From $600 per vehicle — a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami’s cruise terminal to your Windermere door.
Every fare below is the flat total for the whole vehicle, fixed the moment you reserve and left untouched by traffic or disembarkation-day demand:
Disembarkation morning sets the pace for the whole ride, so the pickup is built around your ship rather than a fixed clock. Your driver follows the vessel’s real arrival, then waits at the assigned PortMiami cruise terminal as your group clears the gangway. There is no app to open and no van shared with other parties — meet and greet is included, the driver loads the cruise bags, and the car heads for Windermere on one door-to-door run. If you would like a printed name sign held at the curb, add it when you book; that choice runs $40.
Windermere sets aside the noise of the cruise terminal for still, shaded streets threaded between a chain of small lakes — an upscale, mostly residential town where golf and water views set the tone. After a week aboard ship, that unhurried character is much of the appeal. The trip inland is a long one rather than a quick local leg, so treat it as the main stretch of the day. The driver takes you to any address in town — a private home or a vacation rental — with no extra transfer and no rideshare swap to finish the trip.
A lot of homes here sit at the end of gated private lanes, or use a call box that phones the resident before the entrance opens. Ask whoever is hosting you how guests are cleared — a code, a name left on the resident list, or a pass at the entrance — and send that detail along with the street address. A gate that stays shut can hold an otherwise smooth arrival at the curb, so it is worth sorting out before journey day.
Your driver meets your party at the curb of the assigned PortMiami cruise terminal as you come out with your bags. Ask for a name sign in advance and it is held where you exit, an choice that adds $40. The day before the ride, the driver’s name, vehicle, and plate reach you by text so recognition is easy.

Our group of friends booked one van straight from the terminal to Windermere, and nobody had to think about a thing. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to juggle it all.
El grupo entero bajamos del barco juntos y fue muy fácil tener una van privada esperando en la terminal para el viaje a Windermere — sin dividirnos. El conductor se encargó de cada bolso para que no tuviéramos que batallar con todo.
Traveling with the kids, we arranged a private van to meet us at the cruise terminal and take everyone to Windermere. The van was spotless, a relief in the Miami heat. The meet-and-greet at the curb was part of it, and we found the car with no trouble.
Bajamos del barco con los niños y una montaña de maletas, y una van privada esperando en el puerto hizo el viaje a Windermere un paseo. Había una ventana de cortesía desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para juntar las maletas. La tarifa estaba fija desde la reserva, sin subir porque el puerto estaba lleno. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
With kids in tow, arranging a private car from the port to Windermere meant no stress the morning we disembarked. The fare was the number we were quoted, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning. The meet-and-greet at the curb came with the booking, and we found the car with no trouble. Made getting off the ship so easy.
