PortMiami Parking Options
Your cruise trip out of Miami is around the corner and you’re finishing up planning all the details for your dream trip, including where to leave your car while you’re relaxing out on the sea. Luckily for visitors and locals, there are several parking options available to keep things simple.
PortMiami offers convenient long-term and short-term parking at various multi-level garages and open-air lots. Disabled permit parking spaces are available in each garage and Lot #2 has designated spaces for oversized and recreational vehicles that are over 20 feet in length. A Cell Phone lot is also available free of charge. Cost may vary at certain lots but all facilities are patrolled by security.
Park at the Port
Cruise passengers can park near their cruise terminals. On cruise days only, all garages and Lot #2 are open and manned by a parking attendant from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There is no reserved parking. Check PortMiami’s website for clearance heights and more information.
Accessibility and Disabled Parking: Two hours of complimentary parking will be provided to vehicles displaying a disabled parking permit or license tag. After two hours, normal parking rates apply. Vehicles with specialized equipment such as ramps, lifts, or foot or hand controls for use by a person who has a disability, or any vehicle displaying a State of Florida license plate for disabled veterans or displaying the Florida Toll Exemption permit, are exempt from parking charges.
Royal Caribbean Lot A: Lot A is reserved for the exclusive use of Royal Caribbean cruise guests. It is conveniently adjacent to Royal Caribbean’s terminal and the rate is $25 per day for a regular-sized vehicle.
