Private black-car service runs to or from Port of Miami and Gladeview at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle, in a Black SUV for up to 5 passengers or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for larger cruise groups. Your named driver meets you curb-side at the PortMiami cruise terminal, loads the luggage, and drives door-to-door — one fixed price locked at booking, with no surge for traffic or demand.
The fare is flat and per vehicle, locked the moment you book — your whole group rides for one price with no surge.
Multi-family houses on these blocks are often subdivided, with a rear unit sharing the same number as the front one and its own path down the side. Give the unit letter and say which entrance yours is — road-facing, rear, upstairs. That one line means the bags are set down at your door rather than a neighbor’s, which matters on an early morning.
The simplest way is a private door-to-door transfer reserved for your group alone. Pick the Black SUV if you are a couple, a family, or up to five travelers; step up to a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van when your party runs 6 to 9 or 10 to 14. The vehicle waits curb-side at the cruise terminal, so you walk off the ship, meet your driver, and roll straight to Gladeview with no transfers and no waiting for other passengers. There is generous room for cruise luggage, and the driver helps load and unload every bag before dropping you at the exact address you give. One private vehicle, one flat price, one direct journey.
Your driver meets you curb-side as you exit the PortMiami cruise terminal, holding a name sign when you request one on WhatsApp ahead of time. Message us your terminal and disembark time and we point you to the exact pickup spot, so there is no wandering with your bags.
Send your date, terminal, group size, and drop-off address by WhatsApp, email, or the website. A 50% deposit confirms the booking, and the day before your journey we text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate with pickup instructions. Book 24+ hours ahead; shorter requests are reviewed manually.
The vehicle is reserved for your group only — never shared, never pooled. Your fare is fixed the moment you book, so a crowded disembark morning or a hectic holiday weekend never changes the number you agreed to. The driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the arrival for international cruise travelers. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp before and during the journey, so plans stay flexible if your ship or your group runs behind. Bags are the driver’s job, not yours: every checked bag and carry-on is loaded and unloaded for you, and there is room for cruise luggage in both the SUV and the vans. It is a organized, private ride built specifically around walking off a ship with luggage and a schedule, not a generic point-to-point car hire.
The price is per vehicle, not per person. Everyone in your party rides for the single flat fare shown above, so a family of five in the SUV pays the same as one traveler. Larger groups simply move up to the 6-9 or 10-14 private van tier.
Gladeview sits a short, local drive from the PortMiami cruise terminal, well within the Miami metro area. Because the run stays inside the city rather than heading up the coast, it is one of the quicker transfers we handle from the port. Real time on the road depends on the day and the hour: off-peak mornings and mid-days flow smoothly, while weekday rush hours and heavy disembark mornings — particularly when three or more ships empty at once — move slower as terminal exits and city streets fill. Your flat fare never moves with that traffic, so a slow stretch of road costs you nothing extra. Your driver watches the ship’s arrival and disembark timing and sets out to reach you when you actually clear the terminal, not on a rigid clock, which keeps the door-to-door journey as tight as the roads permit that day.
Gladeview is a residential, working neighborhood in the urban core of Miami-Dade County, made up of quiet streets, local churches, family homes, and everyday businesses rather than tourist strips. It has a down-to-earth, community feel, with corner shops, small eateries, and green space woven between the housing. Green space includes the county-run Gladeview Park, a local spot for recreation and neighborhood gatherings, while Gladeview Christian School anchors part of the area’s community life. Its central position keeps the rest of Miami’s attractions, business districts, and coastline within simple reach of a car, which is exactly what a private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Gladeview is built for.
Gladeview itself is mainly residential, so most cruise travelers base themselves in nearby Miami districts and ride in. The Downtown and Brickell areas offer the closest concentration of city lodging, while the Wynwood and Airport-corridor areas suit travelers who want quick access. We drive you door-to-door to whichever address you choose.
Around Gladeview you will find local parks, neighborhood churches, schools, and small family-run businesses that give the area its community character. Beyond the immediate streets, central Miami’s museums, shopping, dining, and waterfront are all a short car ride away, which makes a private transfer the practical way to reach them with luggage.
Your flat, per-vehicle rate already covers the essentials, so the number you book is the number you pay.
Not included are food and drinks, parking costs, and driver gratuity, which is optional but always appreciated. Unscheduled stops are not part of the base fare, though a short stop arranged in advance can be accommodated for a small fee. Each additional child seat beyond the first also carries a fee confirmed at booking.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier. For families, the first child seat is free for a child under five; each additional seat carries an extra fee confirmed when you book. Tell us ages and party size and we set the vehicle up before pickup.
The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and both the SUV and the vans have room for cruise luggage. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van.
Payment is by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent through WhatsApp or 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, booked as one reservation. For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the journey and the remaining 50% can be paid to the driver on journey day, cash accepted. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas such as Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond are paid in full in advance. Cancellations made 24 or more hours before pickup are fully refunded; within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable.
Yes. Book your return in the same reservation and the price is simply double the one-way fare — no separate booking fee. We hold the same private vehicle class for both legs, and you can move a booked pickup time with 24+ hours notice, subject to availability. Tell us your ship’s return date up front.
Every vehicle is private and reserved for your group only — pick by party size and luggage.
Yes. Beyond Gladeview, we drive cruise passengers straight from the PortMiami terminal to Miami International Airport in the same private SUV or van. The driver meets you curb-side, loads your luggage, and delivers you to your departure terminal on one flat, per-vehicle fare. Share your flight time and we plan the pickup around it.
Yes. We handle private drop-offs from the Miami cruise terminal to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International as well, keeping your group together in one reserved vehicle. The price is flat and locked at booking, tolls and fuel included, so a longer coastal run never triggers a surge. Give us your flight to time the pickup right.
If your ship docks late, your pickup is re-timed at no extra cost — the driver tracks the ship’s arrival and disembark timing and adjusts automatically. Courtesy waiting covers 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed pickup time; hotel pickups feature 15 minutes. Extra waiting beyond that is billed in 30-minute blocks.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips that begin outside that window carry a small after-hours fee, which is added on top of the flat fare shown above.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

The group you are assigned to leave in is not fixed in stone: during the voyage the desk can usually move a booking into an earlier or later batch when there is space. Deal with it before the last night. Once you have the revised slot in writing, send it over and the collection is rescheduled without any fuss at our end.
