From $590 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Banyan Hotel & MicroSuites 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.
Banyan Hotel & MicroSuites sits at 5565 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy, right on the long resort corridor that runs through Kissimmee south of Disney. This is US-192, the Irlo Bronson Highway, and the address puts you on one of Central Florida’s busiest vacation strips — a stretch lined with hotels, restaurants, and the pool-home communities that fill up when the parks are in season. The MicroSuites name points to the format: compact, self-contained rooms built for travelers who want a practical base near the action rather than a sprawling property.
What makes the location work is how much sits within easy reach. Old Town Kissimmee, a walkable district of shops and classic-car gatherings, is part of the same US-192 scene, so there is somewhere to wander once you have dropped your bags. The highway itself is the connective tissue of the area, feeding into the resort communities on either side and keeping the theme parks a short hop north.
For anyone who wants a break from the manufactured attractions, the real Florida is close too. Lake Tohopekaliga — Lake Toho to locals — is known for its airboat rides across open marsh, and Gatorland, the classic Kissimmee wildlife park, is another nearby draw. Between the resort strip, the lake, and the parks a little farther out, Banyan Hotel & MicroSuites gives you a central spot to settle into after a long transfer, with plenty to fill the days that follow.
Your chauffeur meets your group curbside at your own cruise terminal, not out in a parking lot, and loads the luggage there so you never have to drag bags across the port. From the terminal it is one direct leg up Florida’s Turnpike — roughly 229.6 miles, about 228 to 237 minutes depending on traffic — to the door at Banyan Hotel & MicroSuites. It is your vehicle and your group the whole way, with the pace, the stops, and the climate set to suit you.
The pickup is staged around your ship’s actual arrival, coordinated by message as you walk off, so a slow gangway or a long customs line does not cost you the ride. At the hotel end, the driver brings you right to the main entrance on the US-192 strip and helps with the bags again, so the trip ends the same easy way it began.
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.
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.
Late is fine: the SUV night fee is $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 outside them for pickups between 9 PM and 7 AM. A stop on the route runs $45 per 30 minutes, and a child seat is $15.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Todo nuestro grupo bajamos juntos y fue muy fácil tener una van privada esperando en la terminal para el viaje a Banyan Hotel & MicroSuites — todos en un solo vehículo. Pasamos del barco a la recepción de Banyan Hotel & MicroSuites sin estrés alguno.
A tiempo, profesional, y el conductor se sabía las salidas de memoria. Teníamos una confirmación clara, así que no quedaba de qué preocuparse en la terminal.
Mi esposo y yo terminamos un crucero buenísimo y lo cerramos con un auto privado listo en la acera para llevarnos a Banyan Hotel & MicroSuites — sin líos en el puerto. El conductor nos dejó en la entrada de Banyan Hotel & MicroSuites, y no en una esquina con las maletas. El SUV estaba limpio, fresco y cómodo, un alivio con el calor de Miami. Lo reservaría para el próximo crucero.
Los dos zarpamos de PortMiami y tener un auto privado listo en la acera para el viaje hasta Banyan Hotel & MicroSuites nos quitó todo el estrés.
