From $100 per vehicle: your private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to a West Little River address, group and bags together.
The fare is set per vehicle and holds from the moment you reserve, so the whole party travels for one figure with no peak-hour markup.
Once your ship ties up and you clear customs, the driver is already in position at the PortMiami cruise terminal. Meet and greet comes with every booking, so someone is there to receive your group at the curb instead of leaving you to hunt down a car in a parking garage. Ask for a name sign when you message on WhatsApp and the driver holds one at the exit for a flat $20 — useful for a larger party or a first time through the port. Bags are loaded right away, and from there it is a direct run with nothing shared and no other pickups slotted in along the way.
Cruise mornings seldom run to the minute, so the pickup is built around when you actually step off rather than a clock time fixed weeks earlier. The driver follows your ship’s scheduled and real arrival, and if customs or the walk-off drags, your slot simply moves — no surcharge and no need to re-book. On busy turnaround days, when a few ships clear at the same time, extra taxis and buses crowd the terminal roads, so hold off until the driver messages that the car is close and it will be at the meeting point as you step out.
West Little River is a residential pocket of northwest Miami-Dade, built from single-family homes, small apartment blocks, and the everyday shops and family restaurants of a working Miami street rather than a tourist row. The wider Miami and Hialeah communities sit right next door, so it stays a calmer, residential base with the greater city just a short drive off. Green space such as West Little River Park gives families somewhere to slow down for an afternoon. For travelers arriving to see relatives, to settle into a new home, or simply to stay somewhere residential over a resort strip, it is a practical place to land after a sailing.
The whole trip stays within Miami-Dade County, setting off from the downtown waterfront beside the port and running toward the city’s northwest side. Because this is a local drive rather than a long haul between counties, it tends to move quickly whenever the roads are clear. The slowest stretches turn up on busy disembarkation mornings, when terminal exits and the downtown grid fill with cruise traffic; midday and evening runs usually flow with far less congestion. Your driver reads conditions in real time and picks the cleanest way through to your drop-off.
Payment is straightforward. A 50% deposit locks the booking, and the remaining half goes to the driver on the day of travel, cash accepted. The deposit can go through Zelle, Venmo, or a secure payment link sent by WhatsApp or the website. You are charged per vehicle for the entire group, never per head, so a couple and a full van each pay the same listed rate. Pricing is quoted one-way; a round trip is that fare twice, with the return pickup reserved at the same locked rate so your ride back to the port is already held.
A pickup scheduled from 7 AM to 9 PM adds nothing to the fare. Since both the port and your destination sit inside the Miami-Dade and Broward service area, a pickup set outside that window adds a flat $20 to the SUV fare, while a van booked after hours adds ten percent to the trip total instead. Give the driver your exact debark or pickup time when you book, and any night amount is confirmed up front, never sprung on you at the curb.
The flat fare already includes tolls, SunPass, and fuel, so nothing extra shows up on the road. A child seat is $15 each — say how many and the children’s ages when you reserve so the right seats are fitted before pickup. A held name sign at the terminal is $20 if you would like one waiting at the exit. Need to reach a store or a second address on the way to West Little River? An added stop runs $45 per 30 minutes, arranged ahead so the driver can plan around it. Small pets travel too, riding in a carrier when you flag it in advance on WhatsApp.
It is per vehicle. Your whole party travels on the single flat rate above, from two people up to a full fourteen-seat van. The only things that change the total are an after-hours pickup or an extra you add, such as a second stop or a child seat.
Reserve at least 24 hours ahead to hold a car for your sailing date. Last-minute requests are still looked at by hand, though a vehicle cannot be promised on short notice. Booking earlier also improves the odds of the exact tier you want on a busy turnaround weekend.
Yes — same-day disembarkation pickups are the core of this service. Share your ship name and scheduled arrival at booking, and the driver tracks it and is waiting curbside as you clear the terminal. If the ship docks late, the pickup shifts with no extra charge.
Because the neighborhood is residential, most lodging sits in the surrounding northwest Miami districts rather than on a hotel strip. Plenty of guests book a place across the broader Miami area and simply give the driver the exact address for drop-off. Wherever your street and house number are, that is where the private ride ends.
Meals, driver gratuity, and parking fall outside the quoted fare, and any gratuity is entirely optional. Waiting past the courtesy window at the terminal is charged in half-hour blocks, and so are extra stops at $45 for each thirty minutes. Everything tied to the drive itself — road tolls, SunPass, and fuel — is already inside the fare.
Ready to lock in your private ride from Port of Miami to West Little River? Reach out on WhatsApp at https://wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your ship name, sail date, passenger count, and drop-off address. Confirm with your 50% deposit, and the day before travel you get a text with the driver’s name, the vehicle, and the license plate.
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.
Clean car, no waiting around, and a driver who handled the terminal like a pro. Recommend.
No íbamos a batallar con los pequeños y el equipaje buscando transporte en el puerto, así que coordinamos una van privada a West Little River. El conductor se ocupó de las valijas para que no tuviéramos que batallar con todo.
De crucero con los niños, no queríamos caos el día del desembarque, así que una van privada esperando en la terminal West Little River nos hizo el día. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — bajar del barco y subir a un auto que esperaba, sin estrés.
We got off the ship with the kids and a mountain of luggage, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to West Little River so easy. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
Took all the worry out of the port — highly recommend. We got a clear confirmation, so there was no guessing at the port.
