A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Westwood Lakes rides in a chauffeured Black SUV at a flat rate from $140 per vehicle, with a bilingual driver, curb-side cruise-terminal pickup, and door-to-door drop-off. The route runs southwest across Miami’s expressway network, with ample of room for cruise luggage and no surge pricing at any hour.
Fares are flat, per vehicle, and set by group size for the private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Westwood Lakes:
The top way to journey to or from the cruise terminal is a private vehicle booked ahead, sized to your group. Select the Black SUV for up to five cruise passengers, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to nine, or the larger van for ten to fourteen — each reserved for your party alone, with room for suitcases stacked from a full sailing. The driver waits curb-side as you clear the terminal, helps load every bag, and drives door-to-door to your Westwood Lakes address. Booking is simple: send your ship name, sailing date, group size, and drop-off address by WhatsApp or the website, and we confirm the vehicle and driver. Details — driver name, vehicle make, and license plate — arrive by text the day before, so you step off the ship knowing exactly who and what to look for.
Your driver meets you curb-side right outside the PortMiami cruise terminal as your group exits. Ask on WhatsApp in advance and the driver holds a name sign, making the handoff easy in a crowd. From there, bags are loaded and you head straight to Westwood Lakes.
Yes. Disembarkation-day pickups are our core service. Book at least 24 hours ahead with your ship name and sailing date, and the driver plans around your scheduled debark. Even under-24-hour requests get a manual review, though same-day availability is not guaranteed.
If your ship docks late, there is no penalty and no re-booking. The driver tracks your ship’s arrival and disembark timing and re-times the pickup at no extra cost. Your 30-minute courtesy wait at the terminal starts from the agreed pickup time.
Booking with us puts a private vehicle, reserved for your group alone, at the terminal curb — no pooling, no strangers, no detours to other riders. The fare is a flat rate locked at booking: it never surges for peak demand, heavy traffic, or a holiday sailing, so the number you agree to is the number you pay. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the arrival when you have just stepped off an international cruise. You reach that driver directly by WhatsApp, not through a queue, so a gate change or a slow customs line is a swift message away. For cruise passengers juggling luggage, tired kids, and a tight schedule, a pre-arranged private car waiting with your name beats hunting for a ride outside a packed terminal.
Drive time to or from Port of Miami and Westwood Lakes depends on traffic rather than a fixed clock, since the route crosses Miami’s hectic expressway network. Off-peak — mid-morning, early afternoon, or later evening — the ride runs smoothly southwest to the quiet residential streets of Westwood Lakes. During weekday rush hours the same journey stretches longer as commuter traffic fills the expressways. The single biggest variable on a cruise transfer is disembarkation morning: when several ships empty at once, the roads immediately around the terminal crawl, and the first stretch away from the port is the slowest part of the day. Traffic adds minutes, not stress: we build in a generous curb-side waiting window, so a slow start never means a missed pickup. Offer us your ship name and we plan the timing around your scheduled debark.
Westwood Lakes is a quiet residential neighborhood in unincorporated southwest Miami-Dade County, named for the small lakes that thread through its blocks. It is a settled, family-oriented suburb of low-rise single-family homes, tree-lined streets, and neighborhood parks rather than a tourist strip — the kind of place cruise travelers head to visiting family, returning home, or basing a quieter stay away from the crowds. Everyday shopping, casual dining, and local services sit close by along the surrounding commercial corridors, and the larger malls and attractions of greater Miami are an simple private ride away. The area is represented by the Westwood Lakes community association, and green space at Westwood Lakes Park gives families a spot to unwind. Our door-to-door drop-off takes you straight to your address, luggage and all.
Westwood Lakes is mainly a residential community, so most visitors stay with family or in a private rental among its quiet streets. For a hotel base, travelers often look to broader southwest Miami-Dade or the nearby Kendall area, then take a private transfer in for their visits.
Day-to-day life in Westwood Lakes centers on neighborhood parks, local eateries, and shopping plazas along the nearby commercial roads. Families enjoy the green space and playgrounds close to home, while the wider attractions, beaches, and nightlife of greater Miami are a straightforward private ride away when you want them.
Your flat rate covers the whole ride door-to-door, with the extras cruise passengers actually use built in. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all included, so nothing is added mid-route. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, letting the group check messages or a flight after a week at sea. The driver helps load and unload every piece of cruise luggage, and a courtesy waiting window is built in — 30 minutes at the terminal from your agreed pickup time, and 15 minutes for a hotel pickup — before any extra waiting is billed in half-hour blocks. Driver details reach you by text the day before with clear pickup instructions. What you agreed at booking is what the journey delivers, with the practical needs of a cruise arrival handled from the moment you step onto the curb.
The fare leaves out food and drinks, driver gratuity (optional and always appreciated), parking fees, and unscheduled stops. A short stop arranged in advance can usually be added — message us and we confirm, as a small fee may apply. Everything tied to the ride itself is already in the rate.
Small pets travel with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier. For families, the first child seat for a child under five comes at no charge; each additional seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Tell us ages and seat needs when you reserve and we set the vehicle up.
Every passenger gets one checked bag plus one carry-on, and there is room for a full sailing’s cruise luggage in both the SUV and the vans. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space, or size you up to a larger van.
This part of the county pairs the SW prefix with numbered streets, avenues, courts, terraces and lanes, and several of those types can carry the same number within a short distance of one another. Write the address out in full — prefix, number, street type — instead of shortening it, and send a pin from your phone. For a duplex or a corner lot, naming the cross street helps as well.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent by WhatsApp or on the website; card and link payments carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash at pickup is not accepted, though cash is welcome for the balance owed to the driver on journey day. A round journey is simply double the one-way price — the same vehicle, booked in both directions. For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% goes to the driver on journey day, cash accepted. Reverse-direction pickups from farther out — Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond — are paid in full ahead of the journey. Book at least 24 hours in advance for the smoothest confirmation; shorter-notice requests are reviewed by hand, though availability is not guaranteed.
No — one reservation covers both directions. The round-trip price is double the one-way, and the same driver and vehicle class handle each leg. Give us both dates and times when you book, and we schedule the outbound cruise-terminal pickup and the return together.
Every vehicle is private and reserved for your group alone — pick the tier that matches your headcount and luggage.
This transfer links Westwood Lakes directly with the PortMiami cruise terminals. We also run private rides to Miami International Airport, and door-to-door drop-offs onward to other South Florida ports, airports, and cities — Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Naples, and beyond — all in the same private SUV or van.
The price is per vehicle, never per person. Your whole group rides for the one flat fare shown above, whether the SUV carries two passengers or five. Adding riders up to the vehicle’s capacity does not change the rate — you only move up a tier when the group outgrows the seats.
Cancel with 24 or more hours’ notice for a full refund; inside 24 hours the booking is non-refundable. Require a new pickup time? Move it with 24 or more hours’ notice, subject to availability. Reach us directly on WhatsApp and we handle the change rapidly.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM carry no surcharge. Trips outside that window add a small late-hour charge:
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

A rescheduled sailing, a return day moved back or a dropped port call all change the day you need a vehicle, and none of it is in your hands. Send the revised details as soon as they land in your inbox. The reservation is held against a date and a time rather than one specific car, so it travels with you when we hear early enough.
Send your ship name, sailing date, group size, and Westwood Lakes address, and we confirm your private SUV or van, the flat fare, and your driver. Book at least 24 hours ahead for the smoothest confirmation, and your driver’s name, vehicle, and plate arrive by text the day before you journey.

Adorei o serviço. saiu mais barato que o Uber Black da viagem passada. pousamos às 23h e o carro já tava lá. Tudo certo no geral!
Punto a favor. nada de llamar mil veces, una respuesta y listo. viaje fluido desde la acera hasta el lobby. Forma perfecta de llegar a Miami.
Viajando con amigos, todo el grupo, se adelantó unos minutos, perfecto. sin peajes sorpresa, sin sobreventa, solo el viaje.
Reservé la noche anterior, trajimos a mis papás, ya somos clientes habituales para los traslados al puerto. incluso con tráfico la ruta tuvo sentido. Todo justo a tiempo.
Going solo, I needed something easy and polite, professional, made me feel welcome. wifi worked, kids stayed busy on the way. Glad I picked this option.
