A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Kendall runs on a flat rate from $140 per vehicle, in a black SUV for up to five passengers or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for larger groups. Your driver meets your cruise group curbside at the PortMiami terminal, loads the luggage, and drives door-to-door to your Kendall address — no surge and no shared ride.
Prices for a private Port of Miami to Kendall transfer are set per vehicle and cover your whole group — pick the size that fits your party.
The price is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one price listed above, whether that is two of you in the SUV or fourteen in the van. A round journey is simply double the one-way, and no per-head charge is ever added.
The top way to reach Kendall from the cruise terminal is a private, door-to-door transfer booked ahead of your sailing. Pick the black SUV for a couple or a family of up to five, or step up to a private Sprinter van for a group of 6-9 or 10-14. After you clear customs and collect your bags, your driver is waiting curbside at the PortMiami terminal, helps load the cruise luggage, and drives your group straight to the Kendall address you gave — no extra stops unless you arrange one in advance. To hold a spot, message the journey details on WhatsApp: sailing date, ship name, group size, and your Kendall drop-off. Book at least 24 hours ahead so the vehicle and driver are confirmed; the day before, you receive the driver’s name, vehicle, and plate by text.
Your fare is a flat rate locked at booking, so it never climbs with traffic, demand, or the hour you land. The vehicle is private and reserved for your group alone — nobody else rides along and no schedule is shared. Every driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths pickup on a hectic disembark morning. You book straight through WhatsApp with a real person, not an app queue, and you keep that same contact if plans shift. For cruise passengers juggling luggage and a tight terminal exit, that means one named driver who knows your ship and your Kendall address before the day arrives, and a price you can plan around from the moment you reserve.
The drive from PortMiami to Kendall is a straightforward run out of the terminal district toward the residential neighborhoods. Actual time depends mainly on traffic and the terminal itself: on a morning when several ships disembark together, the roads around the port move slowly, and a mid-afternoon departure commonly clears the terminal faster than an early-morning rush. Your driver watches the ship’s disembark timing and sets the pickup so your group is not left waiting on the curb. If you have a flight or appointment to create after the drop-off, share it when you book and the driver plans the pickup with margin so nothing feels rushed.
Kendall is a large, established residential district in southwest Miami-Dade, known for leafy family neighborhoods and everyday suburban ease rather than a tourist strip. You will locate major shopping centers, big-box stores, and a wide range of restaurants, along with parks, golf courses, and green space popular with families and long-stay visitors. Business parks, medical campuses, and university facilities also draw people here for work and appointments. For a fuller picture of the region, browse the official Kendall neighborhood guide. Whether you are heading home after a cruise or starting a longer inland Miami stay, your driver delivers you right to the door.
Kendall has plenty of lodging spread across its shopping and business corridors, from suburban properties to extended-stay options suited to families and longer visits. We drop you at any Kendall address you provide — a residence, a rental, or a hotel — right at the door with luggage unloaded. Give the exact street address when you book so the driver routes straight there.
Kendall centers on retail and dining: sizeable malls, plaza shopping, supermarkets, and a broad mix of casual and sit-down restaurants. Families gravitate to the parks, recreation areas, and green space scattered through the district, while nearby business and medical campuses handle work trips. It is an easygoing base for exploring the wider Miami area by car.
Your rate covers the whole ride door to door, with no add-ons for the essentials. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built into the price, so nothing is billed to you en route. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, and the first child seat is free for a child under five. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier. The driver helps load and unload your cruise luggage at both ends of the journey. What sits outside the rate is the everyday extras — the optional driver gratuity, food and drinks, parking, and any stop that is not part of the route you booked.
A few costs sit outside the rate. Extra child seats beyond the free first one carry a small fee confirmed at booking. A short stop arranged in advance may add a little, and waiting past the courtesy window is billed in 30-minute blocks. Food, parking, and the optional gratuity are also on you.
You pay through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent by WhatsApp or on the website. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted, though the driver can take the remaining balance in cash on journey day for Miami-side pickups. Card or payment-link transactions carry a 4% bank fee. For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% is paid to the driver on journey day. Pickups from farther out, such as Broward or Palm Beach, are paid in full ahead of time so the driver is committed to the longer run.
A round trip is simply double the one-way price for the same vehicle — one booking, one driver in both directions. You lock it the same way, with the deposit up front for a Miami-side pickup and the balance settled on the return day. Give both dates and times when you book so the driver holds the slots.
Every vehicle is private and reserved for your group only — match the size to your party.
Not sure which fits? Message your headcount and bag count on WhatsApp and we confirm the right vehicle before you pay.
Each passenger brings 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, and there is room for cruise luggage in every vehicle. Traveling with 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 everything at both ends.
South Florida runs two cruise ports and travel paperwork sometimes blurs them: PortMiami covers the downtown terminals, while Port Everglades sits up in Fort Lauderdale. The rate here begins at the Miami terminals. Read the embarkation port shown on your documents and tell us which one applies when you reserve, so the run is planned from the correct starting point.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and trips inside that window carry no surcharge. A pickup scheduled outside those hours adds a small late-night amount:
Yes — we run the Kendall-to-PortMiami direction too, so your driver can collect you from any Kendall address and deliver you to the cruise terminal for embarkation day. Book it as a one-way or pair it with your arrival as a round journey at double the one-way price. Offer your street address and the ship or terminal, and permit 24 hours’ notice.
Your driver meets your group curbside right at the PortMiami cruise terminal as you exit with your bags. Ask on WhatsApp in advance and the driver holds a name sign so you spot each other speedy on a crowded disembark morning. Courtesy waiting covers 30 minutes at the terminal from the agreed pickup time, with 15 minutes for hotel pickups.
Yes. Disembarkation day is exactly what this transfer is built for. Book at least 24 hours ahead with your ship and sailing date; the driver tracks your ship’s arrival so the pickup lines up with when you actually clear the terminal, even if the ship is early or running behind.
If your ship docks late, your pickup is re-timed at no extra cost. The driver monitors your ship’s real-time arrival and disembark status and adjusts the meet time to match, so you never pay a penalty for a delay you did not cause. Just create sure your ship name and sailing date are on the booking, and the driver plans around your terminal exit.
Cancel with 24 or more hours’ notice before pickup and you receive a full refund, with no fee. Within 24 hours of the pickup time the booking is non-refundable, since the vehicle and driver are already committed to your slot. To cancel, message the same WhatsApp thread you booked on and we confirm it in writing.
You can move a booked pickup time with 24 or more hours’ notice, subject to availability. Message the change on WhatsApp with the new time or date and we reconfirm the driver. Requests made under 24 hours are reviewed manually, but availability that close in is not guaranteed — adjust early once your plans firm up.

Bags surrendered on the last night are already down in the terminal hall when you arrive, grouped by their tags rather than by cabin, so you collect the set yourself before inspection. Trolleys are there and porters work the floor. Count the pieces at that point — sorting anything out is far simpler in the hall than at the curb.
