From $670 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to South Apopka, door to door in an SUV or van.
Each fare below is the total for the whole vehicle heading to South Apopka, set when you book and held steady whatever the road or the season does. Choose the tier that suits your group.
Cruise lines empty the staterooms early on the final day, and passengers linger in the lounges until their group is called down the gangway. Because of that, the pickup is set against the ship’s clearance time rather than a fixed hour on the clock. Your driver follows the vessel’s real arrival, so a slow customs hall or a late berth simply shifts the pickup with it — the rate holds and nobody is left standing at the curb. Add your ship name and sailing date on WhatsApp when you book, and the driver plans the morning around your terminal.
Your driver meets the party curbside on the arrivals side of the cruise terminal, just as you clear customs and roll your bags out of the building. Meet and greet is part of every booking. Ask for a name-sign pickup and the driver holds a printed sign where the crowd thins for a $40 add-on, so you spot each other fast. Once the group is out, the driver loads every suitcase and carry-on, and the vehicle pulls away for the run north with no shared stops.
This is a long-haul run that leaves the Miami coast and climbs steadily into Central Florida before reaching South Apopka. Most of it is open highway once the port district falls behind, so the pace depends mostly on when the vehicle rolls out. A quieter daytime departure clears the metro quickly; a mid-afternoon start, when several ships let their passengers off together, can slow the crawl away from the terminals before the road opens. Since the trip covers real ground, a brief rest stop for the restroom or a snack can be worked into the drive.
South Apopka sits on the northern edge of the greater Orlando area, a long-established residential community that lies within and beside the City of Apopka, out in the Central Florida interior. It feels like settled, everyday Florida rather than a tourist strip — older neighborhoods, local churches, and small businesses, with the wider Orlando region and its theme parks, spring-fed lakes, and nature preserves an easy drive away. For a cruise family heading inland, South Apopka makes a quiet place to land after a week aboard. The area’s municipal details sit on the City of Apopka official website.
A fifty percent deposit confirms your booking, and the balance is handed to the driver on the day of the journey. Pay by Zelle, Venmo, or a secure payment link over WhatsApp. Pricing is one-way and per vehicle, so the whole group rides for the single rate shown above rather than a charge per person. A return journey is priced at twice the one-way vehicle rate, reserved as two legs in one booking so a single driver holds both your arrival and your ride back to the port. Every figure is fixed at booking, and the total never shifts with traffic or the season.
The flat rate takes in tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel, so nothing extra piles up on the highway. A bilingual driver — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — handles the whole run and loads every bag personally, while onboard WiFi over a mobile hotspot keeps the group connected on the drive north. Meet and greet is part of the booking. On this Port of Miami route the first child seat is $15, confirmed when you book, and any additional seat is added the same way. If you need an extra stop along the route, added waiting or detours are billed at $45 per thirty minutes. Food, drinks, driver gratuity, and parking fall outside the fare.
Pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no surcharge. Outside that window, an SUV adds a night fee of $20 for pickups inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 for pickups beyond those counties. A daytime disembarkation slot at the terminal usually sits well inside the no-fee window.
Yes. The SUV or van is reserved for your group alone — no pooling and no strangers sharing the vehicle. The rate is quoted one-way per vehicle from the cruise port to your inland address, and if you want the return the same car can be booked for the trip back to PortMiami.
Book at least a full day ahead so the vehicle and driver can be confirmed for your sailing. Same-day requests are still reviewed by hand, though availability is not promised. Once set, a booked pickup can move to a new time with a day’s notice, subject to what is open.
Nothing changes and there is no penalty. The driver follows your ship’s real docking and disembarkation, then re-times the pickup at no cost when the vessel comes in late. You keep the same vehicle and the same flat rate.
Each passenger travels with a checked bag plus a carry-on, and there is comfortable room for cruise luggage in every vehicle. Carrying oversized or extra bags? Send a WhatsApp note before the day so the space is confirmed, or move the group up to a larger van.
Yes, with notice. A short comfort stop can be arranged, and any added waiting or detour beyond the direct route is billed at $45 per thirty minutes. Mention it when you book so the driver can build it into the schedule.
Lock in your private Port of Miami to South Apopka transfer by WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748. Send your ship, sailing date, party size, and the South Apopka address, and your driver, vehicle, and flat fare are confirmed the day before, with the plate and driver name sent by text.
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 arranged a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t worry about the timing on the way to South Apopka. We’ve already booked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami. The van was clean, cool, and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
My husband and I wanted a clean handoff at PortMiami, so we booked a private ride to South Apopka. The car was fresh and comfortable, and there was space for everything.
