From $590 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Solara Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Solara Resort sits south of Disney, in the stretch of the Kissimmee area where the Irlo Bronson Highway runs past one resort and pool-home community after another. It is a resort address rather than a downtown one, the kind of place families point to after a cruise when the plan is a few days of space, a pool, and room to spread out. The setting is central Florida vacation country, close to the parks yet its own quiet corner off the highway.
What you find on arrival is a property built around the practical side of a family stay. The hotel end handles the things that matter after a long travel day — on-site amenities, somewhere to hold your luggage, and early check-in when it can be arranged — all confirmed through Solara Resort’s own official page. Your driver brings you to the main entrance, luggage and all, so the first thing you do here is walk in the door rather than sort out the last mile from a drop-off point somewhere else.
The area around it rewards a group that wants both the parks and a little breathing room. Nearby, Lake Toho draws people out for its airboats, and the resorts and pool homes along the Irlo Bronson Highway keep everything within easy reach. For a cruise party heading straight from the ship, Solara Resort works as a single, clear destination — one address, one arrival — at the end of a long run north from the coast.
The ride begins the moment you clear the ship. After disembarkation at your terminal on Dodge Island, your chauffeur meets you at the port, takes the bags, and loads them into the vehicle that stays yours alone for the trip. From the pier it is one continuous run — about 219.3 miles along Florida’s Turnpike — pointed north toward Solara Resort, with no shared stops and no strangers along for the ride.
Plan on roughly 228 to 237 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and the traffic on the Turnpike, which is the only real variable on a route this straight. Because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, a slow gangway does not cost you the car. Your luggage rides with you the whole way, and the driver hands you off at the main entrance of Solara Resort.
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.
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.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
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.
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.
Getting off the ship on my own, I had a driver waiting at the terminal for the ride to Solara Resort — no scramble at the port.
For an easy disembarkation, my wife and I had a private driver waiting for us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Solara Resort. The last thing you want after a week at sea is a ride that falls through, and this was rock solid. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Solara Resort, it was well worth it.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Solara Resort made the morning easy.
Auto limpio, recogida fácil, y un conductor que manejó la terminal como un experto. Recomendado. El auto estaba limpio, fresco y cómodo, un alivio con el calor de Miami.
The eight of us came off the ship together and booked one private van from the cruise terminal to Solara Resort. The ride from the terminal to Solara Resort was easy the whole way, and we could just watch the city go by. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
