From $590 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hilton Garden Inn Lake Buena Vista / Orlando in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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.
Hilton Garden Inn Lake Buena Vista / Orlando stands at 11400 Marbella Palm Court, Orlando 32836, in the Lake Buena Vista corner of Central Florida. It is a hotel stay set well inland from the coast, a long way north of the cruise port, and it makes a natural base for travelers heading into the Orlando area after a sailing. The address is fixed and the entrance is easy to reach, so your chauffeur brings you to the door rather than a nearby drop point.
When your ride pulls in, the driver comes to the entrance itself and hands your bags over lobby to curb, so the last stretch of the trip is as short as walking inside. Everything about the property itself, the rooms and the front desk and the amenities on site, is handled by the hotel and lives on its own official page. Our part of the day is the road between the ship and this address, and we keep that part clean.
Because the hotel sits deep in Central Florida rather than near PortMiami, arriving by private vehicle means you step out of the car already at your door, luggage in hand, with nothing left to arrange. There is no transfer to sort out on the far end and no second leg to book. For a group landing together after a cruise, that single door-to-door run turns a long haul across the state into one settled arrival at Hilton Garden Inn Lake Buena Vista / Orlando.
This is one direct run from the cruise terminal to Hilton Garden Inn Lake Buena Vista / Orlando, booked before you dock. Once you clear the terminal and reach the curb, your chauffeur is already waiting at the exact pier your cruise line uses, and the vehicle heads north along Florida’s Turnpike straight to the hotel with no stops along the way. Your luggage stays in the vehicle the whole time, loaded once at the port and unloaded once at the entrance.
The pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, not a slot cut to the minute, so a slow disembarkation does not cost you the ride. It is a long haul across the state, which is exactly where a private vehicle earns its keep, with your own space, your own climate, and stops only when you ask for them. One vehicle, one chauffeur, and one address at the end.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
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.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. A child seat is fitted on request for $15. Extra stops along the way are $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.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
Traveling with the kids, we booked a private van to meet us at the cruise terminal and take everyone over to Hilton Garden Inn Lake Buena Vista / Orlando. Getting to Hilton Garden Inn Lake Buena Vista / Orlando first thing meant we could settle in without waiting around.
Meu companheiro e eu saímos do navio no PortMiami e havia um carro privativo pronto no terminal para nos levar até Hilton Garden Inn Lake Buena Vista / Orlando. Era um carro privativo só para a nossa turma — sem paradas de outros — exatamente o certo para aquela manhã. Tínhamos todo o plano antes mesmo de o navio atracar, então não havia o que adivinhar no porto. Reservaria para o próximo cruzeiro.
Our whole group rode together straight from the port to Hilton Garden Inn Lake Buena Vista / Orlando, and nobody had to think about a thing. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
Took all the worry out of getting off the ship — exactly what we needed. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
Reservamos una sola van para la comitiva entera de la terminal a Hilton Garden Inn Lake Buena Vista / Orlando para que nadie se quedara atrás. El viaje de la terminal a Hilton Garden Inn Lake Buena Vista / Orlando fue tranquilo y parejo, y pudimos acomodarnos y nada más.
