A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Pinecrest rides in a reserved Black SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle, running south along US-1 into the leafy suburb of Pinecrest. Your driver meets your group curbside at the cruise terminal, loads the luggage, and drives door-to-door — no surge, no per-person math.
Each fare below is the total price for the whole vehicle, booked and locked ahead of your sailing.
The best way to reach Pinecrest is a private, door-to-door transfer booked before your cruise. Choose the Black SUV for groups up to five, or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to fourteen. After you disembark and clear the terminal, walk out to the curb where your driver is waiting, holding a name sign if you requested one on WhatsApp. He handles the bags, loads them into the vehicle, and drives your group straight to the Pinecrest address — no ticket line, no waiting for a vehicle to fill, no second stop along the way. Book at least 24 hours ahead so the vehicle and driver are confirmed; under-24-hour requests are still reviewed by hand, though availability is not promised. The day before travel, you receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate by text, so you know exactly who to look for as you step off the ship.
Your driver parks in the cruise-terminal pickup zone and meets your group as you exit with your bags. Request a name sign in advance on WhatsApp and he will hold it up so you spot him fast. He loads every bag, so you walk straight from the ship to a waiting private vehicle.
Message us on WhatsApp or the website with your ship, date, and group size, and we confirm the vehicle back to you. Book 24 hours or more ahead to lock the price and driver. The day before your trip, the driver’s name, vehicle, and plate arrive by text with pickup instructions.
Cruise passengers choose us because the price is fixed the moment you book — it never climbs for traffic, weather, or demand. A private vehicle is reserved for your group alone, so you never share the ride with strangers. Your bilingual driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, meets you at the terminal, and loads the cruise luggage himself. Because we track your ship’s arrival, a late docking simply re-times your pickup at no added cost, so nobody is left standing at the curb. A direct WhatsApp line means real answers from a real person, not an app queue. We have run private cruise-port transfers for more than five years, operating 24/7 and year-round, so an early sailing or a late-night return is handled the same careful way as a midday trip. One booking covers the whole group and the whole ride to Pinecrest.
Yes. The day before your trip we text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate along with pickup instructions. On cruise day the driver monitors your ship’s arrival, so if the docking runs late the pickup time shifts automatically, and you are not charged extra for the delay.
The drive to Pinecrest is a direct southbound run from the cruise terminal into Miami’s residential south end. The actual time depends on when you travel. Cruise-disembark mornings are the busiest window, especially when several ships empty at once and the streets around the port fill up; midday and evening trips generally flow more freely. Because your fare is fixed per vehicle, a longer drive in heavier traffic never changes what you pay. Your driver watches your ship’s arrival and adjusts the pickup so you are not waiting at the curb, and he picks the clearest route for the conditions that day. If you are traveling the other direction — leaving Pinecrest for an embarkation sailing — build in a comfortable cushion so you reach the terminal well before your boarding window closes.
Every vehicle we run is private and reserved for your group alone. Lead with the SUV for smaller parties and step up to a Sprinter van as your group grows.
Each passenger can bring one checked bag plus one carry-on, and there is room for cruise luggage in both the SUV and the vans. For extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size up to a larger van so nothing is left behind.
Pinecrest is a green, upscale residential village in south Miami-Dade, known for its wide tree-canopied lots, quiet streets, and family-friendly pace. It grew up around the former Parrot Jungle site, now Pinecrest Gardens, a lush botanical park with tropical plantings, a weekend farmers market, and open-air events. The neighborhood leans suburban and calm rather than beachy — shaded parks, well-regarded schools, and a mix of local restaurants and shops. Cruise travelers usually head here to visit family, stay near the southern suburbs, or settle in before or after a sailing. For an overview of what the area offers, see Pinecrest on the official Miami & Beaches guide.
Pinecrest itself is mostly residential, so many visitors stay in the wider south Miami and Kendall areas nearby, or closer to the water in neighborhoods like Coconut Grove and Brickell. Wherever you land, we drive door-to-door, so your lodging address is simply your pickup or drop-off point.
Pinecrest Gardens anchors the neighborhood with its botanical grounds and weekend markets. The main avenues through town offer casual and sit-down dining, shops, and green parks, while the broader south Miami area adds more attractions a short drive away. It is a leafy, low-key base rather than a nightlife district.
Your flat rate covers the private vehicle, the driver, and all the essentials of the ride. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are already included, so there are no add-ons for the road itself. Your bilingual driver meets the group curbside at the terminal, loads and unloads the cruise luggage, and drives straight to your Pinecrest address. Real-time ship monitoring is built in, so a late docking re-times your pickup at no cost. Courtesy waiting is included too: 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from the agreed time, and 15 minutes for a hotel pickup. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot for the whole group. The day before travel, the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate arrive by text with pickup details. Cancel with 24 or more hours notice for a full refund; within 24 hours of pickup the booking is non-refundable.
Food and drinks, driver gratuity, parking costs, and unscheduled stops sit outside the flat rate. A short nearby stop arranged in advance can usually be accommodated, though a small fee may apply. The first child seat is free for a child under five; each additional seat carries an extra fee confirmed at booking.
Yes. Every ride includes onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, so you can check messages, share your arrival, or keep the kids occupied on the way to Pinecrest. It is part of the flat rate at no extra charge for anyone in the group.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a proper pet carrier. Let us know when you book so the driver expects them and can plan the space alongside your luggage. A quick heads-up keeps the pickup smooth for everyone.
You can pay by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website. Card or link payments include a 4% bank fee; full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is simply double the one-way price for the same vehicle, booked in a single reservation. For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, the booking confirms with a 50% deposit, and the remaining 50% may be paid to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas, such as Broward or Palm Beach, require full payment in advance. We send clear payment details when you book, so you always know what is due and when, with no surprises at the curb.
Yes. Payments run through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, so your card details are handled by the payment provider rather than stored by us. Card or link payments carry a small bank processing fee, confirmed before you pay, and you receive a record of the transaction.
Pickups scheduled outside daytime hours — before 7 AM or after 9 PM — carry a small added charge on top of the flat fare.
Your driver tracks your ship’s arrival in real time, so a late docking is not a problem. The pickup simply re-times to match when you actually clear the terminal, at no extra cost. Courtesy waiting also covers 30 minutes at the terminal from the agreed pickup time, giving your group room to gather bags.
Yes. We monitor both ship and flight timing. If your transfer connects to a flight, the driver watches the schedule so your pickup fits the real arrival or departure, not just the time first written on the booking, and adjusts if the schedule moves.
Your driver meets your group curbside right outside the PortMiami cruise terminal as you exit with your bags. Ask for a name sign in advance on WhatsApp and he will hold it up so you spot him quickly in the crowd. He then loads the luggage and drives you straight to Pinecrest.
Yes. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare for the same vehicle, booked in one reservation. Same-day and under-24-hour requests are reviewed by hand, though availability is not guaranteed, so booking 24 hours or more ahead is the safest way to secure your exact pickup time.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under five, and any additional seats carry a small extra fee confirmed at booking. Tell us your children’s ages and how many seats you need on WhatsApp when you reserve, so the driver has them installed and ready before pickup.

El chofer conocía la ruta perfectamente. Repetiremos en el próximo crucero
Salimos del barco más tarde de lo previsto. Traían agua fría en el auto. Totalmente recomendado para salir del puerto. (llevábamos 4 maletas grandes)
O cruzeiro terminou numa segunda e estávamos com pressa. Simples, direto e sem estresse. Responderam as mensagens em poucos minutos. Foi a melhor parte do fim da viagem.
Fechamos o traslado para a família toda. Comunicação clara do início ao fim. Meus pais adoraram.
El vehículo era amplio y estaba muy limpio.
