From $220 per vehicle, a private one-way ride between Port of Miami and Manalapan, cruise-terminal curb to your door.
Each rate below is the full price for the vehicle, not a per-person charge. Pick the size that fits your cruise party and the whole group rides for one flat, pre-agreed fare.
Once the ship ties up at the PortMiami cruise terminal and you clear the building with your bags, the driver is already positioned at the curb — no app to open, no rideshare lot to search. Request a name sign at booking and it is held up as you walk out, which makes finding your ride easy after a long morning of customs and luggage. Sixty minutes of complimentary waiting at the terminal is built in from the scheduled pickup, so an unhurried walk-off costs nothing. Since pickups are timed to your real disembarkation rather than a guessed hour, a busy morning with several ships letting off at once still leaves the vehicle in place.
This is a private, one-way transfer: the SUV or van carries only your party, with no shared seats and no detours to pick up other travelers. From the terminal the route heads north up the Atlantic coast of Florida along I-95 into Palm Beach County, finishing at your Manalapan address. The driver speaks two languages — English and Spanish — which eases sorting out plans on a busy disembarkation morning. A round journey is priced as double the one-way fare and booked as a single reservation, so the same arrangement can return you to Port of Miami for a later sailing.
Time on the road shifts with the day and the hour. An unhurried midday departure rolls north at a steady clip, while a disembarkation morning — several ships emptying at once into rush-hour traffic — drags the drive out. The flat fare never changes with the traffic, so a slow crawl on I-95 adds nothing to what you agreed at booking. If you are going the opposite way to create a sailing, share the all-aboard time and a comfortable buffer is added to the schedule.
Manalapan is a quiet, well-to-do town on the Palm Beach County coast, sitting on a slender barrier island with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. It is a calm, residential community lined with oceanfront estates and soft, private-feeling stretches of sand, moving at a gentle pace far from the crowds and nightlife farther south. The ocean and the waterway shape daily life, drawing visitors who come for salt air and water views. Just past the town line, neighboring Lantana and the Lake Worth Beach area put waterfront dining, marinas and small shops within easy reach, and the coastal road north points to Palm Beach’s shops, galleries and cultural spots. For beach access, town services and local details, see the Town of Manalapan’s official website.
A good number of properties here are tucked behind a manned gatehouse or share a private lane among a few neighboring homes. Before the ship arrives, arrange for the lead passenger’s name to go on the gate list, and hand over any entry code or an on-site phone contact at the time of booking. With that squared away, the driver is waved through on the first attempt rather than waiting outside while calls are made.
Yes. The day before the journey you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle model and the license plate, along with clear pickup instructions, so you know exactly who and what to look for as you leave the terminal. If plans shift, a swift message on WhatsApp keeps the timing aligned.

Meu companheiro e eu saímos do navio no PortMiami e tínhamos um carro privativo pronto no terminal para nos levar até Manalapan. Havia trinta minutos de folga a partir do horário combinado, então nunca precisamos correr para juntar as malas. O van estava limpo, fresco e confortável, com lugar para tudo.
