From $100 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to the Port of Miami, door to door in a black SUV or van.
Each rate below is the whole vehicle, one way, from the airport curb to your cruise terminal — pick the class that matches your headcount and how much luggage rides along.
Collection happens at the arrivals curb: step out of your terminal with the bags and the black SUV or van is already positioned at the kerb. The meet-and-greet is part of the booking, so the driver greets your party in person rather than leaving you to spot the car alone. Would you rather have a printed name sign held at the exit? Add that for $20 and the driver stands with it as you clear the building. Send your flight number when you reserve and the pickup is keyed to your exact terminal, not a general holding lane.
MIA and the Port of Miami sit 9.4 miles apart — 15.1 kilometers — which the driver covers in about 25 to 28 minutes. Clear roads land you nearer 25; a rush-hour build pushes it toward 28. Nearly the whole run stays on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), heading east until the signed port entrance drops you at the terminals, so the timing barely shifts from one day to the next. The stretch that actually varies is behind you at the airport, where customs and baggage claim move at their own pace — leave a comfortable gap between your flight’s arrival and your ship’s boarding cutoff, and let this short leg use only part of it.
The Port of Miami is the city’s cruise gateway, an island of numbered terminals sitting just off downtown and ranked among the busiest cruise home ports anywhere. Each cruise line boards its ships at its own terminal, with its own porters and check-in, so reaching the port by private car puts your party in the correct lane from the start rather than sending you to hunt for it. On a sailing day, several ships’ worth of passengers move through with surprising order. Share your ship’s name when you book and the drop-off is aimed at your terminal door, where porters take the luggage a few steps from the vehicle.
If your ship boards later in the day, most of what there is to do lines the downtown bayfront a short hop from the Port of Miami: the open-air shops and restaurants of Bayside Marketplace, waterfront parks that frame the skyline, the Pérez Art Museum, and the Frost science museum beside it. For the night before an early sailing, downtown Miami and Brickell make the most sensible base — both sit close to the port and are ringed with places to eat. South Beach trades a little of that proximity for the sand, and plenty of travelers spend their final pre-cruise evening there instead.
Nothing changes on your end. Every reservation carries flight tracking, so the driver follows your inbound aircraft and resets the pickup to whenever the wheels touch down — a delay neither strands you at the curb nor cancels the ride. A built-in waiting window then covers the slow part: immigration lines, a carousel that lags, a gate-checked stroller that needs a minute. The car is not released just because the arrivals hall backed up, and no clock penalizes you while you stand at the belt.
Pricing is one-way and per vehicle, so a full party settles the same figure a solo traveler would. A 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% goes to the driver on travel day. Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link handles the deposit — no card number is ever required to hold the reservation. Four details lock the arrangement: your travel date, flight number, passenger count, and a rough bag count, sent by WhatsApp, with the confirmation coming straight back.
Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are already inside the fare, never tacked on at the curb. Each seat covers one checked bag and one carry-on, which suits an ordinary cruise packing list; bringing more, or something oversized, is worth a WhatsApp note ahead of the trip so the space is confirmed or a larger van is arranged. A child seat runs $20 each. An added stop along the way is $45 per 30 minutes, set up in advance. Traveling with a small pet is fine with notice — bring a carrier and your companion rides in the same private vehicle you do.
Listed fares apply to pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Outside that daytime window — a flight landing near midnight, say, or a run before sunrise — the SUV carries a $20 night fee for trips staying inside Miami-Dade or Broward, which this airport-to-port hop does, rising to $50 only on longer runs beyond those counties. You know the figure before departure, and nothing appears mid-journey.
Per vehicle, always. Every figure near the top buys the SUV or the van outright, so five people in the SUV pay exactly what one person would. Divide the total across your group and the per-head cost of a private door-to-door ride to the Port of Miami comes out modest.
Fully private. The vehicle carries only your party — no strangers, no detour to collect another group, no standing around for someone outside your booking. From the MIA curb to your cruise terminal, the SUV or van belongs to you alone for the whole run.
Yes. Drop-offs run to other ports, airports, hotels, and private addresses across South Florida — Fort Lauderdale, a hotel in whichever Miami neighborhood you prefer, or a home address. Name the destination while booking and the same private, door-to-door setup is arranged with a vehicle sized to your group.
Yes — the service works the same in reverse. Book a disembarkation pickup and the driver meets you at your ship’s terminal before delivering you to your departure gate at MIA. Reserving both legs as one round trip, at double the one-way fare, is the tidiest way to bracket a whole cruise itinerary.
Ready to lock your ride to the ship? Message WhatsApp +1 (786) 682-8748 or call 786-682-8748 with your travel date, flight number, party size, and bag count, and the private vehicle plus pickup plan comes back confirmed.
Reserving a few days ahead is ideal, and in peak season (holidays, spring break, big cruise weekends) a week or more keeps your first-choice vehicle available. Requests inside 24 hours are welcome but depend on availability, and those bookings are non-refundable once confirmed.
We run on reservations rather than on-demand pickups. A same-day request may still work if a driver is free: message us on WhatsApp with the pickup time and we will confirm quickly. Keep in mind that a ride booked within 24 hours of pickup cannot be refunded.
No. A 50% deposit holds the vehicle when you book online, and the other half goes to your driver on the day of the ride, in cash or by card. If you prefer to settle everything at once, choose Pay in full at checkout.
Yes. After the deposit, the remaining half is paid directly to your driver when the ride is done, cash or card, whichever you prefer. There is nothing else to pay unless you added an extra service.
Cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the pickup. Inside that 24-hour window the ride is non-refundable, and no-shows are treated the same way. Booking details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can still be updated until 12 hours before pickup.
The pickup time and other details can be adjusted until 12 hours before the ride, subject to driver availability; write to us as soon as your plans change. The travel date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Payments run through Stripe over an encrypted checkout; we never see your card number. Card payments carry a 3% processing fee that is shown before you pay. Zelle is also accepted for the deposit with no fee: ask us on WhatsApp.
Not at all. Travelers reserve from all over the world, international cards are accepted at checkout, and we answer on WhatsApp and email in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Yes. Give us the flight number when you book and your driver tracks it in real time, so the pickup follows the actual landing rather than the scheduled one, at no extra cost.
Message us the moment you know. We reschedule around the new arrival whenever a driver is available; because that counts as a change to the booking, the cancellation terms above still apply if the ride cannot be rebooked.
Your driver meets you at the MIA arrivals level at the curb, and that meet-and-greet is included in the fare. If you would rather be greeted inside the terminal with a name sign, add the name-sign welcome for $20 when you book.
You receive the meeting instructions in advance, and the driver contacts you the day before the ride to confirm every detail. On landing, head to the agreed curb; connect to the airport Wi-Fi and message us on WhatsApp if anything is unclear.
The day before the ride we send the driver’s name and phone number, and the vehicle details you need to spot the car. Vehicle photos on the site show the category booked; the exact model can vary.
Call or WhatsApp us at +1 (786) 682-8748 and we connect you right away. The pickup is always coordinated at the confirmed spot, and the courtesy waiting time keeps running from your landing or your scheduled pickup.
At the airport we wait up to 60 minutes after landing on domestic flights and up to 2 hours on international arrivals; at hotels, homes and the cruise port the courtesy wait is 15 minutes. Beyond that, waiting is billed like an extra stop, $45 per 30 minutes.
The distance and the usual driving time for this exact route are listed on this page. Real timing depends on traffic and the hour, which is why the driver plans the pickup around your actual landing or ship arrival rather than a fixed clock time.
Yes. Your driver loads and unloads every bag at the curb. Drivers do not go inside the hotel or terminal to collect luggage, so have it with you at the meeting point.
Each passenger can bring one large suitcase plus one carry-on. The black SUV carries up to 5 passengers as long as passengers plus large suitcases total 10 or fewer; larger groups or extra bags move to a van. Surfboards, bikes or many extra cases need a custom setup, so tell us before booking.
Yes. Add them when you book: a child seat for babies and toddlers up to about 3 years, or a booster for ages 3 to 5. Each seat is $20 and is fitted before the driver leaves for the pickup.
Planned stops are fine when you add them at booking, priced at $45 per 30 minutes with a 30-minute minimum, then $1.50 per extra minute. Unplanned detours on the day are not part of the fare.
Never. Every transfer is private: the vehicle carries only your group, door to door, with no other pickups and no waiting for strangers.
A black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a van for 6 to 9 and a larger van for 10 to 14. The fare table on this page shows the price for each. For groups above 14 we arrange several vehicles or a minibus on a custom quote.
No. We pick up and drop off at Miami International Airport, PortMiami and the other cruise terminals, hotels, private homes, offices and event venues across South Florida and beyond.
Yes. Wedding parties, corporate groups and private events get a tailored quote with the right mix of vehicles; message us with the date, head count and schedule.
Between 9 PM and 7 AM the black SUV adds a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 farther out. The fee is shown in the quote before you book, and daytime rides carry no surcharge.
The fare shown is for the exact route named on this page. For a different pickup or drop-off address, use the ride search on this site: it prices the real road distance instantly and lets you book on the spot.
The fare includes the driver, fuel and tolls, with no hidden fees. Only optional items add to it: the 3% card fee, a name-sign welcome, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Los dos aterrizamos en MIA de vacaciones y teníamos un conductor esperando apenas salimos de la aduana. Sin fila de taxis, sin tarifas dinámicas — salimos y el auto ya estaba ahí. El conductor se ocupó del equipaje para que no tuviéramos que cargar nada tras el vuelo.
Great service — so much better than a taxi.
My wife and I booked a private transfer from Miami Airport to Port of Miami so we wouldn’t have to sort out a taxi after our flight. No taxi line, no standing around waiting on an app — we just walked out and the car was there.
Viaje cómodo, conductor amable, una tarifa fija. Sin quejas. Sin fila de taxis, sin esperar una app — salimos y el auto ya estaba listo.
My husband and I wanted to skip the airport taxi chaos, so we pre-booked a private ride to Port of Miami. We were picked up right on time, no delays. The driver dropped us right at the door of Port of Miami.
