From $110 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to your Olympia Heights door.
The fare is one flat, per-vehicle price fixed the moment you reserve — choose the size that matches your party and its cruise luggage.
Stepping off the ship and clearing the building are two different moments, and the sidewalk pickup lands well after the scheduled arrival hour. Your driver is already positioned curbside at the assigned Port of Miami terminal as you finish customs and gather your bags, so nobody hunts through a rideshare lot after a long sailing. Every suitcase, carry-on and stroller loads straight into the vehicle. Send the ship name and disembark date at booking, and the collection is set to your real off-the-ship time rather than a guess. A meet-and-greet comes with every reservation; if you would like the driver holding a personalized name sign at the curb, add that for a flat $20.
Olympia Heights is a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood in the western reaches of Miami-Dade County, set well back from the beaches and the downtown crowds. The streets run residential, threaded with everyday shopping plazas, casual restaurants and neighborhood parks — the ordinary, lived-in side of Miami that travelers visiting relatives or settling in for a longer stay come to see. Kendall and the wider west Miami-Dade suburbs sit close by, with Coral Gables and downtown a short drive off when you want a bigger day out. You can locate Olympia Heights on the map and drop a pin on your exact address, and that precise spot is where the drop-off lands.
From the terminal the route runs west of downtown Miami on the expressways and stays a single, uninterrupted journey to the address you give — no shared stops, no shuffle between cars. Cruise mornings put more traffic on the roads out of the port, especially when several ships clear customs in the same window, so an early departure can move slower than a midday one before the lanes thin out later in the day. Because the driver is tracking your ship’s real timing, the pickup flexes to the true disembarkation moment and the fastest sensible path is chosen for the conditions you actually meet. The ride ends door-to-door at your exact address, not a generic drop point.
Every tier here is private — reserved for your party alone, with room sized for a week of cruise bags.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle or a secure link sent over WhatsApp. A 50% deposit confirms your booking and locks the vehicle, and the remaining 50% goes to the driver on the day of the ride. The rate is charged per vehicle for the whole group, never per head, so a solo traveler and a family of five in the same SUV pay the identical fare. Pricing is quoted one-way; a round trip to and from the Port of Miami is simply double the one-way price for the same vehicle, booked as one reservation.
Daytime pickups run from 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. Outside that window the black SUV adds a flat $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward — $50 for points beyond — while the vans carry a 10% premium on trips outside daytime hours. A child seat is $15 each on Port of Miami pickups; tell the driver the number and ages of the children at booking so the right seats are fitted before you arrive. A prearranged extra stop along the way runs $45 per 30 minutes. Tolls and fuel are already inside the fare, so nothing about the roads themselves is added at the curb.
A late berth is the single biggest worry on a cruise transfer, and the pickup re-times at no extra cost when it happens. Your ship’s scheduled and actual arrival are both watched, so if customs drags or the vessel docks behind schedule, the driver holds and adjusts to your real off-the-ship moment without touching the flat fare. Keep the details flowing on WhatsApp if anything shifts, and the vehicle is in place when you walk out.
The listed price covers the entire vehicle, not each seat, so the whole group rides for the single flat fare shown above. A lone traveler pays what a full SUV of five would. A round trip simply doubles the one-way figure, which keeps larger parties especially good value.
Reserve at least 24 hours before your sailing to lock the vehicle and driver. Under-24-hour requests are still looked at by hand, though availability cannot be promised that late. Confirmation comes back over WhatsApp, and the night before your trip you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle, the plate and your pickup instructions.
The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and both the SUV and the vans hold typical cruise suitcases with room to spare. Traveling with oversized or extra bags? Message the details on WhatsApp ahead of time so the space can be confirmed or a larger van assigned before your ride.
Yes — small pets are welcome with advance notice, provided they travel inside a pet carrier. Mention it at booking so the driver expects the pet and the right vehicle is assigned. Bringing a small pet in its carrier does not change the flat fare.
Send the ship name, disembark date, passenger count and your Olympia Heights drop-off address, and your vehicle, driver and flat fare are confirmed straight back. Message on WhatsApp or call 786-682-8748 for larger groups, extra bags, child seats or a small pet. One message locks in a private ride whether you are heading off the ship or back to the Port of Miami.
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.
No pudo ser más simple — un conductor esperando, maletas cargadas, y un viaje cómodo hasta Olympia Heights. Bajando del barco por mi cuenta, me sentí muy a gusto desde la terminal hasta Olympia Heights.
A tiempo, profesional, y el conductor se sabía las salidas de memoria. El viaje a Olympia Heights fue tranquilo y parejo, con clima controlado, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero.
Traveling with our little ones, we arranged a private van to be waiting at the curb and take everyone to Olympia Heights. The meet-and-greet at the curb came with the booking, and we found the car with no trouble. No rideshare app to fight with — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
With kids in tow, pre-booking a private car from the port to Olympia Heights meant no stress the morning we disembarked. It was only our group in the car — no one else’s stops — which was exactly what we wanted. The meet-and-greet at the curb was included, and we found the car with no trouble.
So glad I pre-booked — clean car, great driver, zero stress at the terminal. The fare was locked in at booking, no surge because the port was slammed.
