Our private cruise transfer runs to or from Port of Miami and Richmond West in a black SUV or private van, at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle. The ride heads southwest across Miami-Dade to your Richmond West door, with a bilingual driver meeting your group curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal — luggage loaded, no surge, no shared seats.
Fares are per vehicle for the whole group and locked the moment you book — the number you see is the number you pay, whatever the traffic or demand.
The simplest way is a private door-to-door transfer booked before your cruise. You pick the vehicle by group size — a black SUV for up to 5, a private van for 6-9, or a larger private van for 10-14 — and reserve it in advance. On the day you disembark, your driver is already at the terminal, so there is no line to join and no app to open. The pickup is curbside, right where passengers exit the ship, and there is room for cruise luggage plus carry-ons. Your driver helps load the bags, then drives straight to your Richmond West address with a single drop-off. To book, message us on WhatsApp or use the website with your ship name, arrival date, group size, and Richmond West address, and we confirm the vehicle and pickup plan.
Book at least 24 hours ahead so we can confirm the right vehicle for your group. A request inside 24 hours is still reviewed by hand, though availability is not guaranteed. Already booked? A confirmed pickup time can be moved with 24+ hours notice, subject to availability.
You obtain a private vehicle reserved for your group alone, with a flat rate locked at booking and no surge pricing. No strangers share your ride and no meter climbs while you sit in disembark-day traffic. The driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which helps when you are arriving tired and just want a clear plan. Because we work cruise schedules every day, the pickup is built around ship timing rather than a generic app queue — your driver knows the terminal layout and the fastest way out of the port. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp before and during the journey, so questions obtain answered fast. Luggage is handled for you: the driver loads and unloads the bags, leaving your family free to walk straight to the vehicle.
Yes. Every driver is bilingual — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — so you can confirm the address, ask about the route, or sort out luggage without a language barrier. It makes the handoff at the terminal quick and clear the moment you step off the ship.
The drive from Port of Miami to Richmond West heads southwest across Miami-Dade County, and the door-to-door time depends mostly on the day and hour you travel. On a calm off-peak stretch the run is smooth and direct. Disembarkation mornings are the busiest window: when several ships empty at once, the terminal roads and the highways leaving downtown fill rapidly, and the journey stretches longer than a quiet midday drive. Your driver watches live traffic and picks the cleanest route out of the port so your group keeps moving. Because the fare is fixed per vehicle, a slower drive never changes what you pay — the traffic is our concern, not a rising meter. If your ship is running behind, the pickup merely shifts to match the actual disembark time.
Richmond West is a quiet, family-oriented suburb in southwest Miami-Dade County, well away from the downtown crowds near the port. The region is mostly residential — single-family neighborhoods threaded with parks, schools, and everyday shopping plazas — and it sits toward the southern edge of the metro, where the suburbs offer way to the greener Redland farming country and open space. It is a practical, low-key base if you are visiting family, staying near the southern suburbs, or breaking up a longer Florida journey rather than chasing the beach nightlife.
Lodging clusters around the southwest Miami-Dade suburbs and the corridors that feed them, close to the shopping plazas and family neighborhoods. Because we drive door to door, we drop you at any exact address you give — a home, a rental, or a hotel in the area — so you never sort out a second ride after landing.
The pull here is everyday, suburban Miami rather than the tourist strip: neighborhood parks, casual restaurants, and shopping centers within the surrounding communities. Its position toward south Miami-Dade also makes it a handy launch point for day trips deeper into the county’s parks and farmland, all reachable from your Richmond West base.
Pick the vehicle by how many are traveling and how much cruise luggage you carry. Every choice below is private and reserved for your group only.
The flat per-vehicle fare covers the whole ride with no add-ons at the curb. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built in, so nothing is charged on top for the road. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot for the drive. Your driver tracks the ship’s arrival and re-times the pickup at no extra cost if the vessel docks late, and courtesy waiting is included — 30 minutes at the cruise terminal, 15 minutes for hotel pickups. Driver details, including name, vehicle model, and plate, are texted the day before with your pickup instructions, and the driver helps load and unload every bag.
The first child seat is free for a child under 5 — just request it on WhatsApp when you book so we install the right one. Each additional child seat carries a small extra fee, confirmed at booking, so let us know how many little ones are riding.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, riding in a proper pet carrier. Tell us before the trip so we assign a suitable vehicle and plan the space, and your pet travels comfortably alongside the family from the terminal to Richmond West.
A few things sit outside the rate: food and drinks, driver gratuity (optional, always appreciated), parking costs, and unscheduled stops. A short, pre-arranged stop nearby can be accommodated for a small fee. Waiting beyond the courtesy window is billed in 30-minute blocks. Card or link payments carry a 4% bank fee.
Payment is simple and handled before or on journey day, never as a scramble at the curb.
For a pickup on the Miami side, half secures the booking and the other half goes to the driver on the day. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas such as Broward or Palm Beach require full payment in advance. A round trip is always double the one-way price, booked as one reservation.
On the outbound trip the cruise line emails a set of tags with your cabin number on them. Print and attach those at home while the bags are still open on the floor; once the vehicle pulls up at the terminal, porters take the cases straight from the trunk and an untagged bag becomes a problem you solve standing on the sidewalk. If nothing printed, write the cabin number clearly and the porters will re-tag it.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Pickups scheduled outside that window carry a small night surcharge, shown below.
Nothing on your end — the pickup re-times itself. Your driver tracks the ship’s actual arrival and disembark timing, so a late dock just shifts the meet time at no extra cost. You are never charged for the delay and never left to re-book. Step off when you are cleared, and the vehicle is waiting.
Your driver meets the group curbside right at the PortMiami cruise terminal, at the exit where passengers come out. Ask on WhatsApp in advance and the driver holds a name sign. Courtesy waiting covers 30 minutes at the terminal, so there is time to clear customs and gather your bags before you walk out.
Yes — disembarkation day is our core service. Reserve ahead with your ship name and arrival date, and the driver is at the terminal as you exit, luggage assist ready. Because we monitor ship timing, an early or delayed disembark is handled automatically, and you head straight to Richmond West with no second ride to arrange.
Each passenger brings one checked bag plus one carry-on, and there is room for cruise luggage in every vehicle. Carrying 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, so your whole party and all the bags travel together.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price shown in the prices list. Whether it is two of you in the SUV or a full van of fourteen, the fare does not change by headcount, and it is locked at booking with no surge.
A private shuttle here means our private van reserved only for your group, never a shared ride. It is priced per vehicle at the flat van rate shown above, so the whole party travels for one fixed price with no per-seat charge and no surge, whatever the traffic that day.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Some addresses in this part of the county sit inside communities with a staffed booth or a callbox at the entrance. A hired vehicle carries no resident credentials, so ask the household to register the arrival in the community’s visitor app or by phoning the gate. Send us the street the main entrance opens onto as well — a secondary gate is often locked to residents only.
Send your ship name, arrival date, group size, and Richmond West address, and we confirm the vehicle and a curbside pickup plan. Book 24+ hours ahead to lock the fare and reserve your private SUV or van. Cancellations are fully refundable with 24+ hours notice; within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable.
