From $575 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sharpes on Florida’s Space Coast.
Every fare below is the flat total for the whole vehicle, set the moment you reserve and unchanged by traffic or by how the disembarkation morning runs. Pick the tier that matches your group size:
As your group comes off the ship and clears the PortMiami terminal, the driver is already waiting at the curb. The ship’s arrival is tracked before pickup, so an early or delayed disembarkation shifts the meeting time rather than costing you the ride. A 30-minute courtesy wait runs from the pickup time you agreed, covering the stretch while your party gets through customs and collects its bags. Ask for a name sign in advance and the driver will hold it up, which makes the meet-up straightforward in a busy crowd on a full disembarkation morning. From the curb it is a quick load of the luggage and a direct start north — no shared vans, no other riders, no second stop before Sharpes.
Sharpes is a small, quiet residential community in Brevard County, set along the Indian River side of Florida’s Space Coast well north of Miami. It has a low-key, waterfront feel rather than the bustle of a tourist strip, and cruise passengers headed here are usually visiting family, resting before or after a sailing, or using it as a calm base near the wider Cocoa and Cape Canaveral area. That surrounding region is where the Space Coast beaches, riverside parks, and the well-known space-industry attractions draw most visitors. Whatever brings your group north, the driver delivers you straight to the Sharpes address you provide.
The route runs north up I-95 toward Florida’s Space Coast, so the trip to Sharpes is a regional intercity haul rather than a quick crosstown hop, and the exact time on the road shifts with the day and the traffic. Disembarkation mornings are the busiest window: when several ships clear PortMiami at once, the streets around the terminals and the highway on-ramps back up, so an early, pre-booked pickup keeps your party ahead of the crowd. Once the car is on the interstate heading north, the pace settles into steady highway cruising. Whatever the traffic does, the flat rate never moves — the price is locked at booking, not metered by the mile. If a flight or a set check-in time waits at the far end, mention it when booking so the pickup is built around it.
A rocket launch on the Space Coast draws thousands of spectators onto Brevard County’s roads and keeps them there through the launch window and the drive home afterward. A scrubbed attempt usually slips to the next day, and the crowds move with it. Check the launch schedule for the day you arrive and pass it along when you book, so the final stretch into Sharpes is timed around the event instead of caught in it.
Reserve at least 24 hours ahead over WhatsApp with your ship name, disembark date, group size, and the Sharpes address. A 50% deposit confirms the booking and holds the vehicle, and the remaining balance is paid to the driver on the day of the journey. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is part of the flat fare, not an add-on. Pricing is one-way and charged per vehicle, so a round trip that brings you back to PortMiami later costs twice the one-way fare.
A few optional details are arranged when you book. Request a name sign for the terminal and it adds $20 to the fare. A child seat is $15 on Port of Miami pickups, confirmed at booking so it is fitted before you arrive. If the run north needs a short detour or an errand along the way, extra stops are $45 per 30 minutes, arranged in advance rather than sprung on the driver mid-route.
Pickups inside the daytime window of 7 AM to 9 PM carry no surcharge. For a Black SUV scheduled outside those hours, a night fee of $20 applies within Miami-Dade and Broward, rising to $50 for pickups beyond that area. Nothing else about the booking changes — the same flat per-vehicle rate and the same reserved vehicle still apply.
Pricing is by the vehicle, never by the head, so the fare shown above covers the entire group whether that fills the Black SUV or one of the vans. A round trip works out to double the one-way figure, and since the cost sits with the car rather than each seat, a fuller vehicle simply divides the same fare among more people.
A late arrival makes no difference to the price or the plan. The ship’s scheduled and actual docking time is monitored, so if customs and disembarkation run long the pickup simply shifts later and the driver waits. You keep the same vehicle and the same flat fare, with no scramble for a replacement ride at the curb.
Plan on one checked bag and one carry-on for each passenger, with real trunk space for cruise luggage in both the SUV and the vans. If your party is carrying oversized or extra pieces, send a note on WhatsApp before travel day so the room can be checked or the booking moved up to a larger van.
Six to nine travelers take the mid-size private van, and parties of ten to fourteen ride the largest one. Either way the whole group stays together in one reserved vehicle instead of being split between cars, arriving in Sharpes on the same run from the port.
To lock a private transfer from Port of Miami to Sharpes, message WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your ship name, disembark date, group size, and Sharpes address. Once the vehicle and flat rate are confirmed and the 50% deposit is placed, the driver’s name and details arrive the day before you travel.
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.
Viajando por mi cuenta tras el crucero, no quería estrés en el puerto, así que un auto privado hasta Sharpes me hizo la mañana fácil. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — bajar del barco y subir a un auto que esperaba, sin estrés. Ya los guardé para mi próximo crucero desde PortMiami.
For an easy disembarkation, my partner and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us to Sharpes.
There were nine of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Sharpes was far simpler than splitting into cars.
Con los niños, reservar un auto privado de la terminal a Sharpes significó nada de correr la mañana del desembarque. En el auto íbamos solo nosotros — sin nadie más a quien esperar — un alivio tras una semana a bordo. El viaje a Sharpes fue cómodo y sin apuros, con clima controlado, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
Nosso grupo reservou uma van direto do porto até Sharpes, e deu tudo certo.
