From $210 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Highland Beach — flat rate, cruise-terminal meet & greet, door to door.
Each fare below is the whole-vehicle rate for your group to any Highland Beach address, fixed when you book and left untouched by traffic or the hour of day.
Anyone returning from a foreign port clears a federal inspection hall inside the building before stepping into daylight, and no driver is allowed into that secured zone. Send a quick WhatsApp once you have cleared the hall and are outside with your luggage, and your driver — already staged curbside at the assigned PortMiami cruise terminal — comes to meet you. Ask for a name sign when you book and the driver holds one for $20 so you find each other in the disembarkation crowd. Meet and greet is included on every booking, and the vehicle holds a full week of cruise bags with ease.
Highland Beach is a low-key barrier-island town in Palm Beach County, set on the Atlantic shoreline just above Boca Raton and below Delray Beach. It leans residential rather than resort: low-rise oceanfront condominiums, private beach access, and an unhurried, salt-air rhythm that fits travelers slowing down at the end of a sailing. There are no theme-park queues here — the draw is the shoreline itself, the walkable side streets, and the shops, marinas and dining of the neighboring coastal towns a short ride away. For local details, the Town of Highland Beach official website lays out the basics.
This is a longer coastal haul rather than a short local hop — the vehicle heads north from PortMiami up Florida’s Atlantic side toward Highland Beach. No stopwatch figure is quoted for the route, since the real duration turns on when your ship releases passengers, how thick the disembarkation crowd runs, and the hour you set off. What holds steady is the plan: the driver follows your ship’s schedule and builds in a cushion so the car is ready when you actually reach the curb. On a run this long, a single short rest stop can be arranged if you ask ahead, billed at $45 per extra 30 minutes. You ride door to door to your drop-off, with no shared passengers and no side detours.
The price is charged per vehicle for the whole group, never per head, so the rate above covers everyone aboard whether you ride the SUV or a van. A 50% deposit locks the booking when you reserve, and the balance goes straight to the driver on the day of the ride. Payment goes through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link we text over WhatsApp or send on the website. Booking both directions just doubles the one-way fare, and the same vehicle carries you back to Port of Miami for a connecting flight or your next sailing — reserve both legs together so one driver and one confirmed time cover the plan.
Daytime hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM with nothing added. Any ride booked outside that window adds a small after-hours amount that depends on the vehicle:
The fare covers the full private transfer, not just a seat. Tolls, SunPass and fuel are folded into the price, so nothing is tacked on along the way, and a bilingual driver — English and either Spanish or Portuguese — meets your group at the curb. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot. A child seat is the first thing beyond the ride itself, added at $15 each on Port of Miami pickups — tell us the ages and how many you need at booking so they are fitted before you reach the car. A name sign is $20 if you want the driver holding one, and an added stop is $45 per 30 minutes. Small pets are welcome in a carrier with advance notice on WhatsApp.
Yes — the vehicle carries only your party, with no pooling and no stops to gather strangers. From the terminal curb to the door, that SUV or van stays reserved for your group the entire way up the coast. It is also the answer when someone searches for a “shuttle”: one flat per-vehicle price for a private van, never a per-seat fare.
Morning-of-disembarkation pickups are the most common booking here. Reserve at least a day out and share your ship plus the date you step off, and the driver plans to line the vehicle up with your terminal release. The sailing’s timetable is watched throughout, so the car is in position as you come out — even if the walk-off is running late.
Every vehicle is picked with cargo room for cruise bags — the SUV suits up to five travelers with their luggage, and the vans take bigger group loads. Carrying oversized or extra pieces? Message us on WhatsApp before the day and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van. The driver helps load and unload at both ends.
A good share of Highland Beach lives behind gates — oceanfront condo buildings and small private enclaves where a security desk or a call box screens who comes in. Have your host leave the passenger name at the front desk, and hand over the building name and any entry code as you book. That single step decides whether the driver rolls straight up to the door or waits outside while you sort out access with cruise bags in hand.
Lock in your private Highland Beach transfer before you sail. Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your sailing, the debark date, your party size, and the drop-off address; once we have those we lock in the vehicle, the flat fare, and the 50% deposit. Book early and it is far simpler to line the car up with your exact walk-off morning.
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.
For a stress-free disembarkation, my wife and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us to Highland Beach. The driver handled the suitcases so we didn’t have to struggle with anything. An easy, relaxed handoff for the two of us from the ship to Highland Beach.
Mi esposo y yo queríamos un traspaso limpio en PortMiami, así que coordinamos un viaje privado a Highland Beach. El conductor metió toda la pila de equipaje para que no tuviéramos que batallar con todo. En el auto íbamos solo nosotros — sin recogidas de otros — justo lo que queríamos. Hizo el desembarque facilísimo.
Everything ran on time from the terminal curb to Highland Beach — couldn’t ask for more. The van was fresh and comfortable, a relief in the Miami heat.
El grupo entero bajamos del barco juntos y fue muy fácil tener una van privada esperando en la terminal para el viaje a Highland Beach — todos en un solo vehículo.
After our sailing, my husband and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we arranged a private car to Highland Beach. The fare was locked in at booking, nothing added at the curb.
