From $140 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami cruise terminal straight to your Boulevard Gardens door.
Each fare below is the whole-vehicle total for your group, fixed the moment you reserve and unchanged by traffic.
Once your ship berths at the Port of Miami, collect your bags and step out of the cruise terminal to find the driver waiting at the curb, ready to lift every case into the vehicle. Sixty minutes of courtesy waiting is built in from the agreed pickup time, so a slow customs line is no problem. The evening before you journey, a text brings the driver’s name, the vehicle and the plate, which makes the person easy to spot in the disembarkation crowd. Reserve at least 24 hours out so a vehicle sized to your party is confirmed for your terminal.
Boulevard Gardens is a quiet garden-apartment cooperative — a tree-shaded residential pocket rather than a tourist strip, built from low-rise homes along calm streets. Most people arriving here are visiting relatives or friends, or simply desire a restful base to unwind in after days at sea. Day to day, the streets run to neighborhood dining and small shops rather than headline sights, which makes it an unhurried place to settle between a cruise and the rest of a journey. Whatever the exact address, the ride finishes at the door, so the last stretch is never yours to work out.
A garden-apartment layout means the street number by itself seldom points to a single front door: several low buildings can share one address, and their entrances open onto interior walkways instead of the street. When you book, pass along the building’s letter or number, the unit, and which road the parking lot opens toward. With those details the driver pulls in on the correct side of the property and walks the cases to the right entrance instead of the first one in view.
The journey is one uninterrupted ride with no shared pickups, so its length rides mostly on when you pull away from the terminal toward Boulevard Gardens. Early in the day the roads move freely and the run is swift. Disembarkation mornings are the busiest stretch: several ships can unload together, packing the exits and nearby streets with cabs, shuttles and private cars until the pace drags. The driver keeps an eye on the ship’s true arrival and sets the departure around it, and since the fare is locked when you book, heavier traffic never changes the price you agreed to.
Yes. Reserve the return leg with the outbound and the same private vehicle collects you from your Boulevard Gardens address for the run back to the cruise terminal. A round journey is the one-way fare doubled, and booking both legs together keeps one driver and a set pickup time on record.
Yes, on request. Ask ahead on WhatsApp and the driver will be at the terminal exit holding your name, for a $40 add-on to the fare. Either way, the driver’s name, vehicle and plate reach you by text the night before, so spotting the ride is simple.
