A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Royal Palm Estates rides in a reserved Black SUV or private van at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver meets your group curb-side at the PortMiami cruise terminal, loads the luggage, and drives door-to-door along South Florida’s main highway route north — one fixed price, no surge, no shared seats.
Every fare below is the total price for the whole private vehicle, locked the moment you book — never a per-seat charge.
The best way is a private, door-to-door transfer in a vehicle matched to your group size. Choose the Black SUV for up to 5 cruise passengers, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or the larger Sprinter for 10 to 14. Once you step off the gangway and collect your bags, the ride is a single non-stop trip straight to your Royal Palm Estates address — no connections, no other passengers, and no waiting for a shared vehicle to fill up first. Booking is done over WhatsApp: send your ship name, disembark date, group size, and the exact drop-off address, and we reserve the right vehicle and confirm your pickup plan the same day. This is how you travel to or from Port of Miami and Royal Palm Estates on your own schedule, sized to your party rather than a fixed timetable.
Three private vehicle tiers cover every cruise group, and each one is reserved exclusively for your party — never pooled with other travelers.
Our transfer is built around what cruise passengers cannot control: timing and crowds. The fare is locked the moment you book, so a late ship, heavy demand, or a holiday weekend never changes what you pay — there is no surge and no per-person math. The whole vehicle stays reserved for your party alone, never shared with strangers, and your bilingual driver — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — helps load and unload every suitcase and cruise bag personally. Everything runs through one direct WhatsApp thread from the first message to the final drop-off, and your driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate arrive by text the day before pickup. It is a private ride shaped for people stepping off a ship with luggage and a schedule to keep.
Travel time to Royal Palm Estates is shaped by cruise-day traffic far more than by any single figure, so we plan the trip around your ship rather than a fixed clock. Disembarkation mornings are the slow stretch: when several ships empty at once, the roads leaving PortMiami back up and the run stretches longer. Midday and early-afternoon departures usually move more freely once the terminal rush clears. Because your driver watches your ship’s actual arrival and off-ship timing, the pickup is set to when you truly walk out — not an optimistic guess. Heading back toward the port, we build in a comfortable cushion so heavy northbound or downtown congestion never puts your all-aboard time at risk. Tell us your ship name and sailing date on WhatsApp and we recommend a sensible departure window for your group.
Royal Palm Estates is a quiet, established residential neighborhood of single-family homes and palm-lined streets — a calm, suburban landing after days at sea rather than a tourist strip. The pace is easy and the setting is green, which makes it a comfortable base for families visiting relatives, homeowners returning from a sailing, or anyone who wants a restful South Florida address away from the downtown bustle. You can get a feel for the area through the Royal Palm Estate community site or see the local housing mix on current Royal Palm Estates real-estate listings. Our part of the trip ends the moment we set you and your luggage down at your exact door.
Most visitors staying in the area book a short-term rental or a home in one of the surrounding residential pockets rather than a resort strip. If you want to be closer to nightlife or the water for part of your trip, the Brickell and downtown Miami areas and the South Beach district are the usual choices — we can drive you to or from any of them. We drop you at whatever address you give us.
The neighborhood itself is residential, so day-to-day life means nearby shopping plazas, casual local dining, parks, and everyday services rather than headline attractions. For a beach day, theme parks, or major sightseeing, those sit elsewhere across South and Central Florida, and we can arrange a separate private transfer there. Tell us the destination and we quote it.
Your flat rate covers the whole ride from curb to door, with the costs that usually surprise travelers already built in. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all included, so the number you book is the number you pay — no add-on for the toll roads north. Your driver personally loads and unloads every suitcase and carry-on. Courtesy waiting is included as well: 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from your agreed pickup time, or 15 minutes at a hotel pickup, after which any extra waiting is billed in fair 30-minute blocks. Below are the specifics travelers ask about most before they book.
Yes. Every trip includes onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, so your group can check in online, message family waiting at home, or keep the kids entertained on the way to Royal Palm Estates. It is part of the flat rate, at no extra charge.
The first child seat for a child under 5 is free. Each additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Tell us your children’s ages and how many seats you need on WhatsApp, and we fit them before pickup so your family is settled and secure.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp when they travel in a pet carrier. Mention your pet at booking so the right vehicle and driver are arranged for your group. Give us that heads-up early and it is easy to accommodate on the ride.
Yes. Cancel with 24 or more hours notice for a full refund; within 24 hours of pickup the booking is non-refundable. A booked pickup time can also be moved with 24-plus hours notice, subject to availability. Send any change to us on the same WhatsApp thread.
A few things sit outside the rate. Food and drinks, driver gratuity (optional and always appreciated), parking costs, and unscheduled stops are not included. A short nearby stop arranged in advance can sometimes be accommodated, though a small fee may apply. Anything not listed as included should be assumed extra, so message us first if you are unsure.
Payment is simple and handled before or on the day of travel. We accept Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or through the website; full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. Card and payment-link transactions add a 4% bank fee. A round trip is billed as double the one-way rate. For a pickup that starts at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, you confirm the booking with a 50% deposit and pay the remaining 50% to your driver on trip day — cash is fine for that half. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas such as Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond are paid in full in advance. Your driver’s details arrive by text the day before, so you always know exactly who is coming.
Pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no surcharge. Trips scheduled outside that daytime window add a small after-hours amount that depends on the vehicle.
Nothing changes on your end. Your driver tracks your ship’s actual arrival and disembark timing, so the pickup is re-timed automatically at no extra cost when you dock behind schedule. You do not re-book or pay a change fee — the flat rate you locked stays exactly the same, and the driver simply meets you when you truly step off.
Your driver meets your group curb-side right outside the PortMiami cruise terminal exit as you come out with your bags, holding a name sign if you request one on WhatsApp in advance. Courtesy waiting of 30 minutes from the agreed pickup time is included, so a little extra time clearing customs is never a problem.
Yes. Disembarkation-day pickups are exactly what this service is built for. Book at least 24 hours ahead so we can assign your vehicle and driver; an under-24-hour request is still reviewed manually, though availability is not guaranteed. Give us your ship name and disembark date on WhatsApp and we set a pickup window around your real off-ship time.
Each passenger is covered for 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, and the Black SUV and Sprinter vans have room for the luggage of a full sailing. 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. The driver loads and unloads everything.
The price is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the one flat rate shown in the fares section above, whether that is two cruise passengers or a family of ten in the Sprinter — the fare does not multiply by head count. A round trip is simply double the one-way total, and there is never a surge on the number you booked.
If you searched for a private shuttle, our private Sprinter vans are the answer — a van for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 passengers, reserved just for your group and never a shared or scheduled ride. The rate is the flat, per-vehicle price shown in the fares section above, locked at booking with no surge and no per-seat charge.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Send your ship name, sailing or disembark date, group size, and drop-off address over WhatsApp, and we confirm your vehicle, driver, and pickup window — usually the same day. Book at least 24 hours ahead for guaranteed availability, and travel from the terminal to your door in one reserved, private ride.
