Our private black-car service runs to or from Port of Miami and Kenwood Estates at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle, in a black SUV for up to 5 passengers or a private Sprinter van for larger cruise parties. One bilingual driver meets your group curb-side at the terminal, loads the luggage, and drives door-to-door — no surge pricing and no shared ride.
The private transfer is priced per vehicle, not per person, so your whole cruise party rides for one flat total set at booking:
The rate is per vehicle, not per person. Whether one traveler rides or a family of five fills the SUV, the flat total stays the same. Choose the vehicle that fits your headcount and cruise luggage, and every seat in it is covered by that single price.
The simplest way is a pre-booked private car that waits at the terminal, so you skip the taxi line the moment you step off the ship. Start by picking the vehicle that matches your group: the black SUV handles up to five travelers with cruise bags, while the private Sprinter van covers larger parties of six to fourteen. Reserve on WhatsApp at least 24 hours ahead and share your ship name and disembark day. The night before, we text the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate along with clear pickup instructions. On disembarkation morning the driver is already positioned curb-side at the cruise terminal, helps load and unload the luggage, and drives straight to your Kenwood Estates address with no detours or extra passengers. It is a single door-to-door ride, planned around your ship rather than around a shared schedule.
The drive is a straightforward highway-and-surface-street run, and its length depends mostly on the time of day and cruise-day congestion rather than any fixed figure. Off-peak, with light traffic, the trip moves smoothly. During peak windows — especially when several ships disembark on the same morning and thousands of travelers leave the port at once — the roads around the terminal get busy and the ride stretches longer. Weather and weekend volume can add to that as well. Because we cannot promise an exact minute count for your specific sailing, we schedule the pickup around your real disembarkation time and build in sensible buffer, so a slow start at the terminal does not cascade into a rushed drive. Your driver knows the route and the port’s exit patterns, and picks the most sensible path for the conditions on the day you travel.
The service is built for cruise travelers who want one reserved vehicle and zero surprises. The fare is a flat rate locked in when you book — it does not move for demand, weather, or the hour you land. Your SUV or private van is held for your group alone, so you never share the cabin with strangers or wait for a pooled pickup. Booking and coordination happen directly over WhatsApp with a real person, and your bilingual driver handles the cruise luggage at both ends. Everything is arranged in advance, which matters most on a tight disembarkation morning when you would rather not stand in a rideshare queue with your bags.
No. Every booking is fully private. The vehicle you reserve carries only your group — no pooled seats, no extra stops to collect other riders, no scheduled route. You board, the driver confirms your name, and you go straight to Kenwood Estates. That is the whole point of a private transfer versus a shared or on-demand option.
Kenwood Estates is a quiet, low-key residential neighborhood rather than a tourist strip, made up largely of single-family homes on calm streets. The feel is suburban and settled, with everyday conveniences — local shops, casual dining, and neighborhood parks — within the surrounding area rather than a busy commercial center. Cruise travelers usually head here to reach a home, a family member, or a longer stay after their sailing, so the appeal is comfort and calm rather than nightlife. For a fuller picture of the area’s streets and residential character, see this Kenwood Estates neighborhood guide. Whatever the exact address, the driver takes you door-to-door.
The surrounding residential areas offer the usual mix of everyday lodging options. Many cruise travelers, though, prefer to stay closer to the Miami side — near downtown or the Brickell area — the night before an early terminal check-in, then use this same private transfer for the return leg. We can pick up from either end of the route.
The neighborhood leans family-friendly and residential, with neighborhood parks, local groceries, and casual eateries dotted through the surrounding streets. It is the sort of place where day-to-day errands and quiet time matter more than attractions. Because it is a settled community rather than a resort zone, expect calm streets and everyday amenities close at hand.
The flat rate covers the full ride plus the extras that usually add up elsewhere. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all built into the price, so there is nothing to settle on the road. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot for the trip. The first child seat is free for a child under 5, and any additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed when you book. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp when carried in a proper pet carrier. Your bilingual driver loads and unloads the cruise luggage at both ends. Everything you need for a straightforward door-to-door transfer sits inside the one fare.
The fare excludes food and beverages, driver gratuity (optional and always appreciated), any parking costs, and unscheduled stops. A short stop arranged in advance can sometimes be accommodated, and a small fee may apply. Card or payment-link payments also carry a small bank-processing fee. Nothing else is added behind the scenes.
The first child seat is provided free for a child under 5. If your family needs more than one, each additional seat carries a modest fee that we confirm at booking. Tell us the number and ages of children when you reserve on WhatsApp, and the correct seats will be installed and ready before pickup.
Small pets are welcome as long as you let us know in advance over WhatsApp and the pet travels in a proper carrier. Sharing this detail when you book lets the driver plan cabin space around your group, your luggage, and the carrier so everyone rides comfortably to Kenwood Estates.
The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, with room set aside for cruise luggage. If you have extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van. There is plenty of room for a typical cruise haul.
Payment is handled through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent over WhatsApp or the website; card and link payments carry a small bank-processing fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted, though cash is fine for the balance handed to the driver on trip day. A round trip is simply double the one-way price and booked as a single reservation. For a pickup that starts at PortMiami or elsewhere on the Miami side, the trip confirms with a 50% deposit, and the remaining 50% can go to the driver on the day of travel. Reserve your slot early so the vehicle and driver are held for your sailing.
For a pickup beginning at PortMiami or on the Miami side, a 50% deposit locks the booking, and you settle the other 50% with the driver on trip day — cash is accepted for that balance. This keeps the reservation firm while leaving the final half until you actually ride.
A round trip is priced as exactly double the one-way rate, booked together as one reservation. It is not a discount so much as a convenience — both legs are locked, the same team handles your return, and you avoid arranging a separate pickup for the trip back to the port.
Match the vehicle to your headcount and cruise bags. Each tier is fully private and reserved for your party alone:
If you are unsure which size fits your bags, message us on WhatsApp with your headcount and luggage count and we will point you to the right tier before you confirm.
Trips that fall outside our daytime window of 7 AM to 9 PM carry a modest after-hours surcharge, applied per trip:
Your pickup is re-timed at no extra cost when the ship docks late. The driver tracks your vessel’s arrival and disembarkation timing, so a delayed berth or a slow gangway does not leave you stranded or force a rebooking. The flat fare stays the same, and the driver simply adjusts to your real off-time and meets you when you actually clear the terminal.
Your driver meets your group curb-side right at the cruise terminal as you exit, and can hold a name sign if you request one over WhatsApp beforehand. You get 30 minutes of courtesy waiting at the terminal from the agreed pickup time — plenty for the walk out with bags — and 15 minutes on hotel pickups. The driver helps load the luggage, so you head straight to the vehicle once you spot your name.
Yes — disembarkation day is exactly what this service is built around. Book at least 24 hours ahead with your ship name and sailing date, and the driver is positioned at the terminal for your morning off. When multiple ships empty at once the area gets crowded, so the advance reservation and ship tracking keep your pickup steady while others scramble for a ride.
A few booking details keep your transfer smooth. We are available around the clock, year-round, and coordinate everything by WhatsApp so you always reach a real person before and on the day of your trip.
Book at least 24 hours in advance so the vehicle and driver are guaranteed for your sailing. A request inside 24 hours is still reviewed manually, but availability is not guaranteed. Once booked, your pickup time can be moved with 24+ hours notice, subject to availability, and your driver’s details arrive by text the night before.
Cancel 24 or more hours before pickup and you receive a full refund. Within 24 hours of the scheduled pickup the booking is non-refundable, since the vehicle and driver are already committed to your sailing. Rescheduling with more than 24 hours notice is fine and subject to availability.
Our private van fills the “shuttle” role, but it is never shared — the whole vehicle is yours. It is priced per vehicle at the flat van rate shown in the pricing section above, not per seat, so your full group rides for that one total. Message us with your headcount to confirm the right van size.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, cruise-terminal pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
