From $340 per vehicle — a private, one-way ride from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to Pine Ridge, booked door to door.
Each fare is a flat, per-vehicle price fixed the moment you reserve, so the whole group travels for one figure with no meter and no surge pricing on a busy cruise morning.
Pickups begin curbside at the Port of Miami cruise terminal, right where you step out with your bags — not in a far parking structure you reach on foot. Meet and greet comes standard, and a name-sign welcome can be added for $40 so your ride is simple to spot in the disembarkation crowd. A swift WhatsApp message as you clear the ship and head for the exit lets the driver line up the timing, load the cruise luggage, and have you settled in a cooled vehicle within minutes.
Pine Ridge is a peaceful residential community, the tree-lined, low-key sort of place where the pace loosens as soon as you arrive. Its streets stay quiet, given over mostly to houses and day-to-day neighborhood life instead of crowds or high-rises, which makes Pine Ridge a simple landing after the motion and noise of a sailing. The task here is simple: carry you and every bag from the ship straight to your Pine Ridge door, so your first task is unpacking rather than chasing down a ride.
A major road along this stretch of coast carries almost the same name as the Pine Ridge neighborhood, and mapping apps will occasionally suggest both. The fix is simple: give the driver the full street address and its ZIP code instead of just the area name, plus a nearby cross street if your host named one. That one detail settles any mix-up well before the vehicle pulls away from the terminal.
This is a plain highway drive, and the actual time on the road hangs on cruise-day conditions more than any fixed number. Disembarkation pushes passengers out in waves, so when several ships empty at once even leaving the terminal can stretch out; a later, quieter pickup usually flows better than one at the mid-morning peak. The pickup is scheduled around when your ship is genuinely cleared, not a hopeful estimate, and the driver allows for loading the bags before the drive begins.
Yes — a same-day disembarkation pickup is the whole point of this ride. Share your ship name when you book, and the driver watches its arrival to be curbside as you come off the ship. Even on a busy multi-ship morning at the Port of Miami, the reserved vehicle is waiting rather than something you chase.

Viajando solo esta vez, el viaje anterior tomamos shuttle, esto fue otro nivel.
Cumplieron al 100%. No tuvimos que cargar una sola maleta.
We cruised with a group of friends and wanted the whole group in one private ride to Pine Ridge after disembarking. The van was fresh and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
So glad I pre-booked — a smooth, easy handoff, zero stress at the terminal. It was just me in the car — no one else’s stops — which was so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
The two of us arranged a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t deal with the port crowds on the way to Pine Ridge. No rideshare app to fight with — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
