From $620 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Fern Park, flat rate, door to door.
Each figure below is the whole-vehicle rate for the run north, not a charge per seat — one traveler or a packed van settles the same flat total.
Cruise passengers step off the ship, clear customs, and walk out to the curb at the PortMiami terminal, where the assigned driver is already waiting with luggage space cleared. Disembarkation moves in waves, each group called by the colored tags left on the bags the evening before, and the card left in your stateroom says which wave is yours. Pass that detail along so the car meets your actual release, not the instant the earliest travelers step onto the sidewalk. A name sign can be held at the exit for an added $40 when you ask ahead over WhatsApp, so a tired family spots the car without combing a rideshare lot. Curb-side meet-and-greet comes with the ride, and the driver loads every case before the vehicle heads north.
Fern Park sits inland in the greater Orlando region of Central Florida, a peaceful suburban community of quiet streets, neighborhood shopping plazas, and low-key local eateries — not a downtown skyline. Travelers reach it to see relatives, break up a longer journey, or settle within reach of the region’s theme-park corridor before the parks. The mood is green and unhurried, with pockets of park and open space threaded between the neighborhoods. For a cruise party heading inland after a long sailing, Fern Park works as a quiet base that keeps the wider Orlando region within simple reach.
This is a long-distance transfer — a highway drive that heads north from the port and into Central Florida, far beyond a swift cross-town errand. Since the true minutes swing with the hour and the road, the journey is top framed by feel instead of a fixed clock: light traffic lets the miles roll past in simple, even cruising, while a morning when a few ships unload together can bog down the opening stretch near the berths until the lanes finally clear. On a run of this length, one brief pause for a restroom or a bite fits in without trouble — just say the word to the driver. The cabin holds a steady temperature the whole drive, so arriving in Fern Park feels simple after a cruise.
Yes — the morning you leave the ship is exactly when most of these disembark-day runs happen. The car is scheduled around your clearance time so it stands ready as you reach the curb, even on a crowded multi-ship morning. Send the ship name and sailing date when booking and the pickup is matched to your terminal exit.
Yes. While this page prices the run to Fern Park, private cars also leave the PortMiami terminal for Miami International, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, and other airports and towns. Share the flight time and terminal over WhatsApp and that transfer is quoted separately, with the right vehicle held for your group.
Reserving at least 24 hours ahead locks in a guaranteed vehicle for the northbound run. A last-minute request inside that window still gets a hand check, but a car cannot be promised. Once confirmed, the day before a text lands with your driver’s name, the car model, and the tag number plus pickup directions.

Bajamos del barco con los pequeños listos para llegar, y una van privada ahí en la terminal hizo el viaje a Fern Park muy fácil. Sin fila que hacer — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. En el auto íbamos solo nosotros — sin nadie más a quien esperar — justo lo que queríamos.
No quería andar buscando un transporte la mañana que desembarcamos, así que coordiné un auto privado de la puerto a Fern Park.
Disembarking alone, I had a driver ready and waiting to head to Fern Park — nothing left to chance. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt looked after from the terminal all the way to Fern Park.
My partner and I stepped off the ship at PortMiami and had a private car waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Fern Park. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out when we walked out. For a no-hassle way to get from the port to Fern Park, it was well worth it.
The easy way to handle PortMiami disembarkation. Highly recommend. The car was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, a relief in the Miami heat.
