From $175 per vehicle — private, one-way transport from Port of Miami to Goulds by black SUV or van.
Each figure below is the full price for the vehicle, not a per-seat charge, and it holds from the moment the booking is set — fuel and tolls already sit inside it.
On the morning the cruise ends, your driver is already following the vessel’s arrival and disembarkation, so the car is in place by the time you clear the gangway. Pickup happens at the curb outside your PortMiami cruise terminal, where the driver lifts the heavy bags and steers the group to the vehicle. Meet-and-greet is part of the ride at no charge; a printed name sign held at the exit can be added for $40 when you ask for it over WhatsApp. Mornings when several ships empty at once crawl through the terminal roads, and the driver builds that delay into the pickup timing.
Goulds sits deep in the south of Miami-Dade, and the trip there leaves the port and drops down US-1, the South Dixie Highway, toward the far edge of the county. How long it takes depends on the morning: a light off-peak departure clears downtown quickly, while a heavy disembarkation with several ships unloading slows the first leg out of the port, and afternoon congestion on the southern stretch of US-1 can add more minutes still. None of that reaches the price. Because the fare is flat and fixed at booking, a slower road never changes the number, and the one-way rate you agreed to is the one you pay.
Goulds is a down-to-earth residential and farming community in the south of Miami-Dade, with a working, suburban character rather than a beach-resort one. It falls inside the broader Redland growing region, that run of plant nurseries, roadside produce stands, and family kitchens feeding much of the area’s trade in tropical fruit and ornamental plants. Neighborhood churches and quiet streets set the pace. Whether the stop there is a relative’s house, a business address, or a pause on a longer Florida trip, the driver takes the group to the exact street you name, door to door.
Disembarkation morning is the whole point of this transfer, so set the pickup for shortly after your scheduled debark time and the driver is in position. Booking at least 24 hours ahead lets the driver be assigned; shorter notice is reviewed by hand, though a car cannot be promised. Even when several ships clear together, the reserved vehicle is waiting at the curb.
The rate is per vehicle, never per head, so the whole party rides for the single posted price. A couple in the SUV pay what a filled van pays, and adding the return leg merely doubles the figure. The number quoted at booking is the number you settle.
Yes — the ride ends at whatever street you give, whether that is a family home, a business, or a stay somewhere neighboring in south Miami-Dade. Most of the community is housing rather than hotels, so plenty of cruise visitors lodge somewhere close and hand the final leg to the driver, door to door. Share the exact address at booking and it reaches the driver with the rest of the trip details.
