From $235 per vehicle, a private one-way ride between Port of Miami and Manalapan, cruise-terminal curb to your door.
Each rate below is the full price for the vehicle, not a per-person charge. Pick the size that fits your cruise party and the whole group rides for one flat, pre-agreed fare.
Once the ship ties up at the PortMiami cruise terminal and you clear the building with your bags, the driver is already positioned at the curb — no app to open, no rideshare lot to search. Request a name sign at booking and it is held up as you walk out, which makes finding your ride easy after a long morning of customs and luggage. Thirty minutes of complimentary waiting at the terminal is built in from the scheduled pickup, so an unhurried walk-off costs nothing. Since pickups are timed to your real disembarkation rather than a guessed hour, a busy morning with several ships letting off at once still leaves the vehicle in place.
This is a private, one-way transfer: the SUV or van carries only your party, with no shared seats and no detours to pick up other travelers. From the terminal the route heads north up the Atlantic coast of Florida along I-95 into Palm Beach County, finishing at your Manalapan address. The driver speaks two languages — English together with Spanish or Portuguese — which eases sorting out plans on a busy disembarkation morning. A round trip is priced as double the one-way fare and booked as a single reservation, so the same arrangement can return you to Port of Miami for a later sailing.
Time on the road shifts with the day and the hour. An unhurried midday departure rolls north at a steady clip, while a disembarkation morning — several ships emptying at once into rush-hour traffic — drags the drive out. The flat fare never changes with the traffic, so a slow crawl on I-95 adds nothing to what you agreed at booking. If you are going the opposite way to make a sailing, share the all-aboard time and a comfortable buffer is added to the schedule.
Manalapan is a quiet, well-to-do town on the Palm Beach County coast, sitting on a slender barrier island with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. It is a calm, residential community lined with oceanfront estates and soft, private-feeling stretches of sand, moving at a gentle pace far from the crowds and nightlife farther south. The ocean and the waterway shape daily life, drawing visitors who come for salt air and water views. Just past the town line, neighboring Lantana and the Lake Worth Beach area put waterfront dining, marinas and small shops within easy reach, and the coastal road north points to Palm Beach’s shops, galleries and cultural spots. For beach access, town services and local details, see the Town of Manalapan’s official website.
A good number of properties here are tucked behind a manned gatehouse or share a private lane among a few neighboring homes. Before the ship arrives, arrange for the lead passenger’s name to go on the gate list, and hand over any entry code or an on-site phone contact at the time of booking. With that squared away, the driver is waved through on the first attempt rather than waiting outside while calls are made.
Pay by Zelle or Venmo, or through a secure link that comes over WhatsApp. A fifty-percent deposit locks the reservation, and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day of travel. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included at no extra charge. A held name sign at pickup adds $20, and a child seat on this Port of Miami route is $15. An added stop along the way runs $45 for each thirty minutes. The fare is charged once for the whole vehicle, so the figure you agree to at booking is the figure you pay — no per-head math and no surge.
Daytime hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. A pickup scheduled outside that window carries a modest after-hours charge that depends on the vehicle.
The fare is set for the vehicle, not for each seat, so a couple pays the same listed price as a group filling the van. The entire party rides for the single flat rate shown above. There is no headcount surcharge and no peak-time surge to work around.
The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on for each passenger, and every vehicle is chosen with room for cruise luggage. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Send a message ahead on WhatsApp to confirm the space, or step up to a larger van when the bag count runs high. The driver loads and unloads at both ends.
Booking at least twenty-four hours ahead is best for an unhurried cruise day and locks the slot for your exact disembarkation. Requests inside twenty-four hours are still reviewed by hand, though availability is not promised that close in. The sooner the ship name, date and party size arrive over WhatsApp, the easier the pickup is to arrange.
Yes. The day before the trip you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle model and the license plate, along with clear pickup instructions, so you know exactly who and what to look for as you leave the terminal. If plans shift, a quick message on WhatsApp keeps the timing aligned.
Reserve your private transfer between Port of Miami and Manalapan by sending your ship name, sailing or arrival date, group size and rough bag count. Message on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748, and the vehicle, the flat fare and your pickup plan are confirmed in return. Booking at least twenty-four hours ahead makes for the easiest cruise 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.
Easiest disembarkation we’ve had — met right at the terminal, luggage sorted, straight to Manalapan.
Our crew booked one van straight from the terminal to Manalapan, and nobody had to think about a thing. The last thing you want after a cruise is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when we needed it.
Our crew rode together straight from the port to Manalapan, and it was so easy. The meet-and-greet at the curb was part of it, and we found the car with no trouble. The car was fresh and comfortable, and there was space for everything.
Meu companheiro e eu saímos do navio no PortMiami e tínhamos um carro privativo pronto no terminal para nos levar até Manalapan. Havia trinta minutos de folga a partir do horário combinado, então nunca precisamos correr para juntar as malas. O van estava limpo, fresco e confortável, com lugar para tudo.
Éramos nove descendo no PortMiami, e um traslado privativo até Manalapan foi a jogada inteligente. O motorista cuidou das malas para não precisarmos batalhar com tudo.
