MIA to PortMiami transportation built around your cruise
PortMiami is about 9 miles from Miami International Airport, according to the airport’s official ground-transportation guide. The route is geographically close, but South Florida traffic, baggage collection, airline check-in, and cruise-terminal activity can change the time you need. Pre-booking puts your airport, cruise line, ship, pickup date, departure time, and party size in one reservation.
MIAMI PORT SHUTTLES INC serves this airport-to-cruise-port corridor in both directions. We are an independent transportation provider and are not affiliated with PortMiami, MIA, or any cruise line.

Pickup guidance for MIA and PortMiami
For an MIA arrival, collect every checked bag before proceeding to the ground-transportation area identified in your confirmation. Keep the phone entered with your reservation available so the pickup can be coordinated. For a PortMiami pickup after your cruise, disembark, collect luggage, clear the required arrival process, and follow the terminal-specific instructions in your order.
Cruise terminals and airport operating conditions can change. Check your airline, cruise line, and the official MIA ground-transportation information before travel, and rely on the final pickup instructions attached to your reservation.
Car seats and booster seats for MIA–PortMiami transfers
Traveling from Miami Airport to PortMiami with a baby or child requires planning before pickup. Child or booster seats are the passenger’s responsibility unless a different arrangement is confirmed in writing. You may bring your own age- and size-appropriate restraint. Do not assume that a car seat or booster is included with a shared shuttle or private transfer.
If you want to request a restraint, add the number of children, each child’s age and approximate height and weight, and the type of seat requested in the special-items field. Contact us before travel and wait for written confirmation. A request by itself does not guarantee availability, a particular model, or compatibility with every vehicle assigned to the route.
- Infant or rear-facing seat: bring the restraint suitable for the child unless another arrangement is confirmed in writing.
- Forward-facing child seat: include the child’s age and approximate size in the reservation notes.
- Booster seat: identify the requested type and confirm the arrangement before pickup.
- Installation and fit: the parent or guardian remains responsible for selecting, installing, and checking the restraint used by the child.
- Passenger count: include every adult and child when entering the party size so the appropriate vehicle capacity can be reviewed.
Florida’s hired-vehicle rules place responsibility for child-restraint compliance on the parent, guardian, or person responsible for the child. Review Florida Statute 316.613 and use the restraint that is appropriate for your child. This information is general travel guidance, not legal or child-passenger-safety advice.
Plan a smoother Miami cruise transfer

- Enter the flight number so the transportation record contains the correct airline arrival or departure.
- Select the exact cruise line and ship whenever available; terminal assignments may change.
- Allow time for baggage claim, traffic, cruise embarkation, security, and airline check-in.
- Add a return leg at the end of the form if you need PortMiami-to-MIA transportation after the cruise.
