From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to La Quinta Inn Orlando Airport West 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.
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.
La Quinta Inn Orlando Airport West is a hotel set on the western side of Orlando’s airport district, a practical landing spot for travelers coming off a cruise and heading inland from the coast. From the Port of Miami it sits roughly 229 miles up the state, reached along Florida’s Turnpike, which makes the trip a genuine road trip rather than a quick hop across town. The airport-west location keeps you close to the terminals and the main routes without dropping you in the middle of downtown.
On arrival you find a straightforward airport-area hotel, positioned for anyone catching an early flight, resting before the parks, or using Orlando as a base for a few days. The property’s own page is the place to confirm the details that matter on the day — amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in — so your plans line up with what the front desk can actually offer when you walk in tired from the road.
Orlando stretches well beyond its theme parks, and this address puts a real city within reach. Downtown, Lake Eola draws people to its swans and lakeside paths. Winter Park’s Park Avenue lines up boutiques and shaded sidewalks, and the Kia Center fills with arena nights when a game or show is on. Families come off the ships every week and settle in here between the water and the rides, while groups sailing out of Orlando appreciate one calm arrival instead of a scramble of separate cars. Whatever brings you north, the hotel works as a quiet anchor at the end of a long day.
Your ride begins right at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Once you clear the gangway, the driver is coordinated by message and meets you at the curb, takes the bags, and loads them into the vehicle so your hands stay free. From there it is a single run north with no stops you haven’t asked for, and your group has the vehicle to itself the whole way.
The route follows Florida’s Turnpike for the roughly 229-mile trip, which usually runs about 226 to 236 minutes from terminal to hotel door depending on traffic. A built-in wait window absorbs slow disembarkation on busy port mornings, and at La Quinta Inn Orlando Airport West the driver pulls up to the entrance and sets your luggage down beside you.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
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.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
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.
The eight of us came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the port to La Quinta Inn Orlando Airport West. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to lift a thing.
We weren’t about to wrangle kids and luggage looking for a ride at the port, so we booked a private van to La Quinta Inn Orlando Airport West. We got a clear confirmation, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
Esperando en la acera apenas salimos, y un traslado cómodo hasta La Quinta Inn Orlando Airport West.
We booked one van for the whole group from the terminal to La Quinta Inn Orlando Airport West so we all checked in together. We knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
Comfortable ride, easy pickup, and a driver who handled the terminal like a pro. Recommend. We were dropped at the entrance of La Quinta Inn Orlando Airport West, not on a corner with the bags.
