From $590 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Emerald Island Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, a name-sign pickup adds $20, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Emerald Island Resort is a vacation-rental community set in the Davenport and Clermont area, on the western side of I-4’s Disney exits. Your ride ends right at the property entrance, at 2751 Emerald Island Blvd, so there is no final leg to sort out once your bags are down. This is the resort corridor where ChampionsGate and Reunion have filled in with golf resorts and rental villas, a pocket where the theme parks sit only minutes away while the heaviest crowds stay behind you.
What you find on arrival is a quieter base than the strips closer to the parks. The neighborhood leans toward villas and resort rentals rather than high-rise hotels, which is part of why families and larger groups gravitate here for a week near Orlando’s attractions. Anything about the stay itself, the rooms, and the on-site details lives with the resort’s own front desk; our part is simply getting your group and your luggage to that entrance in one clean run.
The area rewards travelers who linger after a cruise. Reunion Resort sits close by, and the Clermont chain of lakes gives you open water within easy reach. Lake Louisa State Park offers trails and quiet shoreline, while Posner Park covers the shopping-and-dining side when you want it. Because the resort sits west of the busiest Disney exits, you get the convenience of being near the parks without living inside the constant flow of park traffic, which makes it a comfortable landing spot whether you are heading straight to the gates or planning a few slower days.
After you clear the ship and disembarkation at Port of Miami, your chauffeur meets your group at the terminal and carries the bags to the vehicle, so nothing rides on the sidewalk while you wait. The pickup is timed to your actual walk-off rather than a fixed clock, and a 30-minute wait window at the port absorbs a slow gangway. From there the route follows Florida’s Turnpike north for roughly 235.7 miles.
The run normally takes about 239 to 249 minutes, terminal to door, depending on traffic and the hour. The whole way your luggage stays with you in the same vehicle, and the group travels together with no added stops. Your driver takes you the full distance and pulls up at the resort entrance, then helps the bags back out at the curb, so the ride ends exactly where your stay begins.
Booking the ride in advance locks the price and the vehicle size, puts a driver on your arrival time, and turns the first leg of the trip into the easiest one. The group stays together and the luggage rides with you.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
Reserving a few days ahead is ideal, and in peak season (holidays, spring break, big cruise weekends) a week or more keeps your first-choice vehicle available. Requests inside 24 hours are welcome but depend on availability, and those bookings are non-refundable once confirmed.
We run on reservations rather than on-demand pickups. A same-day request may still work if a driver is free: message us on WhatsApp with the pickup time and we will confirm quickly. Keep in mind that a ride booked within 24 hours of pickup cannot be refunded.
No. A 50% deposit holds the vehicle when you book online, and the other half goes to your driver on the day of the ride, in cash or by card. If you prefer to settle everything at once, choose Pay in full at checkout.
Yes. After the deposit, the remaining half is paid directly to your driver when the ride is done, cash or card, whichever you prefer. There is nothing else to pay unless you added an extra service.
Cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the pickup. Inside that 24-hour window the ride is non-refundable, and no-shows are treated the same way. Booking details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can still be updated until 12 hours before pickup.
The pickup time and other details can be adjusted until 12 hours before the ride, subject to driver availability; write to us as soon as your plans change. The travel date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Payments run through Stripe over an encrypted checkout; we never see your card number. Card payments carry a 3% processing fee that is shown before you pay. Zelle is also accepted for the deposit with no fee: ask us on WhatsApp.
Not at all. Travelers reserve from all over the world, international cards are accepted at checkout, and we answer on WhatsApp and email in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Yes. Give us the flight number when you book and your driver tracks it in real time, so the pickup follows the actual landing rather than the scheduled one, at no extra cost.
Message us the moment you know. We reschedule around the new arrival whenever a driver is available; because that counts as a change to the booking, the cancellation terms above still apply if the ride cannot be rebooked.
Your driver meets you at the MIA arrivals level at the curb, and that meet-and-greet is included in the fare. If you would rather be greeted inside the terminal with a name sign, add the name-sign welcome for $20 when you book.
You receive the meeting instructions in advance, and the driver contacts you the day before the ride to confirm every detail. On landing, head to the agreed curb; connect to the airport Wi-Fi and message us on WhatsApp if anything is unclear.
The day before the ride we send the driver’s name and phone number, and the vehicle details you need to spot the car. Vehicle photos on the site show the category booked; the exact model can vary.
Call or WhatsApp us at +1 (786) 682-8748 and we connect you right away. The pickup is always coordinated at the confirmed spot, and the courtesy waiting time keeps running from your landing or your scheduled pickup.
At the airport we wait up to 60 minutes after landing on domestic flights and up to 2 hours on international arrivals; at hotels, homes and the cruise port the courtesy wait is 15 minutes. Beyond that, waiting is billed like an extra stop, $45 per 30 minutes.
The distance and the usual driving time for this exact route are listed on this page. Real timing depends on traffic and the hour, which is why the driver plans the pickup around your actual landing or ship arrival rather than a fixed clock time.
Yes. Your driver loads and unloads every bag at the curb. Drivers do not go inside the hotel or terminal to collect luggage, so have it with you at the meeting point.
Each passenger can bring one large suitcase plus one carry-on. The black SUV carries up to 5 passengers as long as passengers plus large suitcases total 10 or fewer; larger groups or extra bags move to a van. Surfboards, bikes or many extra cases need a custom setup, so tell us before booking.
Yes. Add them when you book: a child seat for babies and toddlers up to about 3 years, or a booster for ages 3 to 5. Each seat is $20 and is fitted before the driver leaves for the pickup.
Planned stops are fine when you add them at booking, priced at $45 per 30 minutes with a 30-minute minimum, then $1.50 per extra minute. Unplanned detours on the day are not part of the fare.
Never. Every transfer is private: the vehicle carries only your group, door to door, with no other pickups and no waiting for strangers.
A black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a van for 6 to 9 and a larger van for 10 to 14. The fare table on this page shows the price for each. For groups above 14 we arrange several vehicles or a minibus on a custom quote.
No. We pick up and drop off at Miami International Airport, PortMiami and the other cruise terminals, hotels, private homes, offices and event venues across South Florida and beyond.
Yes. Wedding parties, corporate groups and private events get a tailored quote with the right mix of vehicles; message us with the date, head count and schedule.
Between 9 PM and 7 AM the black SUV adds a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 farther out. The fee is shown in the quote before you book, and daytime rides carry no surcharge.
The fare shown is for the exact route named on this page. For a different pickup or drop-off address, use the ride search on this site: it prices the real road distance instantly and lets you book on the spot.
The fare includes the driver, fuel and tolls, with no hidden fees. Only optional items add to it: the 3% card fee, a name-sign welcome, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and an easy ride over to Emerald Island Resort.
Com as crianças, combinar um carro privativo do porto até Emerald Island Resort significou zero estresse na manhã do desembarque. Já guardamos o contato para o nosso próximo cruzeiro saindo do PortMiami. Para sair do navio e chegar a Emerald Island Resort sem complicação, valeu cada minuto.
The kids were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to Emerald Island Resort in one piece. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal.
The two of us arranged a private transfer for disembarkation morning so we wouldn’t hunt for a ride getting over to Emerald Island Resort. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out.
Getting off the ship on my own, I had a driver already at the curb for the ride to Emerald Island Resort — zero hassle. There was a name sign at the exit, so I knew right where to go. I was dropped at the entrance of Emerald Island Resort, not on a corner with the bags. No stress at all.
