From $600 per vehicle: private one-way ride, Port of Miami to Baymont by Wyndham International Drive Universal Boulevard.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Baymont by Wyndham International Drive Universal Boulevard sits on Orlando’s International Drive, the long, hotel-lined boulevard that gathers the city’s biggest attractions along a single stretch. It is a practical base for a theme-park journey, close to the action yet set on a corridor built for easy in-and-out. When your ride pulls up to the door, you step straight into the middle of I-Drive rather than somewhere on the far edge of town.
What makes this address useful is what surrounds it. ICON Park and its towering observation wheel are within easy reach, and the Orange County Convention Center sits neighboring for anyone in town on business. SeaWorld Orlando is close as well, and the Orlando International Premium Outlets put a full day of shopping a short hop away. Universal, SeaWorld, ICON Park, and the convention center all thread along the same boulevard, so much of what people come to Orlando for lines up on one road.
For arrival day the layout is simple. You reach the hotel with your group intact, your luggage in the vehicle, and the whole of International Drive spread out around you. Details on the hotel side of things — amenities, luggage holds, early check-in — are handled on Baymont by Wyndham International Drive Universal Boulevard’s own official page. Our part is the ride that gets you there: one direct run to the door, no shuffling bags across a port, no waiting in a line. You clear the terminal and the next stop is your room.
This is a genuine road journey — roughly 232 miles from the pier, mostly one clean run up Florida’s Turnpike, and exactly the kind of distance where a private vehicle earns its keep. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal, timed to your ship’s actual arrival, so once you disembark and reach the curb the car is already there. Bags go straight into the vehicle, everyone climbs in, and you are on the road north without a shuttle line or a transfer.
Plan on about 230 to 239 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and how the Turnpike is moving. Traffic is the only real variable, which is why the pickup follows your ship rather than a slot cut to the minute. Along the way you have space to stretch, your own climate zone, and stops only when you ask for them. The ride ends at the door of Baymont by Wyndham International Drive Universal Boulevard, with the same assist getting your bags to the curb that you had at the start.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
