From $590 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Comfort Inn Maingate in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The terminal greeting is covered by the fare and a name sign is offered for $20. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Comfort Inn Maingate sits at 7675 West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway in Kissimmee, 34747, right on the US-192 corridor that has long been the value base for the theme parks. This is the classic Kissimmee address — vacation homes, roadside attractions, and quick reach to the gates, without an on-property price tag. Your ride ends at the door, so the first thing you touch after the cruise terminal is the lobby rather than another line.
The stretch around the hotel gives families plenty to fold into a trip. Old Town Kissimmee and its carnival strip sit close by, Gatorland keeps the reptiles within reach, and Lake Tohopekaliga adds open water and airboat country to the mix. The parks themselves are only minutes away, which is the whole reason to base here — you stay on Irlo Bronson Highway and get to Disney quickly each morning. Guests here often work these spots into the days after they come ashore.
Drop-off covers Kissimmee and the streets right around your stay, so the chauffeur brings you to Comfort Inn Maingate itself instead of some distant transfer point. For anything about the room, on-site parking, or check-in timing, the property is the place to ask — those details live with the hotel, not with the ride. What we handle is the leg from the pier to this door: one address per reservation, your party alone in the vehicle, and every bag carried from curb to lobby.
After you clear the ship, the chauffeur meets your group at your cruise line’s own terminal, loads every bag at the curb, and points the vehicle north. From the Port of Miami the route runs up Florida’s Turnpike in one direct leg to Comfort Inn Maingate — about 228 miles, no stops to break the trip, and no luggage-drag across the port.
Budget roughly 235 to 258 minutes for the run, depending on the hour you roll off the ship. The pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, and the turnpike traffic is already built into the plan, so weekend mornings when the port empties all at once do not throw off the timing. The vehicle is yours alone the whole way, with your bags riding with you door to door.
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.
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.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
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.
So glad we pre-booked — clean car, great driver, no scramble at the port, right to the door. We were dropped straight at the door of Comfort Inn Maingate, not on a corner with the bags.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car meet us at the terminal for the ride over to Comfort Inn Maingate was the best part of the day.
Nós dois zarpamos de PortMiami e ter um carro privativo esperando no terminal para a viagem até Comfort Inn Maingate tirou todo o estresse. Fomos do navio à recepção de Comfort Inn Maingate sem estresse nenhum.
As a solo cruiser I arranged a private transfer from PortMiami to Comfort Inn Maingate for disembarkation morning, and it took all the guesswork out of it.
Coordinamos una sola van para la comitiva entera de la terminal a Comfort Inn Maingate para que nadie se quedara atrás. Llegar a Comfort Inn Maingate directo desde la terminal significó que pudimos instalarnos sin esperar.
