From $100 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Miami Beach — your whole group and its cruise bags in one car.
Each fare is the flat total for the whole vehicle, set the moment you book and never moved by traffic or the hour of day. One price carries your entire party to any address on the island.
Once your ship clears and the gangway opens, your driver is already at the curb of your assigned PortMiami terminal, watching the disembarkation timing so the car sits ready as your group walks out with its bags. Drop the ship name and terminal into a WhatsApp message at booking, and the driver tracks the arrival and lifts the cruise luggage straight off the sidewalk. A name sign can be waiting at the door when you ask for one.
From the port the trip is short — about 5.9 miles, or close to 22 minutes door to door. The MacArthur Causeway carries the car straight over Biscayne Bay and onto the island, with no shared van and no swing to collect another party. Because the crossing is so direct, a calm morning and a busy one land near the same figure, and the flat fare holds whether the road is open or crawling.
Miami Beach is a barrier island strung along the Atlantic, known for its pastel Art Deco blocks and a street life that runs late. South Beach pulls most visitors toward Ocean Drive and the Lincoln Road walking mall, while North Beach and the Mid-Beach district stay quieter and more residential. Cafés, boutiques, and oceanfront tables sit close together, so an arriving group can reach the sand minutes after the drop and a departing one can fit in a last meal by the water. For a sense of what the island has open, the official Miami Beach visitor guide lists the neighborhoods.
Hotels here face the avenue, not the sand, so your driver pulls up on Collins or a side street rather than at the shoreline. Pass along the hotel’s name together with its street number, because the numbered cross streets repeat on two parallel avenues, and a hotel with a near-identical name can sit a dozen blocks off. Many of the older buildings predate the age of hotel driveways, so the car waits at the curb — have everyone and the luggage ready out front at the set time and the loading stays quick.
A private ride is held with a 50% deposit when you book, and the remaining half is paid to the driver on travel day. Pricing is one-way and per vehicle, so a round trip back to the port is just the one-way fare doubled, arranged as two legs on a single reservation. Extra stops can be added along the route for $45 per 30 minutes, and any special request is confirmed over WhatsApp before the trip. Booking at least 24 hours ahead lets the driver lock the vehicle and the pickup time to your sailing.
Daytime service runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with nothing added to the flat fare. A pickup outside that window carries a modest after-hours add-on — $20 on the Black SUV, since Miami Beach sits inside Miami-Dade, and 10% of the fare on the vans. A child seat is $15 when arranged at booking, and a name sign held at the terminal is $20. Meet-and-greet, tolls, and fuel are already inside the price, so nothing extra is settled at the curb.
The number you see covers the whole vehicle, not each seat. Five travelers in the Black SUV share the same $100, and the vans hold larger parties for one flat figure. A round trip is that one-way rate doubled.
Reserving at least 24 hours before your sailing is the surest way to hold the exact vehicle and pickup slot. Disembarkation morning is the busiest window, so an earlier booking helps the driver match your terminal and debark time. Same-day requests can still be checked over WhatsApp when a car is free.
Nothing changes on your side. The driver keeps watch on the ship’s arrival and adjusts the pickup, at no charge, if disembarkation runs long. The flat fare stays exactly as booked, so a slow morning at the terminal never lifts the price.
Yes. A party of six to nine takes the mid-size van, and ten to fourteen ride the larger one, so a single group stays in a single vehicle instead of splitting across cars. There is room for cruise luggage in every tier. Give the head count on WhatsApp and the driver sets the right size.
Match the size to your headcount and bags. The Black SUV takes up to five travelers with luggage; the vans cover the larger parties. Every traveler gets one checked bag and a carry-on, and there is still room for bulky cruise cases. If you are carrying oversized items, message the details in advance so the driver can confirm the space or move you to a bigger van.
To lock a private transfer from Port of Miami to Miami Beach, message WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share your ship, terminal, sailing date, party size, and drop-off address, and the driver confirms the pickup time and the flat fare for your group.
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.
My wife and I wanted a clean handoff at PortMiami, so we booked a private ride to Miami Beach. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs. Booking was simple, we got clear pickup details, and everything went exactly as planned.
Traveling with our little ones, we arranged a private van to be waiting at the curb and take everyone to Miami Beach. It was only us in the car — no side pickups — which was exactly what we wanted. No line to stand in — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
No rideshare hassle — we walked off the ship and a clean, private car was right there. Highly recommend. We had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was no guessing at the port.
No íbamos a hacer malabares con niños y maletas buscando transporte en el puerto, así que coordinamos una van privada a Miami Beach. La noche anterior recibimos un texto con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no había duda de cuál auto era el nuestro al salir. Había treinta minutos de margen desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para bajar del barco.
Privado, a tiempo, y no tuvimos que preocuparme por nada al bajar del barco.
