Our private transfer runs to or from Port of Miami and Kendall West in a black SUV or climate-controlled van, flat rate from $140 per vehicle. A bilingual driver meets your cruise group curbside at PortMiami, loads the luggage, and heads west on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) toward Florida’s Turnpike and the Kendall West region — one fixed price, no surge, door to door.
The price is a flat rate per vehicle for the whole group, not per person, and it stays locked from the moment you book:
The top way is a private door-to-door transfer booked in advance — your driver, your vehicle, no waiting in a taxi line. Pick the black SUV for up to five, or a private Sprinter van for six to nine or ten to fourteen. As your group clears the PortMiami terminal, the driver is already curbside, holds up a name sign if you asked for one on WhatsApp, and helps load every cruise bag. From there it is one direct ride to your Kendall West address — no extra stops, no route sharing. To book, message us on WhatsApp or the website at least 24 hours ahead with your ship, terminal, pickup time, group size, and drop-off address; we confirm the vehicle and text your driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate the day before. Traveling the other way works the same — we collect you in Kendall West and bring you to the ship.
The drive time shifts with the day and the hour, so we quote it live rather than lock a fixed clock. The route leaves the port, runs the expressway west, then drops onto the Turnpike toward the residential grid of Kendall West. Off-peak — mid-morning or early afternoon — the roads move freely and the ride is swift. On a hectic disembark morning, when several ships empty at once and traffic stacks up on the expressway, the same journey runs longer. When you book, tell us your exact pickup time and we plan the departure around the real conditions that day, building in a cushion so a cruise-day crowd or a late debark does not put your onward flight or plans at risk. That way the ride matches the day instead of a generic estimate that ignores the port’s rhythm.
Every journey is a private ride reserved for your group alone — no strangers, no pooled seats, no scheduled shuttle to chase. The fare is locked when you book, so a peak-hour crowd or a demand spike never bumps the number you agreed to. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the whole handoff for international cruise families. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp before and during the journey, not an app queue. The driver helps load and unload every bag, so nobody wrestles cruise luggage across a parking garage. Driver details — name, vehicle make, and plate — reach by text the day before, so you know exactly who and what to look for. It is a calmer, more organized way to move a tired, luggage-laden group from the ship to a Kendall West doorstep.
Match the vehicle to your headcount and your luggage:
Every tier is private and yours alone. If your group or its luggage grows between booking and sail day, message us on WhatsApp and we size up to the next van when space allows.
The flat rate covers the ride and the essentials, with no line-item surprises. Included in every booking:
The first child seat is free for a child under five, so families traveling with a little one are covered from the start. Each additional child seat carries a small fee we confirm when you book. Just tell us your children’s ages on WhatsApp and we fit the right seats before pickup.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, riding in a proper pet carrier. Let us know the pet and carrier size when you book so the driver assigns a vehicle with room for it beside your cruise luggage. There is no need to leave a travel companion behind.
Each passenger travels with one checked bag and one carry-on, and there is dedicated room for cruise luggage in every vehicle. Have extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van. The driver loads and unloads it all.
The rate leaves out food and drinks, driver gratuity (optional and always appreciated), parking costs, and any unscheduled stop. A short stop arranged in advance can be added, and a small fee may apply. Everything on the ride itself — tolls, fuel, and the vehicle — is already inside your flat price.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, not full cash at the curb. A card or link payment carries a 4% bank fee. Book the round journey and it is merely double the one-way rate.
Kendall West is a residential suburb in southwest Miami-Dade County — a settled, family neighborhood of homes, apartment communities, and everyday conveniences rather than a tourist strip. The streets are lined with shopping plazas, supermarkets, casual and chain restaurants, parks, and schools, giving it the calm, lived-in feel of greater Miami’s western suburbs. Visitors usually come to see family, attend to business, or stay near west-county workplaces before or after a cruise. You can read the neighborhood’s profile in the Census Bureau data for Kendall West, and residential developments such as Bell Kendall West offer a sense of the region’s contemporary apartment living. Whichever address you are headed to, we take you straight to the door with your luggage.
Lodging clusters across Miami’s western suburbs and along the main commercial corridors near Kendall West, from apartment communities to everyday-comfort stays. We do not book rooms, but we deliver you to whatever address you have — home, rental, or a place nearby — with all your cruise bags carried to the door.
Everyday Miami life anchors the area — shopping plazas, supermarkets, casual dining, and neighborhood parks fill the surrounding streets. It sits within reach of the wider metro, so the beaches, downtown, and Miami’s attractions are a broader drive away. Most of our riders here are visiting family or handling business rather than sightseeing.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM carry no surcharge. A pickup outside that window adds a small charge for the off-hours drive:
Availability tightens around the winter holidays, spring break and long weekends, when a great many ships turn around on the same day. The larger vans are the first to be taken. Book as soon as the cruise is confirmed for those dates; quieter weeks leave more room, although even then the driver details reach you sooner when the reservation goes in early.
Your driver waits curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal and meets your group as you exit, holding a name sign when you request one on WhatsApp beforehand. Text us once you are off the ship and cleared, and the driver pulls up to help load your bags right away.
Yes — every transfer is door-to-door. The driver takes you straight to your exact Kendall West address, whether a home, apartment community, or business, and unloads your cruise luggage at the entrance. Share the full drop-off address when you book so we route directly there with no shared stops along the way.
Yes — the transfer runs to or from Port of Miami and Kendall West, so we handle the return leg too. We collect your group at your Kendall West address and bring you to the ship or your onward stop, watching the clock so you reach the terminal with time to board. Book both legs as a round journey.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price shown above, whether that is two of you or a full van. A round journey is merely double the one-way. No head-count math and no per-seat charge; the vehicle is booked and priced for the group.
No problem — the driver tracks your ship’s arrival and disembark timing in real time and re-times the pickup at no extra cost when you dock late. There is nothing to re-book. If clearing customs runs long, message us on WhatsApp; courtesy waiting covers 30 minutes at the terminal from the agreed pickup time.
Yes — cancel 24 or more hours before pickup for a full refund. Within 24 hours of pickup the booking is non-refundable, so let us know as early as plans change. To book at all, reserve 24 or more hours ahead; last-minute requests under 24 hours are reviewed by hand, subject to availability.
Move a booked pickup with 24 or more hours notice and we adjust it, subject to availability. Message the change on WhatsApp with your booking and the new time, and we reconfirm the driver. Within 24 hours we still try, but a new slot cannot be guaranteed.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Between shipboard data plans, flat batteries and crowded terminal networks, a fair number of passengers reach the sidewalk with no connection at all. Write the pickup instructions on paper before leaving the cabin. Someone who knows the terminal, the description of the vehicle and the lane can finish the meeting with a dead handset in their pocket.
Send us your ship, terminal, pickup time, group size, and Kendall West address on WhatsApp, and we confirm the vehicle and lock your flat rate. Book 24 or more hours ahead for the smoothest handoff, and your driver’s details reach by text the day before. Reach us any time — we run 24/7, year-round.
