From $465 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Del Prado Inn-East Richard in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included; a name-sign welcome is available for an extra $20. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Del Prado Inn-East Richard sits in Cape Coral, on Florida’s southwest coast, with its front door at 1734 Cape Coral Parkway East, Cape Coral 33904. It gives your group a fixed place to land after the cruise, well away from the port crowds and set among the quiet residential streets that thread through this part of the city.
What defines the area is water. Cape Coral is built around canals — hundreds of navigable miles of them — so the neighborhoods here fan out along channels rather than a single grid, and boats sit at the ends of many streets. Four Freedoms Park is close by, and short bridge crossings carry you over to Fort Myers and out toward the islands, which keeps the coast within easy reach of wherever you happen to be staying.
Once you have settled in, there is more within a short drive. Sun Splash Waterpark and the Fourmile Cove Ecological Preserve both sit nearby in Cape Coral, so a stay here works whether you want a slow day near the water or a walk through the mangroves and boardwalks of the preserve. The mix of canals, parks, and quick routes to Fort Myers makes Del Prado Inn-East Richard a practical base for a few extra days after the ship, and our drop-off covers the inn itself along with the surrounding streets by your stay, so you are delivered to the door and not to a lot somewhere down the road.
Coming off the ship, the run to Del Prado Inn-East Richard is a single stretch of about 155.9 miles, most of it along I-595. Plan on roughly 160 to 171 minutes behind the wheel, with traffic on the interstate the only real variable. Your driver is already at the terminal when your group clears the exit, so there is no line to join and no scramble for a car — you walk out, meet the chauffeur at the curb, and go.
Your bags ride in the same vehicle the whole way; the driver handles the loading at the pier and again when you reach the inn. It is your group alone in the car, so you set the departure and the pace over the two-and-a-half to three-hour drive. The trip ends right at the door of Del Prado Inn-East Richard, with fuel, standard tolls, and luggage help already inside the one flat fare.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
My partner and I had a great sailing and followed it with a private car ready at the curb to take us to Del Prado Inn-East Richard — not one worry at the terminal. There was a name sign at the curb, so we spotted the driver immediately.
The two of us booked a private transfer for disembarkation morning so we wouldn’t worry about the timing getting over to Del Prado Inn-East Richard. The SUV was spotless, a relief in the Miami heat. No lot to comb through — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there.
My wife and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Del Prado Inn-East Richard before we even sailed. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Del Prado Inn-East Richard, it was well worth it. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — a relief after a week aboard.
De cruzeiro com a família, não queríamos caos no dia do desembarque, então uma van privativa direto até Del Prado Inn-East Richard foi perfeito. A última coisa que se quer depois de uma semana no mar é uma viagem que não acontece, e esta foi totalmente sólida.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car meet us at the terminal for the ride over to Del Prado Inn-East Richard was the best part of the day.
