Private transfers to or from Port of Miami and Parkland run in a black SUV for up to 5 passengers or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for larger groups, at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle. The ride heads north from the PortMiami cruise terminal into Broward County, with curbside pickup as you step off the ship and door-to-door drop-off in Parkland.
Every fare is flat and per vehicle, set the moment you book and covering your whole group with no surge.
The most direct way is a private point-to-point transfer booked before your cruise. Your driver meets your group curbside as you exit the terminal, holding a name sign when you request one on WhatsApp in advance. There is no ticket line, no shared vehicle, and no waiting for other passengers. Select the black SUV for up to five travelers, the private Sprinter van for six to nine, or the larger private van for ten to fourteen — each has room for cruise luggage, and the driver helps load and unload every bag. From the port the route runs north into Broward County straight to your Parkland address, with door-to-door drop-off at the front door. To book, message the details of your ship, group size, and pickup timing, and you receive driver and vehicle information the day before. It is a single organized pickup built around cruise disembarkation, not a scheduled route.
The whole vehicle is reserved for your group alone — no shared ride and no pooling with strangers. The flat rate is locked when you book, so traffic, demand, and disembark-day crowds never change the price. A bilingual driver (English plus Spanish or Portuguese) handles the journey and helps with every bag, which matters when you are moving a family and a cart of cruise luggage at once. Booking is direct over WhatsApp, so you speak with a real person about your ship, your timing, and any special needs like a pet carrier or an extra bag. That direct line means changes are simple: move a booked pickup time with 24-plus hours notice, subject to availability. For arriving and departing cruise passengers on a tight schedule, a reserved private car with a named driver is a calmer, more predictable start or finish to the journey.
The drive from PortMiami up to Parkland is a straightforward northbound run into Broward County, though the exact minutes depend on the day and hour. Disembarkation mornings are the busiest window: when several ships clear their terminals at once, road traffic around the port thickens and the journey runs longer. Midday and mid-afternoon departures tend to move more freely, and off-peak hours are the smoothest of all. Because the fare is flat, none of this changes what you pay — a longer drive in heavy traffic costs exactly the same as a swift off-peak run. Your driver watches your ship’s arrival and disembark timing, so if the vessel docks late the pickup merely shifts to match, with no penalty and no rebooking. Tell us your target pickup time when you book and we build the schedule around your ship, not a fixed clock.
Parkland is a quiet, green, family-oriented suburb in northwest Broward County, known for its tree-lined streets, broad open parks, and equestrian and country-club character. It is residential and peaceful rather than a nightlife district, which makes it a sought-after home base for families and a peaceful place to unwind before or after a cruise. Golf, tennis, walking trails, and neighborhood parks anchor the local scene, and the wider area offers everyday shopping and dining a short drive from most addresses. You can read more about the community, its parks, and city services on the City of Parkland official website, while golfers can look into tee times and amenities at Parkland Golf & Country Club. Whatever your destination inside Parkland, the drop-off is door-to-door at the exact address you supply.
All three tiers are private and reserved for your group only. Match the vehicle to your headcount and your luggage.
Many addresses in this part of northwest Broward sit inside communities with a manned entrance, and the booth works from a resident list rather than a booking confirmation. Ask your host to add the arrival before you sail, and send us the community name plus the road its visitor entrance faces. Where a gate issues a scannable pass by app, forward that too — it turns a conversation at the callbox into a wave through.
The quoted fare already covers the essentials of the journey. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are built into the price, so nothing is added on the road. A bilingual driver handles the drive and loads and unloads your cruise luggage. Onboard WiFi comes through a mobile hotspot for the ride. Your standard luggage allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, with room set aside for cruise gear — for extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp ahead of time and we confirm the space or size up to a larger van. Small pets journey with advance notice in a pet carrier. Courtesy waiting is included: 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed time and 15 minutes at hotel pickups. Not included are food and drinks, parking costs, unscheduled stops, and the optional driver gratuity, which is consistently appreciated but never required.
Payment is handled 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. A round journey is merely double the one-way price. For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% may be paid to the driver on journey day, cash accepted. Because Parkland sits up in Broward County, a reverse-direction pickup starting there — heading back toward the port or an airport — is paid in full in advance. Cancellations are fully refundable with 24 or more hours notice; within 24 hours of pickup the booking is non-refundable. Book at least 24 hours ahead when you can; under-24-hour requests are still reviewed by hand, though availability is not guaranteed.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM carry no surcharge. Trips scheduled outside that window add a small fee on top of the flat fare.
Here are the questions arriving and departing passengers ask most about the Parkland run, answered directly.
Your pickup is re-timed at no extra cost. The driver monitors your ship’s real arrival and disembark timing, so a late dock simply shifts the pickup to match. There is no rebooking and no penalty — the flat fare you locked at booking stays exactly the same.
The driver waits curbside right outside your PortMiami cruise terminal and meets your group as you exit, holding a name sign when you request one on WhatsApp in advance. Thirty minutes of courtesy waiting is included from the agreed pickup time, so there is no rush as you clear customs and gather bags.
Yes. Your booking confirms once the deposit is received, and the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate are texted to you the day before the trip along with pickup instructions. You book directly over WhatsApp, so a real person answers your questions about ship, timing, and group size.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under five. Each additional child seat carries an extra fee confirmed when you book. Tell us the number and ages of the children on WhatsApp in advance so the right seats are fitted and ready in the vehicle before pickup.
The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, with space reserved for cruise luggage and the driver helping load and unload. For extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the room or size you up to a larger private van.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the single flat price shown in the fares above, whether that is two travelers or a full van. A round trip is simply double the one-way, and a small surcharge applies only for pickups outside daytime hours.
Yes. For a departure heading from Parkland to an airport or back toward the port, the driver monitors your flight or ship timing in real time and adjusts the pickup so a delay does not leave you stranded or rushed. Reverse-direction pickups from Broward are paid in full in advance.

On the outbound run the cruise line’s tags arrive by email with your cabin number on them. Fix them to the handles before the vehicle arrives at your door. Porters take cases straight from the trunk into the ship’s hold, so an unlabeled bag has to be written out by hand while your group waits on the sidewalk with the doors open.
Send your ship name, cruise date, group size, and Parkland address, and we lock your black SUV or private van at the flat rate. Message us on WhatsApp to confirm a pickup to or from Port of Miami and Parkland, and you receive your driver and vehicle details the day before the journey.
