From $610 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Champions Gate Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select 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. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Champions Gate Resort sits in Orlando’s vacation-home belt, the broad stretch of Davenport and ChampionsGate that spreads out southwest of the Disney parks. This is golf country dotted with gated pool-home resorts, and to the north the land tips up into Clermont’s lake hills. If you are trading a cruise cabin for a few days of space, a private pool, and a kitchen of your own, this is the corner of Central Florida that pulls people in — close to the attractions, but far enough out to feel like its own quiet address.
Arrival here means the door of your stay, not a distant lot. Your drop-off covers the wider Davenport and Clermont region and the specific streets around Champions Gate Resort, so the vehicle pulls up where your key actually works rather than at a curb you then have to haul bags from. The property side of things — check-in timing, luggage holds, the amenities you reserved — belongs to the resort itself; the ride merely sets you and your luggage down at it, in one unbroken run rather than a chain of connections.
The setting rewards anyone who wants to keep moving after the parks. ChampionsGate and Reunion Resort sit close at hand, both leaning on golf and pool-home living, and the greener side of the region is a short reach away. The Clermont chain of lakes threads through the hills to the north, and Lake Louisa State Park gives you open water and quiet trails when the theme-park crowds start to wear. It is a base built for a slower kind of Florida, with the parks near enough to dip into on your own schedule.
From the moment you step off the ship at Port of Miami, the plan is one straight run north. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you clear the luggage hall, so the wait belongs to them rather than to you — you walk out and the vehicle is already there. Bags go in once, lobby to curb, and stay in the same vehicle the whole way to Champions Gate Resort.
The route follows Florida’s Turnpike for close to 239.6 miles, and door to door it runs roughly 243 to 265 minutes depending on how the traffic sits that day. It is a genuine road journey, which is exactly where a private vehicle earns its place: your own climate, room to stretch, and no stops unless you ask for one. One party, one car, straight to your address.

Minha esposa e eu tivemos uma viagem incrível e rematamos com um carro privativo pronto no meio-fio para nos levar até Champions Gate Resort — sem uma só preocupação no terminal. Uma passagem fácil e simples para nós dois — do navio até Champions Gate Resort sem nada para resolver. Para sair do navio e chegar a Champions Gate Resort de forma confiável, valeu muito a pena. Reservaria para o próximo cruzeiro.
The kids were running on empty when we walked off, and a private van already at the curb got everyone to Champions Gate Resort in one piece. The kids crashed in the car, and getting straight to Champions Gate Resort without a scramble at the port was perfect. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to juggle it all. Would book again for the next cruise.
My partner and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Champions Gate Resort before we even sailed. The car was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, and the AC was perfect after the ship. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
First time cruising on my own out of PortMiami, and having a private car there the second I walked out for the trip to Champions Gate Resort could not have been smoother. The fare was fixed when I booked, nothing added at the curb.
There were eight of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Champions Gate Resort was the smart move. Getting to Champions Gate Resort straight from the terminal meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
