From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Blackbird Caye Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The meet-and-greet there is included in the fare; a name-sign welcome is a $20 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Blackbird Caye Resort sits in the West Tamiami part of Miami, along the Miami–Fort Lauderdale corridor. It is the address your private transfer is built around: the chauffeur runs straight from the cruise terminal to the property with no other stops on the way. When you book with us, the vehicle is reserved for your party alone, so the whole group travels together from PortMiami to the resort entrance on a single flat fare that already covers fuel and standard tolls.
On arrival, the driver brings you to the entrance itself rather than dropping you at a nearby lot. Bags are handled for you from the moment they leave the vehicle, so you step out at Blackbird Caye Resort and the luggage follows. For the return leg, pickup happens at the lobby door at the hour you agree on, timed around your own schedule. A real person confirms the details in advance, in English or Spanish, so nothing about the plan is left to guessing.
Group size is never a problem at the door. An SUV carries up to five with a checked bag and a carry-on each; the six-to-nine van suits families and friends traveling together with room for their cruise luggage; the ten-to-fourteen van brings a full party and its bags in one vehicle. Whatever the count, the ride to Blackbird Caye Resort is yours exclusively, door to door, with a chauffeur who knows the terminals and the roads in between.
Book the ride before you dock, and disembarkation turns into the easy part. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you clear the arrivals hall, so the wait belongs to the driver, not to you. Terminal pickups are timed to disembarkation and come with thirty minutes of free waiting, which means a long customs line never costs you the ride. You are met curbside at your terminal, the bags are loaded at the port, and the run to Blackbird Caye Resort begins.
From there it is a single, direct leg along SR-836 and Florida’s Turnpike Thru Lanes, roughly forty-seven to sixty-nine minutes terminal to door depending on the hour and the traffic. There are no pooling stops and no detours added along the way. The luggage rides with you in the same vehicle from curb to entrance, and the chauffeur handles it at both ends.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
Como crucerista solo, dejé listo un traslado privado del puerto a Blackbird Caye Resort para la mañana del desembarque, y fue la mejor decisión del viaje.
Private, punctual, and we didn’t have to worry about anything between the ship and Blackbird Caye Resort. We got a clear confirmation, so there was no guessing at the port.
Los dos reservamos un traslado privado para la mañana del desembarque y así no tener que buscar transporte camino a Blackbird Caye Resort. El viaje de la terminal a Blackbird Caye Resort fue cómodo y sin apuros, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no hubo que adivinar en la acera al salir. Hizo el desembarque facilísimo.
My husband and I finished a wonderful cruise and followed it with a private car waiting right at the terminal to take us to Blackbird Caye Resort — not one worry at the terminal.
There were eight of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Blackbird Caye Resort was the smart move. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship.
