From $575 per vehicle, a private one-way ride between Port of Miami and Port St. John, Florida.
Each price below is the full cost of the vehicle, fixed the moment you reserve and unchanged by demand, traffic, or how many riders come aboard.
Port St. John trips on this lane begin at the PortMiami cruise terminals. Once your vessel clears and your bags are in hand, the driver is already positioned at the curb outside the terminal exit, scanning the doors for your group. There is no rideshare lot to hunt through and no line to join — you step off the ship, grab your bags, and get straight into a car held for your party. Send the ship name and your disembarkation date when you book, and the pickup is timed to when you actually clear the terminal rather than a guess. Curbside meet-and-greet is part of every booking; a driver holding a printed name sign is available for an added $40 when you ask ahead.
Port St. John sits along the water as a calm, residential community — a place shaped by marinas, quiet streets, and small local restaurants rather than crowds or high-rise blocks. Most cruise passengers on this route are headed to a private home, a vacation rental, a business address, or a family gathering, and the driver delivers you to the exact door you name. Around town you will find riverfront and marina views, casual places to eat, small parks, and open water that draws boaters and anglers — an unhurried change of pace after days at sea. Port St. John even shares its name with the St. John knitwear label, an understated nod some travelers recognize.
The journey runs as one continuous highway drive, with no transfers, no connections, and no stops for anyone outside your booking. Because it is a single private run, the main variable is how the roads around the cruise terminals are moving on your disembarkation morning. When several ships empty at once, the first stretch out of the port can crawl; a midday or off-peak departure clears out and rolls faster. Rather than promise a fixed arrival clock, the driver reads the day’s conditions, plans the pickup around your ship’s real disembarkation window, and holds to the most direct route open. If a flight, a check-in, or a dinner is waiting at the far end, mention it when you book so the timing is built around it.
A 50% deposit locks the booking, and the other half goes straight to the driver on the day of the ride — no full prepayment for a pickup that starts on the Miami side. Every fare is priced one way and per vehicle, so the whole group travels on the single rate shown above, never a per-person charge. Want the return leg as well? The return trip is billed as the one-way fare doubled, reserved as two legs under one booking so a single driver and a confirmed time cover both directions. You book over WhatsApp or the website, and a real person confirms the vehicle, the pickup time, and the fare before your travel day.
A few requests sit outside the flat fare and are always confirmed up front, never sprung on you at the curb. A printed name sign at the terminal adds $40. A child seat is $15 on Port of Miami pickups — give the child’s age when you reserve so the right seat is fitted and waiting. If your plans call for a quick detour or a wait along the way, extra stops run $45 per 30 minutes and are arranged in advance. Anything past the standard door-to-door run is priced and agreed beforehand, so the number you see is the number you pay.
Standard daytime service runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. A pickup set outside that window carries a small night fee on the SUV: $20 when the ride stays inside Miami-Dade or Broward, and $50 once it reaches beyond those counties. Since a Port St. John run heads well north of the Miami area, plan on the higher figure for a late-night or very early start, and fold it into your pickup time. Whatever the hour, the vehicle stays reserved for your group alone.
The pickup moves with your ship at no added cost. Your vessel’s arrival and disembarkation timing is tracked, so a late berthing or a slow customs line simply shifts the driver’s schedule to match — the rate holds and the vehicle stays yours. You come off the ship to a car that is already waiting.
Yes — a disembarkation-morning pickup is the most common request on this route. Book at least a day ahead, share your ship and date, and the driver lines the pickup up with the moment you clear the terminal. Even when several ships unload together, your reserved vehicle is in position and the price does not move.
No. Each booking is fully private, with the SUV or van reserved for your party alone. No other travelers share the ride, and there are no detours to collect extra passengers — from the terminal curb to your Port St. John doorstep, only your group rides.
You pay per vehicle rather than per person, so two travelers or a full van ride on the same rate shown above. Adding the return leg simply doubles the price. Since nothing is billed by the head, a fuller vehicle means a better value for each traveler.
Yes. Beyond Port St. John, the same private SUVs and vans also run to Miami International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood airports and other cities across the region, each as a one-way or round trip from the cruise port. Share both ends and your dates over WhatsApp, and we set the vehicle, driver, and pickup time for each leg.
Lock in your Port St. John transfer now. Send the ship name, disembarkation date, group size, and drop-off address by WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748, and we confirm the vehicle, pickup time, and fare — then share the driver’s details the day before you sail in. Book at least a day ahead to hold a vehicle for your disembarkation.
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.
After our sailing, my wife and I weren’t going to gamble on a ride at the terminal, so we pre-booked a private car to Port St. John. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
Fuimos de crucero en grupo y queríamos a todos y las maletas en un solo viaje privado a Port St. John tras desembarcar. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — bajar del barco y subir a un auto que esperaba, sin estrés. Lo último que quieres tras un crucero es un viaje que falle, y este fue justo cuando lo necesitamos. Muy recomendable.
Los dos coordinamos un traslado privado para después del crucero para no preocuparnos por los tiempos rumbo a Port St. John. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no había nada que resolver al salir.
Our family of four came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver helped with the whole pile of luggage for the ride to Port St. John. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — getting off the ship and into a waiting car with zero stress.
We got off the ship with the kids worn out after the cruise, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Port St. John so easy. We got a clear confirmation, so there was no guessing at the port. The SUV was fresh and comfortable, a relief in the Miami heat.
