A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Homestead is booked as a flat rate from $250 per vehicle, with a reserved Black SUV for up to 5 passengers or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for larger groups. Your bilingual driver meets you curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal and heads south toward Homestead along Florida’s Turnpike, door to door with room for every cruise bag.
Fares are flat and per vehicle, set the moment you book — pick the size that matches your group:
The simplest way south is one private vehicle booked ahead and matched to your group size. Choose the Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 riders. Send your ship name, disembark date, party size, and Homestead address by WhatsApp or through the website, ideally 24 or more hours in advance so your vehicle and driver are reserved. On the day, your driver waits curbside at the cruise terminal and helps you load, so there is no line to join and no ride to hail. From there it is a straight door-to-door run to your Homestead address — a downtown block, a farm out in the Redland, or a national-park gateway. Under-24-hour requests are still reviewed by hand, though availability cannot be promised, so booking early is the surest path from the ship to your destination.
One vehicle is reserved for your group alone — never pooled, never shared with strangers, and never split into a second car. The fare is flat and locked at the moment you book, so it does not move with demand or traffic. You arrange everything directly by WhatsApp with a real person, not through an app queue, and you get the same vehicle and the same plan you confirmed. Drivers help load and unload every bag at both ends, so nobody wrestles cruise luggage across a curb. The operation has run 24/7, year-round, for more than five years, and every trip is quoted the same way: the price you see is the price you pay. For cruise passengers on a tight disembark schedule, that predictability — a set car, a set driver, a set fare — is the whole point.
Match the vehicle to your headcount and luggage, and everything else falls into place. Every option below is private and yours alone for the trip:

The drive runs south from PortMiami along the Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike, the main artery toward South Miami-Dade. Actual travel time swings with the day and the hour rather than any fixed clock. Midday and early-afternoon departures tend to move well, since the southbound turnpike stays clear of the worst congestion. Busy disembark mornings run slower, especially when several ships empty at once and thousands of passengers pour off the terminals together; add the usual weekday rush around the city and the same route takes noticeably longer than it would off-peak. Your driver watches conditions and chooses the cleanest routing on the day, and because you have the vehicle to yourselves, there are no other pickups or drop-offs stretching the trip. The ride ends at your exact Homestead address, whether that is a downtown street or a spot out toward the Redland countryside.
Your driver meets your group curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal, right where passengers exit after clearing the building. Ask on WhatsApp and the driver will hold a name sign so you spot them instantly in the crowd. The day before your trip, we text you the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate, along with exact pickup instructions, so you know precisely who and what to look for. A 30-minute courtesy wait is built in at the cruise terminal from your agreed pickup time — plenty of cushion for the walk out with luggage — and hotel pickups include a 15-minute window. If your group needs longer than the courtesy window, extra waiting is billed in 30-minute blocks. Drivers help load every bag before you pull away, so the meet is quick even on a heavy multi-ship morning.
Homestead sits at the southern edge of Miami-Dade, a farming and small-city community that serves as the gateway to two national parks and the road south toward the Florida Keys. Downtown Homestead mixes historic Main Street storefronts with tropical fruit stands, the produce farms of the Redland, and family-run eateries. It is home to the Homestead-Miami Speedway and lies near the entrances of Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park. Cruise travelers often route here to reach the parks, the Keys, or the quiet agricultural countryside after a voyage. For city services, events, and visitor information, see the City of Homestead’s official website.
Lodging clusters around downtown Homestead and neighboring Florida City, close to the national-park gateways and the turnpike ramps pointing toward the Keys. Whichever area you settle on, we drive door to door to your address — a downtown block or a quieter spot out toward the Redland farmland — and pick you up there for the return.
Homestead anchors day trips to Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park, and the Florida Keys beyond. Closer in, visitors explore the Redland’s fruit farms, the Homestead-Miami Speedway, and the town’s historic Main Street. We drop you at your chosen address and, for return transfers, collect you from the same spot.
The fare covers the whole ride, not just the mileage. Built into your price are every toll, SunPass charge, and all fuel, so nothing is added mid-trip. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, and your driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese. The first child seat for a little one under 5 rides free; each additional child seat adds a small fee confirmed when you book. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, traveling in a pet carrier.
A few things sit outside the fare. Food and beverages are not included, and parking costs, when they apply, are separate. Driver gratuity is optional and always appreciated, never required. Unscheduled stops are not part of a standard transfer, though a short stop arranged in advance can usually be accommodated — a small fee may apply, and we confirm it before the trip.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent by WhatsApp or the website; card and payment-link charges carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is simply double the one-way price.
For the page’s main direction — a pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side — the booking confirms with a 50% deposit, and you hand the remaining 50% to your driver on trip day, where cash is perfectly fine. Reverse-direction pickups from farther north, in Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond, are paid in full ahead of time. Cancellations made 24 or more hours before pickup are fully refunded; within 24 hours of pickup, the booking is non-refundable. A confirmed pickup time can be moved with 24 or more hours notice, subject to availability, so tell us early if plans shift.
Your driver tracks your ship’s arrival and disembark timing in real time, so a late docking simply moves your pickup at no extra charge. There is nothing to re-book and no new car to arrange. The driver is already watching the terminal and is waiting curbside when you actually step off the ship.
Every passenger gets 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, and there is room for cruise luggage in both the SUV and the Sprinter vans. Bringing extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van so everything travels with you.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price shown above. Five friends sharing the SUV split a single fare, not five separate ones. A round trip is that same one-way price doubled, and nothing changes for demand or traffic.
Yes — disembarkation-day pickups are the core of what we do. Book at least 24 hours ahead so your driver and vehicle are reserved, and we track your ship so the curbside meet lines up with when you actually clear the terminal, even on a busy morning with several ships unloading at once.
A private shuttle to Homestead uses our Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans for groups of 6 to 14, priced per vehicle at the flat rate listed above — never per seat and never pooled with strangers. Smaller groups of up to 5 ride the Black SUV instead, and every trip is your group’s alone.
Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no surcharge. Trips scheduled outside that window add a small after-hours amount on top of the trip value:
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Éramos cuatro con todas las maletas del crucero. El trato fue amable y profesional. Nos sacaron un peso de encima.
Four of us with a full week of cruise luggage. The ride went exactly as promised. Already passed their number to our cruise friends.
Cruise ended on a Monday and we had a tight schedule. Simple, direct, zero stress. Waited patiently while we cleared the terminal. We’ll use them again next cruise. Trip took about 25 minutes.
Reservamos la noche anterior por WhatsApp. El conductor manejó con mucho cuidado todo el camino. Gracias por el buen servicio.
Put the whole thing together last minute. The ride went exactly as promised. Gave us solid tips about the area on the way.
