Book a private black SUV to or from Port of Miami and Bay Harbor Islands at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. A bilingual driver meets your group curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, loads the cruise luggage, and drives door-to-door to the bayfront islands north of Miami Beach — no shared ride, no surge pricing, one price locked the moment you book.
The rate is flat and per vehicle — your whole group rides for one price, chosen by seat count.
Buildings on these islands often ask residents to reserve the freight elevator when several cases are coming in at once, and the desk may need a day’s notice. Arrange it before you sail if your party is large. The driver brings everything to the lobby regardless; the difference is whether it goes upstairs in one trip or in five.
A private point-to-point transfer is the simplest way from the cruise terminal to the islands. Pick the vehicle that fits your party: the black SUV for up to 5 travelers, a private Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or the larger private van for 10 to 14. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead on our website or WhatsApp, tell us your ship and disembark day, and we assign a driver. On arrival, walk out of the PortMiami terminal to the curb, where your driver is waiting — with a name sign if you asked for one. The driver loads every checked bag and carry-on, keeps the cabin climate-controlled, and drives straight to your Bay Harbor Islands address with no stops at other pickups. Because it is a private car, there is no waiting for strangers, no shared route, and no detours. One booking covers the door-to-door ride both directions if you add the return.
Three private vehicle tiers cover cruise parties of any size, each reserved solely for your group with room for suitcases.
The ride from PortMiami to Bay Harbor Islands is one of the shorter cruise transfers on the Miami side, running north from the terminal to the bayfront islands. Actual journey time depends on the day and hour. Off-peak, the drive moves rapidly and door-to-door. On busy disembarkation mornings, when several ships empty their passengers around the same window, merely clearing the terminal and the port roads can add time before the open drive north begins. Your driver plans around that pattern rather than fighting it, and because we track your ship’s timing, the pickup is set to when you actually walk out — not a guessed clock. Courtesy waiting of 30 minutes from the agreed pickup time covers the normal shuffle of luggage and customs, so a slightly slow exit never costs you the ride. The flat fare stays the same whether the roads are clear or crowded.
A private vehicle is reserved for your group alone, so you never share the ride or the route with strangers. The fare is flat and locked when you book — traffic, demand, or a crowded cruise day never changes it. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the arrival for international travelers. You reach us directly on WhatsApp before and during the journey, and the driver’s name, vehicle model, and license plate arrive by text the day before pickup, so there is no guessing who to look for at the curb. The driver helps load and unload every cruise bag, keeps onboard WiFi running through a mobile hotspot, and drives straight to your door. With more than five years in operation and 24/7 year-round availability, the service is built around cruise schedules — early sailings, late returns, and the luggage that comes with both.
Bay Harbor Islands is a pair of quiet, upscale residential islands sitting in the bay just west of the ocean beaches, near Bal Harbour and Surfside. Kane Concourse, the main street, threads boutiques, cafes, galleries, and waterfront dining through low-key, walkable blocks — a peaceful, polished contrast to the buzz of South Beach. The neighborhood leans toward well-kept homes, small businesses, and simple access to neighboring shopping and sand, making it a favorite base for travelers who desire the beach close but the pace slow. For an overview of the area’s character and things to see, browse the Bay Harbor Islands neighborhood guide before you arrive.
Travelers often base themselves right on the islands or in the neighboring Bal Harbour and Surfside areas for quick beach access and quieter streets. If you want more nightlife, the wider Miami Beach area is close by. We drop you at whatever address you give us on the islands — door-to-door, no shared stops.
The islands offer boutique shopping and waterfront dining along Kane Concourse, plus easy reach to the beaches, upscale retail, and dining of the surrounding Bal Harbour and Surfside coast. It suits travelers who want ocean nearby with a residential, unhurried feel rather than a crowded resort strip. Your driver takes you straight to any local address.
The flat rate covers the private vehicle for your group, the bilingual driver, and all tolls, SunPass, and fuel — nothing extra is tacked on for the road. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, and the driver loads and unloads your cruise luggage. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp when carried in a pet carrier. The first child seat is free for a child under 5; each additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking, so share your children’s ages and seat count when you reserve. Courtesy waiting is included — 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed pickup time, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups. Cancel with 24 or more hours notice for a full refund; within 24 hours of pickup the booking is non-refundable.
The rate does not include food or drinks, driver gratuity (optional and appreciated), parking fees, or unscheduled stops. A short nearby stop arranged in advance can be accommodated, and a small fee may apply. Extra waiting past the courtesy window is billed in 30-minute blocks. Card or payment-link transactions carry a 4% bank fee.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent by WhatsApp or on the website; card and link payments carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A round journey is merely double the one-way fare. Book at least 24 hours ahead so we can confirm your driver and vehicle; an under-24-hour request is still reviewed by hand, though availability is not guaranteed. You can move a confirmed pickup time with 24 or more hours notice, subject to availability.
For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% goes to the driver on trip day, with cash fine for that balance. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas such as Broward and Palm Beach require full payment in advance.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Pickups scheduled outside that window carry a small night charge by vehicle type.
Your driver monitors your ship’s arrival and disembark timing, so a late dock costs you nothing extra. The pickup is automatically re-timed to when you actually clear the terminal — no re-booking, no lost fare. Courtesy waiting also covers 30 minutes at the terminal from the agreed pickup time.
Your driver waits curbside right at the PortMiami cruise terminal as your group walks out, holding a name sign if you request one on WhatsApp beforehand. Message us once you clear customs and the driver pulls up, then helps load your cruise luggage for the door-to-door ride to the islands.
Yes. Disembarkation-day pickups are the core of what we do, available 24/7 year-round. Book at least 24 hours ahead so your driver, vehicle, and plate are confirmed and texted the day before. Even when several ships empty at once, your flat fare stays locked and the pickup is timed to your exit.
Each passenger brings 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, and there is room for cruise luggage. The black SUV suits up to 5 travelers with bags; the private Sprinter vans hold larger groups and more gear. Have extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price shown above. A round trip is simply double the one-way. The fare is locked when you book, so traffic, a busy cruise day, or demand never changes what you pay.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under 5. Each additional seat carries a small fee confirmed when you book, so tell us your children’s ages and seat count on WhatsApp in advance and we install the seats before pickup, ready in the vehicle when you arrive.
Reserve on our secure website or over WhatsApp and you receive booking confirmation, then your driver’s name, vehicle, and plate by text the day before. Pay through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link. You get real-time updates on pickup timing right through to trip day, so nothing is left to chance.

Access to a residential island runs through a manned entrance where arriving vehicles are checked before they reach any building. Leave your name and the expected day with the guardhouse, and send us the building name plus your unit. It converts the last stage of the journey into a wave-through rather than a phone call from the barrier.

Fiz a reserva ainda no lobby do hotel, levamos meus pais junto, não precisei pensar, so entrar no carro e chegar. chegamos às 23h e o carro já tava lá. Feliz por ter escolhido essa opção. (éramos 8 na van e ainda sobrou espaço)
Vale a pena. chegou na hora mesmo com trânsito. trajeto suave do meio-fio ate o terminal de cruzeiros. Recomendo sem pensar duas vezes.
