From $660 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Clarcona, booked door to door.
Each figure below is the flat, per-vehicle price for the trip — the whole group rides for one number, with no per-head math and no surge on a busy morning.
After a sailing ends, the last thing anyone wants is a scramble for a ride. Your driver is posted curb-side as you step out of the PortMiami cruise terminal, luggage cart and all, and walks the group straight to the reserved vehicle. Meet-and-greet is part of the price; if a printed name sign makes the handoff easier in a crowd, ask for one when booking and it is added for $20. Disembarkation mornings can bunch up — when several ships empty at once, the streets right around the terminal move slowly before the highway opens, so that first stretch is the patient part. The driver follows your ship’s real arrival rather than the printed schedule and times the pickup to it, then holds thirty minutes of courtesy waiting from that slot in case customs runs long.
This is not a quick hop across town. Clarcona sits up in Central Florida, so the trip is a multi-hour, mostly-highway drive north out of Miami toward the greater Orlando region. Once the vehicle clears the port and reaches open road, the pace settles and holds for the rest of the way. Room is set aside for a week of cruise bags, so nothing has to be left behind or wedged onto a lap. On a haul this long a single short comfort stop — a restroom, a coffee, a quick bite — can be arranged if you mention it at booking; slotted in ahead of time, it fits the day without redrawing the route. The ride ends at your Clarcona address, not at a lot where another leg begins.
Clarcona is a small unincorporated community in Orange County, set northwest of Orlando near Apopka. Its character is semi-rural and residential — citrus-grove heritage, open land, and quiet lanes rather than towers or nightlife. Most travelers coming this way are headed to a house, a rental, or family in the area, and the private ride puts them at that exact door with the luggage. Because the wider Orlando region wraps around it, the community works as a calm base close to Central Florida’s parks and attractions without the crowds pressing on the doorstep. One local quirk is worth flagging: lots on this side of the county run deep, fences sit close to the road, and a house can be invisible from it. Drop a map pin for the entrance you want used and note what marks it — a cattle gate, a pair of oaks, a number on a post — and say whether the drive is paved, since that decides how far up a low vehicle should go.
A booking is held with a 50% deposit, and the remaining half goes straight to the driver on the day of the trip — nothing extra is collected at the curb beyond that agreed balance. Pricing is one-way by design: the fare above buys the single run from the port to Clarcona. Need the return to the ship as well? A round trip is simply two one-ways booked together as a single reservation, so the same per-vehicle figure applies to each leg with no per-person surcharge either direction. Once a booking is confirmed the number is fixed, so the amount does not drift between reservation and drop-off.
The flat fare already carries the parts of a long transfer that tend to sprout surprises. Tolls and fuel are inside the number, so there is nothing to settle on the road; the private vehicle, the driver, meet-and-greet at the terminal, and loading and unloading of the cruise luggage are all part of it. A few items sit outside as separate lines, applied only when they are actually used: a printed name sign at the terminal is $20, a child seat is $15, and an added errand or wait runs $45 per thirty minutes. Food, drinks, and an optional gratuity stay yours to decide. Note kids’ ages or any planned stop when you reserve, and the right setup is ready before the driver rolls.
Pickups scheduled inside the 7 AM to 9 PM window carry no surcharge. A slot outside those hours adds a small night figure tied to the vehicle: for the black SUV it is $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 once the route runs beyond that boundary — and a trip all the way up to Clarcona clearly sits in the beyond-the-metro tier. If a ship’s schedule pushes your pickup to the edges of the day, flag it at booking so the figure is set in writing before you travel.
Reserve at least a day ahead so the vehicle and driver can be confirmed for your sail date. Same-day and short-notice requests are still looked at by hand, though availability tightens the later they land. If a pickup time needs to move, send the change over WhatsApp with as much notice as you can give.
The rate is per vehicle, not per head, so the listed number holds whether two travelers climb in or a dozen. Larger groups simply split one flat figure further. Match the headcount and the cruise-bag count to the SUV or the right van, and everyone rides together in a single reserved vehicle to Clarcona.
A late dock is not a problem, because the driver tracks the ship’s actual arrival rather than the printed time and re-times the pickup to match at no added cost. The reserved vehicle keeps thirty minutes of courtesy waiting from the agreed slot. If plans shift once you are ashore, a quick WhatsApp message keeps everything on track.
A party of up to five with cruise bags fits the black SUV, six to nine take the smaller van, and ten to fourteen the larger one, each with space held for luggage. Not sure which size leaves room for everyone’s bags? Send the headcount and a rough bag count over WhatsApp and the right vehicle is confirmed before the Clarcona run.
Lock in the private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Clarcona over WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748. Share your ship name, pickup date, group size, and the drop-off address, and the vehicle, driver, and flat fare are confirmed back to you. Book at least a day ahead for the smoothest cruise-morning pickup.
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.
We got off the ship with the little ones worn out after the cruise, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Clarcona so easy. It was only our group in the car — no one else’s stops — which was exactly what we wanted. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out when we walked out.
Éramos ocho bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a Clarcona fue mucho más simple que dividirnos en autos. Reservar fue fácil, recibimos todo por escrito, y todo salió tal cual.
Fuimos de crucero con un grupo grande y queríamos al grupo entero en un solo viaje privado a Clarcona tras desembarcar. La tarifa estaba acordada de antemano, sin subir porque el puerto estaba lleno.
Con los pequeños, reservar un auto privado de la puerto a Clarcona significó nada que resolver la mañana del desembarque. El auto estaba fresco y cómodo, un alivio con el calor de Miami. La tarifa estaba fija desde la reserva, sin nada extra en la acera.
So glad we pre-booked — clean car, great driver, zero stress at the terminal. The ride to Clarcona was smooth and steady, climate-controlled, and we could just relax after the cruise.
