs 19–21 minutes for the 5.9-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.
We keep it personal: one group per vehicle, a bilingual chauffeur, and a better experience from the first message to the terminal curb.
Payment stays flexible while the reservation stays firm:
Ocean Drive and the Art Deco Historic District sit within easy reach of the stay, with Lummus Park Beach and the New World Center also nearby in South Beach.
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.
For the whole vehicle. The flat rate above covers your entire group one way — it does not increase per passenger.
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.
When the schedule falls outside 7:00 AM–9:00 PM, this is the only adjustment:
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 Cavalier South Beach Hotel is priced before any of that happens, and it cannot move.
After a week at sea, certainty beats convenience-on-demand: the reservation carries a built-in wait window, luggage help at the curb, and a driver who has run these terminals hundreds of times.
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.
