Where your chauffeur meets you at MIA
Miami International Airport restricts pickups to designated, permitted zones — which is exactly why our chauffeurs hold terminal permits rather than circling the arrivals loop. Here is how it works:
- We track your inbound flight and time the pickup to your actual landing, not your scheduled one.
- You receive your chauffeur's name, vehicle and mobile number before pickup.
- Standard service meets you at the marked pickup zone just outside the terminal exit doors on the arrivals level.
- With Meet & Greet ($40, sedan and SUV), your chauffeur waits inside with a name sign and helps with luggage from baggage claim.
Cruise-day timing from MIA
PortMiami boarding typically opens between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, and most lines require you aboard 60–90 minutes before departure. Traffic on Dodge Island peaks between 10 AM and 1 PM on embarkation days, and we build that buffer into every pickup.
- Flying in on sailing day: land by 11:00 AM at the latest. Cruise lines do not wait, and a single delayed connection is the most common reason passengers miss a ship.
- Flying in the day before: the safest plan. Book MIA to your hotel on arrival day, then hotel to PortMiami on sailing morning — one round-trip reservation covers both.
- Debarkation morning: ships clear between 7:00 and 10:00 AM. Your vehicle waits at the terminal; see our PortMiami to MIA page.
