From $590 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to ette hotel Orlando 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included; a name-sign welcome is available for an extra $20. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
ette hotel Orlando sits in the Kissimmee corridor south of Disney, the stretch of central Florida where the theme-park crowds thin out and the pace eases. It lies about 233.6 miles by road from Port of Miami, reached along Florida’s Turnpike as a single run north out of the coast. This is the part of greater Orlando built for people who want the parks close but the evenings quiet, and the hotel is set among the resorts and pool-home communities that line the area.
The setting puts a good slice of Kissimmee within easy reach. US-192, the Irlo Bronson Highway, threads through the district and links the resorts to the wider region. Lake Tohopekaliga, the big lake locals call Lake Toho, is close by, with airboat rides working its shallows. Gatorland and the Kissimmee Lakefront round out what’s near, so a stay here mixes the pull of the parks with room to breathe between visits.
Pulling in after a long drive from the cruise terminals, you arrive at the door with your bags carried the whole way, no transfers and no shuffling luggage between vehicles. The chauffeur brings you to the property itself rather than a distant drop point, so the last stretch of the trip is as direct as the highway that got you there. Anything about the rooms, check-in, or what the property offers lives on ette hotel Orlando’s own official page — the ride from the ship to your door is the part we handle, start to finish.
The trip begins right at your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island, timed to your actual disembarkation rather than to whatever car happens to be free. The chauffeur is waiting when you walk off, loads your bags at the curb, and the whole group rides in one vehicle that belongs to you alone. From there it’s Florida’s Turnpike more or less the entire way, so the run to ette hotel Orlando is one clean, direct leg with no changes along the route.
Plan on roughly 233.6 miles and 233 to 244 minutes on the road, depending on the hour you set out. On a drive this long the private vehicle earns its keep: you choose the departure, the pace, and the stops, and your luggage stays with you from the terminal curb to the hotel door. There’s no packed vehicle and no waiting on availability — just a planned pickup, a straight highway, and a chauffeur who knows the port.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
The black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
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.
Viajando con los pequeños, coordinamos una van privada para que estuviera en la acera y llevara a todos hasta ette hotel Orlando. Reservar fue rápido, recibimos los datos de recogida claros, y todo calzó perfecto. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — todo se acomodó solo en la terminal. Muy recomendable.
Nuestra familia de cinco bajó del barco en PortMiami y el conductor cargó todas las maletas del crucero para el viaje a ette hotel Orlando.
Our crew booked one van straight from the port to ette hotel Orlando, and it was so easy. Booking was easy, we got everything in writing, and everything went exactly as planned. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was reliable and on time.
For an easy disembarkation, my wife and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to ette hotel Orlando.
After our cruise, my wife and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we arranged a private car to ette hotel Orlando. Getting to ette hotel Orlando first thing meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
