Thread: How do I save money parking at Port of Miami?

Depending on what state your handicapped placard is from, you do not need to bring "proof of disability". In Florida, the placard has the Driver's License # of the disable person on it. Therefore, as long as the # matches their DL, they are all set.

My husband and I take advantage of the free parking for HC in Miami all of the time. It is a privilege that can be revoked at any moment, so don't go down counting on it, but enjoy the savings, if it is available.

For the record, we have sailed out of every port in Florida, and Miami is the only port that overs that benefit.

Hey there! Welcome to our friendly cruise community!

Are you asking about handicap parking or parking in general?

Here is the info from the port web site and the link for more information Miami-Dade County - Port of Miami. directions-parking


There is no Valet Parking at the POM.

Due to security precautions Car/Shuttle rental company facilities are not located on the Port of Miami premises.

Long term parking is $20.00 per day for cruise passengers parking for 24-hours/overnight or longer per cruise length.

Short term parking is $7.00 if you are coming to see someone off but, not intended for overnight parking.

All Cruises in the current itineraries would fall under Long Term Parking.

Oversized vehicles such as motor homes, truck with trailers, or buses that are over 20’ in length will be charged an additional $20.00 per day and can only park in Lot # 2.

The Port of Miami currently has 3 Parking Garages available for Cruise passengers. The total capacity now available is 5,871, with 56 dedicated to the handicapped and 7 to passengers with young infants. The top floor is open to air at each Garage. There is also one outside Parking Lot available as well.
