From $410 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami to Alva, met at the cruise terminal and driven to your door.
The price below covers the whole vehicle, not a seat, and it holds from the moment you book — cruise-day demand and terminal traffic never move it. Pick the size that matches your party and the luggage coming off the ship.
Once your ship ties up and you clear the gangway, your driver is already waiting at the cruise-terminal curb, with meet-and-greet included at no extra charge. There is no app to open and no shared van to hunt down — you step out with your bags and the reserved vehicle is right there. When several ships empty at the same terminal on one morning the curb gets crowded, so a name sign held at the exit makes the handoff fast; that sign is a $20 add-on you request when you book. Your driver loads the cruise luggage and you pull away for the one-way run to Alva without queuing for a rideshare.
Reserving is a short exchange over WhatsApp or the website: send your ship name, arrival date, party size, and the Alva drop-off address, and the vehicle and pickup point come back confirmed. Because the lanes there can be tight, write the address exactly as your host gives it to you — more on that below. The day before you sail in, you receive the driver’s name and plate, so you know precisely who to look for at the terminal. Booking a day or more ahead locks the vehicle for your date.
Every option is private and held for your party alone, never pooled with strangers. Choose by headcount and by how much cruise luggage is coming off the ship with you.
If your group sits right on the boundary between two sizes, message before the day so the larger vehicle is assigned and nothing is left standing on the curb.
Alva sits well away from the noise of the cruise district, so as your driver clears the port the surroundings turn quiet and residential. Arriving cruise passengers reach a low-key community — small shops, everyday places to eat, and calm neighborhood streets rather than a tourist strip — the sort of place that suits travelers who want a settled base once the ship is behind them. Because the ride is door-to-door, there is no working out the last stretch with suitcases in hand; the driver brings you to the exact address you gave. Send your exact drop-off spot at booking so the arrival is planned around it.
This is an old river town where the approach roads run narrow beneath big oaks, leaving little space for a full-size van to swing around if it overshoots a driveway. Out here a single property can go by two different names, with just one of them showing on a mapping app, so pass along the version your host actually uses, including any local road name that the postal address leaves out. The flat fare holds no matter how the traffic behaves, so rather than metering the minutes, the driver shapes the route around when your ship actually clears and adjusts on the day.
The terminal meet-and-greet and the door-to-door drive are part of the private fare, and your driver handles loading and unloading at both ends. A name sign at the cruise terminal is $20 when you’d like your party name held up at the exit. A child seat on this Port of Miami route is $15, added at booking so it is fitted before pickup. If you need an added stop along the way, extra waiting or detour time runs $45 for each 30 minutes. Every rate is a one-way price for the direction you book; a round trip is simply that fare applied each way.
You confirm the booking with a 50% deposit and hand the remaining half to your driver on the day of the journey — the fare is billed per vehicle for the entire party, not per head. Daytime pickups run from 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. Outside that window a night fee applies to the SUV: $20 when the trip stays inside Miami-Dade or Broward, and $50 when it runs past those counties. Ask on WhatsApp and the exact figure is confirmed with your quote before you commit.
Per vehicle. Whether two of you ride or a full van of fourteen, the whole group travels for the one flat price listed above. No one pays a separate seat fare, and a round trip is just that one-way rate applied in each direction.
Your driver follows your ship’s real arrival, so docking behind schedule is no trouble and you never re-book. The pickup simply shifts to the moment you clear the terminal, at no added cost. The included waiting time counts from that revised pickup, so nobody is hurried off the ship.
Yes. Book both legs together and the return run from Alva back to the Port of Miami is priced as the same one-way fare in that direction. Reserving the return at the same time gives you one confirmed pickup window for your departure day.
A child seat on this Port of Miami route is $15 and is fitted before pickup when you note it at booking. Small animals can ride along when you flag it on WhatsApp beforehand and bring a proper carrier. Mention either need as you reserve so the right vehicle and setup are ready on arrival day.
Booking at least a day before your ship docks secures the vehicle and your pickup time for the run to Alva. Last-minute requests are still reviewed by hand, though availability is tighter the closer you get to your sail date. Sending your ship name and drop-off address early keeps the confirmation quick.
Lock in your private one-way transfer between the Port of Miami and Alva before you sail. Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your ship name, cruise date, party size, and drop-off address, and we’ll confirm your vehicle, pickup point, and flat fare — then send the driver’s details the day before.
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.
With the whole crew, arranging a private car from the port to Alva meant no stress the morning we disembarked. The kids napped the whole way, and getting straight to Alva without a scramble at the port was exactly what we needed.
We got off the ship with the little ones ready to be home, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Alva so easy. The kids crashed in the car after the cruise, and getting straight to Alva without a scramble at the port was exactly what we needed.
We got off the ship with the little ones and a mountain of luggage, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Alva painless. The van was spotless, and there was space for everything. The fare was the number we were quoted, no surge because the port was slammed.
Smooth transfer, fixed fare, zero hassle out to Alva. Recommend it without hesitation.
Our group of friends booked one van straight from the terminal to Alva, and nobody had to think about a thing. We’ve already saved them for our next cruise out of PortMiami. The fare was the number we were quoted, no surge because the port was slammed. Would book again for the next cruise.
