From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Banyan Hotel & MicroSuites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Banyan Hotel & MicroSuites sits at 5565 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy, right on the long resort corridor that runs through Kissimmee south of Disney. This is US-192, the Irlo Bronson Highway, and the address puts you on one of Central Florida’s busiest vacation strips — a stretch lined with hotels, restaurants, and the pool-home communities that fill up when the parks are in season. The MicroSuites name points to the format: compact, self-contained rooms built for travelers who desire a practical base near the action rather than a sprawling property.
What makes the location work is how much sits within simple reach. Old Town Kissimmee, a walkable district of shops and classic-car gatherings, is part of the same US-192 scene, so there is somewhere to wander once you have dropped your bags. The highway itself is the connective tissue of the region, feeding into the resort communities on either side and keeping the theme parks a short hop north.
For anyone who wants a break from the manufactured attractions, the real Florida is close too. Lake Tohopekaliga — Lake Toho to locals — is known for its airboat rides across open marsh, and Gatorland, the classic Kissimmee wildlife park, is another nearby draw. Between the resort strip, the lake, and the parks a little farther out, Banyan Hotel & MicroSuites gives you a central spot to settle into after a long transfer, with ample to fill the days that follow.
Your chauffeur meets your group curbside at your own cruise terminal, not out in a parking lot, and loads the luggage there so you never have to drag bags across the port. From the terminal it is one direct leg up Florida’s Turnpike — roughly 229.6 miles, about 228 to 237 minutes depending on traffic — to the door at Banyan Hotel & MicroSuites. It is your vehicle and your group the whole way, with the pace, the stops, and the climate set to suit you.
The pickup is staged around your ship’s actual arrival, organized by message as you walk off, so a slow gangway or a long customs line does not cost you the ride. At the hotel end, the driver brings you right to the main entrance on the US-192 strip and helps with the bags again, so the journey ends the same simple way it began.
