From $375 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to your Cypress Lake door on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
The figure below is the flat total for the whole vehicle, agreed the moment you book and held steady no matter the demand. Choose the tier that matches your cruise party and its luggage.
Pickup starts curbside at the Port of Miami cruise terminal, right where you step out after clearing customs and collecting your bags. Ask for a name sign at booking and the driver holds one at the exit for an added $40; either way, the driver waits at the agreed spot and lifts the cruise luggage into the vehicle. Disembarkation-morning runs are the heart of this service, so a same-day departure is expected — reserve at least a day ahead so the vehicle and driver are tied to your ship. Once the bags are aboard, the drive west toward the Gulf Coast begins.
Cypress Lake is a peaceful residential community in Southwest Florida, sitting close to Fort Myers on the state’s Gulf side. Palm-lined streets and quiet lakes give the area an unhurried, everyday feel, and golf courses, local restaurants, and the region’s beaches shape much of daily life here. Families often treat it as a landing point after a sailing — heading home, visiting relatives, or stretching a Gulf-Coast holiday a few more days, with the Fort Myers riverfront a short hop away when you want a change of scene. As a neighborhood marker, Cypress Lake High School anchors the local streets, and the driver takes you to whatever address you name — a house, a rental, or wherever you are staying.
This is a genuine coast-to-coast transfer: the Port of Miami faces the Atlantic, while Cypress Lake lies across the peninsula on the Gulf. The route heads west along I-75, the stretch known as the Alligator Alley corridor, so plan for a long highway run rather than a swift local hop. The driver watches your ship’s real docking time and paces the pickup to when you genuinely clear the terminal, not a guessed slot — a morning when several ships empty at once can tighten the roads leaving the port before they open up on the highway. On a haul this long, one rest stop of up to 30 minutes fits in effortlessly, so the drive stays simple.
Yes — the figure shown is for the whole vehicle, so the whole party rides on one flat price. A couple in the SUV pays the same vehicle rate as a family of five, and a group of fourteen splits a single van fare among more people. Nothing is charged seat by seat.
Yes — the same private vehicle can carry you back to the Port of Miami for a later sailing or a connecting flight. Because pricing runs one way, the return is booked as its own leg with its own confirmed time. Reserve both directions together so a single driver and two locked pickup times cover the whole itinerary.

On time. All good. Pro driver. Quiet ride.
The group of us came off the ship together and it was so easy to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Cypress Lake — no splitting up. The ride to Cypress Lake was quiet and relaxed, cool and comfortable, and we could just relax after the cruise.
There were eight of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Cypress Lake was the easy way.
We got off the ship with the little ones ready to be home, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to Cypress Lake a breeze. The last thing you want after a cruise is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when we needed it.
Fuimos de crucero con amigos y queríamos a todos y el equipaje en un solo viaje privado a Cypress Lake tras desembarcar. Sin estacionamiento que recorrer — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
