From $655 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Fern Park, flat rate, door to door.
Each figure below is the whole-vehicle rate for the run north, not a charge per seat — one traveler or a packed van settles the same flat total.
Cruise passengers step off the ship, clear customs, and walk out to the curb at the PortMiami terminal, where the assigned driver is already waiting with luggage space cleared. Disembarkation moves in waves, each group called by the colored tags left on the bags the evening before, and the card left in your stateroom says which wave is yours. Pass that detail along so the car meets your actual release, not the instant the earliest travelers step onto the sidewalk. A name sign can be held at the exit for an added $20 when you ask ahead over WhatsApp, so a tired family spots the car without combing a rideshare lot. Curb-side meet-and-greet comes with the ride, and the driver loads every case before the vehicle heads north.
Fern Park sits inland in the greater Orlando area of Central Florida, a calm suburban community of quiet streets, neighborhood shopping plazas, and low-key local eateries — not a downtown skyline. Travelers reach it to see relatives, break up a longer journey, or settle within reach of the region’s theme-park corridor before the parks. The mood is green and unhurried, with pockets of park and open space threaded between the neighborhoods. For a cruise party heading inland after a long sailing, Fern Park works as a quiet base that keeps the wider Orlando region within easy reach.
This is a long-distance transfer — a highway drive that heads north from the port and into Central Florida, far beyond a quick cross-town errand. Since the true minutes swing with the hour and the road, the trip is best framed by feel instead of a fixed clock: light traffic lets the miles roll past in easy, even cruising, while a morning when a few ships unload together can bog down the opening stretch near the berths until the lanes finally clear. On a run of this length, one brief pause for a restroom or a bite fits in without trouble — just say the word to the driver. The cabin holds a steady temperature the entire drive, so arriving in Fern Park feels easy after a cruise.
Booking a Port of Miami pickup holds with a 50% deposit, and the other half is handed to the driver on the day of the ride, cash accepted at the curb. Pay by Venmo or Zelle, or through a secure link texted via WhatsApp or sent on the website. Every fare is quoted one way for the whole private vehicle, so a return trip just doubles that one-way figure, the same car carrying you back to the port. The rate is fixed the moment the booking is set, which means a busy sailing weekend or heavy disembarkation-day traffic never moves the number already agreed.
Daytime service runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with no premium. A pickup outside that window carries a small after-hours charge — $20 on the SUV for trips inside the Miami-Dade and Broward area, and $50 once the pickup reaches beyond it. An added stop along the route runs $45 for each 30 minutes, arranged in advance so the driver can plan the timing. A child seat is $15 on this Port of Miami route; share the count and ages of the children traveling at booking, and the seat is installed before the car arrives. Small pets can ride as well — flag it on WhatsApp beforehand and bring a suitable carrier.
The number is per vehicle, not per head. Everyone in your party travels on the one rate listed above — five in the SUV or a fully loaded van — so a bigger group only divides it further. There’s no seat-by-seat tally at pickup.
Yes — the morning you leave the ship is exactly when most of these disembark-day runs happen. The car is scheduled around your clearance time so it stands ready as you reach the curb, even on a crowded multi-ship morning. Send the ship name and sailing date when booking and the pickup is matched to your terminal exit.
Yes. While this page prices the run to Fern Park, private cars also leave the PortMiami terminal for Miami International, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, and other airports and towns. Share the flight time and terminal over WhatsApp and that transfer is quoted separately, with the right vehicle held for your group.
Reserving at least 24 hours ahead locks in a guaranteed vehicle for the northbound run. A last-minute request inside that window still gets a hand check, but a car cannot be promised. Once confirmed, the day before a text lands with your driver’s name, the car model, and the tag number plus pickup directions.
If the ship berths late, the pickup slides to match at no added cost. The driver watches the vessel’s real arrival and clearance, so a slow morning off the ship just moves the car later — nothing to re-book and no fee for the wait. That live tracking is the reason a booked cruise pickup beats flagging a ride down at the curb.
Lock in a private car to or from PortMiami and Fern Park. Send the ship name, sailing date, group size, and the Fern Park drop-off address, and the vehicle and price are confirmed the same day. Reach the driver directly on WhatsApp at https://wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748.
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.
Bajamos del barco con los pequeños listos para llegar, y una van privada ahí en la terminal hizo el viaje a Fern Park muy fácil. Sin fila que hacer — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. En el auto íbamos solo nosotros — sin nadie más a quien esperar — justo lo que queríamos.
No quería andar buscando un transporte la mañana que desembarcamos, así que coordiné un auto privado de la puerto a Fern Park.
Disembarking alone, I had a driver ready and waiting to head to Fern Park — nothing left to chance. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt looked after from the terminal all the way to Fern Park.
My partner and I stepped off the ship at PortMiami and had a private car waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Fern Park. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out when we walked out. For a no-hassle way to get from the port to Fern Park, it was well worth it.
The easy way to handle PortMiami disembarkation. Highly recommend. The car was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, a relief in the Miami heat.
