A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Melbourne Village runs at a flat rate from $550 per vehicle in a black SUV, driven by a bilingual chauffeur north along I-95 toward Florida’s Space Coast. We reserve the whole vehicle for your group alone, meet you curb-side at the PortMiami cruise terminal, and carry every cruise bag door to door.
Each price below is the full cost of the private vehicle for your whole group — one charge, not a per-person fare.
Melbourne Village is its own small municipality wrapped inside the larger Melbourne and West Melbourne street grid, and post is generally addressed to the bigger name. That is fine for a letter and less fine for a driver working from a street number alone, since similar street names repeat across the area. Send the address exactly as it appears on your rental or property paperwork and add a cross street.
Book online or over WhatsApp, then meet your driver curb-side at the PortMiami cruise terminal. For groups of up to five, a black SUV or SUV XL carries everyone with cruise luggage. Groups of six to nine take a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, and parties of ten to fourteen ride in the larger Sprinter. Your driver waits as your group clears the terminal exit, then loads every bag before the ride north to Melbourne Village. Drop-off is door to door at your address, whether that is a home, a rental, or a Space Coast business. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead so we can assign a vehicle and text you the driver’s name, plate, and pickup notes the day before. Under-24-hour requests are still reviewed by hand, though availability is tighter.
Message us on WhatsApp or use the website with your ship name, arrival date, group size, and drop-off address. We confirm the vehicle, take a deposit to lock the date, and send the driver’s details the day before. Booking 24 hours ahead secures the best availability.
A private vehicle stays reserved for your group alone — no shared ride, no second pickup, no strangers. The fare is locked at booking, so demand and traffic never change what you pay; there is no surge on a holiday sailing or a hectic disembark morning. Your bilingual driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese and loads every cruise bag personally. One WhatsApp thread handles the whole booking, from the first quote to the driver’s plate number the night before. For a family stepping off a ship with tired kids and a loaded luggage cart, a car that is already waiting and already paid down beats standing in a rideshare queue on the terminal curb. You know the vehicle, the price, and the person driving before you ever leave the ship.
The drive runs north from PortMiami up the interstate corridor toward Florida’s Space Coast, and Melbourne Village sits inland in Brevard County. We do not quote a fixed clock time, because real disembark mornings vary: when several ships empty at once, terminal roads and the first stretch of highway crawl before they open up. A calmer mid-day departure rolls more freely once you clear the port. Your driver plans the pickup around your ship’s actual disembark timing, so you are not left standing on the curb, and keeps the group moving on the most direct road available that day. If you have an onward connection or a check-in time waiting on the Space Coast, tell us at booking and we shape the pickup around it. The route stays a straight northbound run for the whole journey.
Pick the private vehicle that matches your group size — every tier is reserved for you alone.
Melbourne Village is a small, quiet residential town on Florida’s Space Coast, set beside the larger city of Melbourne in Brevard County. It keeps a green, low-key village character — tree-lined lanes and family homes rather than high-rises — while the surrounding region opens onto the Space Coast’s Atlantic beaches, riverfront parks along the Indian River Lagoon, and the shops and restaurants of greater Melbourne. Cruise passengers heading here are frequently visiting family, starting or ending a Space Coast holiday, or connecting to the wider region. You can learn more about the town from the official Melbourne Village website, and locate local services and contacts through the town’s municipal departments page. Our drop-off is door to door, so wherever your address sits in or around the village, that is where the ride ends.
The village itself is mostly residential, so most visitors stay in the broader Melbourne and Space Coast area, from beachside districts to riverfront neighborhoods near the Indian River Lagoon. We drop you at any address you book, whether a private home, a rental, or a nearby district — just give us the exact stop.
The wider Space Coast offers Atlantic beaches, Indian River Lagoon parks, and the dining and shopping of greater Melbourne, with the region’s well-known launch sites farther up the coast. The village keeps a calm, residential feel, so most attractions sit in the surrounding towns a short local drive away.
The flat rate already covers tolls, SunPass, and fuel — nothing extra is added for the roads. Every ride includes onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, a bilingual driver, and hands-on assist loading and unloading your cruise luggage. We hold the vehicle with courtesy waiting built in: 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from your agreed pickup time, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups; after that, extra waiting is billed in 30-minute blocks. Your first child seat is free for a child under five, and drivers text you their name, vehicle, and plate the day before so you know exactly who is coming. The service runs 24/7, year-round, and cancellations made 24 hours or more before pickup are fully refundable; within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable.
The rate excludes food and drinks, driver gratuity (optional and always appreciated), parking costs, and unscheduled stops. A short stop arranged in advance can usually be added, and a small fee may apply. Additional child seats beyond the first also carry an extra charge confirmed when you book.
Small pets travel with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier. The first child seat is free for a child under five, and each additional seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Share your children’s ages and any pet when you reserve so we fit the correct seats.
Every passenger gets room for 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, with space set aside for cruise luggage. 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 van. Drivers load and unload everything for you.
Pay by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee. Full cash 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% can go to the driver on journey day, cash included. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas such as Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond are paid in full ahead of time. Once your deposit is in, we lock the vehicle and text the driver’s details the day before.
On a PortMiami or Miami-side pickup, the remaining 50% balance can be paid to the driver in cash on trip day, once your deposit confirms the booking. Full cash at pickup is not accepted, and pickups from Broward, Palm Beach, or beyond are paid in full in advance.
Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 6 PM carry no surcharge. Trips that start outside those hours add a small amount for the early or late slot:
Nothing changes on your end. Your driver tracks the ship’s arrival and disembark timing and re-times the pickup at no extra cost when you dock late. Courtesy waiting of 30 minutes at the terminal is built in from the agreed time, so a slow clearance off the ship still leaves your car ready.
Your driver meets you curb-side right outside the PortMiami cruise terminal as your group exits. Ask for a name sign on WhatsApp in advance and the driver will hold it at the pickup point. You’ll also obtain the driver’s name, vehicle, and plate by text the day before, so the two of you connect rapidly.
Yes. Disembarkation-day pickups are exactly what this service is built for — your driver plans around your ship’s clearance time and waits at the terminal. Book at least 24 hours ahead to secure the vehicle; last-minute requests under 24 hours are reviewed by hand, though availability is tighter.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price listed above, whether that’s a couple or a full van of fourteen. A round journey is merely double the one-way. Nothing is added for extra passengers up to the vehicle’s seat count.
Our private van covers what people frequently call a shuttle, but it is reserved for your group alone — never shared. The cost is the per-vehicle van price shown in the price list above, one flat charge for everyone aboard. Select the 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 van for your group size.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

One booking, one coordinated pickup, significantly lower cost than an Uber Black or Lyft Lux surge.

Whoever is waiting at the other end — a relative, an owner, a neighbor holding a key — should be given a window rather than a fixed minute, because the start of the day belongs to the terminal rather than the road. Once your group is actually in the vehicle, a quick message with a realistic arrival window saves somebody sitting up watching the street.
Send your ship name, sailing date, group size, and drop-off address by WhatsApp or the website, and we’ll confirm your vehicle and driver for the run to or from Melbourne Village. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead for the smoothest pickup, and we’ll text the driver’s name, plate, and pickup notes the day before.

Atendimento de primeira. Sem drama, sem pressa, sem mudança de última hora
dessa vez fui sozinho, nada de ligação atrás de ligação, só uma resposta. acompanharam a chegada do meu navio sem precisar pedir. facilitou o dia.
Mi pareja y yo, comunicación clara desde la reserva. no hubo que buscar a nadie, el auto estaba donde dijeron. Forma inteligente de empezar un viaje.
Sin queja alguna: íbamos a ciegas y todo salió perfecto, ya somos clientes habituales para los traslados al puerto, la camioneta lucía nueva y bien mantenida. Ahorramos 15 minutos vs la fila de Uber.
