A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Three Lakes rides in a black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, a flat rate from $140 per vehicle. The journey leaves the PortMiami cruise terminal heading south and runs door-to-door, with room for every cruise bag and the pickup timed to your ship. One booking covers the whole group.
The fare is set per vehicle and locked at booking — pick the tier that fits your group and cruise luggage.
The most practical way to journey to or from Port of Miami and Three Lakes is a private point-to-point transfer booked ahead. You select the vehicle by headcount: a black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or a larger Sprinter for 10 to 14. When your ship clears, the driver is already curbside at the terminal, holds a name sign if you asked for one over WhatsApp, and helps load every cruise bag. From there it is a single door-to-door run to your Three Lakes address — no transfers, no waiting in a rideshare queue, no second booking. To reserve, message us with your ship, terminal, sailing date, group size, and destination address; the driver’s name, vehicle model, and plate arrive by text the day before with pickup instructions. That’s the whole process, start to finish.
The run from Port of Miami to Three Lakes is a long-distance transfer, planned around your ship rather than a fixed clock. How rapidly you clear the Miami side depends on when you roll out of the terminal: an off-peak departure moves through the port district faster, while a mid-morning disembarkation wave — several ships unloading at once — puts more vehicles and luggage on the terminal roads and can slow the first leg. The driver watches the debark timing and picks a departure that keeps your group ahead of the heaviest crush. Because this is a long haul, one short comfort stop for a restroom break or a snack can be arranged on route, agreed in advance so it never throws off the plan. The flat rate does not change for traffic or the hour of day, so a slower start never costs you more than what you locked in at booking.
A private vehicle reserved for your group alone is the core of this service — no pooling, no scheduled shared ride, no extra stops for strangers. The rate is flat and locked at booking, so it never surges for demand, the hour, or traffic. Your driver is bilingual (English plus Spanish or Portuguese), meets you right at the terminal, and handles the loading and unloading of cruise luggage so nobody wrestles bags across a parking lot. Booking runs through direct WhatsApp contact with a real person, and the driver’s name, vehicle model, and license plate reach you by text the day before the journey. Everything is built around how cruise passengers actually arrive: tight terminal windows, heavy bags, families traveling together, and the need to know exactly who is picking you up. One message reserves it, and one flat price covers the whole group to or from the port.
Three private tiers cover every cruise group, each reserved for your party only.
Not sure which tier fits? Message us with your headcount and how many bags you are carrying, and we confirm the right vehicle. If you have extra or oversized bags beyond one checked bag and one carry-on per person, let us know in advance and we confirm the space or size up to a larger van so nothing is left behind at the curb.
Cruise port transportation is private ground transfer built around a sailing schedule instead of a generic pickup time. On embarkation day, it gets your group from a hotel, home, or Miami International Airport to the PortMiami cruise terminal in time to check in and board. On disembarkation day, it runs the reverse — the driver tracks when your ship docks and clears, meets you as you exit, and carries you and your luggage onward to your destination. PortMiami is one of South Florida’s busiest cruise hubs, and the terminal roads move in waves as ships load and unload, so the timing matters. Our version is private only: a black SUV or Sprinter van reserved for your party, a flat per-vehicle rate, and a driver who plans the journey around your ship or flight rather than a queue. It connects the airport, the port, and your final address in one organized booking.
Cases handed over on the final night reappear inside the terminal hall, arranged by the tag each one carries, so your first task ashore is finding your tag’s area and checking that nothing is missing before you move on to inspection. Carts are there to use and porters work the floor. Outside, the driver takes the bags and loads them for you.
Three Lakes is a residential community in southern Miami-Dade County, a quiet suburban pocket of tree-lined streets and small lakes west of US-1. The character is settled and local-first: family homes, neighborhood parks, and everyday shopping within a short drive, rather than a tourist strip. It’s a calm landing spot after a sailing — the kind of place travelers head to visit family or settle into a private address away from the cruise crowds.
Three Lakes is residential, so travelers who need a hotel usually look toward the nearby South Miami-Dade corridor along US-1 or closer to the coast. Whichever area you settle in, the driver takes you door-to-door to the address you provide, so you don’t need to add a stop or arrange a separate ride from a central point.
The draw is everyday South Florida living — quiet streets, neighborhood green space, and easy access to the shops and dining of the US-1 corridor. Zoo Miami and the Deering Estate sit within a reasonable local drive for a family outing. It’s a residential kind of destination rather than a big-attraction one, which is exactly why travelers land here to see family or settle in after a sailing.
The flat per-vehicle rate covers the full ride and the things travelers usually obtain charged for elsewhere. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built in, so the price you lock is the price you pay. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot. Courtesy waiting is included — 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed pickup time, or 15 minutes at a hotel — after which extra waiting is billed in 30-minute blocks. Real-time ship and flight monitoring is included too, so a late dock re-times your pickup at no cost. The first child seat is free for a child under 5; each additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Small pets ride along with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier. Your driver also loads and unloads the cruise luggage — one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger, with room for more when you tell us ahead.
The rate excludes food and beverages, driver gratuity (optional but always appreciated), parking costs, and unscheduled stops. A short nearby stop arranged in advance can be accommodated, and a small fee may apply. Extra waiting beyond the courtesy window and each additional child seat beyond the first are billed separately, always confirmed before the trip so there are no surprises.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent by 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. For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side — the main direction of this route — a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% may be paid to the driver on journey day, cash accepted. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas such as Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond require full payment in advance. Booking works top 24 or more hours ahead; an under-24-hour request is still reviewed by hand, though availability isn’t guaranteed. Cancellations made 24 or more hours before pickup are fully refunded; within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable. A booked pickup time can be moved with 24-plus hours notice, subject to availability.
Daytime hours run 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. A pickup that falls outside that window carries a small added charge, set by vehicle type.
Swift answers to the questions cruise travelers ask most about this Port of Miami transfer.
Nothing changes on your end. The driver tracks your ship’s arrival and disembarkation timing, then re-times the pickup at no extra cost when the port runs behind. Your flat rate stays the same, and the 30-minute courtesy window counts from the adjusted pickup time, not the original schedule.
Curbside, right where you exit the terminal. The driver holds a name sign when you request one over WhatsApp in advance, helps load your cruise luggage, and walks you to the vehicle. There’s no hunting through a rideshare lot — the private car is reserved and already waiting for your group.
Yes. Disembarkation-day pickups are a core part of this service. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead, share your ship and terminal, and the driver plans around the debark window. The mid-morning waves, when several ships unload at once, are factored in so your group is never rushed.
Yes. We pick up at Miami International Airport and drop you at the PortMiami cruise terminal for embarkation day, or run the reverse. It’s the same private car, flat per-vehicle rate, and door-to-door service. Share your flight number so the driver tracks the arrival and adjusts for any delay.
Per vehicle, not per person. The whole group rides for the one flat price shown above, whether that’s two travelers or a full van of fourteen. A round trip is simply double the one-way. Nothing is added for luggage, tolls, or fuel — the rate is locked at booking.
A private van to Three Lakes is billed at the per-vehicle flat rate shown above, never per seat and never as a shared ride. Your group has the whole Sprinter to itself. A pickup outside daytime hours adds a small surcharge, but the base fare stays fixed once you book.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Where a son, a daughter or an assistant sets the ride up, the details that count are the traveler’s own name and a phone they will answer once ashore. Put both on the booking, then forward them the driver’s name and plate when we release it. Whoever paid can stay in the thread by message without having to be the contact on the day.
Send us your ship, terminal, sailing date, group size, and Three Lakes address, and we confirm the vehicle and lock your flat rate. Book 24 or more hours ahead for the smoothest planning, and the driver’s name, vehicle model, and plate reach you by text the day before pickup. Message us on WhatsApp to hold your date for either direction of the journey.

Nos sorprendió para bien: tercera vez con ellos y la misma calidad, probamos Uber a la ida, esto fue la mejor decisión, primera vez arreglando un traslado anticipado, sin problemas.
Llegamos al hotel justo para el check-in. Recomendamos sin dudar. (para nuestro grupo de 6)
Recogida en la acera, bajada en el lobby.
First class service. we were nervous about boarding day, this took the worry off. even with traffic the route was sensible. Glad we picked this option.
Ajudou com as malas. No horário. Desembarque rápido. Tudo certo.
