From $590 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Quality Suites Lake Buena Vista 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.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The meet-and-greet there is included in the fare; a name-sign welcome is a $20 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Quality Suites Lake Buena Vista sits at 8200 Palm Parkway in Orlando, 32836, along the stretch of International Drive that draws most of the city’s visitors. I-Drive is Orlando’s main tourist corridor, with attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center lined up one after another, so the property keeps you close to the parts of town people actually come to see. After a long cruise week, arriving at a fixed address on this side of the city means the fun stuff is already within reach.
The location does a lot of the work. Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park are both an easy hop from the stay, and the Orange County Convention Center and SeaWorld Orlando sit nearby in the same International Drive belt. That mix suits almost every kind of traveler coming off a ship: theme-park families, convention guests, and anyone who wants dining and shopping a short ride away rather than a full drive across town.
Because our service ends at the door, your part is simply getting to 8200 Palm Parkway with your group and your bags together. For anything about the rooms, parking, or check-in timing, the hotel itself is the authority, so it is worth a quick look at Quality Suites Lake Buena Vista’s official page before you travel. Our job is the transfer that connects the terminal to that entrance, and we handle it as a single planned leg of your day rather than a scramble at the curb after you dock.
This is a door-to-door private transfer. Your chauffeur meets your group curbside at your own cruise terminal on Dodge Island, not out in a parking lot, and coordinates by message as you clear the hall so no one is left hunting for the vehicle. Bags go straight into the SUV or van, and from there it is one direct run with no shared stops and no detours through other pickups.
The drive follows Florida’s Turnpike for about 228 miles up to Orlando, and you can plan on roughly 229 to 241 minutes terminal to door depending on how traffic moves that day. Turnpike traffic is really the only variable, which is why the pickup is set to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a rigid slot. At the far end, the driver pulls up to the entrance at 8200 Palm Parkway and carries your luggage to the curb beside you.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
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.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
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.
With the little ones, pre-booking a private car from the terminal to Quality Suites Lake Buena Vista meant no scramble on disembarkation morning. We’ve already earmarked them for our next cruise out of PortMiami.
Took all the worry out of disembarkation morning — so easy. The fare was set up front, the same number we were quoted.
My husband and I weren’t up for the chaos outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Quality Suites Lake Buena Vista before we even sailed. We went from the terminal to a real bed with zero hassle along the way. Getting to Quality Suites Lake Buena Vista first thing meant we could settle in without waiting around.
Mi esposa y yo tuvimos una travesía genial y lo cerramos con un auto privado listo en la acera para llevarnos a Quality Suites Lake Buena Vista — sin una sola preocupación en la terminal. Un traspaso fácil y tranquilo para los dos — del barco a Quality Suites Lake Buena Vista sin nada que resolver. Había un cartel con nuestro nombre junto a las puertas de la terminal, así que ubicamos al conductor sin buscar nada.
There were seven of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Quality Suites Lake Buena Vista was the smart move. The SUV was fresh and comfortable, a relief in the Miami heat.
