From $590 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Orange Lake Resorts River Island Waterpark in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Orange Lake Resorts River Island Waterpark sits in the Kissimmee area of Central Florida, along the US-192 corridor that has long served as the practical value base for the region’s theme parks. It is the kind of place families settle into for a few days of resort living, with the wider Kissimmee stretch of vacation homes, low-key attractions, and easy park access spread out around it. When your ride pulls in, drop-off covers Kissimmee and the streets right around where you are staying, so you land at the door rather than somewhere you then have to sort out on your own.
The surrounding US-192 strip is part of the appeal. This is the corridor known for its clusters of vacation homes, Old Town’s carnival strip, and the gator attractions that Florida visitors seek out, all of it sitting only minutes from Disney. It is a spread-out, drive-everywhere part of the state, which is exactly why a private car that carries your cruise luggage the whole way makes the transition from ship to resort so much simpler.
Coming straight off a cruise, that ease matters. You have spent the morning clearing the terminal and gathering bags, and the last thing you want is to manage connections across an unfamiliar region. A ride booked to Orange Lake Resorts River Island Waterpark takes you from the pier to the resort in one direct run, your luggage stored with you the entire time. You step out at your stay in Kissimmee, ready to start the vacation part of the trip without the logistics hanging over it.
The trip from the Port of Miami to Orange Lake Resorts River Island Waterpark is one direct run of roughly 235 miles, following Florida’s Turnpike north out of the city. Plan on about 237 to 247 minutes behind the wheel, depending on the hour and how the traffic moves that day. Your chauffeur is staged at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, timed to your actual disembarkation, so there is no waiting around for a car once you walk off the ship.
From the pier it stays simple: bags to the curb, luggage loaded and kept in the vehicle the whole way, and a single ride that ends at the door of your resort in Kissimmee. The car is reserved for your group alone, so the pace is yours and the route runs straight through without detours or added pickups. You arrive with the travel day behind you and the vacation ahead.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. A child seat is $15 on request, and any added stop is $45 per 30 minutes.
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.
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.
Our family of six came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver helped with the whole pile of luggage for the ride to Orange Lake Resorts River Island Waterpark. The fare was locked in at booking, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning.
For a stress-free morning off the ship, my wife and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Orange Lake Resorts River Island Waterpark. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so we didn’t have to juggle it all. The ride from the terminal to Orange Lake Resorts River Island Waterpark was easy the whole way, and we could just settle in. Made getting off the ship so easy.
Mi pareja y yo salimos del barco en PortMiami y había un auto privado ahí mismo para nosotros para llevarnos a Orange Lake Resorts River Island Waterpark. Sin filas que hacer — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin paradas ajenas — justo lo indicado para esa mañana.
Smooth transfer, fixed fare, zero hassle from the terminal to Orange Lake Resorts River Island Waterpark. Recommend it without hesitation. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal.
Nuestra familia de cuatro bajó del barco en PortMiami y el conductor ayudó con toda la pila de equipaje para el viaje a Orange Lake Resorts River Island Waterpark. Ya guardamos el contacto para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — el puerto quedó totalmente resuelto.
