From $600 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from the Port of Miami to Melbourne Village on Florida’s Space Coast.
One flat charge covers the whole vehicle and everyone riding in it — not a per-head fare — and the number is locked the moment you book.
Once your ship ties up at PortMiami and your group works through the terminal, the driver is already positioned at the curb just outside the exit. A meet-and-greet is built into every booking, so someone is there to take the luggage cart the moment you step out; if you would rather be spotted by a printed name sign at the pickup point, add that for $40. Cruise suitcases go straight into a private black SUV for parties up to five, or a van for six to fourteen, and the driver handles the loading. Reserve at least a day ahead so the driver’s name and plate reach you the evening before, which makes the two of you simple to match on a hectic disembarkation morning.
Melbourne Village is a municipality all its own — a few square blocks of quiet streets folded into the wider city of Melbourne, in Brevard County on Florida’s Space Coast. It holds a green, low-rise character, family homes and shaded lanes rather than towers, while the country around it runs out to the Atlantic beaches, the Indian River Lagoon and the kitchens and storefronts of greater Melbourne. Cruise passengers who ride up here are commonly calling on relatives, opening or closing a stretch of Space Coast holiday, or linking to somewhere else in the region. Drop-off is at your door, whatever corner of Melbourne Village or its neighbors you are bound for. The town’s own municipal website lays out its services and history for anyone planning a longer stay.
No fixed clock time is quoted, because two disembark mornings are never alike. The drive runs due north — I-95 out of Miami and on toward the Space Coast — and the driver builds the pickup around your ship’s real clearance time, so the group is not stranded on the curb. If a cluster of ships unloads together, the port approaches and the opening highway miles inch along until they loosen; a quieter departure moves without that drag.
Yes — the ride ends at your exact door, whether that address falls inside Melbourne Village or along the neighboring Melbourne and West Melbourne streets. Since the little municipality routes its mail through the bigger city’s name, write out the address just as your booking or rental paperwork shows it and note a neighboring cross street, so the driver reaches the correct block straight away.
