From $625 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Gotha, driver-met at the cruise terminal, door to door.
Each figure below covers the whole vehicle for the private one-way trip to or from Gotha; choose by headcount and the full group travels on that single price.
On the morning you leave the ship, your driver waits at the cruise-terminal curb as you walk out with your bags, and a name sign can be arranged for the walk-out when you ask ahead of time. Meet-and-greet is part of every booking, so there is no rideshare lot to search and no app to open — the car is already in position. The driver follows your ship’s disembarkation timing rather than a fixed clock, which matters on a busy morning when several vessels empty at once and the terminals move slowly. Reserve at least a full day ahead with your ship name and arrival date so the pickup lands around the moment you truly clear the building. Every bag, including anything bought aboard, is loaded before you pull away.
Gotha is a quiet, lake-dotted community west of Orlando, settled by German immigrants who named it after Gotha in the Thuringia region of their homeland. The place keeps an old-world, small-village feel — shaded lanes, a scatter of modest lakes, and a residential calm that sits well apart from the busier Orlando corridor a short way east. For a group arriving off a cruise, Gotha works as a restful base within reach of central Florida’s attractions, golf and dining without dropping you into the middle of the crowds. Many travelers pair a stay here with the neighboring Windermere and west-Orlando areas, and the driver takes you straight to whatever address you give — a private home, a rental, or a stop nearby.
The trip heads north out of the port and up Florida’s Turnpike toward the Gotha area, a genuine long-haul highway drive across the state rather than a quick crosstown hop, so plan for a real stretch of road west of Orlando. Older settlements out this way were laid out long before the subdivisions around them, which means lanes can bend, a few end without warning, and house numbers do not always run in an obvious order. A dropped pin plus a line about the frontage helps more than a street name alone, and it is worth saying whether the final approach suits a long van or whether the unload happens at the roadside. On a drive this long, one short comfort stop for a restroom or a snack can be folded in along the way.
For a pickup on the Miami side, a 50% deposit holds the booking and the other half goes to the driver on the day of the trip. You can settle by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent over WhatsApp or the website. The number is charged per vehicle, not per head, so filling the seats up to a vehicle’s limit never moves it. Pricing is one-way, and a round trip is simply that one-way figure doubled, with the same car bringing you back to Port of Miami for a flight or your next sailing. The rate you agree to at booking is the rate you pay — no surge is layered on for demand or traffic.
Meet-and-greet comes with every ride at no cost; a held name sign at the walk-out adds $20, and a child seat adds $15 when you flag it at booking. Daytime service runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with no premium. A trip that starts outside that window carries a night fee on the SUV of $20 within Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 for points beyond those counties. If you need the driver to pause for an errand or a bite en route, extra stops run $45 for each 30 minutes. Mention any of these when you book so the fare is settled before the day of travel.
Book at least 24 hours ahead so the vehicle is confirmed and the pickup can be matched to your disembarkation morning. Send your ship name, arrival date, group size and destination address, and the booking is held with the deposit. Same-day requests are looked at by hand, but the earlier you reserve, the easier the timing.
No. The fare is per vehicle, so whether one person or a full group rides, the price for that vehicle stays the same. Choose the tier that fits your headcount and luggage — the SUV for up to five, a van for six to nine, or the larger van for ten to fourteen. Everyone travels together in one private car.
The pickup re-times on its own at no extra charge. Your driver follows the ship’s real arrival, so a slow customs hall or a delayed berth simply shifts the meeting time rather than costing you the ride. You keep the same vehicle and the same rate, with no need to rebook from scratch.
Yes, and on a haul this long many groups want one. A short restroom or snack stop arranged in advance is easy to fold in, and any longer pause is billed at $45 per 30 minutes. Let the driver know when you book so the departure carries enough of a buffer.
The day before your trip, you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle, and the license plate, along with where to walk out at the terminal. On the morning itself you can reach that driver directly on WhatsApp if plans shift. It means you step off the ship straight toward a car you can already identify.
Reserve your private transfer by messaging WhatsApp at https://wa.me/17866828748 or calling 786-682-8748. Share your ship name, arrival date, group size and drop-off address, and the vehicle and flat rate are confirmed, then held with the deposit. Book at least a day ahead for the easiest disembarkation-day pickup.
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.
Los dos coordinamos un traslado privado para después del crucero para no lidiar con el gentío del puerto rumbo a Gotha. Reservar fue simple, recibimos todo por escrito, y todo salió tal cual.
We came off the ship ready to get settled and a private car right from the terminal to Gotha was exactly right. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
Privado, puntual, y sin complicaciones — mucho más fácil que pelear por un transporte en el puerto. Había treinta minutos de margen desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para juntar las maletas.
Depois do cruzeiro, minha esposa e eu não queríamos arriscar um transporte no terminal, então combinamos um carro privativo até Gotha. Sem estacionamento para vasculhar — andamos do terminal até um carro que já estava lá. Já reservamos|p:Já separamos eles para o nosso próximo cruzeiro saindo do PortMiami.
Coming off the ship on my own, the last thing I wanted was to sort out transport at the port, so I had a private transfer booked ahead to take me to Gotha. For a no-hassle way to get from the port to Gotha, it was well worth it.
