A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Leisure City rides in a reserved Black SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle, with a bilingual driver who meets your group curbside at the cruise terminal. The route runs south through Miami-Dade County, door to door, with room for every cruise bag — no shared seats and no surge pricing.
Prices below are per vehicle, not per person, so your whole group rides to or from the port for one total.
Getting to Leisure City from the cruise terminal takes one booking and one private vehicle reserved just for your group — a Black SUV or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, matched to your headcount. After you clear the ship and collect your bags, your bilingual driver meets you curbside at the PortMiami terminal and helps with every suitcase. From there it is a direct, door-to-door ride south through Miami-Dade County to your Leisure City address, with no shared seats and no stopping for other travelers. To reserve, message us on WhatsApp or through the website in advance; the day before your trip we text your driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate, so you know exactly who to look for the moment you step onto the curb. One message sets the whole cruise-day pickup in motion.
Booking with us puts a bilingual driver and a private vehicle at your service for one locked price. The fare is set the moment you reserve, so a crowded disembarkation morning never changes what you pay — there is no surge and no per-person math. Your driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese and greets your family by name at the curb, then keeps the ride moving straight to your door. Because the SUV or van belongs to your party alone, you never share the ride and never wait on strangers headed somewhere else. You reach us directly on WhatsApp for every question, change, or special request, and the same team that replies to your message is the one that dispatches your driver to the terminal. That direct line keeps a tight cruise schedule simple from the first text to the final drop-off.
It is fully private. The SUV or van is reserved for your group alone, with no other passengers, no pooling, and no extra stops for people going elsewhere. From the terminal to your Leisure City door, the vehicle, the driver, and the schedule all belong to your party.
The ride to Leisure City runs south from the cruise terminal through Miami-Dade County, and how long it takes depends far more on the port than on the road. On a calm, off-peak departure the drive is straightforward and moves at a steady pace with little standing traffic. On a busy disembarkation morning — when thousands of passengers reach the curb within the same short window — the first stretch leaving the terminal area is slower, and county rush hour can stack more time on top of that. Because your vehicle is private and direct, with no shared pickups and no detours to collect other travelers, your ride stays as short as the day’s conditions allow. Your driver watches live traffic and your ship’s arrival at the same time, then chooses the cleanest way out of the port on the morning you actually travel, rather than a fixed route set weeks earlier.
Leisure City is a quiet, mostly residential community in the southern reaches of Miami-Dade County, a world away from the high-rises of downtown. Streets here are low-key and practical, lined with everyday shops, casual eateries, and family homes rather than tourist crowds — a calm base after days at sea. The wider area is a jumping-off point for some of South Florida’s biggest outdoor draws: the sawgrass and airboats of Everglades National Park, the reefs and islands of Biscayne National Park, and the long drive south toward the Florida Keys. Whether Leisure City is your home, a family visit, or a stopover before the parks, your private transfer drops you right at the door with your luggage, so your time ashore starts the moment you leave the terminal.
Most visitors base themselves right in the Leisure City and greater Homestead area of south Miami-Dade, close to shops, dining, and the routes toward the parks and the Keys. We drop you at any local address you choose — a private home, a rental, or a hotel — with your bags carried to the door.
Day trips fan out in every direction from this corner of Miami-Dade. Nature lovers head for the Everglades and Biscayne national parks, motorsport fans toward the local speedway, and road-trippers point south for the Keys. Closer in, you will find grocery stores, casual restaurants, and neighborhood parks for an easy afternoon.
Every option is a private vehicle held for your group alone — pick the size that matches your party and your luggage.
Your rate covers the whole ride, not just the seat — the price you see at booking is what the trip costs. Every vehicle is climate-controlled, the driver is bilingual, and courtesy waiting is built in: 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from your agreed pickup time, and 15 minutes at hotel pickups. After that window, extra waiting is billed in 30-minute blocks. The essentials cruise travelers ask about most are spelled out below, and anything beyond the standard ride is easy to arrange ahead of time.
A few things sit outside the rate: food and drinks, the optional driver gratuity, any parking fees, and unscheduled stops along the way. A short, planned stop can usually be added if you arrange it ahead of time, and a small fee may apply depending on what you need.
You pay with Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website — full cash payment up front is not accepted, though card and link payments carry a small 4% bank fee. A round trip is simply double the one-way vehicle rate, booked as one reservation so your return is locked in before you sail. 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 trip day, cash included. Reverse-direction trips that begin farther out — up in Broward, Palm Beach, or beyond — are paid in full ahead of time. Cancel with 24 or more hours’ notice for a full refund; inside 24 hours the booking is non-refundable. It all stays clear and settled before you travel.
Cruise luggage fits — that is exactly what these vehicles are built for. The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and there is genuine room for the kind of full suitcases a cruise leaves you with. Your driver loads and unloads every bag at both the terminal and your door, so nobody hauls a case across a parking lot. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Send us a quick message on WhatsApp before your trip and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van, so the whole group and all the luggage ride together. Choosing the right vehicle for your headcount and your bags is part of the booking conversation, and we would rather sort it out in advance than leave you guessing at the curb.
Rides that fall outside standard daytime hours carry a small after-hours surcharge — the only add-on to the flat rate. It is a fixed amount, disclosed up front when you book, and it never turns into a surge.
Quick answers to what cruise travelers ask most about this transfer.
Nothing changes on your end. Your driver tracks your ship’s arrival in real time and re-times the pickup automatically at no extra cost, so a late berth or a slow customs line never means losing your ride or paying more. You simply meet the driver at the curb whenever you actually clear the terminal.
Your driver waits curbside right at the PortMiami cruise terminal as you step out. Ask for a name sign on WhatsApp beforehand and they will hold it up so you spot them quickly among the crowds. From there it is a short walk to a vehicle reserved only for your group.
Yes — disembarkation day is the most common pickup we run. Book at least 24 hours ahead and your driver is scheduled around your ship’s arrival window, meeting you as soon as you clear the terminal with your luggage. Same-day requests under 24 hours are reviewed manually, though availability is not guaranteed.
A private shuttle here means a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van kept for your group alone — never a shared or pooled ride. The rate is per vehicle, not per person, so your whole party travels for the one price listed above, and a round trip is simply double the one-way. A small surcharge applies outside daytime hours.
You can shift a booked pickup with 24 or more hours’ notice, subject to availability — just message us on WhatsApp. Because your driver tracks the ship anyway, small real-world delays on cruise morning are handled automatically. Larger changes are easy to sort as long as you give us that day-ahead heads-up.
Yes. We run the route in both directions — a pickup at your Leisure City address to catch your ship, or a ride from the terminal after you dock. Trips that begin farther out are simply paid in full ahead of time, and the per-vehicle rate is the same either way.
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 navegador del chofer eligió una ruta con peaje lento, pero el chofer se disculpó y fue amable.
We were worn out after a week at sea. The fare matched the quote to the dollar. They answered messages within minutes. Five stars, earned.
El radio iba un poco fuerte al principio, pero lo resolvieron rápido por mensaje.
Nos escribieron confirmando todo el mismo día. El vehículo era amplio y estaba mu limpio. Respetó los límites de velocidad todo el trayecto. Nos sacaron un peso de encima.
Armamos el viaje con poco tiempo de anticipación. Llegamos antes de lo que esperábamos. Nos mostró el nombre en un cartel al llegar.
