From $560 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Patrick AFB on Florida’s Space Coast, meeting you right at the terminal.
Each fare below covers the whole vehicle for your group, fixed the moment you book and untouched by traffic, tolls, or how busy the cruise weekend turns out to be. Read the tier that matches your party and your pile of bags.
Your driver is at the curb as your group steps off the ship and clears the terminal with its luggage. Share the ship name and sailing date at booking, and the pickup is timed to the real disembarkation rather than a guessed hour. Mornings when several vessels empty at once clog the terminal roads, and the driver plans around that crush instead of being caught in it. Every bag is loaded for you, and the car pulls away from Port of Miami without a hunt through a parking garage.
This is a long-haul run, not a cross-town hop. From the Port of Miami terminals the route climbs north along Florida’s Atlantic coast on I-95 toward the Space Coast, and the clock depends mostly on when you travel. A light-traffic morning flows steadily; holiday cruise weekends and the hours when several ships disembark together stretch the terminal stretch first, then ease once the highway opens up. Your driver reads the conditions on the day, keeps a sensible buffer for anything time-sensitive at the far end, and picks the cleanest lanes rather than promising a fixed number on the dashboard clock.
Patrick is an active installation, and the gate decides who drives in; a civilian vehicle is not waved through simply because a passenger holds a military ID. Say at booking whether you will sponsor the driver onto the base or would rather be set down just outside the gate. Both arrangements work cleanly. What does not work is settling it at the guard post with the engine idling, so flag the plan early and the drop-off is arranged to match it.
Patrick Space Force Base, still widely called Patrick AFB, sits on a barrier-island stretch of Brevard County with the Atlantic on one side and the Banana River on the other. It is home to Space Launch Delta 45, the unit that runs the launches fired from the neighboring cape, so most arrivals are service members, families, contractors, or visitors with base business. The surrounding Space Coast leans beachy and unhurried: wide public shorelines, surf shops, small seafood spots, and low-key towns such as Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach rather than a big-city core, with a rocket climbing overhead often enough to feel routine. Official base information lives at the Patrick Space Force Base site.
A military move rarely means neat wheeled suitcases. Soft sea bags and footlockers stack differently and eat floor space, so give the count and rough size of the awkward pieces when you reserve, and the vehicle tier is chosen for the shape of the load and not just the headcount. The whole party rides together in one car held for you alone: the black SUV for up to five, or a van for six-to-nine or ten-to-fourteen. The fare is locked at booking, the driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, and questions run straight over WhatsApp instead of a call-center queue.
A one-way booking runs on a simple split: a 50% deposit confirms the vehicle and the pickup slot, and the remaining balance goes to the driver on the day of the ride. Meeting your group at the terminal is part of the service at no charge. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are already inside the quoted number, so nothing is reconciled on the road. A round trip is simply the one-way fare doubled, booked as a single reservation so the same driver and vehicle handle both legs.
Daytime runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with no premium. A pickup outside that window adds a night fee: $50 on the SUV for a run reaching the Space Coast beyond Miami-Dade and Broward, while the vans add ten percent. A child seat is $15 on a Port of Miami booking, and if you would like the driver holding a printed name sign at the curb, that is a $20 add-on. Need to pause somewhere along the coast? Extra stops run $45 per thirty minutes, arranged ahead of time so the schedule still holds.
Per vehicle. The whole group rides for the single flat number shown above, whether that is a couple in the SUV or a full van of fourteen, and nothing is added by headcount. Pick the tier that fits your party, and that is the price you pay.
A round trip is the one-way fare doubled, with the same private car carrying you back to Port of Miami for a connecting flight or your next sailing. Book both legs in one reservation so a single driver and a confirmed time cover the return. Nothing about the return is priced per person.
Yes, and the pickup re-times at no extra cost. Your driver follows the ship’s real arrival and disembarkation, so a late dock does not burn the booking or change the fare. You clear the terminal, the car is waiting, and the flat rate holds exactly as booked.
Yes. The same private black cars link Miami International Airport with Port of Miami, so a fly-in before the cruise or an onward ride after the ship returns can chain into one plan. Share both the flight and the ship details, and the pickups are lined up to your real arrival rather than a guess.
Plan on roughly one checked bag plus a carry-on per passenger, with real room for cruise and military luggage in every vehicle. Traveling with oversized or extra pieces? Send the count over WhatsApp before the day, and the driver confirms the space or sizes you up to a larger van so nothing is left at the curb.
Lock your private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Patrick AFB in a couple of messages. Send the ship name, sailing date, passenger count, and whether the driver is being sponsored onto the base over WhatsApp, and the vehicle, the flat fare, and the pickup plan come back confirmed. Reach out on WhatsApp or by phone at 786-682-8748, any hour, day or night.
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.
With kids in tow, pre-booking a private car from the port to Patrick AFB meant no scramble the morning we disembarked. The fare was locked in at booking, nothing added at the curb.
Bajamos del barco con los niños y una montaña de maletas, y una van privada ahí en la terminal hizo el viaje a Patrick AFB muy fácil. Reservar fue rápido, recibimos los datos de recogida claros, y todo salió tal cual. En el auto íbamos solo nosotros — sin compartir con nadie — justo lo que queríamos.
Para um desembarque fácil, minha esposa e eu combinamos de um motorista privativo nos receber no terminal e nos levar até Patrick AFB. Uma passagem fácil e tranquila para nós dois, do navio até Patrick AFB. Reservar foi fácil, recebemos uma confirmação sólida, e tudo bateu com o que nos disseram.
Our family of five came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded all the cruise bags for the ride to Patrick AFB.
My partner and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and had a private car waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Patrick AFB. An easy, relaxed handoff for the two of us from the ship to Patrick AFB.
