From $660 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lockhart in a black SUV or van, met at your cruise terminal.
Each fare is the total for the whole vehicle, fixed the moment you reserve and unchanged by traffic or the time of day. Pick the tier that matches your party and your bags.
Once your ship ties up at Port of Miami and you clear the terminal hall with your luggage, your driver is already at the curb outside. Meet-and-greet comes with every booking, so the driver takes the cases and walks you to the vehicle rather than leaving you to search a rideshare lot. Ask for a name sign when you book and the driver holds it up in the disembarkation crowd for a small $20 charge, which makes the meeting quick when several ships empty at once. From that curb it is a single door-to-door run north, with no ticket line and no shared seats.
Disembarkation morning is what this transfer is built around. Send your ship name and pickup details when you reserve, ideally a day ahead, and the driver follows your arrival and clearance timing. If customs and the walk-off run long, or the ship simply docks late, the pickup shifts to match at no added cost — there is nothing to re-book and no change fee. Even on a busy morning when several vessels release passengers together, the vehicle is held for your party and waiting the moment you clear the building.
Three private tiers cover a couple through a large family, and each one carries your party alone. Match the vehicle to your headcount and the pile of cruise luggage:
The standard allowance is one checked bag plus a carry-on per rider; message ahead on WhatsApp if you have oversized or extra pieces so the right size is set aside.
Lockhart is a Central Texas town whose compact downtown wraps around a historic courthouse square. The feel is small-town and walkable — local storefronts, a few cafés, and a barbecue tradition the town has carried for generations. It draws travelers after an unhurried Texas pace rather than a big-city rush, and it works as a quiet base or as one stop on a longer route. Community events fill the calendar through the year around that central square. Whichever address in Lockhart you are headed to, the drop is door-to-door, so the vehicle takes you straight to your lodging with no second transfer.
This is a long-distance transfer, so the hours on the road hinge on your departure time and conditions rather than one fixed figure. Early or mid-day starts tend to move more smoothly, while a hectic disembarkation window — several ships clearing at once around the terminals — can add time at the very start. Your driver watches your ship’s timing and sets out when your group is genuinely clear of the port, so the vehicle is not idling and you are not left waiting. Because it is a longer run, one short comfort stop can be arranged in advance; any extra stop you add on the day is billed at $45 per thirty minutes. Pricing is one-way, and a round trip is simply double that fare, with the same vehicle bringing you back to the port for a later sailing.
You lock the booking with a 50% deposit and hand the remaining half to your driver on the day of the ride, cash accepted at that point. The deposit goes through a secure link, Venmo, or Zelle sent over WhatsApp, and the amount is charged per vehicle for the whole group, never per person. The day before pickup, your driver’s name, vehicle, and plate arrive by message along with the meeting details, so everything is arranged before you dock.
Daytime hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. A pickup that falls outside that window carries a night fee on the SUV: $20 for a trip that stays inside Miami-Dade or Broward, and $50 once the route reaches beyond those counties, as a long haul like this one does. The fee is flagged here so the number is clear before you confirm, with nothing added quietly at the curb.
The fare covers the private vehicle, your driver, and the road costs — tolls and fuel are built in, so nothing extra accrues along the way. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included, and the driver loads and unloads your luggage at both ends. A name sign is $20 when you want one held up at the curb. The first child seat runs $15 for this Port of Miami route — tell the driver the child’s age when you book so the correct seat is fitted. Food, drinks, and any optional stop sit outside the fare and are confirmed over WhatsApp before your travel day.
Every booking is fully private. The SUV or van carries only your party — no strangers and no detours to collect other riders. From the Port of Miami curb to your Lockhart doorstep, the vehicle is yours alone for the whole run.
Reserve at least 24 hours before your cruise clears for the best chance at the vehicle and time you want. Later requests are still looked at by hand, though availability is not promised. Need to move a booked time? Give 24 hours notice and the pickup shifts, subject to what is open.
Yes. The first child seat is $15 on this Port of Miami route, and any additional seat is confirmed when you reserve. Share each child’s age at booking so the right seat is installed before you reach the terminal. Fitting it in advance keeps the curbside meeting quick.
A later departure only means a later pickup, and the driver re-times to match your actual clearance at no added cost. If that window slips past 9 PM, the SUV night fee described above applies. Otherwise the fare holds exactly as booked for the drive to Lockhart.
The standard allowance is one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger, with real room for cruise suitcases. If your group is carrying extra or oversized pieces, send a note on WhatsApp ahead of time so the space is confirmed or a larger van is set, and nobody rides with a bag on their lap.
Reserve your Port of Miami to Lockhart transfer over WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748. Send your ship name, pickup date, party size, luggage count, and your destination address, and the vehicle, the flat fare, and your driver’s details are confirmed the day 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.
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.
Took all the worry out of getting off the ship — highly recommend. The fare was locked in at booking, no surge because the port was slammed.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to Lockhart. The kids napped the whole way, and getting straight to Lockhart without a scramble at the port was a relief.
Fuimos de crucero en grupo y queríamos al grupo entero en un solo viaje privado a Lockhart tras desembarcar. Reservar fue rápido, recibimos todo por escrito, y todo calzó perfecto. El viaje a Lockhart fue cómodo y sin apuros, fresco y cómodo, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero. Lo reservaría para el próximo crucero.
Cruising with the kids, we wanted the port end handled, so a private van straight to Lockhart was perfect. The last thing you want after a cruise is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when we needed it. For a reliable way to get from the port to Lockhart, it was money well spent.
All of us came off the ship at once and it was so easy to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Lockhart — no splitting up. No lot to comb through — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there. It was only us in the car — nobody else to wait on — which was so much nicer than piling in with strangers. Made getting off the ship so easy.
