From $180 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lazy Lake, flat rate locked at booking.
The number below is the whole-vehicle price for the private run between the port and the village. Reserve the vehicle and your full party travels for that one figure, unmoved by traffic or the hour you book.
Your driver watches the assigned cruise terminal and your ship’s real arrival, so a late berth simply moves the pickup to match — the fare holds and nothing extra is charged. As you clear the building with your cruise luggage, they are already curbside, ready to load the bags and pull away toward Lazy Lake. Disembarkation mornings often push several ships onto the pier inside the same window, so the meeting point is set where your group can gather and load without the crush. There is generous space for a week’s worth of cruise bags, which lets a large family climb aboard in one go instead of splitting across cars.
Lazy Lake ranks among the smallest incorporated municipalities in Florida — a tiny residential village sitting entirely within Wilton Manors, in Broward County just beyond Fort Lauderdale. Almost nothing commercial exists inside its lines; the place is a cluster of private homes along quiet, tree-shaded streets that ring the small lake it is named for. Lazy Lane works as the community’s single through road. The mood is calm and strictly residential, a still pocket set against the livelier Wilton Manors and Fort Lauderdale around it, so arriving after a cruise means being dropped at a private Lazy Lake address rather than a hotel strip. Wilton Manors carries a walkable stretch of restaurants and bars, and the wider Fort Lauderdale area brings beaches and waterways a short drive from your Lazy Lake stop.
From the terminal the private vehicle turns north out of Miami-Dade and follows the I-95 corridor into Broward County, finishing at your door with no detours to gather other riders. How long the leg takes hinges on when the ship is released and how the highway is moving that morning, so the departure is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock. Your driver stays reachable on WhatsApp and reads the traffic as it shifts. The trip is one-way by default — a single private hop from the pier to a village address — whether you are arriving for a stay or catching the reverse leg back to the ship for your next sailing.
A 50% deposit confirms the booking when you reserve, and the balance is handed to the driver on the day of the ride. The rate is charged per vehicle for the whole group, never per person. One-way is the standard booking; a round trip is the one-way doubled and locked as a single reservation, so one driver and one pickup time cover the outbound and the return. Message your details on WhatsApp and the payment option that suits you — Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link — comes back to you.
Meet and greet at the curb is included in the fare; a driver holding a name sign as you exit is a $40 add-on requested at booking. A child seat is $15 each and is fitted in advance once you share your children’s ages. Pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no surcharge, while a run outside that window adds $20 on the SUV — the village sits inside Broward County, where that flat night fee applies — or 10% over the trip value on a van. An extra stop arranged ahead of time is billed at $45 per 30 minutes.
Every booking is fully private. The SUV or van carries only your party, with no strangers aboard and no stops to collect other passengers. From the cruise terminal curb to your Lazy Lake doorstep, the vehicle belongs to your group for the whole run north.
The pickup re-times on its own at no extra charge. Your driver follows the ship’s scheduled and actual arrival, so a slow customs hall or a delayed berth just shifts the meeting time. You keep the same vehicle and the same rate, with no scramble to find a ride at the curb.
The black SUV seats up to five passengers, and the vans take six to nine or ten to fourteen — you reserve the whole vehicle either way. Each holds the luggage a cruise generates, so nobody rides with a suitcase on their lap. Share your headcount and bag count on WhatsApp and the right size is set aside for you.
Yes. Your driver is bilingual, handling English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which helps international cruise passengers sort out plans on the road. You can also message ahead in either language on WhatsApp to confirm the pickup details.
Lock in your private Port of Miami to Lazy Lake transfer before you sail. Send your ship name, sailing date, group size, and pickup time by WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748, and the vehicle, driver, and fare are confirmed for your day.
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 group of us came off the ship together and it was so easy to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Lazy Lake — everyone in one vehicle. Booking was quick, we got everything in writing, and everything went exactly as planned.
Bajamos del barco con los pequeños agotados del crucero, y una van privada ahí en la terminal hizo el viaje a Lazy Lake muy simple. El SUV estaba con espacio de sobra para todo el equipaje del crucero, un alivio con el calor de Miami. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — todo se acomodó solo en la terminal.
Private, on time, and we didn’t have to worry about anything stepping off the ship. The car was clean, cool, and comfortable, a relief in the Miami heat.
Private, on time, and I didn’t have to worry about anything stepping off the ship. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so I never had to rush to gather the bags.
Traveling with the whole family, we arranged a private van to be waiting at the curb and take everyone to Lazy Lake. For a stress-free way to get from the port to Lazy Lake, it was well worth it.
