Private transfers to or from Port of Miami and Roosevelt Gardens run in a chauffeured Black SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver meets the group curbside at the cruise terminal, loads the luggage, and drives north along the interstate corridor straight to your Roosevelt Gardens door — no shared ride, no meter, no surge.
The transfer is priced per vehicle, not per seat, so your whole group rides for one flat total locked the moment you book.
Families are processed as a unit at arrival, so nobody should wander off to find a restroom while the rest of the party is called forward. Carry whatever document you sailed on — a passport, or the proof of citizenship and photo ID accepted on round-trip sailings that begin and end in the same U.S. port — somewhere you can reach without opening a case. Sleeping toddlers count as passengers and need to be visible too.
A pre-booked private vehicle is the direct way to reach Roosevelt Gardens straight off the ship. You pick the tier that fits your party: a Black SUV for up to five, a private Sprinter van for six to nine, or the larger private van for ten to fourteen. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead — under-24-hour requests are still reviewed manually, though availability isn’t promised. The day before your journey we text the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and the license plate with clear pickup instructions. On cruise day, your driver waits curbside at the terminal, holds a name sign if you asked on WhatsApp, helps load every bag, and drives door-to-door to your Roosevelt Gardens address. There’s real room for cruise luggage, so families don’t split across cars. One booking, one vehicle, one organized pickup — no waiting in a rideshare queue after you disembark.
A private vehicle reserved for your group only is the core of what you book — no strangers, no pooled seats, no rerouting to pick up others. The fare is a flat per-vehicle rate set at booking, so demand and traffic never change the number you agreed to. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which makes coordinating a hectic disembarkation morning simple. Drivers assist load and unload the cruise luggage themselves, so nobody wrestles bags across the terminal. You reach us directly on WhatsApp to arrange the name sign, confirm timing, or flag extra bags — a real person, not an app queue. For cruise passengers on a tight post-ship schedule, that combination of a locked price, a named driver, and a vehicle sized to your group turns a chaotic terminal exit into a single planned pickup.
The ride heads north from the cruise terminal along the interstate corridor toward Broward County, where Roosevelt Gardens sits. Off-peak, when the highways are clear, the run is a straight, uninterrupted drive with no transfers or stops. Timing shifts with the day: mid-morning and midday tend to move well, while the heaviest cruise-day windows can slow the corridor. Because the fare is flat, none of that changes your price — a longer drive in traffic costs the same as a clear run. Your driver monitors the ship’s disembark timing and sets out to meet you as you clear the terminal, so you’re not paying for a car idling for hours before you’re ready.
It can. When three or more ships disembark on the same morning, terminal roads and the northbound corridor fill with departing passengers at once. Your driver plans around those peak windows and the ship’s cleared-customs timing. The flat rate holds either way, so a slower traffic day never adds a cent to your fare.
Roosevelt Gardens is a quiet, residential community in Broward County, north of the cruise port, made up of low-rise homes and tree-lined streets rather than high-rise towers. It’s a peaceful, largely local neighborhood close to the wider Fort Lauderdale region, with everyday dining, groceries, and shopping in the surrounding streets.
It’s a settled, residential pocket rather than a tourist strip — single-family homes, apartments, and local errands within reach. The pace is quiet and family-oriented, a contrast to the bustle of the cruise terminal. For arriving passengers it’s an easy place to unwind, and for departing ones it’s a straightforward starting point for the drive to the ship.
Travelers who want a base nearby usually look to the broader Fort Lauderdale and central Broward areas, where lodging clusters along the main corridors. Whichever area you choose, we drive you door-to-door to that address in a single private vehicle, so your stay’s location never means an extra transfer or a shared ride from the port.
Three private tiers cover couples through large families, each reserved for your group alone.
For most families the private Sprinter van wins, keeping everyone and every bag together in one vehicle instead of splitting into two cars. Couples and parties of five do well in the Black SUV. Larger groups of ten to fourteen fit the bigger van. Whichever you choose, the price is per vehicle, so the whole party shares one flat fare.
Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all built into the per-vehicle rate — no roadside top-ups. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot for the ride. Courtesy waiting is included: 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed pickup time and 15 minutes at hotel pickups, after which extra waiting is billed in 30-minute blocks. Drivers assist load and unload the cruise luggage, and the day before your journey you receive the driver’s name, vehicle model, and plate number with pickup instructions by text.
Food and beverages, parking costs, and driver gratuity sit outside the fare — a tip is optional and always appreciated. Unscheduled detours aren’t included either, though a short nearby stop arranged in advance can be accommodated, with a small fee possible. Everything covered by the booking is stated above, so nothing appears as a surprise on trip day.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under five, arranged when you book. Each additional child seat carries a small extra charge confirmed at booking. Just tell us the number and ages of children on WhatsApp ahead of time so the right seats are installed and ready in your private vehicle before pickup.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a proper pet carrier for the ride. Let us know when you book so the driver and vehicle are prepared. Since the vehicle is private and reserved for your group only, your pet travels with you and no one else is aboard.
Yes — every vehicle carries onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, so you can message family, confirm your Roosevelt Gardens address, or check messages after a week at sea. It’s part of the flat rate at no added cost, useful especially for arriving passengers reconnecting the moment they step off the ship.
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 isn’t accepted, though cash may cover the driver-day balance on Miami-side pickups. A round journey is merely double the one-way rate. 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. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas such as Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond require full payment in advance.
For a Miami-side pickup — starting at the Port of Miami — a 50% deposit locks your booking and driver. The other 50% is paid to the driver on trip day, and cash is fine for that balance. Pickups originating from farther northern areas are settled in full ahead of time instead of split.
Yes — a round trip is exactly two times the one-way per-vehicle price, with no hidden add-on for booking both legs together. Reserving the return at the same time secures the same vehicle tier and a coordinated pickup for your sailing day, so your departure back to the port is planned alongside your arrival.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Pickups outside that window carry a small added charge that depends on your vehicle.
Your pickup is re-timed at no extra cost. Drivers track your ship’s arrival and disembark timing, so a late dock merely shifts the meet — you’re not charged for the delay or forced to rebook. Courtesy waiting of 30 minutes from the agreed time is included at the terminal, giving your group room to clear customs.
Yes. Real-time monitoring covers both ship arrivals and flights, so for a departure run to an airport the driver watches your schedule and adjusts. On the cruise side, the driver follows your ship’s disembark updates. Either way, the flat rate holds and the pickup is timed to when you’re actually ready.
Your driver meets the group curbside right at the cruise terminal as you exit, holding a name sign if you request one on WhatsApp in advance. There’s no hunting through a rideshare lot — the pickup is at the terminal itself. The driver helps load your cruise luggage before the door-to-door drive to Roosevelt Gardens begins.
Absolutely — disembarkation-day pickups at PortMiami are exactly what this transfer is built for. Book at least 24 hours ahead, share your ship and terminal, and the driver monitors your dock time to meet you as you exit. Service runs 24/7, year-round, so an early clearance or a late one is covered.
Yes — pickups run around the clock, every day of the year. Daytime hours of 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM carry no surcharge; outside that window a small late-hour charge applies per the surcharge above. An early red-eye disembarkation or a late-evening ship arrival is handled the same coordinated way.
Each passenger’s rate covers one checked bag plus one carry-on, with genuine room for cruise luggage in every tier. If your group is carrying extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van. The driver loads and unloads everything for you.
The rate is per vehicle, never per person. Your whole group rides for the single flat total shown in the price list above, whether that’s a couple in the SUV or fourteen travelers in the large van. Nobody splits with strangers, and a round journey is merely double that one-way vehicle price.
The private van often searched as a “shuttle” is a fully private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter reserved only for your group — never shared or pooled. It’s the flat per-vehicle price listed in the prices section above, covering everyone aboard. You never buy per seat or wait for other passengers before departing the terminal.
Carrying your whole party in one private SUV or Sprinter van means a single vehicle makes the trip instead of a family splitting across several cars from the terminal. For groups, the larger van keeps ten to fourteen people together in one run — one coordinated pickup, one flat fare, one vehicle north.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

The port’s rhythm changes with the calendar. A single mid-week arrival empties quietly; a holiday weekend, or a Sunday when several large ships turn around at once, fills the halls, the taxi ranks and the roads off the island at the same hour. Tell us the day of the week along with the date and the collection window is set with that morning’s traffic in mind rather than an average one.
