From $110 per vehicle — a private one-way black car ride from Port of Miami to West Perrine, door to door with your own driver.
Each price below covers the whole vehicle for a one-way run between the cruise terminal and your door, fixed the moment you book and unaffected by traffic.
Once your ship ties up at PortMiami and you clear customs, your driver is already positioned at the terminal curb as you step out with your bags. Meet-and-greet comes with the booking, so there is no app to open and no rideshare lot to search. Ask ahead on WhatsApp and the driver will hold a name sign at the exit for a $40 add-on, which keeps the handoff simple after a long sailing. The driver lifts the cruise luggage into the vehicle, and the ride begins the moment everyone is settled.
Getting off the port means reaching the mainland first, either through the tunnel beneath the shipping channel or across the bridge that lands on Biscayne Boulevard downtown. On a morning when several ships empty together, that opening stretch off the island is frequently the slowest part of the journey, so the driver takes whichever exit is moving when the vehicle loads. From there the route runs south through Miami-Dade County toward the neighborhood, heading straight to your address with no shared stops. Because the fare is set per vehicle, a heavier or lighter traffic day never shifts the one-way price you agreed to.
West Perrine is a settled residential district in the southern part of Miami-Dade County — quiet blocks shaded by palms, family-run shops, small parks, and local churches that lend the area a real hometown feel. Everyday life here turns on those small businesses and gathering spots, and ongoing local investment keeps renewing the storefronts along its main roads. For more on the area’s history and current projects, the county’s West Perrine redevelopment board and the local redevelopment agency both track what is under way across the community.
Numbered streets repeat across south Miami-Dade, and the same number can sit on several nearby roads, each with its own compass prefix and suffix. Pass along the full address line exactly as it appears on your reservation or a relative’s mail — prefix, number, suffix, ZIP, and any unit number. That single detail is what turns the drop-off into your actual door in West Perrine rather than a nearby corner.

Pontuais e atenciosos. não tive que ficar ligando pra achar.
We got off the ship with the kids and a mountain of luggage, and a private van there at the terminal made the run to West Perrine so easy. For a stress-free way to get from the port to West Perrine, it was money well spent. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out when we walked out.
Our whole crew came off the ship together and it was so easy to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to West Perrine — no splitting up. It was only us in the car — nobody else to wait on — which was so much nicer than piling in with strangers. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to juggle it all.
There were seven of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to West Perrine was far simpler than splitting into cars. Booking was quick, we got a solid confirmation, and everything lined up perfectly. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was ours when we walked out.
Un gran comienzo para llegar a casa — resuelto de la acera a la puerta. El auto estaba limpio, fresco y cómodo, un alivio con el calor de Miami.
