Miami International is the primary gateway for what's genuinely called the Cruise Capital of the World, and this transfer is built for exactly that pairing. Fourteen miles, about 30 minutes, and a terminal system - A through J - that trips up a lot of first-time cruisers navigating it on their own.
Royal Caribbean sails from Terminal A, Norwegian from B and C, Carnival from D, E, and F, MSC from AA and AAA, Virgin from V. We confirm your specific terminal before pickup, because pulling up to the wrong letter with a full luggage cart and an embarkation deadline is not how you want to start a vacation.
Embarkation mornings are about volume and timing more than distance - the terminal roads back up fast between 11am and 1pm. We plan your pickup around your cruise line's boarding window and the terminal-specific drop lane, not a generic hour-before rule of thumb.
How much is a private car from Miami International Airport (MIA) to PortMiami?
The flat rate is $129 one way in a black Chevrolet Suburban, for up to 6 passengers and 6 large bags. The drive is about 30 minutes over roughly 14 miles. The rate covers the whole vehicle, with tolls included. Gratuity is optional.
Pickup Procedure
Your chauffeur meets your flight at MIA's arrivals level, positioned at the door nearest your assigned baggage carousel. Free wait time is 60 minutes from actual landing - once your bags and cruise luggage are loaded, we route straight to your confirmed PortMiami terminal, A through J.
Curbside pickup with flight tracking is standard. Meet and greet at baggage claim with a name sign is an optional $199 add-on at checkout.

Frequently Asked
How do I know which PortMiami terminal I need?
It depends on your cruise line: Royal Caribbean uses Terminal A, Norwegian B/C, Carnival D/E/F, MSC AA/AAA, and Virgin V. Check your cruise documents and tell us at booking - we'll confirm the exact drop point.
How much luggage can you handle for a cruise transfer?
Up to six pieces along with six passengers in the Suburban - if your group is bringing more between everyone, mention it when booking and we'll plan accordingly.
What's the fare for this route?
The MIA to PortMiami fare is $129.
How early should I book pickup for an embarkation day?
We time it to your cruise line's recommended boarding window and factor in terminal traffic between roughly 11am and 1pm, when the port roads back up most - tell us your boarding time and we'll set the pickup accordingly.
How does payment work?
Payment reserves your date. Book more than 72 hours ahead and a 50% deposit reserves it now; 72 hours before pickup, the balance is charged automatically to the payment method you booked with. Book 72 hours or less ahead and checkout collects the whole fare. There's no card processing fee — that's built into the flat rate — and gratuity is optional.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel 24+ hours before pickup for a full refund. Inside that window, we retain 25% of the fare; no-shows retain 50% of the fare.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes. Infant, toddler and booster seats are $49 each for the first two and $99 each after that, charged once per booking. Round trips and multi-leg bookings add 50% per additional leg. Request them when you book so they are installed before pickup.
Can you meet us inside the airport?
Yes. Curbside pickup with flight tracking is standard. Meet and greet is an optional $199 add-on, chosen at checkout and charged once per booking. Your chauffeur meets you at baggage claim with a name sign, helps with bags, and walks you to the vehicle. It needs your flight number.
