From $175 per vehicle — a private, one-way black-car ride from Port of Miami straight to your Richmond West door, by SUV or van.
Every fare below is the price for the whole vehicle, not per seat, and it locks the moment the booking is confirmed — traffic and demand never move it.
Your driver is curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, right where passengers exit after customs. Thirty minutes of courtesy waiting come with the pickup, so there is room to gather bags before you head out. Ask on WhatsApp beforehand and a name sign is held at the curb for an added $20. Disembarkation day is the most-booked slot, and it runs the same way each time: reserve using your ship’s name and docking date, and the car is in place as you walk out. Meet-and-greet is part of the ride at no charge.
A late dock changes nothing about the fare or the plan. The driver follows the vessel’s real arrival and disembark timing, then moves the meet to fit — no added fee, no re-booking. Walk off once you are cleared, and a car is already waiting.
From the port the route runs southwest across Miami-Dade County toward Richmond West, and the door-to-door time swings with the day and hour more than anything else. A quiet midday trip moves quickly. Cruise mornings are the slow stretch — when several vessels clear together, the roads out of downtown and the southbound routes load up fast, and the ride runs longer than an off-peak crossing. The driver reads live traffic and picks the cleanest exit from the terminal. Since the price is set per vehicle, a slower road never lifts what you owe.
Richmond West is a low-key, family-minded pocket of southwest Miami-Dade County, a good distance from the crowds that ring the port downtown. Nearly all of it is residential — block after block of single-family homes, with local parks, schools, and the odd shopping plaza mixed in — and it lands near the southern rim of the metro, close to where the built-up streets fade into the greener Redland farm belt and open ground. For a visit to family, a base in the southern suburbs, or a pause in a longer Florida trip well away from beach nightlife, it works as a quiet place to set down.
Choose by headcount and by how much cruise luggage rides along; each option is private and held for your party alone.
The per-vehicle rate carries the entire trip, with nothing tacked on at the curb. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel all sit inside the price. Every ride carries WiFi over a mobile hotspot, and the driver loads and unloads each bag. Driver details — name, vehicle, and plate — arrive by text the day before, alongside your pickup notes. A short list stays separate: a child seat is $15 each and is fitted on request at booking, and a brief added stop along the route runs $45 per 30 minutes. Gratuity is optional and never assumed.
A pickup that starts on the Miami side is held with a 50% deposit, and the balance goes to the driver on trip day, cash welcome. Cover the deposit by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link over WhatsApp. Pricing is one-way and per vehicle: the figure shown carries the full group for a single run, and a round trip is that one-way figure doubled, kept on a single reservation so one driver handles both legs.
The daytime window runs 7 AM to 9 PM at no surcharge. A pickup set outside those hours carries a small night fee.
Pricing runs by the vehicle, not by the head. Two riders sharing the SUV, or fourteen filling the larger van, pay the same flat figure from the list. That figure is fixed at booking, so no surge and no per-seat tallying ever enter the ride.
Yes, with a little prep. Some addresses in this corner of the county sit behind a staffed booth or a keypad, and a hired car carries no resident pass. Ask whoever you are visiting to register your arrival through the community’s guest app, or to call it down to the gatehouse. Mention which street the main entrance opens onto, too, since side gates usually stay reserved for residents.
Both work with a heads-up on WhatsApp. A child seat is $15 each, fitted for the right age and size once you say how many little ones ride along. Small pets travel too, in a proper carrier — flag it before the trip so the right vehicle and the space for it are set aside for the trip.
Reserve at least a day out and the right vehicle can be locked for your group size. Anything inside that 24-hour window still gets a manual look, but a slot is not promised. Already have a booking? An agreed pickup time will shift with a day’s notice or more, as long as the schedule allows.
Lodging sits across southwest Miami-Dade’s suburbs and the roads feeding them, near the family neighborhoods and shopping plazas. Because the ride is door to door, you are dropped at the exact street address you name — a house, a vacation rental, or a local hotel — so no follow-on ride is needed once you land in Richmond West.
To lock a date, message the ship name, the arrival day, how many are traveling, and the Richmond West drop address; a vehicle and a curbside plan come back confirmed. Book a day ahead or more to hold the price and keep a private SUV or van for the one-way run from Port of Miami.

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.
Nosso grupo reservou uma van direto do terminal até Richmond West, e foi muito fácil. Tinha espaço de sobra para o grupo todo e a pilha inteira de malas numa van só até Richmond West. Na noite anterior recebemos uma texto com o nome do motorista e a placa, então não havia nada para resolver ao sair.
Nuestro grupo bajamos del barco juntos y reservamos una van privada de la terminal de cruceros a Richmond West. Había un buen período de gracia desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para pasar la aduana.
We got off the ship with the kids worn out after the cruise, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Richmond West painless. The car was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
Bajamos del barco cansados pero contentos y un auto privado desde la terminal a Richmond West marcó la pauta. El auto estaba con espacio de sobra para todo el equipaje del crucero, con el aire perfecto tras el barco.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and getting a private car to meet us at the terminal for the ride to Richmond West took all the stress out of it. An easy, smooth handoff for the two of us from the ship to Richmond West. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no guessing at the curb when we walked out.
