From $380 per vehicle — a private, one-way ride from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to Pine Ridge, booked door to door.
Each fare is a flat, per-vehicle price fixed the moment you reserve, so the whole group travels for one figure with no meter and no surge pricing on a busy cruise morning.
Pickups begin curbside at the Port of Miami cruise terminal, right where you step out with your bags — not in a far parking structure you reach on foot. Meet and greet comes standard, and a name-sign welcome can be added for $20 so your ride is easy to spot in the disembarkation crowd. A quick WhatsApp message as you clear the ship and head for the exit lets the driver line up the timing, load the cruise luggage, and have you settled in a cooled vehicle within minutes.
Pine Ridge is a calm residential community, the tree-lined, low-key sort of place where the pace loosens as soon as you arrive. Its streets stay quiet, given over mostly to houses and day-to-day neighborhood life instead of crowds or high-rises, which makes Pine Ridge an easy landing after the motion and noise of a sailing. The task here is simple: carry you and every bag from the ship straight to your Pine Ridge door, so your first task is unpacking rather than chasing down a ride.
A major road along this stretch of coast carries almost the same name as the Pine Ridge neighborhood, and mapping apps will occasionally suggest both. The fix is easy: give the driver the full street address and its ZIP code instead of just the area name, plus a nearby cross street if your host named one. That one detail settles any mix-up well before the vehicle pulls away from the terminal.
Every option is private, reserved for your party alone and never shared. The Black SUV seats up to five travelers with room for cruise luggage, an easy fit for couples and small families heading to Pine Ridge. A van covers six to nine passengers, and a larger van carries ten to fourteen, so a multi-family group stays together in one vehicle instead of splitting across cars.
This is a plain highway drive, and the actual time on the road hangs on cruise-day conditions more than any fixed number. Disembarkation pushes passengers out in waves, so when several ships empty at once even leaving the terminal can stretch out; a later, quieter pickup usually flows better than one at the mid-morning peak. The pickup is scheduled around when your ship is truly cleared, not a hopeful estimate, and the driver allows for loading the bags before the drive begins.
A 50% deposit confirms the reservation, and the balance is handed to the driver on travel day itself. Fares are quoted one-way and charged per vehicle for the whole group, never per head, so the return leg is booked the same way and set at the same rate. A child seat can be added for $15; note the ages when you book so the right seat is fitted before pickup.
Daytime service runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with no premium attached. A pickup outside that window adds a night fee on the SUV — $20 for trips staying inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 for destinations beyond those counties. If the plan calls for an unplanned stop along the way, extra time runs $45 per thirty minutes, arranged with the driver in advance rather than sprung at the curb.
It does. The figure shown covers the vehicle, not each seat, so two travelers or a full van of fourteen pay the same flat rate. No headcount math and no surge pricing — a return trip is simply the one-way fare booked twice.
Yes — a same-day disembarkation pickup is the whole point of this ride. Share your ship name when you book, and the driver watches its arrival to be curbside as you come off the ship. Even on a busy multi-ship morning at the Port of Miami, the reserved vehicle is waiting rather than something you chase.
A late clearance costs you nothing extra. Your driver follows the ship’s actual arrival and slides the pickup to fit, so a slow customs line never means re-booking or scrambling for another ride. The vehicle simply holds until you are truly off the ship and ready to go.
Booking at least a day ahead is the safest way to secure a vehicle for your sail date, and earlier is better for large groups needing a fourteen-seat van. Last-minute requests are taken when a car is free — a quick WhatsApp message is the fastest way to check availability for your Pine Ridge drop-off.
Every vehicle has genuine room for cruise luggage — figure a checked bag and a carry-on per traveler — so no one ends up holding a suitcase on their knees. Carrying oversized or extra bags? Mention it on WhatsApp beforehand so the driver confirms the space or moves you up to a larger van.
Lock in your private transfer to or from the Port of Miami and Pine Ridge before you sail so the vehicle is reserved and waiting. Send the ship name, sail date, party size, and the drop-off address, and the driver and fare are confirmed straight back. Reach a real person on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 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.
We cruised with a group of friends and wanted the whole group in one private ride to Pine Ridge after disembarking. The van was fresh and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
So glad I pre-booked — a smooth, easy handoff, zero stress at the terminal. It was just me in the car — no one else’s stops — which was so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
The two of us arranged a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t deal with the port crowds on the way to Pine Ridge. No rideshare app to fight with — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
Traveling with our little ones, we arranged a private van to be waiting at the curb and take everyone to Pine Ridge. The meet-and-greet at the curb came with the booking, and we knew right where to go. The fare was fixed when we booked, nothing added at the curb.
My husband and I had a wonderful cruise and finished the trip with a private car waiting right at the terminal to run us out to Pine Ridge — not a worry at the terminal. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs.
