From $89 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Coral Terrace, met at the cruise terminal.
Every fare here is one flat number for the whole vehicle, held from the moment you book and unmoved by traffic or the day’s demand. Select the size that fits your group and its bags.
Once your ship ties up and you clear the terminal building, your driver is waiting at the curb outside, ready to take the bags and walk your group to a vehicle that is already parked and reserved. The pickup is timed to your real disembarkation rather than a guessed slot, so the driver follows the ship’s actual arrival; a late berth merely shifts the meeting time and never changes the fare. Message the driver directly once the last person in your party has cleared customs, then walk out to a reserved car waiting at the curb rather than queuing for a taxi.
Coral Terrace is a settled residential pocket of unincorporated Miami-Dade, sitting just west of Coral Gables. Its streets run to single-family homes, mature shade trees, and an everyday, family-first rhythm rather than towers or nightlife. Errands stay close by — neighborhood restaurants, bakeries, small grocers, and strip-mall shops that serve a bilingual community — while the polished dining and boutiques of Coral Gables are a short hop east. For a group stepping off a cruise, Coral Terrace makes a peaceful, practical place to land, well clear of the tourist-core crowds.
The route leaves PortMiami and heads west across the city on SR-836, the Dolphin Expressway, aiming for the low-rise streets of the neighborhood. It is a short, in-town run on Miami’s main roads, not a long inter-city haul, so an off-peak departure moves briskly. On a heavy disembarkation morning, when several ships clear together and traffic pours away from the port, the same drive can stretch out; weekday rush hours and roadwork on the western corridor add time as well. Whatever the roads do that day, the flat rate you locked at booking holds — no surge, no traffic surcharge.
Corner lots confuse navigation apps: the mailing address can sit on one street while the entrance actually faces the cross street. When you share the address, tell us which road the front door opens to, and mention whether the number is stenciled on the curb rather than the facade. That single note puts the driver on the correct side the first time, even at dusk.
Yes. The same private vehicle runs the journey in reverse, carrying your group from Coral Terrace back to the port for a later cruise or an onward flight. Book both legs together so one driver and a fixed pickup time handle the outbound and the way back. A round journey is just the one-way fare doubled.

Top notch. didn’t know which transport to pick, glad we picked this.
Éramos seis bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a Coral Terrace fue mucho más simple que dividirnos en autos. La tarifa estaba fija desde la reserva, sin nada extra en la acera. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no había duda de cuál auto era el nuestro al salir. Hizo el desembarque facilísimo.
Right on schedule, professional, and the driver had the exits down cold. It was only us in the car — nobody else to wait on — which was a relief after a week aboard.
The group of us came off the ship together and it was a relief to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to Coral Terrace — everyone in one vehicle. We’ve already booked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami. It was only our group in the car — no side pickups — which was a relief after a week aboard.
Our whole crew came off the ship at once and it was so easy to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Coral Terrace — everyone in one vehicle. The meet-and-greet at the curb was included, and we knew right where to go. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to lift a thing.
