From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Marriott Orlando Airport Lakeside in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside meet-and-greet costs nothing extra; the inside name-sign welcome adds $20.
Marriott Orlando Airport Lakeside is your address in Orlando, standing at 7499 Augusta National Drive. It sits about 232 road miles up from the Port of Miami cruise terminals, which makes it a true long-haul destination rather than a quick hop across town. Arriving here means the busy pier is well behind you and the calmer pace of central Florida is ahead, with the hotel waiting at the end of a single overland run.
The location puts guests within easy reach of what Orlando is actually known for. Lake Eola Park and its downtown swans are close by, and the Kia Center and the surrounding Amway arena district are part of the same corner of the city. The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum adds a quieter cultural stop, and Winter Park’s Park Avenue boutiques give you an unhurried afternoon of browsing once you have settled in.
What you find on arrival is a real city rather than a strip of parks. Beyond the theme-park draw, Orlando has downtown blocks, arena nights, and neighborhoods worth wandering, and this hotel keeps you positioned to reach them without a long slog each morning. After the crowds of a cruise departure, the space and steadier rhythm of the area tend to be a welcome change, and having a fixed base at Augusta National Drive lets you plan your days around what you want to see rather than around the traffic. It is a practical landing point for a group coming off the water and heading inland.
The trip is one direct overland leg from the cruise terminal to the door at Augusta National Drive. Your chauffeur is staged and waiting as you clear disembarkation, loads every bag at the terminal curb, and keeps your party together in a single vehicle reserved for you alone. There is no detour to collect other passengers, so the roughly 232 miles run as one clean stretch north along Florida’s Turnpike and I-95.
Plan on about 225 to 238 minutes from the terminal to the hotel door, shifting a little with traffic and the hour you roll out. Disembarkation mornings pile up quickly at the exits, but because the driver is in place before you finish the walk off the ship, the waiting is theirs and not yours. You climb in, the luggage is already stowed, and the vehicle points straight toward Orlando with stops made only when you ask for them.
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.
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 black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
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.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
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.
Para un desembarque fácil, mi pareja y yo hicimos que un conductor privado nos recibiera en la terminal de cruceros y nos llevara a Marriott Orlando Airport Lakeside. La noche anterior recibimos un texto con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no quedaba nada por resolver al salir.
El grupo entero bajamos juntos y fue un alivio tener una van privada esperando en la terminal para el viaje a Marriott Orlando Airport Lakeside — sin dividirnos. Pasamos del barco a la recepción de Marriott Orlando Airport Lakeside sin nada de qué preocuparnos en el medio. La tarifa estaba acordada de antemano, exactamente lo acordado. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
Fuimos de crucero con una tropa grande y queríamos a todos y las maletas en un solo viaje privado a Marriott Orlando Airport Lakeside tras desembarcar. La tarifa estaba cerrada al reservar, sin sorpresas en una mañana de desembarque cargada.
Stepping off the ship, having a private car ready to Marriott Orlando Airport Lakeside was such a relief. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
My husband and I walked off the ship at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Marriott Orlando Airport Lakeside. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal.
