A private cruise-port transfer to or from Port of Miami and Margate rides in a reserved black SUV or Sprinter van at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle, running north along I-95 with your fare locked at booking. One bilingual driver meets your group curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, loads the luggage, and drives door to door to Margate.
The price is per vehicle, not per person, so your whole cruise party rides for the one flat figure below.
The simplest way is a private door-to-door transfer booked ahead, with a vehicle sized to your cruise group. Choose the black SUV for up to 5 travelers, a private Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or the larger van for 10 to 14. After you clear the gangway and collect your bags, the driver is already waiting curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, name sign in hand if you asked for one on WhatsApp. There is real room for cruise luggage, so nobody balances suitcases on their lap. From the terminal the driver heads out toward Margate and drops you right at your street address in Broward County. No taxi queue, no ride-hailing app, no second leg to sort out on arrival day.
Send your sailing date, ship name, passenger count, and Margate address by WhatsApp, email, or the website. We confirm the vehicle and lock the fare, then text the driver’s name, vehicle, and plate the day before. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead; last-minute requests are reviewed manually, though availability is not guaranteed.
The vehicle is reserved for your group alone — never shared, never pooled, never a second stop for strangers. Your fare is locked the moment you book, so heavy disembarkation demand or peak traffic will not push the number up. A bilingual driver handles the whole trip, loads and unloads your cruise bags, and stays reachable directly by WhatsApp before pickup rather than through an anonymous app queue. For families juggling kids, connections, and a stack of suitcases after a week at sea, one confirmed car with a known driver takes the guesswork out of arrival day. You book once, you know exactly who is meeting you, and you know the price before you step off the ship.
Yes. Every driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which makes coordinating pickup, luggage, and any last-minute schedule change straightforward for international cruise passengers arriving at PortMiami.
The drive heads north out of PortMiami toward Margate in Broward County, and the time on the road depends mostly on when your ship clears. Off-peak, midday or mid-evening, the run is smooth and direct. During morning rush and again in the late afternoon, northbound traffic thickens and the same trip stretches longer. Disembarkation mornings are the real variable: when several ships empty at once, the terminal roads and the highway leading out both back up before you even reach open road. Your driver plans around that by watching your ship’s actual off-ship time, so the car is positioned when you are genuinely ready rather than idling on a guess. Because the fare is fixed, a slower peak-hour crawl never changes what you pay.
It can. When three or more ships dock together, terminal exits and the northbound highway fill quickly, adding time to the early part of the drive. Booking a private car ahead means your driver already knows your ship’s schedule and times the pickup around that congestion.
Margate is a relaxed residential city in northwest Broward County, part of the wider Fort Lauderdale metro area. It trades the high-rise bustle of the coast for quiet neighborhood streets, community parks, sports fields, and everyday shopping and dining along its main corridors. The feel is suburban and family-oriented, a comfortable base for visitors who want a calmer landing after a busy cruise. You can learn more about the city, its parks, and local services on the City of Margate official website. Whether you are heading home to a Margate address or arriving to visit family before a sailing, the private transfer drops you right at the door.
Visitors typically look at lodging around central Margate and the neighboring communities of northwest Broward, within the greater Fort Lauderdale area. Wherever you settle, the private transfer runs door to door, so you are dropped straight at your address instead of a distant terminal.
Margate is calm and largely residential, with local parks, community facilities, and neighborhood shopping rather than tourist crowds. It suits cruise travelers who prefer a quiet, easygoing base and simple door-to-door pickup on both the arrival and the departure legs of their trip.
The quoted fare is genuinely all-in for the ride itself, with the everyday road costs already folded in. Here is what comes with every private transfer between the terminal and Margate:
Food and drinks, driver gratuity, and any parking costs sit outside the fare. Gratuity is optional and always appreciated. Unscheduled stops are not included, though a short stop arranged in advance can usually be accommodated; a small fee may apply and is confirmed with you first.
Yes to both, with a heads-up. The first child seat is free for a child under 5; each additional seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Small pets ride along too when you tell us in advance on WhatsApp and bring a proper pet carrier.
Pick the private tier that matches your party and your luggage, and the whole vehicle is yours alone. Every option is reserved for your group only — no sharing, no pooling.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent by WhatsApp or the website; card and link payments carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare, booked as a single reservation for both legs. For pickups starting at PortMiami on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% may be paid to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Because Margate sits in Broward, reverse-direction pickups from there require full payment in advance. Once you pay, the fare is locked and does not move.
For a pickup at PortMiami, a 50% deposit secures the vehicle and the balance goes to the driver on the day, cash fine. A pickup starting in Margate or elsewhere in Broward is paid in full ahead of the trip instead.
A round trip is priced as exactly double the one-way, with no discount and no penalty — the convenience is booking both legs at once, so the same driver and vehicle are locked in for your arrival and your return to the ship.
Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no surcharge. A small extra applies only to trips that fall outside those hours, and the amount depends on the vehicle.
Your pickup is re-timed at no extra cost. The driver tracks your ship’s actual arrival and disembark time from terminal updates, so a late berth or a slow clearance simply shifts the pickup — the car is there when you truly step out. The flat fare does not change because of the delay.
The driver meets you curbside, right outside your PortMiami cruise terminal exit, once you have your bags. Ask on WhatsApp in advance and they hold a name sign so you spot them quickly. They help load the luggage and you head straight to Margate — no walking off to find a rideshare lot.
Yes. Disembarkation-day pickups are the core of this service. Reserve at least 24 hours before you sail into port and the driver plans around your ship’s off-ship time, watching for early or late clearance. When several ships empty together, that tracking keeps your pickup timed to when you actually reach the curb.
Each passenger is covered for 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, and the vehicles have real room for cruise luggage. Have extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van so everything and everyone rides together.
Per vehicle, always. Your whole group rides for the one flat price shown above, whether it is two people or a full van of fourteen. There is no per-head charge, so splitting the fare across the party makes a private car straightforward for families and larger cruise groups.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
