Private black-car transportation to or from Port of Miami and Miami Lakes runs at a flat rate from $140 per vehicle, in a Black SUV for up to 5 passengers or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for larger groups. The route follows I-95 and the Palmetto Expressway (SR-826), with a bilingual driver, curbside cruise-terminal pickup, and room for every cruise bag.
Fares are flat and charged per vehicle, so your whole group rides for one price with no surge and no traffic add-on.
This town was laid out with bends and cul-de-sacs rather than a grid, so a road can cross itself in name twice and a satellite view rarely shows which arm you live on. Give us the address with its ZIP and a pin dropped on the driveway. Where your street has a north and a south leg, say which one, because the difference is a full lap.
The simplest way is a private door-to-door transfer booked ahead, matched to your group size. Pick the Black SUV for up to 5 travelers, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or the larger van for 10 to 14. Once your ship clears customs, your driver is already waiting curbside at the cruise terminal, helps load the bags, and drives straight to your Miami Lakes address — no line, no transfer point, no second vehicle. There is generous cargo space for suitcases, so a full family disembarking together fits comfortably. The pickup is one spotless handoff: you walk out, find your driver, and go. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead so the vehicle, timing, and terminal instructions are set before you sail.
Message us on WhatsApp or the website with your ship, sailing date, disembark time, group size, and Miami Lakes address. Book 24+ hours ahead for confirmed availability; under-24-hour requests are reviewed manually. You can move a booked pickup time with 24+ hours notice, subject to availability.
Each passenger is covered for 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, and the vehicles are sized with room for cruise luggage. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or move you up to a larger van before your trip.
Three private tiers cover every cruise group, all reserved for your party alone with no shared seating.
The ride to Miami Lakes is a straightforward run through northwest Miami-Dade, quicker when roads are light and slower during rush hours. Disembarkation mornings are the busiest stretch, particularly when several ships empty at once and the terminal roads fill with departing passengers — anticipate the drive to stretch a bit in that window. Off-peak, midday, and evening departures move faster. Whatever the traffic does, your fare never changes: the flat per-vehicle price is locked at booking, so a slow crawl or a delayed exit costs you nothing extra. Because the timing depends on how numerous ships are in port and the hour you clear customs, we plan the pickup around your actual disembark time rather than a fixed clock. Your driver keeps an eye on your ship so the vehicle is curbside when you walk out, not before and not late.
Every ride is a private vehicle reserved for your group only — no strangers, no pooling, no waiting for other passengers to board. The rate is flat and locked the moment you book, so demand and traffic never push the price up. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which makes coordinating a busy disembark morning far easier for international families. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp before and during the journey, not an app queue, so a schedule change is a swift message. Drivers help load and unload cruise luggage at both ends, and the day before your journey you receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate with pickup instructions. It is built specifically around cruise passengers moving with children, tight schedules, and a lot of bags.
The rate includes onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, so the group stays connected on the ride. The first child seat is free for a child under 5; each additional child seat carries an extra fee confirmed at booking, so tell us your car-seat needs when you reserve. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier. Driver details arrive by text the day before your journey. Not included in the price: food and drinks, driver gratuity (optional and appreciated), parking costs, and unscheduled stops — though a short nearby stop arranged in advance can commonly be accommodated, sometimes with a small fee. Cancellations made 24+ hours before pickup are fully refunded; within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable.
Yes to both. A small pet rides in its carrier with advance notice on WhatsApp. The first child seat is free for a child under 5; each additional seat has an extra fee confirmed when you book. Just list every car seat and passenger age at reservation so the right vehicle is ready.
Miami Lakes is a master-planned town in northwest Miami-Dade, laid out around man-made lakes, tree-lined streets, and quiet residential loops. Its walkable Main Street district gathers restaurants, cafés, shops, and a golf course, giving the region a calmer, suburban feel distinct from the downtown high-rises near the port. Business parks and corporate offices draw plenty of work travelers, while families come for the parks and easy pace. For a fuller look at the neighborhood’s shops, dining, and character, see the official Miami Lakes neighborhood guide. Whether you are heading home after a sailing or arriving for a stay, the door-to-door drop-off puts you right at your address.
Miami Lakes itself offers a quiet, residential base close to golf and the Main Street district, well away from the port crowds. Some travelers prefer to stay closer to the water or downtown, near the Brickell area or the airport corridor. Wherever you land, we drive door to door to your exact address.
The town centers on its Main Street area, with dining, shops, cafés, and a golf course inside a leafy, lake-dotted layout. Surrounding it are parks, corporate offices, and easy suburban roads. It is a relaxed contrast to the cruise terminal, which is why arriving passengers often settle in here after a sailing.
Payment is by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent via WhatsApp or the website; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee. Full cash at pickup is not accepted. A round journey is merely double the one-way price. For pickups starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% can be paid to the driver on journey day, cash included. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas such as Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond require full payment in advance. Once your deposit is in and the journey is set, your driver’s name, vehicle, and plate are texted the day before so you know exactly who is meeting you.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your entire group rides for the single flat price shown above. Five travelers in the SUV or fourteen in the large van pay the same one fare for that vehicle, with no headcount charge added at pickup.
For a Miami-side pickup starting at PortMiami, a 50% deposit locks the booking and the other 50% goes to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Pickups from farther areas like Broward or Palm Beach are paid in full up front. Venmo, Zelle, and a secure link are all accepted.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge; trips outside that window carry a small overnight fee.
Your driver tracks your ship’s arrival and disembark timing in real time, so a late dock is merely re-timed at no extra cost — you do not re-book or pay again. Courtesy waiting covers 30 minutes at the terminal from the agreed pickup time; the vehicle is ready when you actually walk out.
Your driver meets your group curbside right at the cruise terminal as you exit, holding a name sign if you request one on WhatsApp in advance. They help load your cruise luggage and head straight to Miami Lakes. You obtain the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate by text the day before to find them speedy.
Yes. Beyond the Miami Lakes run, we drive private point-to-point transfers from the cruise terminal to Miami International Airport (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. It is the same flat per-vehicle rate, the same curbside pickup, and the same luggage help — just tell us your flight time and terminal when you book.
Book 24+ hours ahead and your transfer is confirmed with vehicle and terminal instructions set. Under-24-hour requests are reviewed manually, though availability isn’t guaranteed. The day before your journey, we text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate with pickup details, so you know exactly who and what to look for.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Cruise companies operate several ships whose names differ by a single word, and it is the individual vessel that determines the building and the clearance time. Write the ship exactly as your booking shows it and add the sailing date underneath. That pairing tells us where to be and when far more reliably than the company name on its own.
Send us your ship name, sailing date, disembark time, group size, and Miami Lakes address, and we will lock your vehicle and flat rate. Message us on WhatsApp for the fastest reply, confirm your deposit, and your driver details arrive the day before you sail. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead to secure your pickup.

Funcionou bem: primeira vez arrumando o traslado antes, tranquilo, ritmo calmo, ideal com criança, escolheria esse antes do shuttle do hotel!
Viajando sozinho dessa vez, viraram meu contato fixo pra Miami.
Sem perrengue: conduziu com cuidado e atenção, primeiro cruzeiro e a ida ao porto foi tranquila, rodovia tranquila, sem freadas bruscas.
