From $355 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Berkshire Lakes in Naples, booked door to door.
This rate covers the entire vehicle and is set the moment you reserve, so choose the size that matches your headcount and everyone travels on a single flat fare.
After you clear the terminal at Port of Miami, your driver is already waiting curbside at the exit and steps in to handle the cruise luggage. Give the ship name and arrival date when you book, and the driver follows the docking time so the meeting lines up with the moment you actually walk out — even on a morning when several ships empty at once. Request a name sign when you reserve and the driver has it raised at the curb, so there is no hunting for a ride after a long sailing before the drive west begins.
Berkshire Lakes sits on the far side of the state from the cruise terminal, so this counts as a full cross-Florida run rather than a short local drop. The drive leaves Miami’s Atlantic coast and heads west toward the Gulf along I-75, the stretch drivers call Alligator Alley, before reaching your address near Naples. Expect a longer ride than a downtown transfer — it moves best when the highway is light and slows a little when disembarkation traffic stacks up near the port. Since the fare is locked at booking, a crowded road never changes the number: no meter running, no surge pricing, so a slow stretch costs the same as a clear one. Your driver reads the conditions that morning and picks the sensible line west.
Berkshire Lakes is a planned neighborhood in the Naples area, over on the Gulf side of the state. Its streets wind around a handful of small lakes, and walking trails plus grown-in landscaping give it a settled, suburban feel. Full-time homeowners live here alongside winter visitors who come down to escape the cold up north, with the golf courses, restaurants, and shopping that draw people to Naples all a short drive away. For neighborhood specifics, the Berkshire Lakes Master Association keeps community details, and the current housing picture shows in these Berkshire Lakes home listings.
The vehicle stays reserved for your group alone, so no stranger shares the car and there is no fixed shuttle time to catch after a cruise. The driver speaks English together with Spanish or Portuguese, which eases the first exchange at an unfamiliar port. Booking happens over WhatsApp as a real back-and-forth rather than a ticket queue — send the ship name, party size, and drop-off address, and a single message arranges the trip. The flat rate you agree to is what you pay at the door, on a private, one-way run with the price settled up front.
Half the fare is due as a deposit when you reserve, and the other half goes to the driver on the day of the trip. Every fare is quoted per vehicle for the full group, not per head, and each leg is priced one way — a round trip is just the one-way rate booked in both directions, with the same vehicle class set for the return. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is part of the ride at no extra cost. If you want the driver to hold a printed name sign at the curb, add $20.
Daytime pickups fall inside a 7 AM to 9 PM window with nothing added. Outside those hours, a night pickup in the black SUV adds $20 when the trip stays within Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 once it runs beyond those counties. A child seat is $15 on a Port of Miami pickup — pass the driver the number of seats and the kids’ ages over WhatsApp so the vehicle is ready before you reach the curb. Need an unplanned stop along the way? Extra time runs $45 per 30 minutes.
Reserving ahead of your sail date locks the vehicle size and the pickup time, which matters most on a busy disembarkation morning at Port of Miami. Send the ship name and arrival date over WhatsApp, and the pickup is timed to your walk-off. A last-minute request can still be looked at, though the exact vehicle depends on what is open that day.
The black SUV seats up to five passengers with cruise luggage, which suits most couples and small families making the run. A group of six to nine steps up to the first van, and ten to fourteen take the larger one. Carrying oversized or extra bags? Flag it on WhatsApp when you book so the right vehicle is set aside.
Yes — the price is per vehicle, not per head, so a solo traveler and a full car of five pay the same SUV rate. You only move to a higher tier when the headcount needs a larger van. The fare shown is the total for the whole group.
The pickup shifts to match. Your driver tracks the ship’s arrival, so a late dock simply moves the meeting time — no need to re-book or pay again. The flat fare and the reserved vehicle hold whatever time you finally step off.
Small pets travel fine with advance notice on WhatsApp, riding in a pet carrier. Mention it at booking so the driver expects your companion and the right vehicle is ready at Port of Miami. A quick heads-up keeps the curbside pickup moving and space set aside for the ride toward Naples.
To set up a private ride to or from Port of Miami and Berkshire Lakes, message WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Send the ship name, arrival date, party size, and Berkshire Lakes drop-off address, and the vehicle and pickup time are confirmed for your sail date.
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.
For an easy disembarkation, my wife and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us to Berkshire Lakes.
Our family of four came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded all the cruise bags for the ride to Berkshire Lakes. The fare was fixed when we booked, no surge because the port was slammed.
Disembarking alone, I had a driver waiting at the terminal to head to Berkshire Lakes — no scramble at the port. The ride to Berkshire Lakes was easy the whole way, cool and comfortable, and I could just unwind.
There were seven of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Berkshire Lakes was far simpler than splitting into cars. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags.
Our family of four came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver had room for every suitcase for the ride to Berkshire Lakes. Booking was quick, we got everything in writing, and everything went exactly as planned. The ride to Berkshire Lakes was quiet and relaxed, cool and comfortable, and we could just relax after the cruise.
