From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hotel Elite Altamonte Springs (Orlando) in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Hotel Elite Altamonte Springs sits in the Orlando area, which makes it a natural landing spot for cruise travelers who want a few days inland once the ship is behind them. Orlando is more than its parks, and a stay here puts you within reach of a real downtown as well as the quieter corners around it. The hotel is your address for the ride; the terminal on Dodge Island is where the trip begins.
Step outside and Orlando opens up in every direction. Downtown, Lake Eola Park draws walkers to its lakeside path and its resident swans, and arena nights at the Kia Center keep the calendar full. Art lovers can spend an afternoon at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum, and the boutiques along Park Avenue give the area a slower, browse-worthy pace. None of it is far once you have a base to return to at the end of the day.
Anything about the stay itself — rooms, hours, on-site details — lives on the hotel’s own page; our part is the road between the port and the door. For groups sailing together, one coordinated pickup beats juggling a dozen separate arrivals: a single vehicle, a single invoice, and one arrival time that everyone shares. Whether you are here for a long weekend or a full week of Orlando, the arrival is handled the moment you book, so the trip inland is the easy part of the day.
Book before you dock and disembarkation turns simple. Your reserved black car meets you at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, the chauffeur loads every bag at the curb, and the vehicle heads north on Florida’s Turnpike in one direct leg to Hotel Elite Altamonte Springs. There are no stops along the way and no shared seating — the vehicle belongs to your party alone, door to door.
Plan on roughly 242 to 250 minutes on the road, depending on the hour, across more than 230 miles between the port and your Orlando address. Ships rarely clear everyone at the same minute, so the pickup is timed to your actual arrival, with a 30-minute wait built in to cover customs and the luggage hall. You walk out, the car is there, and the drive inland begins. Tolls and fuel are already in the price.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
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.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. The first child seat or booster is included; each additional one is $20. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
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. The first seat or booster is included with your booking, each additional one is $20, and they are 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, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Smoothest disembarkation we’ve had — driver at the curb, bags handled, straight to the door of Hotel Elite Altamonte Springs (Orlando). The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when we needed it.
Easy ride, fixed fare, no surprises from the terminal to Hotel Elite Altamonte Springs (Orlando). Would book again. Getting to Hotel Elite Altamonte Springs (Orlando) with no detours meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
No quería jugármela con un transporte la mañana en que bajé del barco, así que coordiné un auto privado del puerto a Hotel Elite Altamonte Springs (Orlando). Había treinta minutos de margen desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuve que apurarme para bajar del barco.
Mi pareja y yo no estábamos para líos afuera de la terminal, así que coordinamos un viaje privado a Hotel Elite Altamonte Springs (Orlando) antes de zarpar.
The kids were half asleep when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to Hotel Elite Altamonte Springs (Orlando) before anyone lost it. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when we needed it. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out. Highly recommend.
