From $260 per vehicle — a private, flat-rate ride from Port of Miami to Kenwood Estates, with your driver waiting curbside at the cruise terminal.
The fare covers the whole vehicle, not each seat, and it is locked the moment you book — traffic and demand never move it:
Once your ship ties up and you clear the terminal with your bags, the driver is already curbside for your group — the meet-and-greet is part of the ride, not an add-on. Disembarkation morning is the busiest pickup of all, so the arrival of your ship is watched and the timing follows your real exit rather than a guessed clock. The heavy cruise cases are loaded for you, and then it is straight into the vehicle and out toward Kenwood Estates. On a morning when several ships empty into the same window, the driver simply holds for your party until you actually reach the curb.
Kenwood Estates is a settled neighborhood of single-family homes and calm streets — the kind of place people reach to visit relatives, move into a new house, or begin a longer stay rather than to tour around. Because the ride runs door to door, the driver takes you to the exact street address you hand over, not a vague drop point. Everyday errands, groceries, and casual dining sit out along the wider area’s main roads, so most plans here center on a private home with a short hop out for anything else.
This is one continuous ride with no transfers and no shared seats — the vehicle is private to your group from the terminal to the doorstep. The real variable is not the road itself but the crowd leaving the port: on a light day the run is quick and plain, while a morning with several ships unloading at once backs up the terminal roads and stretches the trip. That is exactly why the pickup is tied to your actual clearing time instead of a fixed hour, so a car is not left running on the meter while you are still clearing customs and collecting your luggage. Give yourself a comfortable cushion if anything is scheduled at the other end.
Match the vehicle to your headcount and the pile of cruise bags, and either way the whole thing is private to your party:
The price you book pays for the drive from end to end, with tolls and fuel already folded in, so there is no per-mile meter and nobody asks for road money along the way. A handful of items sit outside that number and are confirmed up front: a name sign held for you at the terminal adds $20, a child seat runs $15, and an added stop along the route is $45 for each 30 minutes. The curbside meet-and-greet itself is included.
Half of the fare is paid as a deposit when the booking is set, and the balance goes straight to the driver on the day you travel. Every price is quoted per vehicle and one way, so the total holds whether a single passenger rides or the van is full; when a return leg is needed, that second run is priced the same as the first. Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no surcharge. Outside that window an SUV adds $20 for a trip that stays within Miami-Dade or Broward, and $50 once the drive reaches beyond those two counties.
No. The ship’s real arrival and disembarkation are watched, so if customs and the walk off the vessel run long, the pickup shifts to match at no added cost. The same vehicle is simply held for your group’s actual clearing time, with no penalty and no re-booking on your end.
Booking at least 24 hours before your sail date is the safe move, since that locks the right vehicle to your group. Shorter-notice requests are still looked at by hand, though a same-day car cannot be promised. Sending your ship name, date, and headcount early makes the match easier.
No — the fare listed above is for the whole vehicle, so the headcount never changes the total. Whether you take the SUV or one of the vans, your group rides for that single flat price. Nothing is added per head, and the number does not climb after you book.
Yes — every vehicle is sized for a full load of cruise luggage, and the driver handles the lifting at both ends. If the group is bringing oversized or extra bags, a quick message before the day lets the right vehicle be set aside or sized up. Nobody has to wrestle suitcases at the curb.
A short stop can usually be arranged when it is set up in advance. Each added stop runs $45 for every 30 minutes and is confirmed when you book, so there are no surprises on the road. Let the driver know the plan ahead of time and the route is built around it.
Lock in your private ride from Port of Miami to Kenwood Estates well before your sail date. Send your ship name, travel date, passenger count, and the drop-off address over WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748, and the vehicle, driver, and flat rate are confirmed for you.
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.
Mi esposa y yo queríamos un traspaso limpio en PortMiami, así que coordinamos un viaje privado a Kenwood Estates. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — bajar del barco y subir a un auto que esperaba, sin estrés.
Éramos siete bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a Kenwood Estates fue la jugada inteligente. Ya los reservamos|p:Ya los apartamos para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami.
With the whole crew, arranging a private car from the terminal to Kenwood Estates meant nothing to sort out the morning we disembarked. The kids were done after a week at sea, and getting straight to Kenwood Estates without a scramble at the port was a relief. Booking was quick, we got clear pickup details, and everything matched what we were told.
Our crew booked one van straight from the port to Kenwood Estates, and it worked out great. It was only us in the car — no one else’s stops — which was exactly what we wanted.
The eight of us came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the cruise terminal to Kenwood Estates. There was space to spare for the whole group and the whole pile of suitcases in one van to Kenwood Estates.
