Private transportation to or from Port of Miami and Pine Air runs on a flat rate from $250 per vehicle in a black SUV for up to five passengers, with private vans for groups of six to fourteen. Book one door-to-door ride for your whole party — the driver meets you curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, luggage and all, with no shared seats and no surge pricing.
Every fare below is per vehicle for your private group — one price covers everyone aboard, from a single traveler to a full van.
A published itinerary is not a promise. Weather in the Caribbean, a mechanical issue or a medical diversion can put a ship back alongside on a different calendar day than the one your ticket shows. That is a booking change rather than a timing one, so send us the revised day as soon as the cruise line confirms it and the reservation follows the ship instead of expiring against the original date.
Book a private door-to-door ride and skip the taxi line entirely. Pick the vehicle that matches your group: a black SUV for up to five passengers, a private Sprinter van for six to nine, or a larger private van for ten to fourteen — each reserved for your party alone, with space for cruise cases and carry-ons. Send your ship name, disembark date, and headcount over WhatsApp or the website at least 24 hours ahead, and the driver handles the rest. On cruise day the driver pulls up to the terminal, helps load every bag, and drives you straight to your Pine Air address — no transfers, no stops you did not ask for, no other passengers sharing the vehicle. The whole journey runs to or from Port of Miami and Pine Air on one fare, so you know the full cost before you ever step off the ship.
Every ride is private — your group is the only party in the vehicle, never pooled with strangers. The fare is locked when you book, so demand spikes, holiday weekends, and disembark-morning rushes never change what you pay. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the pickup when families are tired and juggling luggage after a long sailing. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp — not an app queue — to set the pickup, add a stop, or confirm a name sign. Drivers help lift every checked bag and carry-on into the vehicle and unload them at the door, so no one wrestles cruise luggage across a parking garage. For cruise passengers on a tight turnaround, that combination — one reserved vehicle, a fixed price, a driver who knows the terminal — is what makes the transfer to Pine Air simple from curb to door.
Drive time swings with the day and the hour you leave the ship, so there is no single fixed number. Off the peaks, the journey to Pine Air is a direct, simple drive that moves well. The slow stretch is disembark morning: when several ships unload together and thousands of passengers clear customs at once, traffic around the cruise terminal tightens before it loosens up on the open road. Late-evening runs back toward Port of Miami tend to flow faster. Your driver plans the route around the hectic windows and the terminal exits, so tired families are not left circling while everyone else is trying to leave at the same moment. Because the pickup is timed to when you actually walk out, the wait stays short on both hectic and quiet days.
Pine Air is a quiet, low-rise residential region — the kind of settled neighborhood where everyday errands, local eateries, and ordinary streets take the place of the cruise-port crowds you just left behind. It suits travelers who want a peaceful base rather than a tourist strip, with simple access to the wider region’s shops and services. Whatever brings you here, the transfer drops you right at the door with your luggage.
Pine Air itself is mostly residential, so many cruise travelers base themselves in the wider area’s better-known districts — a walkable downtown or business quarter for dining and nightlife, or a beach-side area if you want sand nearby — and use the private transfer to move between them. Wherever you land, we drive you door to door, so your lodging choice never complicates the pickup.
Expect an everyday, lived-in neighborhood rather than a landmark district: local dining, small shops, and quiet streets close at hand, with the region’s bigger attractions, waterfront, and shopping reachable by car. It is an easy place to unwind after a sailing, and a straightforward starting point when you head back toward the cruise port or onward across the metro.
Three private vehicle tiers cover any cruise group, all reserved for your party alone. A black SUV or SUV XL seats up to five passengers with room for their cruise bags — the pick for couples, small families, and solo travelers. A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van carries six to nine passengers when a couple of families sail together. The larger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van holds ten to fourteen passengers, perfect for a large multi-generational group or a group of friends disembarking as one party. Not sure which fits your headcount and luggage? Message us on WhatsApp with your numbers and we confirm the right size — or step up to the larger van if you are carrying extra or oversized bags. Every tier is private point-to-point service, so no one outside your group ever shares the ride.
The flat rate covers the driving essentials so the price you book is close to the price you pay. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, handy for checking messages or a return flight while you ride. Courtesy waiting is built in — thirty minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed pickup time and fifteen minutes for a hotel pickup; beyond that, extra waiting is billed in half-hour blocks. The night before your journey, we text the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and the license plate along with exact pickup instructions, so no one is guessing who to look for. Standard luggage — one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger — rides included, with genuine room set aside for cruise cases.
Small pets ride with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier. Child seats are available too: the first child seat is free for a child under five, and any additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed when you book. Tell us the ages and how many seats you need ahead of time and we bring them ready to go.
Food and drinks, driver gratuity (optional and always appreciated), parking fees, and unplanned detours sit outside the flat rate. A short stop arranged in advance can usually be added, and a small fee may apply. Card or payment-link transactions carry a 4% bank fee. Everything else needed for the transfer itself is already covered.
Pay by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website — full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A round journey is merely double the one-way fare, booked as one reservation for both legs. For a pickup that starts 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 out, such as Broward or Palm Beach, are paid in full ahead of the journey. Book at least 24 hours in advance so we can lock the vehicle and driver; last-minute requests under 24 hours are still reviewed by hand, though availability is not guaranteed. Need to shift your pickup time? Move it with 24-plus hours notice, subject to availability.
Pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no added charge. Rides that begin outside those daytime hours add a small night surcharge, applied per vehicle:
Nothing changes on your end and there is no penalty. Your driver tracks the ship’s arrival and disembark timing, so if the vessel docks late the pickup is merely re-timed at no extra cost. You clear customs, walk out, and the vehicle is there — no re-booking and no scramble on your side.
The driver meets your group curbside as you exit the terminal, right where passengers come out after clearing customs. Ask on WhatsApp in advance and the driver holds a name sign so you spot them fast in the disembark crowd. They help load every bag before you pull away.
Yes — disembark day is exactly what this transfer is built for. Give us your ship name and disembark date when you book, at least 24 hours ahead, and the driver plans the pickup around your terminal’s clearing time. Morning is busiest as ships unload together, so early booking secures your vehicle.
Each passenger gets one checked bag plus one carry-on included, and the vehicles are chosen with cruise luggage in mind. Carrying 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 fits.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one price shown in the fare list above, whether that is a single traveler or a full van. A round trip is simply double the one-way. There is no per-head charge and no shared seating with anyone outside your party.
A private van works like a shuttle but stays yours alone — no shared seats. The van fare is the single per-vehicle price listed in the fare section above, covering six to nine or ten to fourteen passengers depending on the size you pick. Book it as one reservation for your group.
Yes — the transfer runs both directions, to or from Port of Miami and Pine Air. Book the return the same way: offer us the Pine Air pickup address, the date, and the time you need to be at the cruise terminal, and the driver builds in a cushion for traffic so you create embarkation with room to spare. It is the same private vehicle and the same door-to-door service in reverse. Many cruise travelers reserve both legs together as one round-journey booking, so the whole voyage — ship to door and back — is settled before they pack.
Yes — beyond the cruise port we also run private transfers to or from Miami International Airport (MIA), a common pairing when a cruise bookends a flight. The same private vehicles apply: a black SUV up to five, or a private Sprinter van for larger groups, with the driver meeting you at the terminal and handling the luggage. If you are flying in before your sailing or out afterward, we can connect the airport, your Pine Air stay, and PortMiami in coordinated private rides. Pickups are offered at MIA and PortMiami; drop-offs reach airports, ports, and addresses across the region. Message us with your flight and ship details and we line up the timing.
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 declaration usually covers a family traveling on the same cabin account, filled in by whoever holds it, and it asks what you brought back from foreign ports. Agricultural goods are the common trip-up: citrus picked up on an island, cuttings, seeds and most meat products go into the amnesty bins near the exit rather than through the desk with you.
