From $615 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lake Mary Jane, door to door in a black SUV or van.
One flat fare covers the whole vehicle to your door, set the moment you book and never moved by traffic or the time of day:
Pickup happens right at the cruise terminal curb. As you clear the building with your luggage after disembarking, a bilingual driver — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — is already in position, so there is no rideshare lot to search and no app queue to join. Curbside meet-and-greet is part of the ride. Cruise mornings crowd the terminal roads as several ships empty at once, so the pickup time is planned around that congestion rather than fighting it. Once the bags are loaded, the car pulls out toward Lake Mary Jane.
Lake Mary Jane is a large freshwater lake in southeast Orange County, part of a chain of lakes on the quieter, greener side of the greater Orlando area, well away from the theme-park corridor. Its shoreline runs to cypress stands, protected preserve land, and a scattering of waterfront homes, and the open water draws anglers, paddlers, and boaters after a calm setting. The surrounding district sits close to Moss Park and the fast-growing Lake Nona area, so a rural, outdoorsy feel meets newer neighborhoods and dining within a short drive. A factual overview of the lake — its size, water quality, and public access — lives on the Lake Mary Jane page at the Orange County Water Atlas. For a cruise party that wants nature and quiet on either end of a sailing, it makes a fitting first or last stop.
Homes out this way sometimes share a single access road, sit behind a farm gate, or carry house numbers that skip. Send a map pin alongside the street address, and note whether the gate stands open or needs a code. Where a neighbor’s driveway comes first, mention it — that is the turn a navigation app tends to pick by default. No fixed clock time is quoted for this specific route; instead, your driver sets a realistic pickup window from your ship’s arrival and the day’s traffic, then keeps you posted as the run north unfolds.
A 50% deposit locks your booking, and the remaining 50% goes to your driver on the day of travel. Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent over WhatsApp or the website. The fare is charged per vehicle for the whole group, never per person, and once it is set at booking it does not shift with demand or the day of the week. A round trip is simply the one-way fare doubled, booked as a single reservation so one driver and one confirmed pickup time cover both legs.
Standard hours run 7 AM to 9 PM with no premium. A pickup outside that window adds a small night fee on the SUV — $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, and $50 for points beyond. A printed name sign held at the curb is an optional $20, and extra stops arranged along the way run $45 per 30 minutes. Tolls and fuel are already folded into the flat fare, so nothing for the road appears as a separate line at the end. Anything beyond the ride itself is spelled out before you travel, never sprung at drop-off.
Three private tiers cover the route, each reserved for your party alone. The black SUV seats up to five passengers with room for a cruise week of luggage, which suits couples, solo travelers, and small families. A van steps in for six to nine, and the largest van keeps ten to fourteen together in one vehicle with their bags. There is no shared seating and no swap to a sedan or bus — just a private car sized to your headcount. Unsure which to pick? Send your party size and luggage count on WhatsApp and the right vehicle is confirmed before you pay.
Yes — disembarkation-day pickups are the core of this run. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead so a vehicle is tied to your ship, and give your ship name and debark date when you book. Your driver plans around the morning terminal rush and is waiting curbside once you clear the building, ready for the drive north.
A late dock is not a problem and costs nothing extra. Your driver follows the ship’s actual arrival and re-times the pickup to match when you step ashore. You keep the same vehicle and the same fare, with no re-booking and no surge for a delay outside your control.
Per vehicle. The whole group rides for the one flat price shown above, whether that is the SUV or a larger van, and adding passengers up to a tier’s limit does not change it. Only a round trip changes the total, and that is simply the one-way fare doubled.
Both are easy to arrange. A child seat is $15 on this Port of Miami route — tell your driver how many you need and your children’s ages when booking so the vehicle is set up before pickup. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp and ride in a carrier. Share these details early and the right seats and space are ready at the curb.
At least 24 hours ahead secures a vehicle for your sail date, and booking earlier makes it easier to match your exact disembarkation morning. Send your ship, sail date, party size, and Lake Mary Jane drop-off address over WhatsApp, and the vehicle, fare, and pickup window come back confirmed. The day before travel, your driver’s name and vehicle details are texted to you.
Lock your private ride from PortMiami to Lake Mary Jane now. Message on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your ship, sail date, party size, and drop-off address, and the vehicle, fare, and pickup window are confirmed for you. Book at least 24 hours ahead for the easiest disembarkation-day pickup.
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.
Bajamos del barco con los pequeños y una montaña de maletas, y una van privada esperando en el puerto hizo el viaje a Lake Mary Jane muy fácil. Sin app de rideshare — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
Con toda la tropa, coordinar un auto privado de la terminal a Lake Mary Jane significó cero estrés la mañana del desembarque. Reservar fue simple, recibimos todo por escrito, y todo calzó perfecto. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — bajar del barco y subir a un auto que esperaba, sin estrés. Lo reservaría para el próximo crucero.
Viaje fácil, tarifa fija, cero complicación hasta Lake Mary Jane. Lo recomiendo sin dudar. Había un buen período de gracia desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para bajar del barco.
Não podia ser mais simples — recebidos no meio-fio, bagagem resolvida, e um traslado fácil até Lake Mary Jane. O trajeto até Lake Mary Jane foi fácil o caminho todo, fresco e confortável, e pudemos relaxar depois do cruzeiro.
Getting a big group off the ship and out to Lake Mary Jane is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van made it effortless. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no guessing at the curb when we walked out.
