From $590 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to JAVA Vacation Villas 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included; a name-sign welcome is available for an extra $20. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
JAVA Vacation Villas is a Kissimmee vacation-home base built for travelers who want room to spread out rather than a single hotel room. It sits roughly 230.5 miles by road from the Port of Miami, well up the state along Florida’s Turnpike, so reaching it from the cruise terminal is a genuine road trip that lands you in central Florida’s park country by the time you arrive.
The address puts you on the US-192 / Irlo Bronson Highway corridor, the classic value strip for the Kissimmee area and a short hop from the theme parks. Old Town Kissimmee, with its carnival-style stretch of rides and shops, is close by, and the parks that draw everyone up this way sit only minutes from the corridor. The setup leans toward families and groups who want a home-style stay near the attractions without paying resort-district rates.
When your ride pulls up to the entrance, you step into a neighborhood built around exactly this kind of trip. Gator attractions such as Gatorland are within reach, and the Kissimmee Lakefront gives you an easy change of pace away from the highway. If you are extending your stay after the cruise, the surrounding US-192 area keeps dining, small attractions, and park access all within a tight radius, so you can settle in and plan the days without a long drive to reach any of it. It is the kind of arrival point where the vacation starts the moment the bags come off the vehicle.
The trip begins right after you clear disembarkation. Your chauffeur meets you at the terminal curb, not a distant lot, loads every bag, and pulls out for JAVA Vacation Villas with the vehicle held for your group alone. The route follows Florida’s Turnpike for the long run north, a single direct ride with no stops added unless you ask for one, and your luggage stays in the vehicle the whole way.
Plan on roughly 229 to 239 minutes from the terminal curb to the door at JAVA Vacation Villas, shifting with traffic and the hour. Because the drive covers about 230.5 miles, the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room built in rather than a slot cut to the minute, so a slow exit off the ship never leaves the car gone. When you reach Kissimmee, the driver brings you to the entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
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.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
Walking off the ship on my own, the last thing I wanted was to sort out transport at the port, so I had a private car lined up for the run to JAVA Vacation Villas.
Smooth transfer, fixed fare, zero hassle from the terminal to JAVA Vacation Villas. Would book again.
Coming down the gangway by myself, the last thing I wanted was to drag my bags around looking for a ride at the port, so I had a private car lined up for the run to JAVA Vacation Villas. The SUV was fresh and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
Mi esposo y yo bajamos por la pasarela en PortMiami y había un auto privado listo en la terminal para llevarnos a JAVA Vacation Villas. Pasamos del barco a la recepción de JAVA Vacation Villas sin estrés alguno. Reservar fue rápido, recibimos los datos de recogida claros, y todo salió tal cual.
Viajando con los niños, coordinamos una van privada para que nos esperara en la terminal de cruceros y llevara a todos hasta JAVA Vacation Villas. El SUV estaba impecable, un alivio con el calor de Miami. Reservar fue fácil, recibimos una confirmación sólida, y todo calzó perfecto. Lo reservaría para el próximo crucero.
