Private black car transportation to or from Port of Miami and Tice runs as a door-to-door cruise transfer in a private Black SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle. Your driver meets your group curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, then drives west across Florida via I-75, the Alligator Alley route, to the Tice community near Fort Myers, with room for every cruise bag.
Every private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Tice is priced per vehicle, not per person, and the flat rate locks in the moment you book.
If the address here sits inside a manufactured-home or park-style community, the internal lanes are narrow, sometimes one-way, and the street name on the mail does not always appear on a map. Send the community name, the lot or unit number, and which entrance is open to visitors. The van is then set down where it can actually turn rather than reversing the length of a lane.
The most practical way to reach Tice from the cruise terminal is a private point-to-point transfer sized to your group. Start by matching the vehicle to your party: a private Black SUV or SUV XL for up to five passengers, a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to nine, or the larger Sprinter for ten to fourteen travelers. Book at least 24 hours ahead by WhatsApp or through the website, and we reserve that vehicle for your party alone. On cruise day, your driver is already positioned curbside as you step off the ship, loads the cruise luggage, and drives you straight to your Tice address with no shared stops and no transfers along the way. Door to door, one vehicle, one group. Because the fare is fixed at booking, the price you agree to is the price you pay, whether the port is quiet or three ships are unloading at once.
A private vehicle reserved for your group is the difference between a seamless exit and a stressful scramble after a long cruise. The rate is flat and locked at booking, so there is no surge pricing, no meter, and no change for traffic or demand. Your bilingual driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which helps families and international travelers coordinate the pickup with ease. There is no shared ride and no waiting for strangers to fill seats: the SUV or van is yours. You reach us directly on WhatsApp to arrange details, request a name sign, or flag extra bags, and the driver helps load and unload your cruise luggage at both ends. For arriving and departing cruise passengers juggling tight terminal schedules and heavy suitcases, that direct, private handling keeps the transfer simple.
Our drivers work the cruise-terminal routine daily and know how the disembarkation crush flows. Each is bilingual, licensed and insured, and reachable through the WhatsApp thread you booked on. The day before your trip we text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate, so you know exactly who is meeting you when you walk out.
The Port of Miami to Tice run is one of our longer cross-state transfers, heading west from the coast toward Southwest Florida and the Fort Myers region. Rather than quote a figure we cannot verify for your exact pickup, we plan the journey around real conditions on the day. A midday, off-peak departure moves smoothly along the cross-state interstate corridor once you clear the port region. The heaviest delays come right at the terminal on hectic disembarkation mornings, when several ships unload together and the surrounding roads back up before the highway opens out. Your driver watches your ship’s actual off-boarding time and sets the pickup accordingly, so you are not sitting in the vehicle burning the clock. Whatever the traffic does, the flat fare does not move, and there is no rush to cut the ride short.
It can, mostly near the port itself. When multiple ships debark on the same morning, the terminal exits and nearby streets move slowly before the highway clears. Because your driver re-times the pickup to your ship’s real off-boarding, you avoid the worst of that crush, and the fixed fare never changes no matter how the roads behave.
Tice is a laid-back residential community in Lee County, sitting just northeast of Fort Myers in Southwest Florida. The region itself is suburban and quiet, more a place people live and stay than a tourist strip, which suits cruise travelers who desire a peaceful base after the ship. Neighboring Fort Myers rounds out the journey with riverfront dining, shopping, and a historic downtown district, while the wider Gulf coast region is known for its beaches and outdoor scene. Your private transfer drops you exactly at the door you offer us, whether that is a home, a stay, or a business address in the community.
Tice is an unincorporated residential community with a relaxed, everyday feel, close to Fort Myers amenities without the coastal crowds.
Travelers who want to be close typically look at the surrounding Fort Myers area and the broader Southwest Florida Gulf coast, which offer everything from riverfront districts to beachside neighborhoods. We drop you at whatever address you provide in or around Tice, so you are free to choose your area first and simply give us the door.
The flat rate covers the full private ride and the costs that usually surprise travelers. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built into the price, so nothing is added mid-route for the roads you utilize. Your bilingual driver meets the group curbside and helps load and unload the cruise luggage at both ends. The fare also includes courtesy waiting: 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from your agreed pickup time, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups, with any longer wait billed in 30-minute blocks. Because the vehicle is reserved for your party, there are no shared stops and no detours to collect other passengers. Everything essential to getting your group from the PortMiami terminal to your Tice address in one private vehicle is already in the quoted price you lock at booking.
Driver gratuity is optional and always appreciated but never included. Food and beverages, parking costs, and unscheduled stops sit outside the fare as well. A short nearby stop arranged in advance can usually be accommodated, though a small fee may apply. Anything not listed in the inclusions is simply not part of the price.
The first child seat is free for a child under five; each additional seat carries a small extra fee confirmed at booking, so request them when you reserve. Onboard WiFi comes via a mobile hotspot. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website; card and link payments carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted, though the balance owed on journey day can be handed to your driver in cash. A round journey is merely double the one-way fare, booked as one reservation covering both legs. Because the rate is fixed per vehicle, the total you approve at booking is the total for the journey, with no meter and no surge added later. We confirm every amount in writing before you pay anything, so the numbers are settled well before your driver ever pulls up to the terminal.
A pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side confirms with a 50% deposit, and the remaining 50% may be paid to your driver on trip day, cash accepted. A reverse pickup from Tice, out in the Southwest Florida region, requires full payment in advance to lock the vehicle.
Three private vehicle tiers cover every cruise group, and each is reserved solely for your party — never shared.
Pickups scheduled outside our daytime window of 7 AM to 6 PM carry a small after-hours surcharge, added just once per journey on top of the flat fare.
Nothing changes for you, and you pay no penalty. Your driver tracks your ship’s arrival and disembarkation in real time, then re-times the curbside pickup automatically when the vessel docks late. The flat rate stays locked, and 30 minutes of courtesy waiting at the terminal is already built into the booking.
Your driver meets your group curbside right as you exit the PortMiami cruise terminal, holding a name sign if you request one on WhatsApp in advance. The day before the journey, we text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate, so you know exactly who and what to look for.
Yes. Disembarkation-day pickups are our core service, and we recommend booking at least 24 hours ahead so your vehicle is reserved. An under-24-hour request is still reviewed manually, though same-day availability is not guaranteed. A booked pickup time can be moved with 24 or more hours’ notice, subject to availability.
Each passenger travels with 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, and there is room for cruise luggage in every SUV and Sprinter van. Have extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the journey, and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van.
Per vehicle, consistently. Your whole group rides for one flat price set by the vehicle, not a per-head charge, so a family of five pays the same SUV rate whether one or five people travel. A round journey is merely double the one-way fare, and nothing is added for each extra passenger.
Yes. Beyond this Tice route, we run private transfers from the PortMiami cruise terminal to Miami International (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL) airports, booked as their own journey. The same private SUV and Sprinter vans apply, with your fare locked at booking. Message us on WhatsApp to set up that leg.

The alternative to a booked transfer is a car left in the terminal garage for every night of the sailing, plus the drive back across the state at the end of a week aboard. Some travelers still prefer that, and it is a fair choice. It is worth putting the two options side by side before assuming the car is simpler.
Lock in your private Port of Miami to Tice transfer at least 24 hours ahead by WhatsApp or through the website, and we confirm your vehicle right away. The day before your cruise, we text your driver’s name, make, and plate with pickup instructions, so everything is set before you step off the ship. Send us your ship, date, group size, and Tice address to get started.
