  • The private vehicle and a professional chauffeur for your party only

  • Airport fee and PortMiami port fee where they apply
  • Express-lane toll where the route uses it
  • 10% fuel surcharge and 6% STC surcharge

Not included, and only charged if you choose or trigger them: child seats, Meet & Greet, and the late-night airport pickup fee.

How debarkation-day pickup works

  1. The night before: your cruise line gives you a disembarkation time or luggage-tag color/number. Text it to us — it tells us when to stage.
  2. On the morning: your vehicle is waiting at the ground transportation area for your terminal before your group is called. You have your chauffeur's mobile number.
  3. After customs: collect your bags in the terminal, walk out, and text the chauffeur. Large vehicles stage in the commercial area; your chauffeur walks to meet the group.
  4. On the way: 15–30 minutes to MIA via Port Boulevard and SR-836, drop-off at your airline's departures door.

Self-assist walk-off (carrying all your own bags off the ship) is usually the earliest way off. If you choose it, tell us — we stage earlier.

Which flight should I book home?

Your planEarliest flight we suggest
Domestic flight, self-assist walk-off11:00–11:30 AM
Domestic flight, standard luggage tags12:00 PM or later
International flight1:00 PM or later
Large group or anyone needing wheelchair assistance1:00 PM or later

Why: ships dock early but customs clears passengers in waves between roughly 7:00 and 10:00 AM, and MIA security lines on Saturday and Sunday mornings — peak cruise turnaround days — are long. More in our debarkation day guide.

Why not just get an Uber at the port?

On a big turnaround morning several ships empty at once and thousands of passengers try to leave Dodge Island together. Rideshare pickup zones get crowded, prices rise with demand, and you wait with all your luggage. A pre-booked vehicle is already there, sized for your bags, at a price you knew weeks ago.

Getting a group to the airport

Different flights? We can split a group across vehicles or run one larger vehicle and drop at multiple airline doors.

How much is a transfer from PortMiami to Miami Airport?

$166 for an executive sedan, $245 for a Chevy Suburban, $276 for an XXL Van (up to 10) and $1,404 for a 56-seat motor coach — the total per vehicle, gratuity and fees included.

For a domestic flight, 12:00 PM or later is comfortable; 11:00–11:30 AM is possible only with self-assist walk-off. For international flights, book 1:00 PM or later.

Where do I find my driver at the cruise terminal?

Your chauffeur texts you their location in your terminal's ground transportation area. Text back when you have cleared customs and collected your bags.

What if the ship is late or customs is slow?

We wait. Your chauffeur follows the ship's arrival and your text updates; there is no extra charge for ship or customs delays.

Can you take us to a hotel first and the airport later?

Yes. Book it as two transfers, or as an hourly charter if you want the vehicle to wait while you sightsee.
