From $385 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Tice, driver to door for your whole cruise group.
Every private Port of Miami ride is priced by the vehicle, not by the head count, and the number is fixed the moment you book. Traffic, demand, or the size of your party never moves it.
Your driver is already at the curb when you step off the ship at the PortMiami cruise terminal. Once you clear the building with your bags, look for the vehicle, or for a name sign if you asked for one over WhatsApp when you booked. There is no app to open and no rideshare lot to search after a long sailing. The day before you journey, we send the driver’s name, the vehicle, and the plate, so you know exactly who is collecting your party. Drivers here work the terminal every week and read the disembarkation crowd, which keeps the pickup orderly even on mornings when several ships empty at once.
From the port the route runs west across the state, following I-75 along the Alligator Alley corridor toward Southwest Florida and the Fort Myers region. This is one of the longer runs we handle, so it helps to plan the day with a little room rather than a tight connection on the other end. Naming a fixed minute count for every pickup does not hold up in practice, because the terminal on a hectic disembarkation morning behaves nothing like a quiet midday departure. Your driver watches how your ship actually clears and sets the pickup around it. Whatever the roads do, the flat fare stays exactly where you locked it.
Tice is a quiet, unincorporated residential community in Lee County, sitting just northeast of Fort Myers in Southwest Florida. It is a place people live rather than a tourist strip, which suits cruise travelers who desire a peaceful base once the ship is behind them. Neighboring Fort Myers rounds out the journey with riverfront dining, shopping, and a historic downtown, while the wider Gulf coast is known for its beaches. Parts of Tice are laid out as manufactured-home or park-style communities, where the interior lanes run narrow and a street name on the mail does not consistently match the map. If that describes your address, send the community name, the lot or unit number, and which gate visitors utilize, so the vehicle can be set down where it turns cleanly instead of reversing a lane. Your driver brings you to the exact door you give us, whether that is a home, a rental, or a business.
Yes, disembarkation-morning pickups are the core of what we do. Book at least 24 hours ahead so your vehicle is reserved, and the driver is in position as you come off the ship. A shorter-notice request is still looked at individually, though same-day space is not something we can promise.
