From $180 per vehicle — private, one-way transport from Port of Miami to Goulds by black SUV or van.
Each figure below is the full price for the vehicle, not a per-seat charge, and it holds from the moment the booking is set — fuel and tolls already sit inside it.
On the morning the cruise ends, your driver is already following the vessel’s arrival and disembarkation, so the car is in place by the time you clear the gangway. Pickup happens at the curb outside your PortMiami cruise terminal, where the driver lifts the heavy bags and steers the group to the vehicle. Meet-and-greet is part of the ride at no charge; a printed name sign held at the exit can be added for $20 when you ask for it over WhatsApp. Mornings when several ships empty at once crawl through the terminal roads, and the driver builds that delay into the pickup timing.
Goulds sits deep in the south of Miami-Dade, and the trip there leaves the port and drops down US-1, the South Dixie Highway, toward the far edge of the county. How long it takes depends on the morning: a light off-peak departure clears downtown quickly, while a heavy disembarkation with several ships unloading slows the first leg out of the port, and afternoon congestion on the southern stretch of US-1 can add more minutes still. None of that reaches the price. Because the fare is flat and fixed at booking, a slower road never changes the number, and the one-way rate you agreed to is the one you pay.
Goulds is a down-to-earth residential and farming community in the south of Miami-Dade, with a working, suburban character rather than a beach-resort one. It falls inside the broader Redland growing region, that run of plant nurseries, roadside produce stands, and family kitchens feeding much of the area’s trade in tropical fruit and ornamental plants. Neighborhood churches and quiet streets set the pace. Whether the stop there is a relative’s house, a business address, or a pause on a longer Florida trip, the driver takes the group to the exact street you name, door to door.
The vehicle is held for one group alone, so nobody else climbs in and there are no side stops to collect other travelers. A bilingual driver, at ease in English and either Spanish or Portuguese, handles the hand-off while you manage passports, kids, and a week of bags. There is real room for cruise luggage in both the SUV and the vans, and the entire group fits in one vehicle instead of splitting across cars. This is a private, one-way ride shaped around a turnaround morning, and the fare holds whatever the tide or the customs hall does.
Booking is confirmed with a 50% deposit, paid by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent through WhatsApp. The other half goes straight to the driver on the day of the ride. Every figure is charged per vehicle, so a pair riding the SUV and a fourteen-strong group in the big van pay the same posted rate. A round trip doubles the one-way figure, and booking both legs together keeps one driver and one confirmed time across the departure and the return.
Fuel, tolls, and the SunPass lanes are folded into the price, so nothing is tacked on at drop-off. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included. A child seat can be added for $15, arranged when you book. If the group needs to break the trip, an added stop runs $45 for each 30 minutes. A name sign at the exit is the one other small extra, at $20. Anything unusual is worth a quick WhatsApp note before the travel day so the space or the timing is set ahead.
Between 7 AM and 9 PM the pickup counts as daytime and adds nothing extra. A ride that starts outside that window carries a small overnight amount tied to the vehicle: the black SUV takes a flat $20 for trips inside Miami-Dade and Broward, and the vans add 10% over the trip value. Since disembarkation from a cruise usually lands within daytime hours, most transfers to Goulds never touch the overnight rate at all.
A late arrival costs nothing extra. The driver follows the vessel’s real arrival and disembarkation timing and shifts the pickup to match, so a long line at customs never sets off a surge or a re-booking. The flat rate is already locked, which means the car simply waits and the price to Goulds stays exactly where it started.
Disembarkation morning is the whole point of this transfer, so set the pickup for shortly after your scheduled debark time and the driver is in position. Booking at least 24 hours ahead lets the driver be assigned; shorter notice is reviewed by hand, though a car cannot be promised. Even when several ships clear together, the reserved vehicle is waiting at the curb.
The rate is per vehicle, never per head, so the whole party rides for the single posted price. A couple in the SUV pay what a filled van pays, and adding the return leg simply doubles the figure. The number quoted at booking is the number you settle on travel day.
Plan on one checked bag plus a carry-on for each passenger, with genuine room for cruise cases in the SUV and both van sizes. Traveling with extra or oversized pieces? A quick WhatsApp message before the day lets the driver confirm the fit or move the group up to a larger van. Pets are welcome too, with a heads-up beforehand and a carrier for the ride.
Yes — the ride ends at whatever street you give, whether that is a family home, a business, or a stay somewhere nearby in south Miami-Dade. Most of the community is housing rather than hotels, so plenty of cruise visitors lodge somewhere close and hand the final leg to the driver, door to door. Share the exact address at booking and it reaches the driver with the rest of the trip details.
To lock in a private black-car transfer between Port of Miami and Goulds, share your cruise ship, the terminal, how many are traveling, and the pickup time over WhatsApp at 786-682-8748, or call 786-682-8748. The driver’s name, vehicle, and plate arrive by text the day before, and the ride runs around the clock, every day of the year.
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.
