Nine northbound runs leave the PortMiami cruise terminals for Aventura and the top end of Miami-Dade, starting at $80 per vehicle and reaching Aventura in roughly 43 to 53 minutes once your wave is called. Every row is a private hire: one booking, one car, your party and its suitcases and nobody else, timed to the moment you actually walk off rather than to a posted schedule. Fares step up with distance, so the close-in drops around Miami Shores and El Portal sit at the floor while Aventura and Miami Gardens sit a band above. Neighborhood background lives on the Greater Miami visitor guide.

Send the ship name, the walk-off date and a head count to the reservations thread on WhatsApp. Half the quoted fare, paid by card link or Zelle, holds the vehicle for that morning; the driver collects what remains in cash once you are at the door. Messages sent from a ship’s onboard Wi-Fi are handled the same as any other, and the thread stays open until you are seated.
Collection happens on the terminal side rather than at some off-site lot. Once your group has its bags and is through the hall, a message brings the car into the assigned pickup lane. Berth assignments shift from sailing to sailing, and PortMiami posts which ship is working which terminal on the day. Since nobody else is riding, a slow customs queue costs you the wait and nothing more.
As soon as you are physically outside with your luggage. Ships release guests in waves across the morning, so the driver works from your message instead of the printed arrival hour. Send word when you join the disembarkation queue and the car is in the lane by the time you reach the curb.
Yes. The north-Dade lanes are covered around the clock, which matters for self-assist walk-offs before sunrise and for evening collections after a late gangway. Overnight hours can carry a surcharge; it is quoted alongside the fare in the chat before any deposit changes hands, never bolted on afterwards.
