From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Country Inns & Suites 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.
Country Inns & Suites is a hotel set along International Drive, the long, well-known boulevard that runs through the Orlando area north of Miami. By road it sits about 228.6 miles from the Port of Miami, so this is a genuine cross-Florida run rather than a quick city hop. Reaching it after a cruise means trading the coastline for central Florida, and having a private vehicle carry you and your luggage the whole way makes that distance feel a good deal shorter.
The setting is the draw here. International Drive strings together some of the region’s most familiar names, and from your base at Country Inns & Suites several of them are close at hand. Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park, with its towering observation wheel, are nearby, as is SeaWorld. For anyone mixing business with the trip, the Orange County Convention Center is close by too, and the Orlando International Premium Outlets put shopping within easy reach along the same corridor.
That combination makes the hotel a practical place to settle after stepping off the ship. You can unpack once and still have theme parks, dining, and shopping arranged along a single hotel-lined stretch, most of it a short local drive away. Whether you are staying on for a few days of parks and outlets or simply need a comfortable place to rest before an onward flight, arriving with your bags handled and the address reached directly lets the visit start on your terms rather than at a rental counter or a rideshare pickup line.
Once your ship is cleared, your chauffeur is waiting at the terminal, ready to load every bag and set off. From the pier it is one straight run up Florida’s Turnpike to Country Inns & Suites, with no detours and no other passengers sharing the vehicle. Plan on roughly 229 to 239 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and the traffic. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest stretch, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, which keeps the wait short even when thousands of travelers come ashore at once.
The vehicle is reserved for your party alone, door to door, with your luggage stored inside for the full trip. Tolls and fuel are already built into the flat rate, so nothing is added along the way. You settle in, and the driver handles the route, the highway, and the bags from the curb at the terminal to the entrance at Country Inns & Suites.
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.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
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.
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.
Yes for the details: add a passenger, a child seat or a note up to 12 hours before the pickup time. No for the date, which stays as booked.
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.
A great way to finish the trip — handled from the curb to the lobby. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs.
De crucero con los niños, no queríamos caos el día del desembarque, así que una van privada esperando en la terminal Country Inns & Suites fue perfecto. Los niños estaban rendidos tras una semana en el mar, y llegar directo a Country Inns & Suites sin correr en el puerto fue perfecto. La tarifa estaba fija desde la reserva, sin sorpresas en una mañana de desembarque cargada.
For a stress-free morning off the ship, my wife and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Country Inns & Suites.
With the whole crew, pre-booking a private car from the port to Country Inns & Suites meant no scramble on disembarkation morning. The ride from the terminal to Country Inns & Suites was easy the whole way, and we could just watch the city go by. We were dropped at the entrance of Country Inns & Suites, not down the block.
Los dos coordinamos un traslado privado para la mañana del desembarque y así no preocuparnos por los tiempos camino a Country Inns & Suites. La tarifa estaba cerrada al reservar, exactamente lo acordado.
