A private Black SUV or Sprinter van runs to or from Port of Miami and Golden Beach at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle, booked door-to-door for arriving and departing cruise passengers. The drive heads north up the coast to this quiet oceanfront town at Miami-Dade’s northern edge. Your whole group rides privately — up to five in an SUV, six to fourteen in a van — with room for every cruise bag.
The prices below are the complete per-vehicle cost for a private transfer between the PortMiami cruise terminal and Golden Beach — one total for the whole group, in either direction.
Book a private Black SUV or Sprinter van, meet your driver curbside, and ride door-to-door — that is the whole trip in three steps. Pick the SUV for up to five cruise passengers, the six-to-nine van for a family, or the ten-to-fourteen van for a larger group. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead on WhatsApp or the website, and share your ship, terminal, and headcount so we assign the right vehicle. On disembark day your driver is waiting right outside the terminal exit as you come out with your bags, then drives north up the coast straight to your Golden Beach address. No connections and no schedule to wait for — one booking carries your whole party the entire way.
A private Black SUV or Sprinter van reserved for your party is the core of what you book — no shared ride, no strangers, no extra stops. Your bilingual driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the arrival for international cruise guests. The fare is locked at booking with no surge, so demand and traffic never change the number you agreed to. You reach us directly on WhatsApp to arrange the pickup, adjust the timing, or ask for a name sign. Drivers help load and unload your cruise luggage and take you straight to the door. It is a coordinated, private ride built around the cruise-terminal schedule, not a generic point-to-point booking.
Drive time depends on the hour and the crowds, so the ride can run quick or slow but always stays direct. Off-peak, in the daytime hours, the coastal route north to Golden Beach tends to move smoothly. On heavy disembarkation mornings, when several ships empty at once, terminal roads and the northbound corridor bunch up and the same trip takes longer. Weekday rush hours add time too. Your driver watches conditions in real time and takes the cleanest path, and we plan your pickup around the ship’s actual clearance so you are not left standing on the curb while traffic sorts itself out. Because everything is arranged ahead, a busy day means a longer drive, never a scramble to find a ride.
Group size picks the vehicle, and each one is private to your party alone. Lead with the Black SUV for smaller cruise parties, and step up to a Sprinter van as your headcount grows.
Not sure which to choose? Send your headcount and bag count on WhatsApp and we match you to the right size before you pay.
Golden Beach is a small, affluent oceanfront town at the northern edge of Miami-Dade County, tucked between Sunny Isles Beach and the Broward County line. It is purely residential — a private stretch of Atlantic beachfront, calm tree-lined streets, and none of the high-rise crowds you find farther south. For arriving cruise passengers it is a quiet, upscale place to unwind after a sailing, and for departing guests it is an easy, unhurried start to the trip back to the ship. You can read more in the official Golden Beach neighborhood guide. Our drivers know the residential layout and take you straight to the exact address, luggage and all.
Golden Beach is a residential town with no hotels of its own, so most cruise visitors base themselves in the neighboring areas just south — around Sunny Isles Beach or Aventura — then ride in for the day. We drive door-to-door to any Golden Beach address or to lodging in those nearby areas.
Golden Beach is about a quiet stretch of private Atlantic shoreline and calm, low-key streets rather than nightlife or shops. Cruise travelers come for the beach, the slow pace, and easy reach of the wider dining and shopping scene in the adjacent Sunny Isles and Aventura areas just to the south.
The fare covers the whole ride and its running costs, so the price on the list is what you plan around. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are already built in, and there is nothing to settle at a booth along the way. A few comforts come with the private vehicle as standard, from onboard connectivity to a courtesy wait built around cruise-day timing.
A few things sit outside the rate: driver gratuity (optional, always appreciated), parking fees where they apply, and any waiting past the courtesy window, billed in 30-minute blocks. Food and drinks are not included. Extra or oversized bags are welcome — message us on WhatsApp ahead so we confirm space or size you up to a larger van.
Payment is handled digitally, never as full cash at the curb. You pay by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or on the website; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee. This keeps the transaction traceable and confirmed in writing before your trip, and it means the driver on cruise day only handles your ride, not your money. Choose whichever method is easiest and we send the request as soon as your pickup is confirmed. For a nearby, close-in pickup, cash to the driver on trip day is also fine as the balance.
A round trip is simply double the one-way price. A pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side confirms with a 50% deposit, and the remaining 50% goes to the driver on trip day (cash accepted). Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas like Broward or Palm Beach are paid in full ahead of time.
Yes. Every charge goes through a secure link, Venmo, or Zelle, so you never read card numbers aloud or hand cash at a busy terminal. Your booking is confirmed in writing the moment it is set, and the driver receives your trip details but none of your payment information. Cancel 24+ hours ahead for a full refund.
These are the questions we hear most from cruise travelers planning a Golden Beach pickup. Each answer states exactly how our private service handles the situation, straight from our booking policy.
Nothing changes for you. Your driver monitors the ship’s arrival and disembark timing and re-times your pickup at no extra cost when the ship docks late. The same driver keeps waiting and greets your group at the terminal as you come off — you never rebook or pay more for the delay.
Your driver meets your group curbside, right outside the PortMiami terminal exit, as you walk out with your luggage. Request a name sign over WhatsApp in advance and the driver holds it up so you spot them quickly. From there it is a door-to-door drive to your Golden Beach address.
Book at least 24 hours ahead by WhatsApp or the website and you get confirmation back quickly. The day before your trip we text the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate, along with exact pickup instructions, so you know precisely who to look for at the terminal.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under five, and each additional seat carries a small fee confirmed when you book. Tell us the ages over WhatsApp in advance so the correct seats are installed and ready in your private SUV or van before pickup.
Plan on one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, with plenty of room for cruise luggage in the SUV or van. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp ahead of time and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van.
Per vehicle. The whole group rides for the single per-vehicle price shown in the price list above — it does not multiply by the number of passengers. A round trip is simply double the one-way. That makes a private SUV or van especially good value for families and larger cruise groups.
A private shuttle for your group is our Sprinter van, priced per vehicle at the van rate shown in the price list above — never per seat, because the vehicle is yours alone. Choose the 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 van by group size. Smaller parties ride the private Black SUV instead.
Bookings that fall outside the 7 AM to 9 PM daytime window carry a small off-hours surcharge, added once per trip.
Many cruise travelers weigh a private transfer against an app-based ride from the terminal. Here is the head-to-head on price, vehicle, meet-up, and delays for a PortMiami pickup.

Send your sailing date, ship, terminal, group size, and any child-seat or extra-bag needs by WhatsApp or the website, at least 24 hours ahead, and we confirm your private vehicle in writing. Under-24-hour requests are still reviewed by hand when we can fit them. We run every day of the year, in both directions — terminal to Golden Beach for arrivals, Golden Beach to the ship for departures.

Mi esposa encontró este servicio buscando traslados del puerto. El chofer conocía la ruta perfectamente
Nos recogieron justo a la salida de la terminal de cruceros. La tarifa fue la misma que nos cotizaron.
El viaje salió exactamente como lo pidieron. Respetó los límites de velocidad todo el trayecto.
O motorista atrasou uns dez minutos.
