From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Claremont Kissimmee Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Claremont Kissimmee Hotel stands at 6051 West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway in Kissimmee, 34747, on the long resort corridor that locals call US-192. This is the stretch south of the Disney region, where the highway threads past a run of hotels, pool-home communities, and the kind of family lodging that fills up on cruise-and-park weeks. Your drop-off is right at the entrance, and the ride covers Kissimmee and the streets immediately around your stay, so you step out where you are actually sleeping rather than at some distant lot.
The neighborhood is easy to get your bearings in. Old Town Kissimmee sits close by along the same highway, an easy landmark for pointing a taxi or a rental toward later in the trip. If you build in a day before or after the cruise, this part of central Florida keeps its own draws separate from the theme parks: Lake Tohopekaliga — Lake Toho for short — puts airboat rides within reach, and Gatorland is another Kissimmee stop that families tend to fold into a slower afternoon.
What makes the hotel a sensible base is its position on the Irlo Bronson corridor itself. Everything runs along one spine, which means the driver reaches your door without weaving through unfamiliar side streets, and you land somewhere that keeps the parks, the lake, and the local Kissimmee sights all within a short hop. It is a practical place to end a long transfer day and an easy one to explore from once you have settled in.
This is a door-to-door run from your cruise terminal at the Port of Miami straight to the entrance of Claremont Kissimmee Hotel, with no shared stops along the way. Once your group clears the terminal, the driver is waiting curbside, loads the luggage into the vehicle, and pulls out for the drive north. Bags stay with you the entire time, carried from the curb at the port to the curb at the hotel, so nobody is dragging suitcases across a parking lot at either end.
The route follows Florida’s Turnpike for roughly 229.9 miles, and you should plan on 228 to 237 minutes depending on the hour you leave. Cruise mornings can be busy at the port, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guessed clock. From there it is one continuous ride to Kissimmee, group only, with the fare locked in when you book.

Every policy in full: FAQ
After our cruise, my wife and I didn’t feel like chasing a ride at the terminal, so we pre-booked a private car to Claremont Kissimmee Hotel. There was a thirty-minute cushion from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship.
A few friends and I came off the ship together and booked one private van from the port to Claremont Kissimmee Hotel. Booking was easy, we got clear pickup details, and everything lined up perfectly. We went from the terminal to a real bed with zero hassle along the way.
Our family of six came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver helped with the whole pile of luggage for the ride to Claremont Kissimmee Hotel. The kids were done after a week at sea, and getting straight to Claremont Kissimmee Hotel without a scramble at the port was a relief.
Descemos do navio com as crianças e uma montanha de malas, e uma van privativa esperando no porto deixou a viagem até Claremont Kissimmee Hotel bem fácil. Havia uma placa com o nosso nome na saída, então achamos o motorista sem procurar nada.
The group of us walked off at once and it was a relief to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to Claremont Kissimmee Hotel — nobody splitting up. It was a private car for our party alone — nobody else to wait on — so much nicer than piling in with strangers. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
