From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Marriott Sabal Palms Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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 Sabal Palms Resort is a full resort set along the International Drive corridor, the long, hotel-lined boulevard that gathers so much of the area’s lodging in one stretch. It is the kind of place travelers pick as a home base for an Orlando-area stay, a comfortable landing point at the end of a cruise rather than a quick overnight. Your driver brings you straight here from the ship, and everything about the stay itself sits with Marriott’s own team once you arrive.
The setting is a big part of the appeal. International Drive strings together several of the region’s headline stops within the same run of road, so guests here often fold in Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park with its tall observation wheel, along with SeaWorld Orlando close by. The Orange County Convention Center sits along the same corridor, which makes this a practical base for anyone here on business as well as families arriving fresh off a sailing. It is a genuinely lively part of Orlando, with plenty walkable or a short ride away.
Coming off a cruise, the plan is simple: you clear the terminal, meet your chauffeur, and ride in one direct leg to the resort’s main entrance. There is no juggling bags on a curb between connections and no scramble for a car once you land ashore. We handle the road part, door to door, and hand you off at Marriott Sabal Palms Resort ready to check in and settle into the rest of your trip.
This is a terminal-to-door private run. Your chauffeur meets your group at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, coordinated by message as you walk off, and loads every bag at the curb so the luggage rides with you the whole way. A courtesy wait window of 30 minutes past the scheduled pickup absorbs slow gangways, so a late disembarkation does not cost you the ride. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone, one direct leg with no shared stops.
From the port the route runs up Florida’s Turnpike to the resort, a single, direct stretch rather than a string of connections. Plan on roughly 228 to 255 minutes depending on the hour, with weekend port mornings the busiest as thousands of passengers come off the ships at once. Because the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation and the tolls and fuel are already built into the flat fare, there is nothing to sort out on the day but the drive itself.
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.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
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.
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.
Viajando com a família, reservamos uma van privativa para nos esperar no terminal de cruzeiros e levar todos até Marriott Sabal Palms Resort. O motorista nos deixou direto em frente a Marriott Sabal Palms Resort, e não do outro lado da rua. Chegar a Marriott Sabal Palms Resort sem desvios significou que pudemos fazer o check-in e enfim tomar um banho depois da semana no mar.
Con los niños, reservar un auto privado del puerto a Marriott Sabal Palms Resort significó cero estrés la mañana del desembarque. La tarifa estaba cerrada al reservar, exactamente lo acordado.
Mi esposa y yo tuvimos una travesía genial y lo rematamos con un auto privado esperando en la terminal para llevarnos a Marriott Sabal Palms Resort — sin líos en el puerto. El conductor metió toda la pila de equipaje para que no tuviéramos que hacer fuerza.
There were nine of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Marriott Sabal Palms Resort was the smart move. Getting to Marriott Sabal Palms Resort first thing meant we could settle in without waiting around. For a stress-free way to get from the ship to Marriott Sabal Palms Resort, it was money well spent.
I was traveling solo and booked a private car to meet me at the port once the ship docked and take me right over to Marriott Sabal Palms Resort. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was there exactly when I needed it. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt totally comfortable from the terminal all the way to the door of Marriott Sabal Palms Resort.
