From $360 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami to Alva, met at the cruise terminal and driven to your door.
The price below covers the whole vehicle, not a seat, and it holds from the moment you book — cruise-day demand and terminal traffic never move it. Pick the size that matches your party and the luggage coming off the ship.
Once your ship ties up and you clear the gangway, your driver is already waiting at the cruise-terminal curb, with meet-and-greet included at no extra charge. There is no app to open and no shared van to hunt down — you step out with your bags and the reserved vehicle is right there. When several ships empty at the same terminal on one morning the curb gets crowded, so a name sign held at the exit makes the handoff fast; that sign is a $40 add-on you request when you book. Your driver loads the cruise luggage and you pull away for the one-way run to Alva without queuing for a rideshare.
Alva sits well away from the noise of the cruise district, so as your driver clears the port the surroundings turn quiet and residential. Arriving cruise passengers reach a low-key community — small shops, everyday places to eat, and calm neighborhood streets rather than a tourist strip — the sort of place that suits travelers who want a settled base once the ship is behind them. Because the ride is door-to-door, there is no working out the last stretch with suitcases in hand; the driver brings you to the exact address you gave. Send your exact drop-off spot at booking so the arrival is planned around it.
This is an old river town where the approach roads run narrow beneath big oaks, leaving little space for a full-size van to swing around if it overshoots a driveway. Out here a single property can go by two different names, with just one of them showing on a mapping app, so pass along the version your host actually uses, including any local road name that the postal address leaves out. The flat fare holds no matter how the traffic behaves, so rather than metering the minutes, the driver shapes the route around when your ship actually clears and adjusts on the day.
Yes. Book both legs together and the return run from Alva back to the Port of Miami is priced as the same one-way fare in that direction. Reserving the return at the same time gives you one confirmed pickup window for your departure day.
