From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to AC Hotel Orlando Downtown in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
AC Hotel Orlando Downtown puts you in the heart of the city, and downtown Orlando turns out to be more than a launch pad for the parks. It is a genuine urban core, walkable and unhurried, where the pace slows the moment you step out of the lobby. The hotel sits among the streets that create the center of Orlando feel like a real place to linger rather than a stopover between rides.
Step outside and the city opens up rapidly. Lake Eola Park, with its resident swans, anchors the downtown blocks and gives you a green loop to stretch your legs after days at sea. When there is a game or a concert, the Kia Center fills the evening just a short way off. A little farther out, Winter Park rewards a slower morning: Park Avenue is lined with boutiques, and the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum keeps its own quiet corner of Orlando for anyone who wants art over rides.
That mix is the appeal of staying here. You can build your days around the large attractions if you like, or you can let downtown carry the journey on its own terms — a walk by the lake, an arena night, an afternoon among the shops. The hotel keeps you close to all of it while staying out of the crush. Anything about the rooms and the stay itself lives on AC Hotel Orlando Downtown’s official page; getting you here from the ship, cleanly and directly, is our part of the day.
This is a real road journey, and that is exactly when a private vehicle earns its place. Your driver is staged at your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island, timed to your actual arrival, so once your group clears the hall you walk straight to the curb. Bags go into the vehicle with a hand from the chauffeur, and the ride runs the length of Florida’s Turnpike from the port to the hotel entrance — one direct journey, no changing vehicles, no waiting in a line.
Plan on roughly 232 miles and about four hours on the road, give or take with traffic on the Turnpike. Because the pickup follows your ship rather than a fixed slot, the pace of customs never costs you the ride. You obtain room to stretch, your own climate, and stops only when you ask for them — then a drop at the door of AC Hotel Orlando Downtown with the bags carried to the curb beside you.

Última etapa de um dia longo sem complicação. Vou reservar com antecedência da próxima.
My husband and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to AC Hotel Orlando Downtown.
The kids were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to AC Hotel Orlando Downtown before anyone lost it. We knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal. No app to fight with — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there.
My partner and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to AC Hotel Orlando Downtown before we even sailed. We’ve already saved them for our next cruise out of PortMiami. The fare was fixed when we booked, nothing added at the curb.
We cruised as a group and wanted the whole group in one private ride to AC Hotel Orlando Downtown after disembarking. We had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal. The driver handled the suitcases so we didn’t have to lift a thing.
