A private black-car transfer to or from Port of Miami and Fountainebleau rides in a reserved Black SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. Your driver meets your group curb-side at the PortMiami cruise terminal, then crosses the MacArthur Causeway over Biscayne Bay to the beachfront Fountainebleau on Miami Beach.
Each price is a flat, per-vehicle rate — your whole group rides for one fare, chosen by vehicle size:
The simplest way off the ship is a private vehicle booked ahead and matched to your group. Pick the Black SUV for up to five travelers, the Sprinter van for six to nine, or the larger van for ten to fourteen. Your driver waits curb-side as you clear the PortMiami cruise terminal, helps load and unload every bag, and there is ample room for stacked cruise luggage, so nobody wrestles a suitcase into a trunk. From there the ride is door-to-door, dropping you at the resort entrance rather than a shared stop. Reserve on our website or over WhatsApp at least 24 hours ahead; last-minute requests are still reviewed manually when time allows. The day before the trip, we text your driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate with clear pickup instructions, so you know exactly who to look for at the pier.
A private vehicle reserved for your group alone is the core of this service — you never share the SUV or van with strangers, and the fare is locked at booking with no surge for traffic or demand. Your bilingual driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the first minutes off a long sailing when directions and questions pile up. Booking runs straight through WhatsApp, so you reach a real person to confirm timing, request a name sign, or adjust group size. Drivers load and unload cruise luggage themselves, and the vehicle is climate-controlled for the Miami heat. For arriving and departing cruise passengers juggling tight embarkation windows and families with small children, a reserved car that shows up on your schedule beats hunting a curb line. One booking covers the whole party, terminal to resort.
Travel time to Fountainebleau shifts with the hour and the number of ships in port, so we quote no fixed figure. Disembarkation mornings, when several vessels empty at once, push traffic through downtown and onto the bay crossing more slowly, and mid-Beach roads around Collins Avenue fill on busy weekends. Midday and evening trips generally flow lighter. The route runs from the terminal across the causeway onto Miami Beach and up to the resort. Because the fare is per vehicle and set in advance, a slower crawl never changes what you pay. We plan the pickup around your ship’s scheduled disembark time and the daytime pickup window of 7 AM to 9 PM, so the car is ready when you actually reach the curb rather than a guessed clock time. If you are heading to the ship, we build in cushion for check-in.
Fountainebleau is an oceanfront resort landmark on Miami Beach’s Collins Avenue, wrapped in pools, restaurants, a spa, nightlife, and a wide stretch of Atlantic sand. The setting is classic beachfront Miami — walkable palm-lined blocks, ocean views, and the easy pace of a shoreline resort district. For the property’s own history, rooms, and event details, see the official Fontainebleau website, and to plan hours and passes ahead of your visit, use the official ticketing page.
The resort fronts the ocean along Collins Avenue, a beachfront corridor known for its sand, boardwalk strolls, and resort-row energy. Expect a walkable mix of oceanfront dining, poolside lounges, and evening spots, with the beach itself just past the property. It is a relaxed, sun-first pocket of Miami Beach where most of what a cruise traveler wants sits within an easy walk of the front doors, no second car required once you arrive.
The Atlantic beach is the headline attraction, steps from the resort and open for swimming, walking, and sunset watching. Along Collins Avenue you will find casual and upscale dining, cafes, and shopping, plus the wide oceanfront promenade that links long stretches of Miami Beach. Nightlife, spa time, and poolside afternoons round out a typical stay, all clustered close enough that your private transfer really only needs to handle the pier-to-resort leg.
Every option here is private and reserved for your party only. Lead with the Black SUV or SUV XL: it holds up to five passengers with cruise bags and suits couples, small families, or a few friends heading to the beach. Step up to the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to nine passengers when an extended family or a group with plenty of luggage rides together. For the largest parties — reunions, wedding blocks, multi-cabin families — the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van seats ten to fourteen. All three are climate-controlled and driven by a bilingual chauffeur, and all three cover the same terminal-to-resort route. Choosing by headcount keeps everyone in one vehicle rather than splitting across cars, and it locks the right amount of luggage space before you ever step off the ship. Tell us your group size and bag count and we confirm the fit.
The per-vehicle fare covers the full drive, tolls, SunPass, and fuel — no add-ons appear for the road itself. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot so the family can share arrival updates, and the driver loads and unloads your cruise luggage at both ends. Courtesy waiting is built in: 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed pickup time and 15 minutes for hotel pickups, giving customs and disembarkation lines room to breathe. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp when carried in a pet carrier. The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, with genuine room for cruise luggage in the SUV and vans.
A few things sit outside the flat fare. Driver gratuity is optional and always appreciated but never automatic. Food and drinks, parking costs, and unscheduled stops are not included, though a short nearby stop arranged in advance can usually be accommodated for a small fee. Waiting beyond the courtesy window is billed in 30-minute blocks. Card or payment-link transactions carry a 4% bank fee, noted once here so there are no surprises.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent by WhatsApp or on the website; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted, though cash is fine for the driver-day balance described below. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare shown above, booked as one reservation. The secure link keeps card details off email and text, and confirmation comes back to you directly once the deposit clears.
For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, the booking confirms with a 50% deposit, and the remaining 50% can be paid to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Reverse-direction pickups from farther out — Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond — require full payment in advance instead. Either way, your seat and vehicle are held once the confirming payment lands.
Cash is welcome for the driver-day balance on Miami-side pickups — the 50% you pay on trip day can be handed to the driver in cash. What we do not accept is the entire fare in cash at pickup with nothing paid ahead; the deposit or full prepayment must clear first through Venmo, Zelle, or the secure link so your vehicle is reserved and confirmed.
Relax — we track your ship’s arrival and disembark timing, and re-time the pickup at no extra cost when the vessel docks late. You never re-book or pay again for a delay outside your control. Thirty minutes of courtesy waiting at the terminal also gives customs and baggage lines room, so a slow exit still finds your driver waiting.
Your driver waits curb-side right at the PortMiami cruise terminal as your group exits. Request a name sign in advance over WhatsApp and the driver holds it at the pickup point so you spot them quickly amid the disembarkation crowd. The day before, we text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate so you know exactly who you are looking for.
Yes — disembarkation day is our core job. Book at least 24 hours ahead and we schedule the pickup around your ship’s off-boarding time, with the driver tracking the actual dock timing. Under-24-hour requests are still reviewed manually, though same-day availability is not guaranteed, so earlier booking secures your vehicle and preferred window.
The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and there is real room for stacked cruise luggage in every vehicle. 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, so nothing gets left on the curb.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under five, and each additional child seat carries a small extra fee confirmed at booking. Tell us your children’s ages and how many seats you need when you reserve, and we fit the right seats into your SUV or van before pickup day.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, provided they travel in a proper pet carrier. Let us know when you book so the driver expects the carrier and plans space accordingly. This keeps the ride comfortable for your group and any other passengers sharing your private vehicle on the way to Fountainebleau.
Our private van is the shuttle equivalent — never a shared or pooled ride. The rate is per vehicle, not per person, so your whole group travels for the one flat price listed in the Prices section above. A round trip is simply double the one-way, and a small surcharge applies for pickups outside daytime hours.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

El barco atracó temprano y avisamos al chofer. El chofer conocía la ruta perfectamente. Lo volveríamos a contratar sin pensarlo.
Pedimos una camioneta grande para el grupo. Nos dejaron en la puerta sin vueltas. Nos escribió cuando iba llegando al muelle. Quedamos muy conformes.
Salimos del barco más tarde de lo previsto. Todo el proceso fue más fácil de lo que pensé. Manejó tranquilo incluso con el tráfico del puerto. Cinco estrellas merecidas. Ventana de 20 minutos para el pickup.
Nos ayudaron con cada una de las maletas. Pagamos la mitad de seña y el resto al llegar. Sin duda la mejor parte del final del viaje.
The van was spotless inside. Waited patiently while we cleared the terminal. Fully recommended for getting out of the port.
