From $590 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Spark By Hilton Seaworld 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. 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.
Spark By Hilton Seaworld sits along International Drive, the long tourist corridor that carries most of Orlando’s visitors from one attraction to the next. This is the part of town people picture when they think about an Orlando trip: hotels, dining, and things to do stacked close together, with the convention crowd and the theme-park crowd sharing the same busy strip. Choosing a room here means you are already inside the action rather than driving in from somewhere quieter.
The stretch around the property is built for out-of-town guests. International Drive runs thick with attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center, so an afternoon of shopping, a family outing, or a work event tends to be a short hop rather than a cross-town trek. It is a practical base for a group coming off a cruise who wants to keep the second half of the trip simple and central, with plenty within reach once you have settled in.
Several of Orlando’s big names are close by from this spot. Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park are both within easy reach of the stay, and the Orange County Convention Center and SeaWorld Orlando are nearby on the same International Drive corridor. For the details that change by season, such as rooms, parking, and check-in times, the property’s own official page is the place to confirm. Arrive knowing where you are, and the rest of the visit falls into place around you.
Your chauffeur is waiting at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, coordinated by message as your group clears the exit and meets you at the curb. Tell us the cruise line so the vehicle is staged at the correct terminal. Bags go straight into the car, and the drive to Spark By Hilton Seaworld runs as one direct leg north on Florida’s Turnpike, roughly 229 miles covered in about 228 to 237 minutes depending on how the traffic moves that day.
Because a ship rarely releases everyone at the same moment, the pickup is timed to your actual arrival rather than a rigid slot, with 30 minutes of complimentary wait built in to cover customs and the luggage hall. You walk out, the car is there, and your group travels together to the door. Traffic on the Turnpike is the only real variable, which is why the plan leaves room to spare instead of cutting the timing to the minute.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
My husband and I walked off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Spark By Hilton Seaworld. We were dropped straight at the door of Spark By Hilton Seaworld, not down the block.
No quería andar buscando un transporte la mañana en que bajé del barco, así que coordiné un auto privado de la terminal a Spark By Hilton Seaworld. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — del barco a la puerta del hotel sin estrés. El conductor me dejó directo frente a Spark By Hilton Seaworld, y no del otro lado de la calle. Muy recomendable.
For a stress-free morning off the ship, my husband and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Spark By Hilton Seaworld. No lot to comb through — we just stepped out and the car was ready.
First time cruising on my own out of PortMiami, and having a private car there the second I walked out for the trip to Spark By Hilton Seaworld made it painless. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so I didn’t have to lift a thing.
A few friends and I came off the ship together and booked one private van from the port to Spark By Hilton Seaworld.
