Private transportation to or from Port of Miami and Buckingham runs as a door-to-door ride in a private Black SUV or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver meets the group curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, loads the luggage, and drives straight to your Buckingham address — one fixed fare, no surge, room for every cruise bag.
Each fare below is the flat, per-vehicle price for the whole group — pick the vehicle that fits your party and cruise luggage.
The best way to reach Buckingham from your ship is a private door-to-door transfer you arrange before you sail. Start on WhatsApp: send your ship name, disembark date, party size, and Buckingham address, and pick the vehicle that fits — the Black SUV for up to five, or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for larger groups. On disembark morning the driver meets your party curbside at the cruise terminal, loads the luggage, and drives straight to your address with no shared stops. The same setup works in reverse for boarding day, getting you and your bags to the terminal in time to check in. Because everything — vehicle, pickup point, fare — is settled in advance, there is no scrambling for a ride amid the disembark crowd. One message locks the whole plan for a trip to or from Port of Miami and Buckingham.
Pickup covers every PortMiami cruise terminal — whichever berth your ship uses, the driver comes to that terminal’s curbside. PortMiami is one of the busiest cruise homeports anywhere, so tell us your ship and disembark time on WhatsApp and the driver is positioned at the right terminal as you step off.
Booking a private transfer means the whole vehicle is reserved for your group alone — no strangers, no extra stops, no waiting for a pool to fill. The rate is locked when you reserve, so a busy disembark morning or heavy demand never pushes the price up. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which makes coordinating pickup easy the moment you step off the ship. There is direct WhatsApp contact from the first message to the final drop-off, so you are texting a real person, not a queue. The driver handles cruise luggage at both ends, loading and unloading so families and tight schedules are covered. For arriving and departing cruise passengers, that combination — one private vehicle, one fixed fare, one point of contact — turns a stressful disembark morning into a straightforward door-to-door ride.
Yes. Every driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so you can confirm the pickup spot, luggage, and address in your own language right as you leave the ship. It smooths the first few minutes of disembark morning, when a crowded terminal makes clear communication matter most.
Ride time to Buckingham depends on when you leave the terminal and how many ships share your disembark morning. Early and mid-day off-peak windows move fastest, while the post-breakfast rush — when several cruise ships empty at once — puts more cars on the road and stretches the trip. Your driver watches live traffic and picks the smoothest route, so you spend less time idling and more time heading to your Buckingham address. Because pickup is timed to your ship’s actual disembark, you are not left standing curbside with luggage before the car arrives. If you have a same-day flight or appointment after the drop-off, share the pickup time on WhatsApp so the driver builds in a comfortable buffer around the expected disembark window and keeps your schedule intact.
Buckingham is your drop-off destination, and the driver takes you straight to the door — a home, a business, or wherever your reservation sits. The name carries a stately ring, echoing the royal landmark that made it famous; if that heritage is part of the appeal, you can plan a visit to Buckingham Palace or read more on the official Royal Family website. After a week at sea, most cruise travelers want the everyday mix close at hand — places to eat, local shops, and quiet streets to find your footing on solid ground again. Whether you are heading in to start a stay or out to catch your ship, the private car keeps you and your luggage together the whole way, with no transfers to juggle.
For an overnight, choose an area that fits your budget and plans rather than a single fixed spot — the wider Miami region has districts to suit families, couples, and business travelers alike. Wherever you settle, the driver drops you at any address you give, so pick the neighborhood first and share it when you book.
Around your destination you’ll find the relaxed, local flavor cruise passengers look for after disembarking — casual dining, everyday shops, and open space to walk off the sea legs. It suits a low-key first day on land or a calm evening before boarding, without the rush of a packed itinerary.
If shopping tops your list, greater Miami is known for its retail districts, from designer-focused areas to large malls and boutique-lined streets. Rather than sending you to one address, we can drop you at whichever shopping area you choose, then collect you and your bags — just add the stop to your booking on WhatsApp.
The flat rate you lock at booking already folds in the costs that usually pile up on a transfer. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all covered, so there is nothing extra to settle for the roads you take. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, letting your group get online, share the trip, or start planning the day while you ride. The driver loads and unloads cruise luggage at both ends, so families and anyone on a tight post-cruise schedule don’t wrestle bags alone. What you see in the price list is the whole vehicle for your party, with no per-person add-on and no demand-based change once the reservation is set. A few extras sit outside the rate, which the next questions spell out so there are no surprises when the car pulls up on cruise morning.
Driver gratuity is optional and always appreciated but not built into the rate. Food and drinks, parking fees, and unscheduled stops also sit outside the price. A short nearby stop arranged in advance can be added — message us first — though a small fee may apply depending on the request.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier for the ride. Let us know when you book so the right vehicle is assigned and there is room for the carrier alongside your cruise luggage and the rest of your party.
The first child seat is free for a child under 5 — just request it when you book. Each additional child seat carries a small added fee confirmed at booking, so tell us how many little ones are riding and their ages, and we fit the SUV or van accordingly.
Payment happens before the trip through a few easy channels, and it is never collected entirely in cash at the curb. Send the fare by Venmo or Zelle, or use a secure payment link over WhatsApp or our website; card and link payments carry a 4% bank fee. For a pickup that starts at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side — the main direction of this route — you confirm with a 50% deposit up front and settle the balance on trip day. Reverse-direction pickups from farther out, in Broward, Palm Beach and beyond, are paid in full before the driver rolls, since those runs start away from our home base. Once your payment clears, the driver’s name, vehicle make and license plate are texted the day before, along with exact pickup instructions so there are no surprises on cruise morning.
For a Miami-side pickup, the remaining 50% balance can be handed to the driver in cash on trip day. What we don’t accept is the full fare in cash at the curb — the deposit and any card or link payment clear ahead of time through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link.
A round trip is billed as double the one-way rate and booked as a single reservation, so your return from Buckingham to the port is locked the moment you reserve. You are not rebooking a second car when your ship comes back — the same private vehicle and fixed fare are already set for both legs.
Three private vehicle tiers cover every cruise party size, and each one is reserved for your group alone — never shared with other passengers. Lead with the Black SUV for couples and small families, then step up to a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van as the group and the cruise luggage grow. Tell us your headcount and how many bags you’re bringing on WhatsApp, and we assign the tier with room to spare so no one is squeezed and no bag rides on a lap.
These are the questions arriving and departing cruise passengers ask most about the Buckingham run, each answered straight so you can book with a clear picture of pickup, luggage, timing, and cost.
Your driver tracks the ship’s live arrival and disembark timing, then re-times the pickup at no extra cost when you dock late — there’s no change fee for a slow port morning. Courtesy waiting covers 30 minutes at the terminal from the agreed pickup time, and the flat fare stays exactly as booked.
The driver waits curbside right at your cruise terminal’s exit and greets your group as you come out, holding a name sign when you request one on WhatsApp ahead of time. From there they take the luggage and lead you to the vehicle, so there’s no hunting through a crowded pickup lane.
Yes — disembark-day pickups are the heart of this service. Book at least 24 hours ahead, share your ship and terminal, and the driver monitors your arrival so the car is ready as you clear the gangway. Same-day requests under 24 hours are reviewed by hand, though availability isn’t guaranteed.
Each passenger’s fare includes one checked bag plus one carry-on, and every vehicle leaves room for cruise luggage. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van, so nothing gets left on the curb.
Every rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole party rides for the single flat price shown in the fare list above, whether it’s two of you or a full van. There’s no per-head charge and no demand surcharge; the number you book is the number you pay.
A private shuttle here means one of our private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, priced per vehicle at the flat rate listed in the fare table above — never a shared or per-seat service. Pick the 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 van for your group, and the whole party rides together for that one fixed fare.
Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 6 PM carry no surcharge. Trips that start outside that window add a small off-hours amount by vehicle:
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Locking your transfer takes one message. Send your ship name, disembark or boarding date, pickup time, party size, and Buckingham address over WhatsApp or email, and we confirm the vehicle and driver for your group. Book at least 24 hours ahead for a guaranteed car; shorter-notice requests are reviewed by hand as availability allows. Plans can shift — move a booked pickup time with 24 or more hours’ notice, subject to availability, and cancellations made 24-plus hours out are fully refunded. Reserve early for busy cruise weekends, and your driver’s name, vehicle, and plate arrive by text the day before, so you step off the ship knowing exactly who’s waiting.
