From $570 per vehicle, a private one-way ride between the Port of Miami cruise terminals and Cocoa West on Florida’s Space Coast.
The rate is set per vehicle and fixed the moment you reserve, so pick the size that matches your group and the whole party rides for one figure.
As you step off the ship and clear the PortMiami cruise terminal, your driver is waiting curbside rather than in a distant parking deck. A week’s worth of cruise luggage goes straight into the vehicle, and the whole group leaves together in one trip. Ask for a name sign when you book and the driver holds one at the exit for a $20 add-on, which helps a large family spot the ride quickly. The day before you travel, a text brings the driver’s name and vehicle so nobody is guessing at the curb. Courtesy waiting covers the first thirty minutes at the terminal while customs and baggage claim run their course.
From the port the drive climbs north on I-95 toward the Space Coast and ends at your Cocoa West address, whether that is a home, a vacation rental, or a business. The vehicle stays private for the full run, with no shared seats and no side trips to gather other travelers. There is ample room for a family’s cruise bags, so the whole load travels in one vehicle. Exact timing depends on the day rather than a fixed schedule, since disembarkation mornings and weekday rush hours put more cars on the interstate. Door-to-door service works the same in reverse for anyone sailing out: the driver collects your party in the area and delivers it to the ship. Book a single direction, or arrange both legs together under one reservation.
Cocoa West is the calmer, mostly residential and commercial stretch on the western side of Cocoa, a city on Florida’s Space Coast beside the Indian River. Basing yourself here keeps daily conveniences close while the better-known sights stay a short local drive away. The wider Cocoa area holds riverfront restaurants, the galleries and small shops of the old riverside village, and the beaches out on the barrier island. The coast draws its name from the space-launch business rooted here, so science attractions and wide-open sky are part of the character. Visiting family, opening a beach week, or waiting on a later sailing, Cocoa West works as a low-key base. Grocery stops, gas, and everyday errands sit close by, which suits travelers settling in for several nights. For city details, see the City of Cocoa’s official website.
When a rocket sits on the schedule, visitors fill this county well ahead of the window and the local roads carry heavier traffic for hours, and a scrubbed attempt can slide to a backup date. Check the launch calendar against your travel day and share what you find when you book, so the last stretch into town is planned with that crowd in mind.
Booking is confirmed with a fifty-percent deposit, and the remaining half goes straight to your driver on travel day. Every fare on this page is quoted one-way, so a round trip is simply two one-way legs booked together under a single reference. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is part of the ride, not a charge added later. Because the price is locked the moment you reserve, heavy demand or slow roads never change the figure you agreed to. Sort the payment method when you book and travel day stays about the trip, not the wallet.
A few extras are handled up front so nothing is a surprise at the curb. A name-sign greeting at the terminal runs $20, and a child seat is $15 each — say how many you need when you reserve. Daytime pickups fall between 7 AM and 9 PM; an SUV picked up outside that window carries a $20 night fee inside Miami-Dade and Broward, or $50 once the pickup sits beyond those counties. If the trip needs an added stop along the way, extra waiting is billed at $45 for each half hour. Settle any of these on WhatsApp when you book and the day itself stays simple.
Every booking is private from start to finish. The SUV or van carries only your party, with no pooling and no extra riders collected along the road. From the PortMiami curb to your Cocoa West door, the vehicle belongs to your group alone.
Yes — a same-morning pickup as you leave the ship is the usual case. Set the pickup for shortly after your scheduled debark and the driver is already in position at the terminal. Even when several ships empty at once, your reserved vehicle holds and the fare does not move.
A late arrival is not a problem, since the driver follows the ship’s real docking time and shifts the pickup to match. You keep the same vehicle and the same price with no rebooking. The courtesy waiting window absorbs the ordinary delays of customs and baggage.
Reserve at least 24 hours before your pickup so the vehicle and time are locked to your sailing. Send your ship, date, passenger count, and Cocoa West address over WhatsApp and the fare is confirmed before travel day. Last-minute requests are still reviewed, though availability cannot be promised that close in.
Message on WhatsApp at https://wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 to lock your private ride between the Port of Miami and Cocoa West. Share your ship name, travel date, passenger count, luggage, and pickup direction, and you get the vehicle, the flat one-way fare, and the driver’s details ahead of time.
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 a stress-free disembarkation, my wife and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us to Cocoa West. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no guessing at the curb when we walked out. It was only us in the car — no side pickups — which was a relief after a week aboard.
So glad we pre-booked — clean car, great driver, no scramble at the port. Booking was quick, we got clear pickup details, and everything lined up perfectly.
The group of us came off the ship at once and it was a relief to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to Cocoa West — everyone in one vehicle. For a no-hassle way to get from the port to Cocoa West, it was money well spent. 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.
We got off the ship with the kids and a mountain of luggage, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Cocoa West a breeze.
Iba de crucero por mi cuenta y coordiné un auto privado para que me esperara en la acera de la terminal al bajar del barco y llevarme directo a Cocoa West. Para llegar del puerto a Cocoa West sin estrés, valió mucho la pena.
