From $285 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami cruise terminals north to Gun Club Estates in West Palm Beach.
The figure below is the whole-vehicle rate, fixed the moment you reserve. It carries your entire party and cruise luggage on one booking, and it never climbs for demand, weekend traffic, or a crowded disembarkation morning.
Before the highway even begins, the car has to get clear of the port, and everything crossing that water funnels through a single tunnel and one downtown bridge. Cruise coaches, freight trucks, and crew shuttles all share those two exits, so a busy morning can eat more time than the short distance suggests. Rather than idle in that queue for hours, your driver stages close by and rolls up to the curb the moment you send word that you are off the ship. Ask for a name sign when you book and the driver holds it as your group steps out of the terminal, then loads every case for you. The night before you sail, a text arrives with the driver’s name, the vehicle, and the plate, so nothing is a guess at the curb.
Gun Club Estates is a settled residential corner of West Palm Beach, made up of single-family homes along calm, tree-shaded streets rather than hotel rows or tourist strips. It feels like a place people actually live and return home to, with the everyday shops, restaurants, and services of central West Palm Beach a short distance off, plus the city’s waterfront downtown and cultural venues within easy reach. Arriving cruise travelers usually head here to visit family, to settle in for a longer regional stay, or to use the area as a calm base for a wider Palm Beach County trip, so the drop-off is a quiet driveway or front door instead of a packed curb. For a sense of the streets before you arrive, browse a guide to the Gun Club Estates community.
This is a regional run rather than a quick local hop: the Port of Miami sits well to the south, and the route climbs north along the I-95 corridor toward West Palm Beach. How long it takes depends entirely on the day — midday and evening departures tend to move steadily, while weekday rush hours and mornings when several ships empty at once put far more cars on the road. Because the driver follows your vessel’s real arrival and disembarkation timing, the departure is planned around the conditions in front of you rather than a fixed guess made weeks earlier, so you are neither stranded on the curb nor rushed out before your bags are down. When a cluster of ships clears together, the terminal roadway itself can inch along well before you ever reach open highway.
Every fare on this page is quoted one way and per vehicle, so a party of five pays the same SUV rate as a single traveler. A 50% deposit locks the booking, and the remaining half goes straight to the driver on the day of the trip. Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over the WhatsApp line. Booking the return as well simply doubles the one-way fare, with the same vehicle bringing you back to the Port of Miami — reserve both directions together so one driver and one confirmed time cover the whole itinerary.
Daytime service runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with no added charge. A pickup that lands outside that window carries one modest, per-trip addition that depends on the vehicle.
A curbside meet-and-greet is part of every booking — the driver comes to find your group, not the other way around. A held name sign adds $20 if you would like one waiting as you exit. Traveling with little ones? A child seat is $15 each, so pass the ages to the WhatsApp line when you reserve and the right seats are fitted in advance. Small pets ride along as well, given a heads-up and a proper carrier. If you need the car to pause somewhere on the way north, extra stops run $45 for each 30 minutes. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel already sit inside the fare, onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, and the driver is fluent in English and either Spanish or Portuguese.
Yes — disembarkation morning is the most common pickup on this route. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead so the vehicle and driver are set aside, and the driver watches your ship’s arrival to be in place as your group comes ashore. Requests inside that 24-hour window are still reviewed by hand, though same-day space is never promised.
The pickup simply shifts with it, at no extra cost. The driver is already tracking your vessel’s real arrival and clearance, so a slow customs hall or a late berth moves the curb time on its own — no rebooking and no penalty. You step out once you are cleared, and the car is timed to exactly that.
Always per vehicle. One flat rate covers the entire group up to that tier’s seat count, so five people in the SUV pay the listed SUV price, not five separate fares. Tolls and fuel are folded into that number, and nothing per-head is tacked on at the curb.
Every tier is sized for cruise bags — figure on roughly one checked bag plus a carry-on per seat, with the vans built to swallow big family loads of rolling cases. Hauling extra or oversized pieces? Message the WhatsApp line first so the room is confirmed, or so you can be moved up to a larger van.
Lock in your private ride between the Port of Miami and Gun Club Estates at least a day ahead. Send your ship name, the disembarkation date, your group size, and the pickup direction, and the vehicle, the flat fare, and the driver details come back to you the night before you sail. Reach out on WhatsApp or call 786-682-8748 to book.
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.
