From $100 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Medley — flat rate in a black SUV or van, no surge.
The fare covers the whole private vehicle, not each seat, so the group rides for one flat amount:
The pickup point is the curb outside your PortMiami cruise terminal. Once the ship is cleared and you step out with your luggage, the driver is there to take the bags and load them before the car rolls. The first thirty minutes of waiting after the set pickup time cost nothing, which comfortably covers the slow crawl of a disembarkation morning. There is room in the SUV and the vans for a full set of cruise luggage, so a whole family loads in one go. Every traveler is counted for one checked bag and one carry-on, and the driver is bilingual — English plus Spanish or Portuguese.
Medley is a small, work-first town in northwest Miami-Dade, given over to warehouses, freight yards, and wholesale trade instead of shoreline or nightlife.
Most of Medley’s ground is logistics space and light manufacturing, with only a small resident population tucked among the commercial parks. People come out here for a wholesale supplier, a warehouse showroom, a corporate office, or a shift at one of the many distribution operations — not for landmarks. The feel is practical and industrial, and the inland stretch of the county around it keeps the same working character. It also sits within easy reach of the wider inland business corridors nearby, which share that warehouse-and-freight tone. For a broader look at the town, the Medley neighborhood guide fills in the background.
This is a short inland hop rather than a long cross-county haul. From the terminal the route joins the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) westbound, pulling away from the coast toward the freight belt Medley occupies. In the quiet of mid-morning or early afternoon the road flows and the drive is brief; during weekday rush, or on a morning when several ships unload at once and the port sends out one heavy wave, the same stretch runs longer. Live traffic decides the cleanest inland line, and whatever the clock does the booked fare does not move — pricing here is one-way and point-to-point, with no meter ticking.
Book at least 24 hours before the sailing so the private vehicle is set aside. Half the fare is paid as a deposit to confirm, and the balance is handed to the driver on the day of the ride. The charge is per vehicle for the whole group, not per passenger, and every leg is priced one-way — a return is simply booked as its own ride. A confirmed pickup can still be shifted with reasonable notice. To start, send the ship name, sail date, group size, and the Medley drop-off over WhatsApp, and the vehicle and price come back confirmed.
A meet-and-greet at the terminal comes with every ride at no cost — the driver finds the group and lends a hand with the bags. For a sign held up with your name at the crowded exit, add $40 to the booking. A child seat is $15 and is fitted before pickup, so pass along the ages and the number of seats ahead of time. If the trip needs an added stop on the way, the extra waiting is billed at $45 per 30 minutes and is arranged at booking rather than sprung at the curb.
The standard daytime window is 7 AM until 9 PM, and nothing is added during those hours. A pickup set outside it carries a modest night charge: on the black SUV it is $20 as long as the ride stays within Miami-Dade or Broward — the case for this Port of Miami to Medley run — and $50 once a trip crosses beyond those two counties. Fix the pickup time at booking and any night charge is clear before the day.
Many businesses in Medley share one street address, so the detail that matters is the bay or suite stamped on its roller door. If the stop is a workplace, message the business name as printed on its signage, the bay or suite, and a phone number staffed at that location. Should the dock or gate lock at a set hour, mention it so the drop-off lands before then.
It is per vehicle. One flat amount covers everyone aboard, whether that is a single rider or a full group of five in the SUV. Because it is billed by the car, a solo traveler and a family pay the same for the same vehicle. Larger parties simply step up to the van tier that fits the headcount, and the per-vehicle rate still holds.
Yes. The return from Medley to the Port of Miami is booked as its own one-way ride at the same per-vehicle rate, so a round trip is two legs at double the one-way price. Arrange both when you reserve, and one driver and a set pickup time cover the outbound and the way back.
The driver follows the vessel’s scheduled and actual arrival, so a slow customs line or a late berth does not add to the cost. The pickup is re-timed and the car simply waits. The rate you booked holds, with no scramble for a new ride at the curb.
Reserve this Port of Miami to Medley transfer by message: share the ship, sail date, headcount, and the Medley address, and the vehicle and flat fare come back confirmed for your date. Chat on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 to lock in the 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.
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.
Descemos do navio depois de uma semana ótima e um carro privativo direto do porto até Medley foi a decisão certa. O trajeto até Medley foi fácil o caminho todo, climatizado, e pudemos relaxar depois do cruzeiro.
Al bajar del barco, tener el traslado ya resuelto hasta Medley fue un alivio. En el auto íbamos solo nosotros — sin nadie más a quien esperar — justo lo que queríamos.
Getting a big group off the ship and out to Medley is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van made it effortless. The meet-and-greet at the curb was included, and we knew right where to go. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship.
Todo salió a tiempo de la terminal a Medley — no se puede pedir más.
Getting all of us off the ship and out to Medley is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van made it effortless. The ride to Medley was quiet and relaxed, climate-controlled, and we could just unwind. We’ve already booked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
