From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Summerland Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The terminal greeting is covered by the fare and a name sign is offered for $20. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Summerland Resort is the destination on this route, and it is the kind of address travelers head straight to once they step off the ship. Rather than a downtown high-rise or an airport hotel, the property sits close to the water, which shapes how the day tends to unfold after a cruise. Instead of chasing your next connection, you land somewhere you can settle into and slow down.
The arrival itself is unhurried. Your chauffeur pulls up at the lobby door, helps with every bag from the vehicle to the entrance, and leaves you at the property with the hard part already handled. There is no second stop to make and no shared vehicle to wait on. From the moment the doors open at the terminal to the moment your luggage is at the door, the ride belongs to your group alone.
What most guests do next is the appeal of staying here. With the shore so close, a beach afternoon becomes the obvious move: drop the bags at Summerland Resort, then walk toward the water with nothing in your hands. Whether you are checking in for a longer stay or using the property as a base before the rest of your trip, the resort works as a calm landing point after days at sea. Arrive early in the day and there is time to unwind before anything is scheduled; arrive later and the reserved ride still meets your ship on its own timing, so the plan holds either way.
From the cruise terminal it is one direct run to Summerland Resort, door to door. Your chauffeur is staged at the port and timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, so the ride is ready when you walk off the ship. Port of Miami pickups include a courtesy window of thirty minutes past the scheduled time, which means the customs and immigration lines never put the reserved ride at risk.
Throughout the trip, your luggage stays in the vehicle with you, so there is no handling it in and out along the way. The car is held for your party alone, and on the return leg the pickup is planned around your schedule at the agreed hour. It is a single, private run from the pier to the door of the resort, with the driver, the vehicle, and the timing all set around your group.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. A child seat is fitted on request for $15. Extra stops along the way are $45 per 30 minutes.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed 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.
Primera vez de crucero solo desde PortMiami, y tener un auto privado listo en la acera para el viaje a Summerland Resort lo hizo todo simple. Había una ventana de cortesía desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuve que apurarme para juntar las maletas. Era un auto privado solo para mí — sin nadie a quien esperar — un alivio tras una semana a bordo.
After a week at sea I just wanted nothing left to think about, so a private car from the port to Summerland Resort was exactly right. The night before, I got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
Al salir del barco por mi cuenta, lo último que quería era resolver el traslado en el puerto, así que tenía un auto privado reservado para ir a Summerland Resort. El van estaba fresco y cómodo, con lugar para todo.
Los dos salimos en crucero desde PortMiami y tener un auto privado esperándonos en la terminal para el viaje hasta Summerland Resort fue lo mejor del día. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue justo cuando lo necesitamos.
Easiest disembarkation we’ve had — met right at the terminal, luggage sorted, straight to the door of Summerland Resort.
