Book a private black-SUV or van transfer to or from Port of Miami and Iona at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle, with a bilingual driver who meets your group curbside at the cruise terminal. The northbound run follows the I-95 corridor, tolls and fuel already included, so families and their cruise luggage travel door-to-door with no surge fare.
Pricing is per vehicle, not per person, and locked the moment you book — your whole group rides for the one flat rate below.
The best way to reach Iona from the cruise terminal is a private vehicle matched to your group size, reserved before you sail. Choose the black SUV for up to five passengers, a Sprinter van for six to nine, or the larger van for ten to fourteen — everyone rides together in one vehicle held for your party. Your driver pulls up curbside as you clear the terminal, loads the cruise luggage, and drives door-to-door to the campus with no transfers and no waiting on other groups. To book, message us on WhatsApp or email with your ship, date, and passenger count, and we lock the vehicle and the fare.
Send your cruise date, ship name, passenger count, and drop-off address by WhatsApp or email at least 24 hours ahead. We confirm the vehicle and the flat fare, take the deposit, then text your driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate the day before your trip.
Our transfer is fully private, so the vehicle carries only your party — no shared ride, no detours for strangers, no pooled schedule. The bilingual driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, welcome help after a long sailing. Your flat rate is locked at booking and never climbs for traffic or demand, and you reach us directly over WhatsApp instead of an app queue. The driver handles your cruise luggage and drives straight to the campus, which suits families juggling kids, bags, and a tight post-cruise timeline. One booking, one named driver, one vehicle reserved just for you.
The drive from Port of Miami to Iona is a long-haul journey north, and we build the schedule around your ship rather than a fixed clock. A busy disembarkation morning, with several ships emptying at once, moves slower than a quieter departure, so we pad the plan accordingly. Because the route runs long, one short comfort stop for a restroom or snack can be arranged along the way. Your driver monitors the ship’s timing and adjusts the pickup, so you are never scrambling to meet a rigid slot.
Yes. When three or more ships dock together, the terminal roads and exit lanes clog, and the first stretch of the trip crawls. We factor that congestion into your pickup window and keep the group moving comfortably, so a slow start off the port never throws off the rest of the plan.
Iona sits on a leafy suburban campus in the New York City metro area, and our private transfer drops your group right at the gates. Students, visiting families, and cruise travelers arriving for move-in weekends or a game ride door-to-door to the heart of campus. You can plan your visit from the Iona University campus site or check fixtures on the Iona Gaels athletics page before you travel.
Stay in the surrounding New York metro-area neighborhoods that ring the campus, where quiet residential blocks sit beside easy commuter routes. We drop at any address you give, so pick a base that fits your visit and we set the pickup point there for the return leg back toward Miami.
The campus edges onto walkable college-town blocks with casual dining, cafes, and the university’s own athletics venues. It carries the easy pace of a suburban university town rather than a downtown grid, which makes drop-off and pickup straightforward for a driver arriving with luggage and a full group.
The flat rate covers the whole ride, not just the seat. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built in, so the number you book is the number you pay. Every vehicle carries onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, and the driver helps load and unload your cruise luggage at both ends. A name sign is provided at the terminal when you request one over WhatsApp in advance, and your driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate arrive by text the day before. Real-time ship and flight monitoring is part of the service, so a late arrival simply re-times your pickup.
Yes, small pets travel with advance notice on WhatsApp and must ride in a pet carrier. Tell us the pet and carrier size when you book so we assign the right vehicle and leave room for both your group and your cruise luggage.
The first child seat for a child under five is included at no charge. Each additional child seat carries a small extra fee confirmed when you book. Tell us your children’s ages and how many seats you need so the driver has them installed and ready before pickup.
The rate excludes food and drinks, driver gratuity, parking costs, and unscheduled stops. Gratuity is optional and always appreciated. On a long route like this one, a short stop arranged ahead of time can be added, though a small fee may apply. Everything else in your quote is already covered.
Match the vehicle to your headcount and luggage. Every option is private and reserved for your party alone, with room set aside for cruise bags.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM carry no surcharge. Trips scheduled outside that window add a small amount to cover the off-hours run, applied as follows:
Payment is cashless for most trips. We accept Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or through the website; card and link payments carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is billed as double the one-way rate, booked as a single reservation for both legs.
A pickup that begins at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side is confirmed with a 50% deposit, with the balance due to your driver on trip day, cash accepted. Reverse-direction pickups from farther areas such as Broward or Palm Beach are paid in full ahead of the trip.
Your driver tracks the ship’s arrival in real time, so a late dock costs you nothing extra — we simply re-time the pickup to when you actually clear the terminal. The same holds for a monitored return flight. There is no re-booking and no surge; the flat rate you locked stays exactly the same.
Your driver meets the group curbside right as you exit the cruise terminal, holding a name sign when you request one over WhatsApp beforehand. He helps load and unload your cruise luggage. Because the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate are texted the day before, you know exactly who to look for.
Yes. A round trip is simply double the one-way price shown above, reserved as one booking that covers both legs. The same private vehicle and bilingual driver handle your return toward Miami, and you lock the fare when you book. Send us your ship, dates, and return address and we confirm both pickups.
The rate includes one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and every vehicle leaves room for bulky cruise luggage. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van so nothing gets left behind.
Most trips carry no fee beyond the vehicle rate. A few add-ons can apply: waiting past the included courtesy window, an extra stop you request, or a second child seat. Gratuity stays optional. Each possible charge is spelled out at booking, so nothing is sprung on you on trip day.
