From $640 per vehicle — a private, one-way ride from the Port of Miami to Eatonville, in a chauffeured black SUV or larger van.
The fare is flat and set per vehicle, so the whole party rides for a single locked number, with tolls and fuel already folded in.
Once your cruise clears customs at the Port of Miami, the driver is waiting curb-side at your terminal, name sign in hand whenever that is requested ahead of time by message. Luggage goes right into the vehicle, and the ride runs door to door to the Eatonville address you name — no shared vans, no pooled riders, and no other pickups along the way. Reserving at least 24 hours before the sail date keeps the pickup calm; a shorter request is looked at by hand, though same-day space is never promised. The driver tracks the ship, so a late docking simply moves the meeting to when travelers actually step off, and a booked pickup slot can move if plans change, given a day’s notice.
Eatonville sits in the Orlando metro of Central Florida, a small historic town widely noted as one of the earliest African American communities in the country to incorporate and govern its own affairs. The writer Zora Neale Hurston grew up here, and the place keeps her memory alive through a yearly arts festival and a museum built around her work. The streets read as a quiet residential grid rather than a resort strip, dotted with family-run eateries, churches, and the landmarks that carry the town’s heritage. Because it rests inside the wider Orlando area, the region’s better-known attractions stay within easy reach while the town holds a close-knit, unhurried feel of its own. Civic details and local resources live on the official Town of Eatonville website.
This is among the longer intercity hauls leaving the Miami cruise port — a real highway drive, not a quick trip across town, aimed at the Orlando area. How long it takes depends on the day: when several ships unload the same morning, the roads near the terminal bunch up, and northbound holiday-weekend traffic adds more time, while a calm off-peak departure leaves the port quickly. Because the haul is genuinely long-distance, a brief pause for a restroom or a bite can be worked into the route if it is requested beforehand. From there it runs straight through to the drop-off, with no mid-route swaps and no extra riders added to drag out the trip.
Pricing stays one-way and per vehicle, so a round journey is just the one-way fare doubled — reserve both legs at once and the trip back to the Port of Miami holds the same flat number. For a pickup starting on the Miami side, half the fare is due at booking as a deposit, and the driver collects the rest on the day, cash fine for that portion; since the town lies well north of the city, a pickup heading the other way is set up with the full amount paid up front. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included at no charge, while a held name sign at the curb is an optional $20 add and a child seat is $15 on this Port of Miami route, fitted before pickup when it is requested at booking. Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; a ride starting outside that window carries a small SUV night fee of $20 within Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties, and an added stop on route is $45 per 30 minutes when arranged ahead. Everything else is simply the agreed flat rate, with nothing new appearing at the curb.
Yes — the vehicle carries only your group from the terminal to the drop-off, with no strangers and no pooling at any point. A black SUV holds up to five travelers, and larger parties move up to a van for six to nine or ten to fourteen. The flat rate locks the moment the booking is set, so a busy morning or heavy traffic never changes the number agreed to.
A late docking costs nothing extra. The driver follows the ship’s real arrival and disembarkation timing, so a delayed dock simply pushes the pickup to when the group clears the terminal. There is no rebooking and no penalty for a slow morning at the port — the flat fare holds exactly as reserved.
There is real room for a full sailing’s worth of bags in both the SUV and the larger van, and the driver helps load and unload every suitcase at each end. Each traveler brings luggage without a hard cap; a party carrying oversized or extra pieces can flag it by message beforehand so the right vehicle size is set. Nobody wrestles bags alone on this run to Eatonville.
The price shown is per vehicle, never per head — the whole party rides for the one flat rate, whether that is the black SUV or a van. Nothing is charged by passenger count, and the number never surges for peak mornings or holiday traffic. A round trip is only the one-way fare doubled.
Locking an Eatonville transfer takes one message. Send the cruise date, ship name, group size, pickup direction, and the Eatonville address, and the vehicle, the flat rate, and the pickup plan come back confirmed. Reach the line on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748, and book 24 or more hours ahead for the smoothest slot.
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.
After our sailing, my husband and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we arranged a private car to Eatonville. The meet-and-greet at the curb was included, and we didn’t have to search for anyone. Booking was easy, we got everything in writing, and everything lined up perfectly.
The easy way to handle PortMiami disembarkation. Would book again in a heartbeat. It was just our party in the car — nobody else to wait on — which was a relief after a week aboard.
My partner and I stepped off the ship at PortMiami and had a private car there for us to take us to Eatonville. The fare was the number we were quoted, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags.
Todo nuestro grupo bajamos del barco de una y fue un alivio tener una van privada esperando en la terminal para el viaje a Eatonville — todos en un solo vehículo.
O jeito sem estresse de resolver o desembarque no PortMiami. Recomendo muito. O motorista pôs toda a pilha de bagagem para não precisarmos fazer força.
