From $295 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Westgate, with a driver who meets you at the cruise terminal.
One flat figure covers the whole vehicle and every bag your group carried off the ship, so the number holds no matter how full the seats are. Choose the tier that matches your party size:
Pickup happens right at the cruise terminal, not in a distant rideshare lot. Once your ship clears and you step off with your luggage, the driver is already positioned curbside, ready to load the bags and pull away. Meet and greet is part of the booking, so there is no app to open and no scramble to find a stranger among the disembarking crowd. Ask ahead on WhatsApp for a name sign and the driver holds one for a $40 charge, which makes spotting each other simple in a busy morning rush. From the moment you reach the curb, the car stays reserved for your group alone, with room for the extra bags that pile up after a week at sea.
PortMiami runs several separate cruise terminal buildings, and the one your line uses is assigned sailing by sailing, so last season’s berth is no guide to this week’s. Send the ship name and the disembarkation date when you book, and the driver is routed to the exact building for that morning rather than guessing from the cruise line alone. That small detail keeps the pickup clean even on mornings when three or four ships empty at once.
Westgate is a settled residential community in central Palm Beach County, sitting just west of downtown West Palm Beach. It reads as everyday streets, family homes, small eateries and neighborhood shopping rather than a tourist strip, so arriving cruisers trade terminal crowds for a quiet local pace. The wider West Palm Beach area, with its restaurants and entertainment, sits a short drive from most Westgate addresses. Whether the trip ends at a relative’s door or a place you are basing yourself between sailings, the driver drops you at the exact address you give. That makes it a straightforward end point, with no second ride or connection to arrange once the port is behind you.
A booking is held with a 50% deposit at the time you reserve, and the remaining half is paid straight to the driver on the day of the trip. The fare is charged per vehicle for the whole group, never per head, so the figure in the price list is the complete cost for the ride. Pricing is one-way: if you want the return leg back to the port for a later sailing or a flight, a round trip is simply the one-way rate doubled, booked as a second leg so one driver and a fixed pickup time cover both directions.
A few practical add-ons round out the ride, each confirmed when you book:
Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no surcharge. A ride that starts outside that window adds a small off-hours amount on the SUV:
The exact minutes shift with your disembarkation wave and how heavy the roads leaving the terminal are that morning. Cruise passengers are released in groups, and a first-wave, pre-breakfast exit often meets slower traffic around the port than a midday pickup. The driver plans your pickup around the ship’s real disembark time, then takes a direct, door-to-door route to Westgate so the time on the road stays as short as the day allows.
Every fare shown is per vehicle, not per head. The whole party rides for the single figure in the price list, whether the SUV carries two travelers or five, and nothing is added per passenger. A round trip is the one-way price doubled, and each vehicle is reserved for your group only, never pooled with other passengers.
Yes, and it is the most common request on this route. Book the pickup for shortly after your scheduled debark, and the driver is in position when your group reaches the curb. If several ships clear PortMiami at the same time, the reserved car still waits and the fare stays fixed, so a busy morning does not change what you pay for the ride to Westgate.
Yes. Beyond the cruise terminal, the same private SUV or van links Westgate with Miami International Airport, and other airports and cities can be arranged on request. It is the identical flat, per-vehicle rate and the same door-to-door, one-way service in either direction, booked the same way over WhatsApp.
Lock in your Port of Miami to Westgate ride as soon as your sailing dates are set. Send your ship name, disembarkation date, group size, and bag count on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748, and the vehicle, the flat rate, and the pickup plan are confirmed in a single reply.
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. 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, 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.
The two of us booked a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t deal with the port crowds on the way to Westgate. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was ours when we walked out. The meet-and-greet at the curb came with the booking, and we found the car with no trouble.
First time cruising on my own out of PortMiami, and having a private car waiting at the terminal for the trip to Westgate took the worry away. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so I never had to rush to gather the bags.
A few friends and I came off the ship together and booked one private van from the cruise terminal to Westgate. We’ve already booked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
Ao descer do navio sem companhia, a última coisa que eu queria era brigar por um carro no porto, então tinha um traslado privativo combinado para me levar até Westgate. Na noite anterior recebi uma texto com o nome do motorista e a placa, então não havia nada para resolver ao sair. Descendo do navio por conta própria, me senti totalmente tranquilo do terminal até Westgate.
Cruising with the kids, we didn’t want any disembarkation-day chaos, so a private van straight to Westgate made the day. The van was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, and there was space for everything.
