From $120 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to any Kendall address, your whole group in one car.
Each fare covers the whole vehicle for your entire party — no per-head math and no surge pricing. Pick the size that matches your group and the figure you see is the figure you pay.
Your driver is already at the cruise terminal when you step out with your bags, waiting at the curb instead of circling a pickup lane. On a crowded disembarkation morning, ask over WhatsApp for a name sign and it is held where passengers exit, so the two of you connect without searching the crowd. The driver keeps track of when your ship actually clears customs and sets the meeting to when you reach the curb, not to a fixed time that ignores the terminal. Once the luggage is loaded, the car heads straight to the address you gave, with no shared seats and no stop to gather anyone else.
Kendall spreads across southwest Miami-Dade as one of the county’s larger residential districts, shaped more by everyday suburban life than by any tourist strip. Expect quiet family streets, broad shopping plazas and big-box retail, plenty of casual and sit-down dining, and the parks, recreation areas and open green space that keep families and longer-staying visitors close by. Business parks, medical campuses and university facilities also pull people into Kendall for work and appointments, so an arriving car might be bound for a home, a rental, or an office address. For a wider view of the area, the official Kendall neighborhood guide maps out the district in more detail.
The run leaves the port district and works inland toward the residential southwest, so how long it takes leans mostly on traffic and on how the terminal itself is moving that day. When several ships empty at the same time, the streets around the port crawl, while a later, calmer departure usually clears the area faster. Your driver reads conditions as they are rather than as a schedule predicts, and chooses the cleaner path toward Kendall. If a flight or an appointment is waiting after the drop-off, mention it at booking and the pickup is planned with enough room that nothing feels rushed.
Booking a private Port of Miami to Kendall transfer holds on a 50% deposit, with the remaining half handed to the driver on the day of the ride. Every fare is one-way and set for the vehicle, so a return leg is simply the same rate booked a second time rather than a per-person charge. Reserve both directions together once you know your dates, and a single driver covers the arrival and the trip back to the terminal. The price shown at booking is the price that holds — it does not climb with the hour or the demand.
Standard hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM, and any ride that falls inside that window carries no added charge. A pickup set before or after those hours adds a small night amount — $20 on the SUV for trips staying inside Miami-Dade or Broward — confirmed when you book. To fold in a stop along the way, an added halt runs $45 for each 30 minutes, arranged ahead of time so the driver holds it. Everything is agreed before the ride, so nothing new turns up at the curb.
A meet-and-greet at the terminal comes with the ride at no charge — the driver finds you, helps with the cruise luggage, and walks your group to the car. If you would like the driver holding a printed name sign as you come out, that add-on is $40. Traveling with a young child? A child seat can be fitted for $15 on a Port of Miami pickup; just note the age and seat type at booking so it is ready in the vehicle. Anything beyond these basics is confirmed over WhatsApp before your travel day, never sprung on you later.
There is no single fixed number — the distance from the port into the district is one continuous run, but the clock depends on that day’s traffic and how the terminal is releasing passengers. A morning when many ships disembark together moves slower than a calmer afternoon slot. Your driver reads the roads live and steers around the worst of it, and if you share a later commitment at booking, the pickup is set with a margin built in.
Pickups run through the day from 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge, and a slot outside those hours is available with the small night amount noted above. Book at least a day ahead so the vehicle and driver are locked to your ship. The night before, you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle, and the plate by text, along with where to meet.
A couple or a family of up to five fits the black SUV, while a group of six to nine takes the mid-size van and ten to fourteen rides the largest van. Each one is private and kept for your party alone, with room for a week of cruise luggage. If you are unsure which size suits your headcount and bags, send both over WhatsApp and the right vehicle is confirmed before you pay.
A late arrival costs you nothing extra. The driver tracks when your ship actually docks and clears, then shifts the meeting time to match, so a delay you did not cause is never billed back to you. Keep your ship name and sail date on the booking, and the pickup is planned around your real terminal exit rather than a guessed one.
Reserve your private Port of Miami to Kendall ride by sending your sail date, ship name, group size, and Kendall drop-off address on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748, or call 786-682-8748. Book at least 24 hours ahead so your vehicle and driver are set, and the details arrive by text the night before you travel.
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.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
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, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Éramos ocho bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a Kendall fue mucho más simple que dividirnos en autos. Ya los reservamos|p:Ya los apartamos para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami.
We cruised with a group of friends and wanted the whole group in one private ride to Kendall after disembarking. The ride to Kendall was smooth and steady, cool and comfortable, and we could just unwind.
We came off the ship ready to get settled and a private car right from the terminal to Kendall set the tone. No rideshare app to fight with — we just stepped out and the car was ready. We got a clear confirmation, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
Viajando por mi cuenta tras el crucero, no quería estrés en el puerto, así que un auto privado directo a Kendall fue justo lo indicado. El auto estaba impecable, con el aire perfecto tras el barco.
My partner and I had a wonderful cruise and finished the trip with a private car ready at the curb to run us out to Kendall — no fuss at the port. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to struggle with anything. The car was clean, cool, and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
