From $590 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sheraton Vistana Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
Sheraton Vistana Resort sits along International Drive in Orlando, and the address for your ride is 8800 Vistana Centre Drive. It is a resort stay set within Orlando’s busy tourist corridor, so after a long day at sea you arrive at one settled address rather than a string of stops. Because the drop-off point is a single known address, the whole ride is planned around it in advance, and the chauffeur brings you straight to the property with your luggage, ending the trip right at the door.
International Drive — I-Drive to most people — is Orlando’s main tourist artery. Attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center are stacked end to end along its length, which puts the shops, the dining, and much of the city’s entertainment within the same stretch as your room. If your plans lean toward shopping, a show, or an easy walk to dinner, the resort’s place on this corridor keeps those options close. Much of this side of Orlando tends to gather here, which is part of why the resort sits where it does.
The area around the resort holds several of Orlando’s larger draws. Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park are within easy reach of the stay, and the Orange County Convention Center and SeaWorld Orlando are also nearby on International Drive. That mix — theme parks, a major convention venue, and I-Drive’s own lineup of things to do — means the destination works for a family parks week, a business trip, or a quiet stopover between sailings, all from a single base you can settle into.
From the Port of Miami, the ride to Sheraton Vistana Resort is one run north along Florida’s Turnpike — about 227.2 miles, ending at the resort’s door. Plan on 225 to 252 minutes between the cruise terminal and the resort, depending on the hour. The driver meets your group at the exact terminal your cruise line uses on Dodge Island, coordinated by message as you clear the hall, so there is no searching for a car once you step outside.
Your bags go into the vehicle at the pier and come out at 8800 Vistana Centre Drive, with no mid-route transfers and no sharing the space with another group. The pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a fixed slot, and traffic on the Turnpike is the only real variable on a drive this long. It is your own vehicle for the whole trip, so you set the departure and the pace.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
A 50% deposit reserves the ride online; the balance is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
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.
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.
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.
Esperando en la acera apenas salimos, y un trayecto tranquilo hasta Sheraton Vistana Resort. Para llegar del barco a Sheraton Vistana Resort sin estrés, fue dinero bien gastado.
Mi esposa y yo terminamos un crucero buenísimo y lo cerramos con un auto privado listo en la acera para llevarnos a Sheraton Vistana Resort — sin líos en el puerto. Había un cartel con nuestro nombre en la salida, así que ubicamos al conductor sin dar vueltas.
For an easy disembarkation, my partner and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Sheraton Vistana Resort. The fare was fixed when we booked, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning.
Tras el crucero, mi pareja y yo no queríamos arriesgar un transporte en la terminal, así que coordinamos un auto privado a Sheraton Vistana Resort. Llegar a Sheraton Vistana Resort sin vueltas significó que pudimos hacer el check-in y por fin darnos una ducha tras la semana en el mar.
Descemos do navio cansados mas felizes e um carro privativo direto até Sheraton Vistana Resort foi a decisão certa. Uma passagem fácil e confortável para nós dois — do navio até Sheraton Vistana Resort sem nada para resolver. O van estava com espaço de sobra para toda a bagagem do cruzeiro, um alívio no calor de Miami.
