From $380 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Pelican Marsh, door to door with your own driver.
Each rate here is flat and covers the whole vehicle for your group, set when you reserve, with tolls and fuel included and no surge.
Cruise mornings at PortMiami move in waves, and your driver plans around them. Once your ship docks and you clear customs, walk out to the terminal curb, where the driver is already in position — name sign in hand if you asked for one at booking. That curbside greeting is part of the ride at no charge; a printed name sign is a $20 add-on you request in advance. Because arrival times slide when several ships empty together, the driver follows your vessel’s disembark schedule and holds the pickup until your group actually steps outside. Send a WhatsApp message as you come off the gangway and the vehicle rolls to the curb.
Set on Florida’s Gulf Coast in the North Naples area, Pelican Marsh is a gated neighborhood organized around golf and quiet residential streets — a green change of pace from the port behind you. Golf sets the tone: a championship layout, walking trails, and a clubhouse scene laid out among the lakes and palm-lined roads of this upscale stretch of Naples. Most cruise passengers heading here are visiting family, booking a round, or using Pelican Marsh as a calm base near the Gulf beaches, boutique shops, and the strong North Naples dining scene. You can read more through the Pelican Marsh community overview and about the links at the Pelican Marsh Golf Club.
The trip runs the width of the peninsula, leaving the Atlantic side at the port and finishing on the Gulf Coast near Naples. It is a longer haul than a quick hotel hop, so treat it as an unhurried journey rather than a dash. Disembarkation mornings near the terminals can crawl when several ships clear at once, so the opening stretch may feel slow before the highway loosens up. Your driver reads traffic as it happens and confirms the exact pickup time with you the day before, texted alongside the vehicle and plate. Because the drive is on the long side, the group can ask for a brief pause partway — a restroom break or a bite — as long as it is flagged in advance.
A fifty percent deposit locks the reservation, and the balance goes straight to your driver on trip day. Pricing is one-way and per vehicle — the whole group rides for the single rate above, and a round trip is just that one-way figure doubled, booked as both legs at once. Send the ship, your disembark date, how many are traveling, and the drop-off address on WhatsApp, and the vehicle and flat rate come back confirmed. The driver’s name, vehicle, and plate reach you by text the day before you sail.
Daytime service runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with nothing added. A pickup starting outside that window carries a small night fee on the SUV — $20 for trips inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 for those reaching beyond the two counties. A child seat is $15 on a Port of Miami booking; share your children’s ages when you reserve so the right seats are fitted before the driver arrives. Want an unplanned stop along the way? Added stops run $45 per thirty minutes, arranged ahead so the driver can build in the time. Gratuity is optional and always welcome, never required.
What you are quoted at booking is what you pay. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel already sit inside the fare, and the terminal greeting adds nothing more. The whole vehicle belongs to your party alone — never shared, never re-routed for strangers — so the ride follows your schedule from the curb to your Pelican Marsh door. Your driver loads and unloads the cruise luggage; the SUV takes a small family’s bags, while the two vans add room for larger groups and the extra gear a week at sea tends to pile up. A bilingual driver, comfortable in English plus Spanish or Portuguese, keeps arrival simple for international families.
It is per vehicle, never per head. The rate shown covers the entire group in one car, whether two people ride or a full van of fourteen. A round trip doubles the one-way figure, with no per-seat charge and no shift for traffic or the hour of day.
The pickup re-times on its own at no cost. Your driver follows the vessel’s real arrival and disembark timing, so a delayed dock never loses you the ride or triggers a new fee. Step out once you clear customs and the vehicle is waiting.
Yes — disembarkation day is the busiest pickup on this route. Reserve at least a day ahead so the car and driver are locked in; tighter timing is handled case by case, though a slot cannot be promised. Give us the ship and the date, and the pickup is built around your terminal window.
Reserve as soon as your sail dates are firm, and at minimum a full day before you disembark. Booking early makes it easier to match your exact terminal timing and to fit any child seats. Later requests are looked at one by one when the calendar allows.
Plan on one checked bag and a carry-on per passenger, with genuine space for what rolls off the ship. The Black SUV handles a small family’s suitcases, while the two vans add cargo room for bigger parties. Traveling with oversized or extra bags? Flag it on WhatsApp when you book so the right vehicle is sent.
Lock your private transfer between Port of Miami and Pelican Marsh before your sail date fills up. Message the details — ship, disembark date, group size, and drop-off address — and the vehicle, flat rate, and driver information come back confirmed. Reach the team on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748.
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.
Bajamos del barco tras una semana buenísima y un auto privado directo del puerto a Pelican Marsh fue justo lo indicado. Reservar fue fácil, recibimos una confirmación sólida, y todo salió tal cual.
Our family of five came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver had room for every suitcase for the ride to Pelican Marsh. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship.
Our family of five came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded all the cruise bags for the ride to Pelican Marsh.
My husband and I stepped off the ship at PortMiami and had a private car ready at the curb to take us to Pelican Marsh. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to juggle it all.
We got off the ship with the kids ready to be home, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Pelican Marsh painless. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags.
