From $550 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to your Melbourne address.
The price below buys the whole vehicle to your door, locked the moment you reserve and unaffected by traffic or how many people ride.
Your driver is curbside at the cruise terminal exit, watching the ship’s real arrival so a slow clearance simply shifts the pickup.
As your party steps off the ship and clears the terminal building, the assigned chauffeur is already at the curb, ready to load a week of cruise luggage. There is no counter to find and no rideshare lot to hunt through — the vehicle is held for your group alone and booked before you ever sail. Send the ship name over WhatsApp and the driver can hold a name sign at the exit, and the day before pickup a text brings the driver’s name, the vehicle, and the plate, so you know exactly who to walk toward on a crowded disembarkation morning.
Melbourne sits on Florida’s Space Coast, an easygoing run of Atlantic shoreline a long way up the map from Miami.
The town balances a walkable, historic riverfront downtown — independent cafes, small galleries, and low-key waterfront bars — against broad, calmer beaches a short hop across the water. The wider Space Coast is known for its shoreline, its wildlife areas, and the neighboring launch region that pulls visitors to this stretch of the state. For a family stepping off a busy cruise week, Melbourne makes an unhurried base, and your private driver sets you down at the exact door you book, luggage and all. Whatever draws you here — the riverfront, the sand, or the launches — the ride ends where your stay begins.
The route is a long, steady highway push north out of Miami on I-95, driven straight through with no transfers and no shared seats.
On mornings when several ships empty at once, the terminal approach roads and the first miles of highway leaving the city can crawl, so an early, pre-booked pickup keeps your group ahead of the crowd; later in the day the traffic loosens and the miles pass quietly. Rather than promise a fixed clock, the driver sets the departure around your ship’s real clearance time and the road as it stands, then takes the most direct line north to Melbourne. Because the fare is a flat, one-way price, a slow patch of traffic never moves the number — what you locked at booking is what you pay at the curb.
Match the vehicle to your headcount: a private Black SUV for up to five, or a private van for a larger cruise party.
Booking runs in three short steps — send your ship or flight details with the number of passengers, confirm the vehicle and the flat quote, then place the deposit to hold the date. Every tier is reserved for your party alone, with room set aside for cruise bags, so a family of five or a group of fourteen travels together in one vehicle instead of splitting across cars. The day before pickup, the driver’s details reach you by text, and any child-seat or pet request is arranged over WhatsApp ahead of time.
A 50% deposit confirms the reservation, and the remaining half goes to the driver on the day of the trip.
The fare is charged per vehicle for the whole group, never per seat, so the figure you see is the figure you pay. Pricing is one-way; a round trip is simply double the one-way rate and can be held as a single reservation, with the same vehicle bringing you back to the Port of Miami for a connecting sailing or flight. Nothing extra is collected at the curb beyond the agreed balance.
Meet-and-greet service is part of every booking; a handful of extras are priced plainly so nothing is a surprise on trip day.
A curbside meet-and-greet comes with the ride at no charge, while a held name sign at the terminal adds $20. Each child seat is $15, fitted before pickup once you send the ages. A short extra stop along the way runs $45 per 30 minutes when arranged in advance. Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no surcharge; outside that window the Black SUV adds $20 for pickups within Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 for pickups beyond those counties.
The same private car service links Miami International Airport (MIA) with Melbourne, not only the cruise terminal.
If a flight bookends your sailing, reserve the identical Black SUV or private van and ride door-to-door up the coast in one held vehicle. The driver follows the flight, so an early or late landing only shifts the pickup — no penalty and no rebooking. Meet the chauffeur at arrivals, hand over the bags, and go; from either the airport or the Port of Miami, the run ends at your Melbourne address at one flat, one-way fare confirmed ahead of time.
Yes. The driver watches your ship’s real docking and disembarkation times, so a late arrival re-times the pickup at no added cost. A short wait at the terminal is expected on cruise mornings and is built into how the pickup is planned.
Book at least 24 hours before pickup so the vehicle and driver can be confirmed for your date. Cruise season and busy disembarkation mornings fill first, so an earlier reservation is the safer bet. Need to move your pickup time? Shift it with a day’s notice and the flat fare stays put.
Yes — disembarkation-morning pickups are the core of this service. Send your ship name when you book, and the driver is in position as your group clears the terminal. Even when several ships empty together, the reserved vehicle waits only for your party.
Addresses on the downtown riverfront and addresses out on the oceanfront can read alike on a form, yet they sit across the water from each other and are reached by different approaches. Send the hotel name with its street when you book, so the right side is set before the drive rather than discovered at the end of it.
Lock your private Port of Miami to Melbourne transfer before you sail. Send your ship or flight details, group size, pickup date, and your drop-off address on WhatsApp, and the vehicle and flat quote are confirmed the same day. Message on WhatsApp 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.
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.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and getting a private car to meet us at the terminal for the ride to Melbourne made the morning easy. We got a clear confirmation, so there was no guessing at the port.
Para un desembarque tranquilo, mi esposo y yo hicimos que un conductor privado nos esperara en la terminal y nos llevara a Melbourne. Un traspaso fácil y sencillo para los dos, del barco a Melbourne.
No íbamos a hacer malabares con niños y maletas buscando transporte en el puerto, así que coordinamos una van privada a Melbourne. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — el puerto quedó totalmente resuelto. Lo último que quieres tras un crucero es un viaje que falle, y este fue totalmente sólido.
Our family of four came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded all the cruise bags for the ride to Melbourne. We got a clear confirmation, so there was no guessing at the port.
I was cruising on my own and booked a private car to meet me at the cruise terminal after the ship docked, then run me straight to Melbourne. The meet-and-greet at the curb came with the booking, and I found the car with no trouble.
