From $115 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Ocean Jade Spa in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included; a name-sign welcome is available for an extra $20. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Ocean Jade Spa sits in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a small beach town where the shoreline is only steps from the front door. Guests who check in after a cruise often trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they disembark, walking straight from their room to the water instead of unpacking first. The town is built for that kind of easy day: you arrive, drop your bags, and the beach is already waiting.
What sets this stretch of coast apart is the reef just offshore. Divers here walk into the water rather than boarding a boat, entering from the beach behind a main street lined with ice-cream shops and the old fishing pier. Anglin’s Fishing Pier and the shore-dive reef anchor the town’s quieter, salt-air character, and Datura Avenue and El Prado Park are close enough to fold into an afternoon once you land ashore.
On arrival, the pace is deliberately unhurried. The spa’s setting keeps the water, the pier, and the town’s short main street all within reach, so there is little need to plan much beyond stepping outside. Whether you came to dive the reef, cast a line off the pier, or just sit on the sand, everything here is arranged around the shoreline. It is the kind of place where the destination itself does most of the work, and where the change from cruise ship to beach town happens without a long inland drive breaking the mood.
The ride is door to door and planned around your ship. After you clear the terminal, your driver is already staged at the exact cruise berth your line uses, so there is no line to join and no watching an app for a car. Your bags go straight into the vehicle with luggage help at the curb, and the group rides together to the entrance of Ocean Jade Spa, never a shared car and never an added stop.
Because it is a private transfer, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed slot, which matters most on busy turnaround mornings when thousands of passengers come off the ships at once. Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat rate, so nothing is added on the day. From the port, the driver carries you and your luggage the whole way and sets the bags down at the door beside you.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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 reserved one van for the whole group from the terminal to Ocean Jade Spa so we all checked in together. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out.
The little ones were done after a week at sea when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to Ocean Jade Spa before anyone lost it. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
Getting off the ship on my own, I had a driver waiting at the terminal for the ride to Ocean Jade Spa — nothing left to chance. There was a board with my name on it at the terminal doors, so I didn’t have to look around. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt in good hands from the terminal all the way to the door of Ocean Jade Spa.
Esperando en la acera apenas salí, y un traslado cómodo hasta Ocean Jade Spa.
Bajamos del barco con los niños listos para una siesta, y una van privada ahí en la terminal hizo el viaje a Ocean Jade Spa muy fácil. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue confiable y puntual.
