From $240 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Westgate, with a driver who meets you at the cruise terminal.
One flat figure covers the whole vehicle and every bag your group carried off the ship, so the number holds no matter how full the seats are. Choose the tier that matches your party size:
Pickup happens right at the cruise terminal, not in a distant rideshare lot. Once your ship clears and you step off with your luggage, the driver is already positioned curbside, ready to load the bags and pull away. Meet and greet is part of the booking, so there is no app to open and no scramble to find a stranger among the disembarking crowd. Ask ahead on WhatsApp for a name sign and the driver holds one for a $40 charge, which makes spotting each other simple in a hectic morning rush. From the moment you reach the curb, the car stays reserved for your group alone, with room for the extra bags that pile up after a week at sea.
PortMiami runs several separate cruise terminal buildings, and the one your line uses is assigned sailing by sailing, so last season’s berth is no guide to this week’s. Send the ship name and the disembarkation date when you book, and the driver is routed to the exact building for that morning rather than guessing from the cruise line alone. That small detail keeps the pickup clean even on mornings when three or four ships empty at once.
Westgate is a settled residential community in central Palm Beach County, sitting just west of downtown West Palm Beach. It reads as everyday streets, family homes, small eateries and neighborhood shopping rather than a tourist strip, so arriving cruisers trade terminal crowds for a quiet local pace. The wider West Palm Beach region, with its restaurants and entertainment, sits a short drive from most Westgate addresses. Whether the journey ends at a relative’s door or a place you are basing yourself between sailings, the driver drops you at the exact address you give. That makes it a straightforward end point, with no second ride or connection to arrange once the port is behind you.
The exact minutes shift with your disembarkation wave and how heavy the roads leaving the terminal are that morning. Cruise passengers are released in groups, and a first-wave, pre-breakfast exit often meets slower traffic around the port than a midday pickup. The driver plans your pickup around the ship’s real disembark time, then takes a direct, door-to-door route to Westgate so the time on the road stays as short as the day allows.
Yes, and it is the most common request on this route. Book the pickup for shortly after your scheduled debark, and the driver is in position when your group reaches the curb. If several ships clear PortMiami at the same time, the reserved car still waits and the fare stays fixed, so a hectic morning does not change what you pay for the ride to Westgate.
Yes. Beyond the cruise terminal, the same private SUV or van links Westgate with Miami International Airport, and other airports and cities can be arranged on request. It is the identical flat, per-vehicle rate and the same door-to-door, one-way service in either direction, booked the same way over WhatsApp.

The two of us booked a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t deal with the port crowds on the way to Westgate. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was ours when we walked out. The meet-and-greet at the curb came with the booking, and we found the car with no trouble.
First time cruising on my own out of PortMiami, and having a private car waiting at the terminal for the trip to Westgate took the worry away. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so I never had to rush to gather the bags.
A few friends and I came off the ship together and booked one private van from the cruise terminal to Westgate. We’ve already booked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
Ao descer do navio sem companhia, a última coisa que eu queria era brigar por um carro no porto, então tinha um traslado privativo combinado para me levar até Westgate. Na noite anterior recebi uma texto com o nome do motorista e a placa, então não havia nada para resolver ao sair. Descendo do navio por conta própria, me senti totalmente tranquilo do terminal até Westgate.
