From $660 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Timeless Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Timeless Resort sits in the Sarasota area, on Florida’s Gulf coast, roughly 228 road miles up the peninsula from the cruise terminals at the Port of Miami. For travelers stepping off a ship, it is a change of pace — a resort stay set well away from the port bustle, reached by a single quiet run north rather than a scramble for a ride at the pier. The distance makes it a genuine road trip, and that is exactly the kind of leg a private vehicle handles best.
On arrival, your driver pulls up at the resort’s main entrance and unloads at the door, so your bags come off beside you rather than at a distant lot. There is no queue to join and no meter running — the vehicle is reserved for your group alone, from the terminal curb to the front of the resort. If you are heading the other way on embarkation day, the same driver returns you to your ship’s terminal at the port on the reverse leg.
Sarasota rewards the drive with a slower, coastal rhythm once you settle in, and having your own vehicle door to door means the transition from cruise deck to resort lobby stays simple. You arrive rested, with your luggage carried to the entrance and your date and time already planned around your sailing. The flat, per-vehicle rate covers the whole group one way, so what you book is what you pay when you reach Timeless Resort.
Count on roughly 230 to 238 minutes terminal to door, light traffic to heavy, over the 228-mile run via Florida’s Turnpike. The pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guessed hour, and a courtesy wait window absorbs a slow gangway, so nobody is left standing while the ship empties. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, and that congestion is already priced into the plan.
It is a door-to-door ride in a vehicle held for your party alone. Your bilingual chauffeur meets you as you walk off, loads every bag into the vehicle, and drives the single leg north with fuel and standard tolls already built into the flat rate. At Timeless Resort you are dropped at the main entrance with your luggage carried to the curb beside you, so the last stretch of the trip is as easy as the ride itself.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. The first child seat or booster is included on request and each additional one is $20, and any added stop is $45 per 30 minutes.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
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.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
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.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
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. The first seat or booster is included with your booking, each additional one is $20, and they are 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, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Para un desembarque fácil, mi esposo y yo hicimos que un conductor privado nos recibiera en la terminal de cruceros y nos llevara a Timeless Resort. Un traspaso fácil y sencillo para los dos — del barco a Timeless Resort sin nada que resolver. Teníamos una confirmación clara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal.
Privado, puntual, y no tuvimos que preocuparme por nada entre el barco y Timeless Resort. Teníamos todo el plan antes de que el barco atracara, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto.
After a long week at sea, having the ride already handled to Timeless Resort was such a relief. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
Traveling with the whole family, we arranged a private van to meet us at the cruise terminal and take everyone over to Timeless Resort. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was reliable and on time.
We booked one van for the entire crew from the terminal to Timeless Resort so nobody got left behind. No scramble at the port — we just went straight from the curb into the car.
