From $590 per vehicle, a private one-way black-car ride from Port of Miami to Pine Castle, cruise terminal to your door.
Each figure below covers the whole vehicle for the trip between the PortMiami cruise terminals and any Pine Castle address, fixed the moment you book and never moved by traffic or the season.
Once your ship clears and you gather your bags, the driver is standing curbside at your arrivals terminal, ready to take the cart and load the car. Curbside meet and greet comes with every booking; if you would rather be found by a printed name board, that is a $20 add-on you request when you reserve. Send the ship and sailing date over WhatsApp and the pickup spot is confirmed ahead of time, so nobody circles the lanes hunting for a ride.
PortMiami runs a row of passenger buildings, and the cruise line assigns each sailing to one of them rather than letting you pick. A returning cruiser who remembers a terminal from an earlier voyage can end up at the wrong end of the port — the one delay worth heading off. Send the ship’s name with your date and we match it to the right building, so the car sits where you walk out.
Pine Castle is a settled residential community inside the greater Orlando region of Central Florida, with the feel of a working neighborhood rather than a tourist strip. Daily life turns on family homes, small independent businesses, casual eateries and local services instead of high-rise resorts. The community also lends its name to a long-standing nonprofit that supports people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, whose work you can read about at the Pine Castle organization. Sitting inside the wider Orlando metro, it stays within reach of the theme parks and dining Central Florida is known for while holding a quieter, lived-in character — a practical base whether you are heading home after a sailing or setting out toward the region’s bigger attractions.
This is a long-distance highway transfer rather than a quick hop across town, so plan on a substantial door-to-door drive. The time depends on your departure hour and on traffic around the terminals, which builds whenever several ships load or unload together; an off-peak start moves freely, while a mid-day disembarkation shared with other vessels can stretch things out. Because the route is a long one, a single short comfort stop for a restroom break or a snack can be arranged — just flag it when you book. The cabin stays climate-controlled the whole way, and the pace is kept steady rather than rushed, so everyone can unwind after a full week aboard.
Three private tiers cover groups of every size, each one held for your party alone. The black SUV takes up to five passengers with cruise luggage aboard and suits couples, solo travelers and small families. A larger private van steps in for six to nine, and the biggest van carries ten to fourteen, keeping an extended family or a group of friends together for the whole run to Pine Castle. Share your headcount and bag count over WhatsApp, and we size you to the tier that fits, moving up when oversized luggage needs the room.
A private car reserved only for your group is the core of the service, and the rate is one flat per-vehicle figure locked at booking, so it never climbs with demand or the hour. A fifty percent deposit confirms the reservation, and the remaining half goes straight to the driver on trip day, with cash accepted for that balance. Every price is a one-way fare; a round trip is simply that figure doubled under one reservation, so your return to the port is set before you sail. Curbside meet and greet is included, a printed name board runs $20, and a child seat is $15 when you need one — all confirmed over WhatsApp before you commit.
Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no surcharge. A pickup outside that window adds a small night fee on the SUV — $20 when the run stays inside Miami-Dade or Broward, and $50 once it reaches beyond those counties. The figure is stated up front with the rest of your quote, so a pre-dawn debark or a late docking never becomes a surprise at the curb.
The drive is booked as one direct, door-to-door run, so there are no detours to gather other riders. If you do want a stop of your own — a quick errand or a bite on a long haul — extra time is billed at $45 per thirty minutes, agreed before the day so the figure is never a guess. Otherwise the car goes straight from the terminal to your Pine Castle doorstep with every bag in a single load.
Reserving at least a day ahead locks your vehicle and pickup slot, and the sooner you send details the easier it is to match your exact disembarkation morning. Your driver’s name and vehicle details arrive by text the evening before. Same-day requests can sometimes be fitted in — message us on WhatsApp and we will tell you straight away.
Cruise mornings rarely run to the minute, so the driver watches your vessel’s arrival and shifts the pickup when customs or disembarkation runs long, at no added cost. Give us the ship’s name and arrival details at booking and the timing is tracked for you. You step off to a car already in position.
Every passenger travels with a checked bag plus a carry-on, and each vehicle has room for a full set of cruise luggage. Bringing oversized or extra bags? Message ahead on WhatsApp so we can confirm the space or move you up to a larger van. Nothing gets left on the curb.
The fare is charged per vehicle, not per head, so the whole group rides for the single flat figure shown in the pricing list. Add passengers up to the vehicle’s limit without changing the total. It is a one-way price, and a return leg is booked as the same fare doubled under one reservation.
Yes. The same private cars link Miami International Airport with Pine Castle as well as the PortMiami cruise terminals, so an airport arrival and a cruise pickup can sit under one booking. Pickups start on the Miami side and finish door-to-door wherever your group is headed. Tell us both ends and your dates on WhatsApp and each leg is set with its own vehicle and time.
Lock in your private one-way transfer between Port of Miami and Pine Castle before you sail. Send your ship, date, group size and bag count over WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748, and we confirm the vehicle, the fare and your pickup plan the same day.
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.
Traveling on my own after the cruise, I wanted the ride handled, so a private car out to Pine Castle made the morning easy. I’ve already earmarked them for my next cruise out of PortMiami.
My wife and I wanted a clean handoff at PortMiami, so we booked a private ride to Pine Castle. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal. It was only us in the car — no side pickups — which was so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
Para un desembarque sin estrés, mi esposo y yo hicimos que un conductor privado nos recibiera en la terminal y nos llevara a Pine Castle. Un traspaso fácil y cómodo para los dos, del barco a Pine Castle. Sin app de rideshare — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
We cruised with a big crew and wanted the whole group in one private ride to Pine Castle after disembarking. There was room for everyone for the whole group and all our cruise luggage in one van to Pine Castle. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to struggle with anything. Would book again for the next cruise.
We cruised as a group and wanted the whole group in one private ride to Pine Castle after disembarking. For a reliable way to get from the port to Pine Castle, it was money well spent. The last thing you want after a cruise is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when we needed it.
