A private transfer to or from Port of Miami and Miami Beach runs 5.9 miles (9.6 km) in about 22 minutes over the MacArthur Causeway (I-395), a flat rate from $80 per vehicle in a black SUV. We meet arriving and departing cruise passengers curbside at the PortMiami terminal, load the luggage, and drive door to door to any Miami Beach address — no surge, one price set when you book.
Every fare below is per vehicle and covers your whole group, set the moment you reserve.
Book online or by WhatsApp, choose your vehicle, and your driver meets you curbside at the PortMiami terminal for a door-to-door ride to any Miami Beach address. Match the vehicle to your group — a black SUV for up to 5 cruise passengers, a private Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or a larger private van for 10 to 14. Send your ship name, terminal, and pickup time when you reserve. The driver helps load your cruise luggage, then heads straight toward South Beach or wherever on the island you are staying. There is no ticket line, no shared van filling up, and no waiting on other parties — the vehicle is reserved for your group alone and leaves when you are ready. Departing passengers get the same curbside service in reverse, timed to your check-in so you reach the terminal with room to spare.
You get a private vehicle reserved for your group, a bilingual driver, and a flat rate locked at booking with no surge. Your driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, texts you their name, vehicle, and plate the day before, and helps load and unload every bag. Payment and questions run straight through WhatsApp, so a real person answers before, during, and after the trip. The price you see is the price you pay — heavy demand, holidays, and traffic do not move it, which matters most on a busy disembarkation morning when app prices climb and terminal lines grow. We have coordinated PortMiami cruise transfers for over five years, every day of the year, staging each pickup around your ship.
The drive from Port of Miami to Miami Beach runs about 22 minutes for the 5.9-mile (9.6 km) trip. Because the two sit so close, the clock barely moves between off-peak and peak — you are looking at roughly 22 minutes through most of the day. The bigger variable on a cruise day is the terminal itself: when several ships disembark on the same morning, the exit lanes and nearby streets fill, which can add a few minutes before you are rolling. Once you clear the terminal, the ride to South Beach or a quieter northern stretch of Miami Beach is short and direct. Because the fare is fixed, those extra terminal minutes never change your price. Departing passengers should still allow a comfortable cushion before boarding, and we time the pickup to your check-in window so you are never rushing to the ship.
Miami Beach is a barrier-island city known for wide Atlantic sand, pastel Art Deco architecture, and an around-the-clock dining and nightlife scene. South Beach anchors the south end with Ocean Drive, the Art Deco Historic District, and the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall, while the mid- and north-beach neighborhoods trade crowds for calmer sand and family-friendly blocks. Cafés, oceanfront hotels, boutiques, and Española Way’s pedestrian lanes keep the streets busy day and night. Cruise passengers often want a first swim, a walk along the boardwalk, or a sit-down meal within an hour of stepping off the ship, and the short hop from PortMiami makes that easy. For an overview of the island’s neighborhoods and what each stretch is known for, see the official Miami Beach visitor guide.
Miami Beach spreads across distinct stretches. South Beach suits travelers who want walkable nightlife, restaurants, and the Art Deco streets; Mid-Beach offers a quieter oceanfront; and North Beach leans residential and family-paced. We drop door to door at any address across these areas, so pick the vibe you want and we handle the ride from the terminal.
Spend the day on the sand, stroll Ocean Drive’s Art Deco facades, browse the open-air shops and cafés on Lincoln Road, or grab dinner along Española Way. The beach and boardwalk are the main draw, with easy ocean access all along the island — a simple, close outing between ship days.
The flat fare already covers tolls, SunPass, and fuel, so the number you book is the number you pay. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, and drivers help load and unload your cruise luggage, with room for your cruise bags in the SUV or van. The fare does not include food or drinks, driver gratuity (optional and always appreciated), parking costs, or unscheduled stops, though one short stop arranged in advance can usually be accommodated. Everything essential to getting your group from the terminal to your Miami Beach address is built into the one price, with no line items added along the way and no toll or gas math to sort out at the end of the ride.
The first child seat is free for a child under 5. Each additional seat carries a small fee confirmed when you book. Tell us your children’s ages and how many seats you need on WhatsApp, and we fit them before pickup so your family is ready to roll off the ship.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier. Let us know the pet and carrier size when you reserve so the driver plans room alongside your cruise luggage in the SUV or van and everyone travels comfortably.
Every vehicle we run is private and reserved for your group alone — pick by headcount and luggage.
If you are close to a seat limit or carrying extra bags, message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we size up to the next van.
We take Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent by WhatsApp or on the website; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A pickup starting at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side confirms with a 50% deposit, and the remaining 50% can go to your driver on trip day, cash included. Pickups originating farther north — Broward, Palm Beach, and beyond — are paid in full in advance. This split keeps the Miami-side booking simple: a little now to lock the vehicle, the balance when the driver arrives.
A round trip is simply double the one-way fare for your vehicle — no separate return charge and no per-person math. Book both legs together and we hold the same vehicle class for your return, whether that is back to PortMiami or on to another Miami-area stop.
Cancel 24 or more hours before pickup for a full refund. Within 24 hours of your pickup time the booking is non-refundable, since the vehicle and driver are already committed to your ship. To reschedule instead, message us 24-plus hours ahead and we move your time when space allows.
Your driver tracks your ship’s posted arrival and disembark timing, so a late dock is not a problem. We re-time the pickup at no extra cost, and the driver is there when you actually step off — you never pay for a delay outside your control. Just sail in and we adjust.
Courtesy waiting is included free — 30 minutes at the cruise terminal from your agreed pickup time, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups. If you need longer, extra time is billed afterward in 30-minute blocks, so a slow line coming off the ship rarely costs anything at all.
Your driver waits curbside at the PortMiami cruise terminal where you exit, ready as you come out with your bags. Request a name sign on WhatsApp in advance and they will hold it up so you spot them fast. You also get the driver’s name, vehicle, and plate by text the day before.
Yes — disembarkation day is our core service. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead with your ship name and terminal, and a private vehicle is staged for your group’s exit time. We handle arrivals every day of the year, including busy multi-ship mornings, then drive you door to door to Miami Beach.
Plan on 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, with real room for cruise luggage in every SUV and van. Carrying extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the space or move you up to a larger van.
Book at least 24 hours ahead so we can lock your vehicle and driver, especially on peak cruise-turnaround days. Requests inside 24 hours are still reviewed by hand, but availability is not guaranteed. A booked pickup can shift with 24-plus hours’ notice when space allows.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the single price for that vehicle class, whether that is one traveler or a full van of fourteen. Splitting the fare across your party usually makes a private transfer the economical choice for families and larger groups.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM carry no surcharge. Trips outside those hours add a small amount so a driver is ready for an early ship or a red-eye departure.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Pickup was right outside the cruise terminal doors. Clear communication from start to finish. Gave us solid tips about the area on the way.
Cumplieron con el horario al minuto. El chofer hablaba español e inglés sin problema. Gracias por el buen servicio.
Treated us really well the whole time. They loaded the heavy bags before we could ask. Five stars, earned.
Después del crucero no queríamos complicarnos con taxis. Cumplieron con el horario al minuto. Traían agua fría en el auto.
Ficou meio justo com tanta bagagem, mas a chegada foi de boa.
