A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Miami Gardens rides in a black SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van at a flat rate from $140 per vehicle. One booking covers your whole cruise group, luggage included, with a bilingual driver meeting you curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal for a direct, door-to-door ride north.
Pick the vehicle that fits your party — each rate below covers the whole vehicle for the whole group, not per person.
Cruise parties frequently share a ride home and then separate at two addresses a few streets apart. That works cleanly when both stops are known at booking: send the addresses in the order you want them served, with a contact number for each. What complicates it is a second destination announced at the curb, because the loading order was decided by the first one.
Booking a private transfer is the simplest way to move between the PortMiami cruise terminal and Miami Gardens. Reserve online or by WhatsApp at least 24 hours ahead and choose the vehicle that fits your party: 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. The driver meets your group curbside as you clear the terminal, helps load the cruise luggage, and drives straight to your Miami Gardens address — no shared seats, no scheduled waiting. The day before your trip you receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate by text, so you know exactly who to look for at the pickup point. It is one reserved vehicle for your group alone, taken door to door on a route that heads directly north from the port.
Your group rides in a private vehicle reserved for you alone — never pooled with strangers, never a scheduled pickup you have to chase. The fare is flat and locked at the moment you book, so heavy cruise-day demand or terminal traffic never pushes the price up. A bilingual driver greets your family in English plus Spanish or Portuguese, helps with the bags, and drives straight to the door. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp before the trip, not a queue, and the driver’s details arrive by text the day before. For cruise passengers juggling luggage, tired kids, and a tight disembark clock, that combination — a set price, a named driver, and a car sized to your group — turns the trip off the ship into the simple part of the day.
The ride from PortMiami to Miami Gardens is a straightforward run heading north out of the terminal district toward northern Miami-Dade County. Off-peak, when few ships are turning over, traffic stays light and the trip moves smoothly. On a hectic disembark morning, several ships can empty at once and the roads around the port back up, which adds time before the drive opens up north of downtown. Because the fare is fixed per vehicle, none of that traffic changes what you pay — only the clock. Your driver tracks the ship’s arrival so the pickup is timed to when you actually step off, not to a guess made weeks earlier. If you are heading to the port for embarkation instead, we build in a relaxing cushion so you reach the terminal with time to spare for check-in.
Miami Gardens is a residential city in northern Miami-Dade County with a diverse, welcoming character and a big-event reputation. It is top known as the home of a main stadium that hosts professional football, world-class tennis, and headline concerts and festivals throughout the year, drawing visitors from across the region. Away from event days, the city is a settled, family-oriented region of neighborhoods, parks, and local shops rather than a beach strip — a practical, quieter base within simple reach of greater Miami’s attractions. You can explore what Miami Gardens offers before you journey to plan around any game, match, or show you desire to catch.
Lodging clusters around the northern Miami-Dade corridor near the stadium and the main highways, which keeps you close to event venues and quick to reach from the port. Whichever area you settle on, we drive straight to that address — give us the exact street when you book and the driver takes you door to door.
The calendar revolves around the stadium: football season, a marquee spring tennis tournament, and large music festivals pull crowds into the city. Between events, families enjoy the local parks and community spaces, and the rest of the Miami metro — its beaches, dining, and nightlife — sits within a private-transfer ride when you want more.
Every option is a private vehicle reserved for your group only, sized to your headcount and cruise luggage.
The rate you book covers the full ride, per vehicle. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built into the price, so there is nothing extra to settle at the roadside. An onboard mobile-hotspot WiFi connection keeps everyone online, and the driver helps load and unload the cruise luggage at both ends. A few things sit outside the fare and are worth knowing before you journey.
The first child seat is free for a child under 5; each additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed when you book. Small pets ride too, with advance notice on WhatsApp and carried in a pet carrier. Let us know your seat count and any pet before the trip so the driver arrives ready.
Food and drinks, driver gratuity (optional but always appreciated), parking costs, and unscheduled stops are not part of the fare. A short pre-arranged stop nearby can sometimes be accommodated for a small fee. Courtesy waiting is included — 30 minutes at the cruise terminal, 15 minutes for hotel pickups — after which extra waiting is billed in 30-minute blocks.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent via WhatsApp or the website; card and link payments carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. Book at least 24 hours ahead; under-24-hour requests are still reviewed manually, though availability is not guaranteed, and a booked time can be moved with 24-plus hours notice.
Yes — numerous cruise travelers book both directions in one reservation. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare shown in the pricing list above, with the same private vehicle and the same driver arrangement handled for you. Reserve the return when you book the outbound leg so the pickup back to the port is locked to your embarkation schedule. If your plans firm up later, you can add the return by WhatsApp, subject to availability. Booking both at once means one organized plan, one contact, and no scramble to arrange a ride on departure morning — the driver tracks your timing and is ready when you are.
Pickups outside our daytime window carry a small night surcharge; inside daytime hours there is none.
Your pickup is re-timed at no extra cost. The driver tracks your ship’s arrival and disembark timing through terminal updates, so the car is scheduled to when you actually step off — not to a fixed clock set weeks earlier. A late dock does not cost you the ride or change the flat fare.
The driver meets your group curbside, right outside the PortMiami terminal exit, as you clear the building with your luggage. Request a name sign in advance on WhatsApp and the driver holds it so you spot the car quickly. Thirty minutes of courtesy waiting is included from your agreed pickup time.
Yes. Disembarkation-day pickups are exactly what this route is built for. Book at least 24 hours ahead and share your ship and terminal; the driver watches your arrival and meets you curbside once you clear customs. On busy mornings when several ships empty together, that ship tracking keeps your pickup timed to you.
The rate includes 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, and the vehicles are sized with room 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 private van so everything rides comfortably.
The price is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides together for the one flat rate shown in the pricing list above, whether that is the SUV or a private Sprinter van. Add passengers up to the vehicle’s capacity and the fare stays the same — nobody is charged a per-head price.
Our private Sprinter vans carry 6 to 14 riders for the single flat per-vehicle rate listed in the pricing section above — never a shared or scheduled shuttle. Whether it is the smaller or larger van, your group rides alone, and the price is locked at booking with no surge for demand.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Groups that split up inside the terminal end up arriving at the pickup point in ones and twos while the vehicle occupies a busy lane. Agree a waiting spot indoors before you dock, count heads there, and message us once the group is complete. The load then takes a couple of minutes and nobody is left scanning the sidewalk for a missing cousin.
