From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Drury universal hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
The Drury universal hotel sits in the Orlando region, the part of Central Florida built around its famous theme parks and the steady rhythm of vacationers coming and going. For cruise travelers stepping off a ship at the Port of Miami, it makes a natural landing spot: a place to unpack, rest, and shift gears from sea days to the pace of a park-side stay. Your driver brings you right to the property, so the first thing you handle on arrival is your room key, not a map.
When you pull up, look for your chauffeur at the main entrance, where the drop-off is straightforward and your bags come off with you rather than getting lost in a crowd. The hotel keeps you within easy reach of Orlando’s attractions and dining, which is exactly why so many groups pick a base like this one after a cruise. Families traveling together, friends extending a trip, and couples adding a few land days all find the location practical, with the parks and the wider city close at hand.
Because the ride is booked in advance at a flat, per-vehicle rate, the arrival is peaceful and predictable from the moment you leave the terminal. There is no meter climbing in traffic and no scramble for a car once you reach the property. You settle in, get your bearings, and start planning the rest of your stay. If you decide to see more of the region, the same private service can carry your group wherever the trip takes you next.
This is a door-to-door private transfer that begins at your ship’s own terminal at the Port of Miami and ends at the entrance of the Drury universal hotel. The route runs north along Florida’s Turnpike, covering roughly 217.5 miles and taking about 221 to 230 minutes depending on traffic and the hour you journey. Your luggage rides inside the same vehicle the whole way, and fuel and standard tolls are already part of the fare.
Pickup is organized by message as you walk off the ship, and a 60-minute courtesy wait window absorbs the slow shuffle down the gangway, so the car is ready when you are. From there your chauffeur handles the long stretch of highway while your group rides in a vehicle reserved for you alone. When you reach the hotel, your bags are carried to the curb beside you, and the trip ends where you are actually staying.
