A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Tamiami rides in a reserved black SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van along the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver meets your cruise group curbside at the PortMiami terminal, loads every bag, and drives door-to-door with no shared seats and no surge pricing.
Each price below is the full fare per private vehicle, covering your whole cruise group from the PortMiami terminal straight to your Tamiami address.
The smoothest way to reach Tamiami off the ship is a private vehicle booked for your group alone, so no one waits in a taxi line with cruise luggage. Pick the tier that matches your headcount: a black SUV handles up to five travelers, a Sprinter van takes six to nine, and a larger Sprinter carries ten to fourteen. To book, message us on WhatsApp with your ship name, disembark date, pickup time, and number of passengers; we confirm availability and reserve the vehicle for that window. On the day, the driver waits curbside as your group exits the terminal, loads the bags, and drives west across the city directly to your Tamiami door. There is generous room for suitcases, so families and larger parties travel together in one ride rather than splitting across cars. One booking covers the whole trip end to end.
One vehicle is reserved for your group and no one else shares the ride. The fare is a flat rate locked at booking, so demand, peak hours, and traffic never change the number you agreed to. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which helps arriving cruise passengers who are new to Miami. Booking is direct through WhatsApp, so you deal with a real person rather than an app queue, and you can send questions before and after the trip. For cruise travelers stepping off a long sailing with tight onward plans, that combination of a private car, a set price, and a named point of contact keeps the transfer simple. The service has run year-round for more than five years, moving families, couples, and larger parties across Miami-Dade every day of the week.
Yes. Every driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so you can confirm your pickup point, ask directions, or sort out a change without a language barrier. If you prefer one language over the other, note it on WhatsApp when you book and we match a driver accordingly.
Yes. Your driver helps load and unload suitcases at both ends, so you are not wrestling heavy cruise bags on your own after a long sailing. The SUV and vans have real room for suitcases, and larger parties keep all their luggage in the same vehicle rather than splitting it across separate cars.
The drive from Port of Miami to Tamiami runs west across the city, and how long it feels depends entirely on the hour you leave. Mid-day and early afternoons tend to move freely, so a transfer booked between the morning and evening rushes is usually the quickest window. Weekday rush periods slow things down, and disembarkation mornings are the busiest of all, since thousands of passengers pour out of the terminals at once and roads near PortMiami fill up. Because we run a set flat fare, a heavier-traffic day never costs you more than a light one; the time on the road is the only thing that shifts. We plan pickup times around your ship’s schedule so your group is not sitting in the worst of the terminal crush. For an exact estimate on your date, message us with your disembark time and we will talk through what to expect.
Generally yes. A pickup scheduled away from the weekday morning and evening peaks, and away from the heaviest disembark waves, moves through the city faster than one caught in rush-hour or multi-ship congestion. The fare stays identical either way, so the only difference is time on the road, not cost.
Tamiami is a spread-out residential district in west Miami-Dade with a family, suburban character rather than a beachfront or downtown feel. The area is anchored by large green space and the university campus nearby, with shopping plazas, restaurants, and everyday services lining the main corridors. It is a practical base for visitors with business at the university, families visiting relatives, or travelers who want a quieter stay away from the tourist core while still being connected to the rest of the metro. You can read more about the wider city on the City of Miami site, and about the district’s flagship green space at Tamiami Park. Whatever your reason for heading this way off the ship, we drop you at the exact address you give us.
Tamiami Park is the district’s main recreation hub, with sports fields and open space, and it hosts the county’s big annual youth fair. The surrounding streets hold the nearby university campus, community facilities, and neighborhood shopping and dining. It is a local, everyday part of Miami rather than a tourist strip.
Visitors usually look at accommodations across the western Miami-Dade neighborhoods near the university and the main road corridors, where lodging tends to be quieter and more residential. If you would rather be closer to nightlife or the water, areas like Brickell or the beaches sit on the other side of the city. Tell us your address and we drive there directly.
The flat rate is genuinely all-in for the drive itself. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are already built into the price, so nothing is added on for the roads you use. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, handy for re-connecting after a week at sea. The first child seat for a child under five is included free; each additional child seat carries a small extra fee confirmed when you book. What the rate does not cover is listed below so there are no surprises. Everything you actually pay is stated here on the page and in your booking confirmation.
Food and drinks, driver gratuity, and any parking costs are not included, and gratuity is optional though always appreciated. Unscheduled stops are not part of the base fare, but a short nearby stop arranged in advance can usually be accommodated for a small added charge. Everything else for the point-to-point drive is covered.
Yes. The first child seat for a child under five comes free with your booking. If your family needs more than one, each additional seat carries a small fee we confirm at the time you reserve. Just tell us the number and ages of the children on WhatsApp so the right seats are fitted before pickup.
Yes, small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, traveling in a pet carrier for the ride. Let us know when you book so we assign a suitable vehicle and driver. Please plan on the carrier for the whole trip, which keeps both your pet and the vehicle comfortable.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee. Full cash up front at pickup is not accepted. For a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% can go to your driver on the day, cash welcome for that balance. Reverse-direction pickups coming from farther areas such as Broward or Palm Beach require full payment in advance. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare.
The price is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the single flat fare shown in the price list above, whether that is a couple in the SUV or a party of fourteen in the larger van. Adding passengers up to the vehicle’s capacity does not raise the fare.
A private shuttle for larger groups uses our Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, priced per vehicle in the list above for six-to-nine or ten-to-fourteen passengers. It is a private van reserved for your group alone, never a shared or pooled ride, so the flat fare covers everyone traveling together on the one booking.
Three private tiers cover cruise parties of every size, and every one is reserved solely for your group.
Each passenger’s fare covers one checked bag plus one carry-on, with real room set aside for cruise luggage. If your group has 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 no one is left rearranging suitcases at the curb.
A late-docking ship does not cost you the ride. We monitor your ship’s arrival and disembarkation timing in real time, and if the vessel docks later than scheduled, we re-time the pickup at no extra charge. Cruise days shift constantly with customs and gangway delays, so this tracking is built into how the transfer works rather than treated as an add-on. Give us your ship name and scheduled arrival when you book, and the driver adjusts to when you actually clear the terminal.
Yes. Your driver watches the ship’s real-time arrival and disembark status, so the pickup lines up with when you genuinely step off, not just the printed schedule. Share your ship and sailing details at booking and the driver keeps an eye on your terminal as your date approaches.
Your booking includes 30 minutes of courtesy waiting at the cruise terminal from the agreed pickup time, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups. If disembarkation runs long past the courtesy window, additional waiting is billed in 30-minute blocks. Because we track your ship, we usually re-set the pickup before that ever becomes an issue.
Your driver waits curbside right outside the terminal building and greets your group as you exit with your luggage. Ask on WhatsApp in advance and the driver holds a sign with your name. The day before, we text the driver’s name, vehicle, and plate so you know exactly who to look for.
Yes, disembarkation-day pickups are the core of what we do. Book at least 24 hours ahead with your ship and arrival time, and the driver is scheduled around when you clear the terminal that morning. Because we track the ship, an early or late gangway simply moves your pickup, not your price.
Reserving ahead locks in both your flat fare and a vehicle sized for your group, which is exactly what a crowded disembark morning does not guarantee at the curb. Booking at least 24 hours in advance lets us confirm availability, match the right SUV or van to your headcount, arrange any child seats or pet carrier, and send you the driver’s details before the trip. A request under 24 hours is still reviewed by hand, but availability is not guaranteed at short notice. Pre-booking also means the price is settled and written into your confirmation, so there is no negotiating or fare uncertainty while you stand with your luggage. For cruise passengers with onward flights or check-ins to make, that certainty is the whole point of arranging the ride before you sail.
Your booking is confirmed over WhatsApp or email as soon as it is arranged, with the price, pickup point, and time all in writing. The day before the trip, we text your driver’s name, the vehicle make, the license plate, and clear pickup instructions, so you can identify the car with confidence when you exit the terminal. To confirm, modify, or cancel, message the same WhatsApp thread; a booked pickup time can be moved with 24 or more hours notice, subject to availability. Everything you need is on this page and repeated in your confirmation.
Cancel with 24 or more hours notice before pickup for a full refund. Within 24 hours of the scheduled pickup, the booking is non-refundable. Changes to your pickup time also need 24 or more hours notice and depend on availability, so message us as early as you can if your cruise plans shift.
Daytime hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. Pickups scheduled outside that window carry a small after-hours charge, added per trip as shown below.

Nos deixaram na porta, sem desvios.
Éramos cuatro con tedas las maletas del crucero. El chofer conocía la ruta perfectamente. Contestaron los mensajes en minutos.
