From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Comfort Inn & Suites Universal-Convention Center 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.
Comfort Inn & Suites Universal-Convention Center stands at 7495 Canada Avenue, Orlando, 32819, tucked into the International Drive corridor on the tourist-heavy south side of the city. It makes a practical base for cruise travelers extending their journey inland — close to the big-name attractions without sitting in the middle of them. The address also puts you a short reach from the Orange County Convention Center, a comfortable landing spot for anyone in town for a show or a trade event.
International Drive is the spine of this part of Orlando, a long, hotel-lined boulevard that strings together the region’s headline draws. From here you are near Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld Orlando, and ICON Park with its tall observation wheel, all set along the same stretch. That concentration is the appeal: you can settle into the hotel and reach a full week of theme-park mornings and evening outings without a long drive to any single one of them.
Arriving from the ship, you pull up to the door with the whole area laid out around you — the convention center, the parks, and the restaurants and shops that fill the nearby streets. Drop-off covers International Drive and the roads surrounding your stay, so the chauffeur brings you to the correct entrance rather than a general neighborhood. Whatever you have planned inland, this corner of Orlando keeps the parks and the convention floor within simple reach, and the hotel gives you a quiet place to return to at the end of each day.
The journey runs straight from PortMiami to Comfort Inn & Suites Universal-Convention Center as a single leg. Once you clear the terminal on disembarkation morning, your chauffeur is already staged at the curb — the wait is theirs, not yours. Your bags go into the vehicle, loaded right at the terminal, and the route heads north on Florida’s Turnpike toward Orlando with no shared stops and no detours along the way.
Plan on roughly 232 miles, terminal to door, which works out to about 231 to 240 minutes depending on traffic. It is a genuine road journey, and that is where a private vehicle earns its place: your own space, your own climate, and stops only when you ask for them. The chauffeur handles the driving and the typical tolls, brings you to the correct entrance along International Drive, and helps with every bag from curb to door.

Good driver. All good. Helpful with bags.
sem problemas. mais organizado que o rideshare, sinceramente pousamos às 23h e o carro já tava lá.
Descemos do navio com as crianças prontos para um cochilo, e uma van privativa ali no terminal deixou a viagem até Comfort Inn & Suites Universal-Convention Center um passeio. Tínhamos os dados do motorista com antecedência, então não havia o que adivinhar no porto. A tarifa estava combinada antes, exatamente o que foi combinado.
First time cruising solo out of PortMiami, and having a private car there the second I walked out for the trip to Comfort Inn & Suites Universal-Convention Center could not have been smoother. Booking was easy, I got a solid confirmation, and everything matched what I was told. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
My wife and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Comfort Inn & Suites Universal-Convention Center. The ride from the terminal to Comfort Inn & Suites Universal-Convention Center was easy the whole way, and we could just unwind after the cruise.
