From $275 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to your Royal Palm Estates door.
Each figure below buys the whole vehicle rather than a single seat, and it holds firm from the moment the booking is set — no jump for a crowded morning and no bump for a slow crawl in traffic.
The pickup happens right at the curb outside the cruise terminal. As the group steps off the ship and gathers its bags, the assigned driver is already in place, ready to lift the luggage and lead everyone to the vehicle. Meet-and-greet comes standard, so there is no rideshare lot to hunt through. Want a printed name sign waiting at the exit? Add one when reserving; that option runs $40. A courtesy wait is folded in, so a slow walk off the ship with a cart of suitcases never turns into a scramble.
Reserving takes a minute over WhatsApp or the website. Pass along the ship name, the disembarkation date, the passenger count, and the drop-off address in Royal Palm Estates, and a confirmation returns with the vehicle and the total. Because Palm Beach County stitches together dozens of small municipalities and repeats the same street names across them, include the ZIP code and the nearest cross street — that pair pins the exact door before the car ever rolls out of the port. One private booking carries the entire run: no transfer point, no second leg, no strangers sharing the seats.
Royal Palm Estates is a settled residential pocket of single-family homes on wide, tree-shaded streets near West Palm Beach — a calm suburban corner rather than a tourist strip. It suits travelers heading to a family house, a vacation rental, or a reunion with relatives once the sailing wraps, and it sits within easy reach of everyday shops, restaurants, parks, and the broader South Florida coast. To read up on the community or its housing character, the Royal Palm Estates community page gives an overview and the area home listings show the local streetscape. Drop-off lands at the precise address provided, so no final stretch has to be sorted out with luggage in hand.
The route is a straightforward northbound highway run from the cruise terminal up toward Royal Palm Estates. With clear roads it keeps a steady pace, no detours and no handoffs along the way. On a busy disembarkation morning — especially when several ships empty at once — the stretch leaving the port and pushing north can bunch up, so the same trip takes longer than a quiet midday departure. The driver tracks the ship’s actual clearance and builds the departure around it instead of a fixed clock that no longer fits. Since the fare is flat, a slower stretch in traffic never nudges the total.
Match the vehicle to the headcount and the bags. The black SUV takes up to five riders with room behind the seats for cruise luggage. The six-to-nine van gives mid-size families and friend groups space to settle in beside their suitcases, and the ten-to-fourteen van handles large multi-generation parties stepping off the same ship together. Every tier is held for one party alone — no shared ride and no waiting on other passengers. Bringing oversized or extra pieces? A note on WhatsApp ahead of time confirms the space or bumps the reservation up to a bigger van before the day arrives.
The quoted price runs door to door with the usual road costs already inside it. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel all sit within the number, so nothing gets added mid-route. Every vehicle carries onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, useful for checking maps or messages after days at sea. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, riding in a carrier. Families with young children can add a child seat for $15, arranged when the booking is set. Need a quick pre-arranged stop en route? Extra stops run $45 per 30 minutes. Everything on this list folds into the per-vehicle price, with no surprise charges at the curb.
A 50% deposit locks the reservation up front, and the other half goes to the driver on the day of the trip. Payment moves through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent over WhatsApp or the website. Fares are quoted one-way per vehicle, so a return simply doubles the single figure — book both legs together and one driver with a confirmed time covers the outbound and the ride back to the port. Nothing beyond the agreed balance is collected at the curb.
Standard daytime service covers 7:00 AM through 9:00 PM at no added cost. Any pickup that starts outside that window carries a modest surcharge set by vehicle.
Nothing on your side shifts. The pickup is tied to the ship’s real clearance time, not a guessed hour, so a late arrival at the port only slides the pickup later — no delay fee and no re-booking. The car turns up whenever the group truly walks off the vessel.
Yes — a same-morning pickup is exactly what this route is built for. Book it at least twenty-four hours out to hold the car; a tighter request still gets a manual review, though a slot can’t be promised. Send the ship name and the date, and the pickup slots in right behind the terminal clearance.
Figure roughly a checked bag and a carry-on for each rider; there’s space for cruise luggage across all three vehicles, and the driver does the lifting at both ends. Hauling extra or oversized pieces? A quick WhatsApp note ahead of time confirms the room or moves the booking up to a larger van, so nothing is left behind at the curb.
The rate attaches to the vehicle, not to each person. The full party travels on the single flat fare shown above, whether two or five ride in the SUV. Filling the seats to capacity doesn’t lift the number, and a round journey is just the one-way figure doubled.
Yes. A child seat runs $15, and more than one can be arranged — just pass along how many children are riding and their ages on WhatsApp when reserving, so the correct seats are installed before the car pulls up.
Lock in the private, one-way ride from the Port of Miami to Royal Palm Estates before the sailing. Message WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with the ship name, disembarkation date, passenger count, and drop-off address, and the vehicle and total come back — along with the driver’s details the day before pickup.
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 two of us booked a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t hunt for a ride on the way to Royal Palm Estates. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal.
We cruised with a group of friends and wanted all of us and the bags in one private ride to Royal Palm Estates after disembarking. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was ours when we walked out. It was only us in the car — no side pickups — which was a relief after a week aboard.
Just as easy as it sounded — met at the curb, luggage handled, and an easy ride out to Royal Palm Estates. It was only our group in the car — no side pickups — which was exactly what we wanted.
Nuestra familia de cinco bajó del barco en PortMiami y el conductor tenía espacio para cada valija para el viaje a Royal Palm Estates. Para llegar del puerto a Royal Palm Estates sin estrés, fue dinero bien gastado.
A great start to being home — private, on time, and easy. Booking was easy, we got everything in writing, and everything lined up perfectly.
