From $100 per vehicle: a private one-way ride between the Port of Miami cruise terminal and Indian Creek.
Each figure is the flat total for the whole vehicle, fixed the moment you book and unaffected by cruise-day demand or traffic. Pick the size that matches your party and your cruise bags.
When your ship ties up at PortMiami, walk off, clear the terminal building with your bags, and step to the curb — the driver is standing right there. No phone app, no ride-hail lottery, no standing in a pickup lane. The day before sailing home, a text arrives with the driver’s name, the vehicle, and the plate, so you know exactly who to look for. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is part of the ride; if you would like the driver to hold a printed name sign as you come out, add $40 to the booking.
Indian Creek is a small, gated island village wrapped by water on the Miami Beach side of the bay — one of the quietest and most private addresses in the region. It feels calm and residential, not a tourist strip, which is exactly why arriving by a booked private car makes sense: the driver takes you to the door instead of leaving you to find a pickup lane. Because the island keeps a staffed entrance around the clock, a car is admitted only once the household has logged the visit ahead of time, and the gate officer will phone up if a name is missing. Sort that authorization out before you sail and make sure the driver’s name is registered, and the arrival is a straight roll through the gate.
This is a quick local hop inside the Miami area, not a long highway run, so the trip from the terminal to Indian Creek stays local end to end. How fast it moves depends mostly on your disembarkation slot: on mornings when a few ships clear together, the roads around the port fill up, so an earlier walk-off usually moves quicker than a mid-morning crush. Instead of promising a fixed number the Miami Beach traffic can blow past, the driver leaves a sensible buffer in the pickup and reads the roads live. You ride door to door, with no shared legs and no detours.
Match the size to your party and luggage. Up to five travelers and their cruise cases fit the Black SUV, the usual pick for couples, solo travelers, and small families. A party of six to nine rides one van, and ten to fourteen takes the larger van, so a bigger group stays together in a single vehicle instead of splitting across cars. Whichever you choose, the whole vehicle belongs to your booking alone — the flat rate covers the group, never a per-seat charge — and the driver speaks English along with Spanish or Portuguese. Tolls and fuel are already inside the price.
A 50% deposit locks in the vehicle when you book; the other half goes straight to the driver on pickup day, and cash is fine for that portion. Pay through Venmo or Zelle, or a secure payment link texted on WhatsApp. Each booking is billed per vehicle for the whole party, so no one pays a separate seat fare. Pricing is one-way — the return leg to the port is just the one-way rate over again, arranged under the same booking so the last morning is already handled.
Standard pickup hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM with nothing added. A ride that starts outside that window carries a small after-hours charge: $20 on the Black SUV for a destination inside the Miami-Dade or Broward area — which covers a local drop such as this one — and $50 for points beyond it, while the vans add 10% over the trip value. A child seat can be included for $15 when you note it at booking. If you need the driver to wait and work in a stop en route, that runs $45 for each 30 minutes. Everything is settled up front, so the day of the trip holds no surprises.
It is a quick local run. Indian Creek sits within the Miami area, so this is a compact point-to-point transfer, not a long cross-town drive. The exact time shifts with cruise-morning traffic near the port, which is why the driver plans the pickup around your ship’s posted arrival rather than a fixed clock.
You are covered at no added cost. The driver follows your ship’s actual arrival and disembarkation timing and shifts the pickup to when you truly step off. There is nothing to re-book and the flat rate does not move, so a slow customs line never turns into a scramble at the curb.
Yes. The driver loads and unloads your bags at both ends, and the Black SUV has real room for a full week of cruise luggage for up to five travelers. If your party is carrying oversized or extra cases, send a note on WhatsApp ahead of time so the right vehicle is assigned.
Yes. Pickups outside the 7 AM to 9 PM window are fine; the Black SUV just adds the $20 after-hours fee for a local drop such as this. Book at least 24 hours ahead so the vehicle is reserved around your debark time, and the driver meets you at the terminal whenever you actually walk off.
Lock in your private ride to or from Indian Creek before you sail. Send your ship, terminal, sailing date, party size, and the drop-off address, and the vehicle and driver details are confirmed ahead of time. Message WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 for the quickest reply, or call 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.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
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, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Viaje cómodo, recogida fácil, y un conductor que manejó la terminal como un experto. Recomendado. En el auto íbamos solo nosotros — sin recogidas de otros — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos.
My partner and I had a wonderful cruise and capped it off with a private car waiting right at the terminal to run us out to Indian Creek — no fuss at the port. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to lift a thing.
Clean car, easy pickup, and a driver who knew exactly where to go. Recommend. I’ve already saved them for my next cruise out of PortMiami.
La forma sin estrés de manejar el desembarque en PortMiami. Muy recomendable.
We didn’t want to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Indian Creek. The driver handled the suitcases so we didn’t have to lift a thing. The SUV was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
