Coral Gables to PortMiami at a glance
Coral Gables pricing
Coral Gables is outside our published hotel-zone table, so we give you one fixed, all-inclusive quote per vehicle before you book — gratuity, tolls and fees included, no meter and no surge. As a guide, the drive is about 9–11 miles and 20–35 minutes. Call (305) 433-4568 or request a quote online.
Route to the port
From central Coral Gables we take US-1 (South Dixie Highway) to I-95 north and I-395, or LeJeune Road north to SR-836 east — the same expressway MIA traffic uses. The quickest choice depends on the morning; both end on the Port Boulevard bridge.
Staying in Coral Gables after flying into MIA
Coral Gables is only about 5–6 miles from Miami International, which makes it a quieter alternative to an airport hotel the night before a cruise. A common plan: MIA to your Coral Gables hotel on arrival day, then Coral Gables to PortMiami on sailing morning. Book both on one reservation.

Most cruise lines give each guest a check-in (arrival) time during online check-in, and ask everyone to be aboard 60–90 minutes before sailing. These pickup times allow for a cruise-morning drive plus a 20-minute buffer for luggage drop and terminal queues.
