From $665 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Forest City by SUV or van, door to door at a flat rate.
Each fare below is the flat total for the whole private vehicle to your destination, set the moment you book and never split into a per-seat charge.
Pickup happens curbside as you clear the PortMiami cruise terminal, with meet and greet included in every booking.
Disembarkation morning is one of the busiest windows at the port, so your driver follows the ship’s real arrival and holds the slot until you actually reach the curb — a late dock costs you nothing extra. A short courtesy wait is built into every terminal pickup, so a slow clear through customs never puts the ride at risk. Want a name sign waiting as you walk out? Add it for $20 and the driver stands with your name where passengers exit. Bags go straight into the vehicle and the run to Forest City begins, with no rideshare lot to search and no line to join.
Forest City is the name of two quieter American towns that sit well inland from Miami’s coast, and the transfer serves whichever one is your address. Neither is a beach-resort strip; both are ordinary small-town communities of main-street shops, parks, family streets and everyday businesses. These are the destinations cruise travelers reach for when the trip ends in a home visit, time with relatives or a calm stay after a week at sea, and the driver takes you door to door to the one you name.
Reserving a single private car means only your party rides — no pooling, no detour to gather strangers, no meter climbing in traffic. Pick the SUV for a couple or a small family, or a van when the group runs larger, and the same vehicle carries everyone and the luggage together. Every driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so plans for the drive to Forest City are easy to settle on the way. Message the driver directly on WhatsApp with any change and a real person answers, not an app queue. Book it one-way, or add the return leg in the same reservation.
A 50% deposit confirms the reservation when you book, and the remaining balance goes to the driver on the day of the ride. The price is charged per vehicle for the entire group, not per person, and it holds whether two travelers or a full van of fourteen head to Forest City. A clear payment summary goes out before travel day, so the amount is settled and nothing is a surprise at drop-off. Pricing is quoted one-way; a round trip is simply double the one-way fare, booked as a single reservation so one driver covers both directions.
Daytime service runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with no added charge. A pickup that starts outside those hours carries a night fee on the SUV of $20 within Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 for points beyond, confirmed when you book so nothing is calculated on the morning itself.
Meet and greet comes with every transfer at no cost. A name sign at the terminal is $20, and a child seat is $15 each — tell us the ages and how many seats when you book so they are fitted before pickup. Need to pause along the way? An extra stop is $45 per 30 minutes, arranged in advance so the driver plans the route around it.
Yes. The flat price shown in the fare list is for the whole private vehicle, so it never changes with the number of riders. Two passengers or fourteen, luggage included, pay the one rate to your door. There is no per-seat cost and no baggage surcharge.
A small pet can travel with advance notice over WhatsApp, riding inside a proper carrier. Share your pet’s size when you book so the driver assigns the right space for the group and the animal. That keeps the party at ease for the full ride to Forest City.
Booking at least 24 hours ahead secures the vehicle and driver for your date. Requests inside that window are still reviewed by hand, though availability is not promised. Message your ship, date and passenger count as early as you can for the smoothest match to your disembarkation morning.
Your driver tracks the vessel’s actual arrival, so a late dock is not a problem and the pickup is re-timed to when you truly clear the terminal. You keep the same vehicle and the same rate, with no charge for the wait. There is no need to re-book or find another ride at the curb.
Lock your private Port of Miami to Forest City transfer by message. Send your sail date, ship name, passenger count and drop-off address on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748, and the vehicle, driver and pickup time come back confirmed.
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.
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 Forest City so easy. We got a clear confirmation, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal. The van was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, a relief in the Miami heat.
For an easy disembarkation, my wife and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us to Forest City. The ride to Forest City was calm and comfortable, cool and comfortable, and we could just relax after the cruise. The driver handled the suitcases so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
Getting the whole party off the ship and out to Forest City is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van made it effortless. 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.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to Forest City. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no guessing at the curb when we walked out. The ride to Forest City was quiet and relaxed, climate-controlled, and we could just unwind. Highly recommend.
Getting all of us off the ship and out to Forest City is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. The ride to Forest City was smooth and steady, climate-controlled, and we could just unwind.
