From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Comfort Suites Universal Studios Area in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Comfort Suites Universal Studios Area sits in the heart of Orlando’s tourist corridor, along International Drive. Locals just call it I-Drive, and it is the city’s main artery for visitors — attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center lined up end to end. The hotel puts you in the middle of that stretch, close to the Universal Studios region that gives it its name, so the parks and the shopping are part of the same neighborhood rather than a separate journey across town.
Because the hotel keeps its own front desk, that is where the details of your stay live — room amenities, luggage holds, and early check-in are all handled on the Comfort Suites side. We focus on getting your group there in one clean run and setting you down at the door, so you can walk straight into the lobby and start your check-in without a detour or a second leg to sort out.
When your ride pulls up, the drop-off is simple: your driver brings the vehicle to the main entrance, unloads your bags at the curb beside you, and points you toward the doors. After a long day of journey from the coast, arriving right at the front of the building — rather than a distant lot or a curb down the block — is the small thing that makes the end of the journey feel simple. From here, I-Drive’s restaurants and shops are right outside, and the parks are close enough to plan around the moment you drop your luggage.
After you clear the ship and step off at the Port of Miami, the plan is already set. You send a swift message as you walk off the gangway, and your driver coordinates the meet at the exact terminal your cruise line uses. There is no searching a crowded lot — the vehicle is reserved for your group alone, your bags go straight into it, and the driver handles the loading while you catch your breath from disembarkation.
From there it is one continuous run north to Comfort Suites Universal Studios Area, with no shared stops and no strangers along for the ride. Gas and typical tolls are already inside the flat rate, so nothing changes at the end. When you reach the hotel, look for your driver at the main entrance, where the bags come out to the curb beside you and your group heads straight for the lobby.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
