From $110 per vehicle — a private one-way transfer from Port of Miami to North Miami Beach, met at the cruise terminal.
Each fare below is the whole-vehicle price for your group, fixed when you book and unmoved by traffic or the disembarkation rush.
Once your ship is cleared at Port of Miami and your bags are off the carousel, step out to the terminal curb — the driver is already positioned there, ready to lift the cruise luggage and load the vehicle. Curbside meet-and-greet is part of the booking, with no shared hall to search and no queue for a vehicle to fill. A family reaching the curb after an international sailing can have a name sign held up for $40; just ask when you reserve on WhatsApp. Sixty minutes of courtesy waiting is counted from the pickup time you agree, and the driver’s name, vehicle, and plate reach by text the day before, so nobody stands guessing. Every driver is bilingual, handling English and Spanish.
Set on the northern side of the Miami metro, the city reads as a working, everyday place rather than a downtown tourist strip. Expect shopping centers, casual and international dining, neighborhood parks, and a mix of low-rise blocks and newer construction, with the coastline’s beaches and waterfront a short ride off; Aventura and Sunny Isles sit right beside it. The City of North Miami Beach publishes official visitor details. One practical note when you hand over an address: North Miami Beach, North Miami just south of it, and the island city over by downtown all sound nearly the same, so spell out the municipality and add the zip beside the street. Miami-Dade also runs on a quadrant grid, so a single house number can land on both an NE and an NW street — leave both letters attached to the number and the car finishes where you’re genuinely staying.
Heading up to North Miami Beach from the port is a straight northbound drive your driver runs frequently. How long it takes depends on the day: a quiet off-peak departure moves briskly, while a heavy disembarkation morning — several ships clearing together and the exit roads jammed — can stretch it out, and midweek commuter traffic adds a little more. Instead of committing to one fixed path into a jam, the driver reads conditions live and picks the clearest lanes. Because the vehicle is private and pulls away the moment your group is aboard, you skip the extra wait a shared van piles on while it fills. Have a firm onward plan — a check-in time, an appointment? Mention it at booking and the pickup is timed around it.
Yes. Book both directions in one reservation and the return is priced at exactly double the one-way fare, with the same driver and rate held for the journey back to Port of Miami. Offer the return date and time, and if your onward schedule shifts, the pickup can be adjusted with at least 24 hours’ notice, subject to availability.

Indico. não sabia o que esperar e superou as expectativas, e não precisou procurar ninguém, o carro tava onde disseram.
My partner and I didn’t want the taxi scramble at PortMiami, so we reserved a private ride to North Miami Beach. An easy, smooth handoff for the two of us from the ship to North Miami Beach. The fare was set up front, no surge because the port was slammed. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
Private, on time, and we didn’t have to think about a thing stepping off the ship. The meet-and-greet at the curb came with the booking, and we found the car with no trouble.
Mi esposa y yo salimos del barco en PortMiami y teníamos un auto privado esperando en la acera de la terminal para llevarnos a North Miami Beach. Para llegar del puerto a North Miami Beach de forma confiable, valió cada peso.
Our group of friends rode together straight from the terminal to North Miami Beach, and nobody had to think about a thing. We got a clear confirmation, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
