From $595 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Chuluota, your group only.
One flat figure covers the whole vehicle rather than each seat, so a couple and a full van pay by the car, not by the head. The number is agreed at booking and holds no matter the traffic or the hour you roll off the ship.
The pickup begins curbside at your assigned cruise terminal, right where passengers spill out after clearing the gangway and baggage hall. Meet and greet is part of the ride, so the driver is on foot to take the heavy cruise bags and steer the group to the car. Ask for a name sign at booking and it will be held at the exit; that small extra runs $20 and turns a crowded curb into an easy hand-off.
On the final night aboard, most cruise lines slip a colored or numbered luggage tag into the cabin, and that tag decides which wave a group walks off in. Travelers who carry every bag themselves and self-disembark tend to leave first, while tagged parties follow in staged groups. Pass along that tag colour or number as soon as the letter arrives, so the pickup is built around your actual wave instead of the ship’s docking time. Booked two or three cabins? They can land in separate waves, so give the latest call and let the earlier passengers wait inside the hall — the car makes a single departure.
Chuluota is a quiet, semi-rural pocket of eastern Seminole County, where neighborhood streets give way to horse pasture, pine flatwoods, and the slow bends of the Econlockhatchee River. This is old-Florida countryside, not a resort strip, and it pulls families after trails, wildlife, and elbow room. Nearby preserves and river paddling are the main draw, and the larger towns of the Orlando area are a short drive off when shops and dining are on the plan. For a fuller picture, the county keeps an overview of the Chuluota Wilderness Area, and this local guide to Chuluota sketches the wider community. For cruise travelers it works as a calm base a short hop from central Florida’s attractions, with the crowds left behind.
This is a long-distance transfer, since Chuluota lies far up-state, out toward the eastern rim of the Orlando area — count on a multi-hour highway haul, not a quick local hop. The route climbs north out of the PortMiami terminals and picks up Florida’s Turnpike for most of the journey before turning onto the smaller roads that reach your door. Mid-morning and early-afternoon departures move the smoothest; weekday rush hours and busy disembarkation mornings, when several ships empty at once, can stretch the same drive, so leave a cushion before any onward plans. Because the ride is private and direct, traffic is the sole thing that can move the clock, and a brief rest stop can be set up in advance on the long haul north.
Pricing is one-way and set per vehicle, so the figure you see is the figure for the whole group in that direction. Half the fare is taken as a deposit to confirm the reservation and hold the car; the rest goes to the driver on ride day. Round trips apply the one-way fare in each direction, reserved together so one driver and pickup time cover the outbound leg and the return to the port.
Meet and greet at the terminal is included, and the flat fare already carries the private vehicle and driver for the full run to the door. A few optional items sit on top: a held name sign at the exit is $20, a child seat is $15 per seat on this port route, and any added stop along the way runs $45 for each half hour it adds. Raise any of these at booking and the amount is confirmed on the spot, so nothing turns up as a surprise at the curb.
Daytime pickups fall between 7 AM and 9 PM with no added charge. A ride that starts outside that window carries a modest night fee on the black SUV: $20 when the trip stays inside Miami-Dade or Broward, and $50 once it reaches beyond those two counties. Since this route travels well past Broward, plan on the $50 figure if a disembarkation or a return pickup lands after hours, and the exact amount is set when the time is booked.
This ride is fully private, start to finish. The SUV or van carries only your party, with no strangers riding along and no side pickups for other travelers. From the terminal curb to your address up north, the vehicle belongs to your group for the entire one-way run.
A late dock costs nothing extra. The ship’s true docking and disembarkation time is tracked, so the pickup slides to match whenever your group clears the gangway. There is no re-booking and no penalty — the driver simply meets you when you walk out with the bags.
Plan on one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and the SUV and vans are chosen with cruise luggage in mind. Carrying extra or oversized pieces? Send a message before the trip and the space is confirmed, or the reservation is bumped to a bigger van so everything fits in one vehicle.
The figure is charged by the vehicle, never by the head. Two passengers or a full van of fourteen ride for the single rate listed above. Round trips run at the one-way rate in each direction, reserved together in a single booking.
Yes — this ride works in both directions between Port of Miami and Chuluota. On embarkation day the pickup is at your address and the drop is straight to the assigned terminal in time for boarding. Book both legs together so the driver and the pickup times are locked at each end.
Lock in the Chuluota transfer before your sailing so the vehicle and driver are held for your dates. Send the ship name, terminal, passenger count, bag count, and travel date over WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748, and the vehicle, driver, and pickup plan are confirmed. Booking at least twenty-four hours ahead secures availability; last-minute requests are still reviewed by hand.
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.
Auto limpio, sin esperas, y un conductor que sabía exactamente a dónde ir. Lo reservaría de nuevo. Reservar fue simple, recibimos una confirmación sólida, y todo calzó perfecto.
Privativo, na hora, e não precisamos me preocupar com nada ao descer do navio. Na noite anterior recebemos uma texto com o nome do motorista e a placa, então não havia nada para resolver ao sair.
Getting a big group off the ship and out to Chuluota is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so we didn’t have to lift a thing.
We cruised as a group and wanted everyone and the luggage in one private ride to Chuluota after disembarking. The ride to Chuluota was easy the whole way, cool and comfortable, and we could just relax after the cruise.
We got off the ship with the kids ready to be home, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Chuluota painless.
