From $625 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lockhart in a black SUV or van, met at your cruise terminal.
Each fare is the total for the whole vehicle, fixed the moment you reserve and unchanged by traffic. Pick the tier that matches your party and your bags.
Once your ship ties up at Port of Miami and you clear the terminal hall with your luggage, your driver is already at the curb outside. Meet-and-greet comes with every booking, so the driver takes the cases and walks you to the vehicle rather than leaving you to search a rideshare lot. Ask for a name sign when you book and the driver holds it up in the disembarkation crowd for a small $40 charge, which makes the meeting quick when several ships empty at once. From that curb it is a single door-to-door run north, with no ticket line and no shared seats.
Lockhart is a Central Texas town whose compact downtown wraps around a historic courthouse square. The feel is small-town and walkable — local storefronts, a few cafés, and a barbecue tradition the town has carried for generations. It draws travelers after an unhurried Texas pace rather than a big-city rush, and it works as a quiet base or as one stop on a longer route. Community events fill the calendar through the year around that central square. Whichever address in Lockhart you are headed to, the drop is door-to-door, so the vehicle takes you straight to your lodging with no second transfer.
This is a long-distance transfer, so the hours on the road hinge on your departure time and conditions rather than one fixed figure. Early or mid-day starts tend to move more smoothly, while a hectic disembarkation window — several ships clearing at once around the terminals — can add time at the very start. Your driver watches your ship’s timing and sets out when your group is genuinely clear of the port, so the vehicle is not idling and you are not left waiting. Because it is a longer run, one short comfort stop of up to thirty minutes can be arranged in advance. Pricing is one-way, and a round trip is simply double that fare, with the same vehicle bringing you back to the port for a later sailing.

Every policy in full: FAQ
Took all the worry out of getting off the ship — highly recommend. The fare was locked in at booking, no surge because the port was slammed.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to Lockhart. The kids napped the whole way, and getting straight to Lockhart without a scramble at the port was a relief.

Cruising with the kids, we wanted the port end handled, so a private van straight to Lockhart was perfect. The last thing you want after a cruise is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when we needed it. For a reliable way to get from the port to Lockhart, it was money well spent.
All of us came off the ship at once and it was so easy to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Lockhart — no splitting up. No lot to comb through — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there. It was only us in the car — nobody else to wait on — which was so much nicer than piling in with strangers. Made getting off the ship so easy.
