From $195 per vehicle, a private one-way ride between Port of Miami and Hillsboro Beach at a flat, fixed fare — no meter, no surge.
The figure below is the total for the whole vehicle, never a per-seat charge, and it is locked the moment the booking is confirmed. Tolls and fuel already sit inside it, so the number quoted is the number paid. Demand, weather, and holiday traffic never nudge it upward once it is set.
Disembarkation runs its own rhythm: you file off the ship, clear customs, and gather the week’s luggage before stepping out to the curb. The driver is already positioned curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, watching the vessel’s real arrival rather than a guessed hour, so a slow customs hall does not leave anyone stranded. Ask for a name sign when you message ahead and the driver holds it as you exit the building. The vehicle model, plate, and driver name arrive by text the day before, and there is space set aside for full cruise bags, so nobody wrestles suitcases toward a rideshare lot.
Hillsboro Beach is a narrow barrier-island town on the Atlantic edge of northern Broward County, threaded between the open ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. It keeps a low-rise, residential-beach feel — quiet sand, a calm shoreline, and the landmark Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse instead of a crowded boardwalk. The town is a known sea-turtle nesting ground, and its pace stays deliberately gentle next to the larger beach cities nearby. The barrier island draws quiet swimmers and walkers rather than a nightlife crowd, and that mellow tone is part of what brings cruise travelers to Hillsboro Beach after a week at sea. From the port the route runs north on I-95 into coastal Broward and ends at whatever address you provide, door to door. For local detail, see the Town of Hillsboro Beach official site or the visitor guide at Visit Lauderdale.
Coastal towns along this stretch hold lighting ordinances through turtle-nesting season, so the beach side of the road stays intentionally dim once the sun drops and building numbers are tough to read from a moving car. For a late arrival into Hillsboro Beach, send the building or complex name alongside the street address and switch on a porch or lobby light if you can. The driver phones as the car turns onto your street so the final hand-off stays simple even in the dark.
A booking holds with a 50% deposit, and the remaining half goes straight to the driver on the day of the ride. The curbside meet and greet is part of that price, not a line item bolted on later. Every fare here is one-way, quoted for a single direction; a round trip is simply two one-way legs reserved together, with the same vehicle returning your party to Port of Miami for a connecting sailing or flight. Reserve both legs in one message and a single organized pickup covers the departure and the return. The charge is per vehicle for the whole group, so the SUV rate holds whether two travelers ride or five.
Inside the rate: the private vehicle reserved for your party alone, a bilingual driver who speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, the curbside greeting, and every toll and gallon of fuel along the way. A handful of extras apply only when you ask for them. A held name sign at the terminal adds $20. A child seat runs $15 each, so note the ages and how many seats you need when you book. An added stop is $45 per 30 minutes. A pickup that falls outside the 7 AM to 9 PM daytime window carries a $20 night fee on the SUV within Miami-Dade or Broward County, which covers Hillsboro Beach.
Per vehicle, every time. The flat figure shown above covers the entire group riding in that SUV or van, not a tally of heads. A round trip doubles the one-way number, and the vehicle stays reserved for your party alone from the terminal curb to the Hillsboro Beach door.
Nothing changes on the price side. The driver follows the ship’s actual docking and disembarkation timing and resets the pickup when the vessel runs behind, with no re-booking and no penalty. Courtesy waiting at the terminal already accounts for the usual customs delay, so a slow line is planned for rather than charged for. You step off the gangway on your own schedule and the reserved car is still at the curb.
Both are easy to arrange when you message ahead. A driver-held name sign at the PortMiami terminal is a $20 add-on, and each child seat is $15, confirmed on the booking so the seats are fitted before pickup. Share the number of seats and the children’s ages so the right setup is ready when the car arrives.
The fare is fixed at booking, so a heavy disembarkation morning or a holiday crowd never moves the number the way an app’s surge would. One vehicle is held for your group with a named driver, a curbside terminal greeting, and live tracking of the ship — not a scramble for whatever car appears. For a family juggling cruise luggage and a tight window, that reserved, door-to-door ride into Hillsboro Beach is the whole point.
To reserve the Port of Miami to Hillsboro Beach ride, message WhatsApp at https://wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your ship name, sail or disembark date, group size, and the Hillsboro Beach address. The vehicle, driver, and pickup time come back confirmed for your party.
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.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and getting a private car to meet us at the terminal for the ride to Hillsboro Beach took all the stress out of it. We got a clear confirmation, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal. It was just our party in the car — nobody else to wait on — which was a relief after a week aboard.
Ao descer do navio sem companhia, a última coisa que eu queria era brigar por um carro no porto, então tinha um traslado privativo reservado para me levar até Hillsboro Beach. O motorista colocou todas as minhas malas do cruzeiro para eu não precisar batalhar com tudo.
Just as easy as it sounded — a driver waiting, bags loaded, and an easy ride out to Hillsboro Beach. There was room for everyone for the whole group and the whole pile of suitcases in one van to Hillsboro Beach.
Everything ran on time from the port to Hillsboro Beach — couldn’t ask for more. We knew the plan before we even docked, so there was no guessing at the port.
Sacar a un grupo grande del barco y hasta Hillsboro Beach suele ser un dolor de cabeza, pero una van privada reservada lo hizo sin esfuerzo. Sin estacionamiento que recorrer — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. La tarifa estaba acordada de antemano, sin subir porque el puerto estaba lleno. Lo reservaría para el próximo crucero.
