From $585 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sky Lake in a chauffeured black car.
Every fare below is the full price for the whole vehicle, fixed the moment you book and unchanged by traffic, tolls, or how many ships share the port that morning. One flat rate carries your entire group north from the cruise terminal, with no per-seat charge added on top.
Cruise mornings move fast, so the pickup is built around your ship rather than a set clock time. Once you clear customs and step out of the terminal with your bags, your driver is already waiting curbside in the black car, holding a name sign if you asked for one when you booked. There is no app to open and no rideshare lot to search. The driver loads the luggage, walks your group to the car, and pulls away for the run north. If several ships disembark together and the terminals empty slowly, the driver tracks your real arrival and holds the pickup at no charge, so a late dock never costs you the ride.
Sky Lake is a calm, mostly residential pocket of northern Miami-Dade County, set well back from the downtown crowds and the port. Everyday shopping plazas, neighborhood restaurants, and patches of greenery ring the streets, giving it a lived-in, low-key character rather than a tourist-strip feel. It suits travelers who want a quiet place to land after a sailing, while the beaches, shopping, and business hubs of greater Miami stay an easy drive off. For more on the area, you can look at the Sky Lake community center. Whatever your exact street address, the private black car brings your group straight to the door.
The trip from Port of Miami to Sky Lake runs straight north through Miami-Dade, most of it along I-95. Early departures after a typical disembarkation tend to clear the port area quickly, while a morning when many ships unload at once can slow the first stretch out of the terminals. Your driver reads the roads in real time and takes the clearest northbound lanes instead of crawling with the pack. Since the pickup is set to your ship’s actual arrival and shifts on its own when you dock late, the ride stays unhurried from the terminal curb to your front door.
A 50% deposit confirms the booking; the balance — the other half — is handed to your driver on ride day. Payment goes through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link over WhatsApp or the site, and the fare is billed per vehicle for the entire group rather than per head. Booking both legs doubles the one-way fare under one reservation, with the same driver bringing you back to Port of Miami for your next sailing. Reserving early keeps a specific car and driver held for your group long ahead of the ship tying up at the terminal.
The flat fare covers the private black car, the bilingual driver, and door-to-door service from the terminal curb to your Sky Lake address, with tolls and fuel already included. Curbside meet-and-greet is part of the fare; a personal name sign at the terminal can be added for $20. A child seat is $15 on a Port of Miami pickup — just tell the driver the age and how many when you reserve. If you need an extra stop along the way, that runs $45 for each additional 30 minutes and is arranged ahead of time. Everything essential to the ride is already part of the price you agreed to.
Daytime pickups run from 7 AM to 9 PM with no added charge. A pickup outside that window carries a fixed night fee on the black SUV — $20 when both ends sit inside Miami-Dade or Broward, and $50 when the trip reaches beyond those counties. Since the drop-off stays in northern Miami-Dade, a standard run keeps to the lower band. The fee is shown before you confirm, so nothing lands unexpectedly on the day you travel.
The rate is per vehicle, not per seat. Your whole group rides for the single flat fare listed above, whether that is two people in the black SUV or a full party spread into a van. Booking both directions doubles that figure under one reservation.
Nothing changes on your end. The driver follows the ship’s real arrival and the pace of disembarkation, then re-times your curbside pickup for free if customs runs long. The moment you are through the terminal, your reserved black car is already at the curb.
Reserving at least 24 hours ahead locks your preferred pickup window. Same-day requests are still checked by hand, though a vehicle cannot be promised on short notice. Once it is confirmed, message the driver on WhatsApp with your ship, terminal, and group size the night before.
Yes. The van for 6 to 9 passengers suits mid-sized groups, and the 10-to-14 van carries the largest parties heading to Sky Lake together, with room set aside for a week of checked bags. Every tier is a private ride reserved for your party alone, so no one splits across separate cars. Share your bag count when you book and the right vehicle is set aside.
Share your sailing, the cruise terminal, your pickup date, how many are traveling, and the Sky Lake drop-off, and your driver, vehicle, and price come back confirmed. Message on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 for the fastest reply, or call 786-682-8748. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead to hold your pickup time.
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.
We cruised as a group and wanted all of us and the bags in one private ride to Sky Lake after disembarking. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
Sacar a un grupo grande del barco y hasta Sky Lake suele ser un dolor de cabeza, pero una van privada reservada le quitó todo el estrés. El viaje a Sky Lake fue silencioso y relajado, con clima controlado, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero. Había una ventana de cortesía desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para bajar del barco.
The two of us arranged a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t hunt for a ride on the way to Sky Lake. The van was spotless, a relief in the Miami heat. For a no-hassle way to get from the port to Sky Lake, it was absolutely worth booking.
All of us came off the ship together and it was a relief to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Sky Lake — everyone in one vehicle. The fare was set up front, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning. Booking was quick, we got clear pickup details, and everything went exactly as planned.
Private, punctual, and stress-free — way easier than fighting for a ride at the port. Booking was quick, we got everything in writing, and everything lined up perfectly.
