From $580 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to Southchase in south Orlando.
One flat number covers the whole vehicle, fixed the moment you reserve — headcount and cruise-day traffic never move it.
Once you clear the gangway and customs at the PortMiami cruise terminal, your driver is already staged at the curb outside the arrivals hall. Meet and greet comes with every booking, so someone is watching for your group as you roll out with the suitcases. Ask ahead on WhatsApp for a printed name sign and the driver holds one where you exit; that add-on runs $20. From the curb the bags go straight into the SUV or van, and the vehicle pulls away for the run north.
Southchase is a residential community on the south side of Orlando, Florida — rows of family homes, neighborhood shopping plazas, and the everyday dining you settle into rather than a tourist strip. It sits inside the broader Orlando region known for its theme parks, which makes the neighborhood a calm base for families who would rather sleep away from the busiest visitor cores. One local draw is the dine-in cinema, where a first-run film comes with a full menu at the Touchstar Cinemas Southchase 7 dine-in theater; you can see what is playing across the chain on the Touchstar Cinemas showtimes site. That residential quiet is exactly what many travelers look for after days at sea.
The trip leaves the port and climbs Florida’s Turnpike toward south Orlando, so plan on a multi-hour highway haul rather than a short city hop — it is one of the longer runs on the board. No fixed minute figure is published for it, because the real clock depends on your ship’s confirmed disembarkation hour and the departure time you choose. Your driver texts a realistic estimate the day before, shaped to your booking. On a stretch this long a single comfort stop can be arranged; each added stop beyond that is billed at $45 per 30 minutes.
A 50% deposit locks the vehicle when you book, and the remaining half is handed to the driver on the day of the ride. You can send the deposit by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link over WhatsApp or the website. Every figure is one-way and per vehicle, never per head — filling all five SUV seats costs the same total as riding solo. Need the return leg? A round trip is simply the one-way fare doubled, booked as a single reservation so one driver covers both directions of your Southchase trip.
The fare buys the entire ground transfer for your party alone, never a pooled seat. Terminal meet and greet, luggage help at both ends, and the flat per-vehicle rate all sit inside the number you agree to. The standard allowance is one checked suitcase plus one carry-on per passenger, with room kept for cruise bags. Traveling with little ones? The first child seat on a Port of Miami pickup adds $15, and sharing the ages on WhatsApp means the right seat is fitted before the driver arrives.
Standard daytime service runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with no add-on. A ride that begins outside that window carries a night fee on the SUV — $20 when the Miami-side pickup sits inside Miami-Dade or Broward, and $50 once it falls beyond those two counties. The amount is confirmed at booking, so nothing new turns up on trip day. Whatever hour your ship clears, the private vehicle and the quoted rate hold steady.
Your driver follows the ship’s actual arrival, so a late dock never costs you a rebooking or a second fare. The pickup re-times to when you truly step off, and the vehicle waits. You keep the same rate and the same driver, with no scramble at the curb after a long sailing.
It is per vehicle, plain and simple — the flat price listed above covers the whole group. Two passengers or a full van of fourteen pay the identical total, which usually makes a private ride the better math for families and larger parties bound for Southchase. No per-person charge is stacked on top.
Yes — the ride ends at whatever Southchase address you book, whether that is a hotel, a family home, or a short-term rental. If the rental owner sends gate codes or lockbox notes ahead of arrival, forward the part about getting a vehicle to the door and the driver works from it. One private car carries your party from the port straight to that doorstep.
Count on one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and the vehicle is chosen with cruise luggage in mind. For oversized or extra bags, send a note on WhatsApp beforehand so the space is confirmed or the booking is sized up to a larger private van. The whole party and every suitcase then travel together, start to finish.
Ready to lock your private transfer between the Port of Miami and Southchase? Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your ship name, disembarkation date, passenger count, and drop-off address. We confirm the vehicle, the flat fare, and your pickup time in writing before sail 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.
Para un desembarque tranquilo, mi esposa y yo hicimos que un conductor privado nos esperara en la terminal y nos llevara a Southchase. El viaje a Southchase fue tranquilo y parejo, fresco y cómodo, y pudimos relajarnos tras el crucero. Sinceramente la parte más fácil del viaje — todo se acomodó solo en la terminal.
Smooth transfer, fixed fare, no surprises out to Southchase. Recommend it without hesitation. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so I never had to rush through customs.
We got off the ship with the kids worn out after the cruise, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Southchase painless.
No íbamos a batallar con los pequeños y el equipaje buscando transporte en el puerto, así que reservamos una van privada a Southchase. El conductor cargó todas nuestras maletas del crucero para que no tuviéramos que batallar con todo.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to Southchase. The meet-and-greet at the curb came with the booking, and we found the car with no trouble.
