From $590 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lifetime of Vacations 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.
Lifetime of Vacations Resort sits in the Davenport and Clermont area of Central Florida, west of the Disney exits along I-4. It belongs to a stretch of countryside where golf resorts and rental villas spread out among the lakes and low hills, so the address feels calmer than the crowded corridors closer to the parks. Guests come here for space and quiet, with the big attractions still an easy drive away.
The neighborhood around the property is built for people who want a home base rather than a hotel room. ChampionsGate and Reunion Resort are close by, both known for their golf and their villa-style stays, and the parks stay minutes off without the crush of the tourist strip. The Clermont chain of lakes is nearby as well, giving the area an outdoors feel that many first-time visitors do not expect from this part of Florida.
Once you have settled in, there is plenty within reach for the days you are not chasing the theme parks. Posner Park handles shopping and a bite to eat, while the lakes and the surrounding resort communities fill the slower afternoons. Because the resort is off the busiest routes, arrival tends to be smooth: you reach the property directly, without weaving through the tourist traffic that clogs the districts nearer the gates. It makes Lifetime of Vacations Resort a practical landing spot for families who want the parks handy but the pace of their stay under their own control.
Your chauffeur meets you curbside at your own cruise terminal, not out in a parking lot, and handles the luggage right there at the port. From the moment your bags are loaded, it is one direct leg to Lifetime of Vacations Resort by way of Florida’s Turnpike, with no stops and no shuttle line to stand in. The vehicle is yours alone for the trip, and fuel, standard tolls, and luggage help are already inside the flat rate.
Plan on roughly 228 miles from the terminal to the property, and allow about 235 to 259 minutes on the road depending on the hour and the traffic. Weekend mornings are the busiest at the port, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guessed clock time. That way the ride starts when you are truly off the ship and ready to go, and the drive to the resort runs as a single, unbroken trip.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. A child seat is fitted on request for $15. Extra stops along the way are $45 per 30 minutes.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
Private, punctual, and we didn’t have to worry about anything between the ship and Lifetime of Vacations Resort. The kids were done after a week at sea, and getting straight to Lifetime of Vacations Resort without a scramble at the port was perfect.
After our cruise, my partner and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we lined up a private car to Lifetime of Vacations Resort. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — a relief after a week aboard. We had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
Descemos do navio prontos para uma cama de verdade e um carro privativo direto até Lifetime of Vacations Resort foi a escolha certa. Havia uma placa com o nosso nome junto às portas do terminal, então achamos o motorista sem procurar nada.
My husband and I weren’t up for the chaos outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Lifetime of Vacations Resort before we even sailed. We’ve already saved them for our next cruise out of PortMiami. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
Primera vez de crucero solo desde PortMiami, y tener un auto privado ahí mismo al salir para el viaje a Lifetime of Vacations Resort me quitó la preocupación. Había un cartel con mi nombre en la salida, así que ubiqué al conductor al instante. La noche anterior recibí un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no quedaba nada por resolver al salir.
