From $615 per vehicle — a private, one-way ride from the Port of Miami to Eatonville, in a chauffeured black SUV or larger van.
The fare is flat and set per vehicle, so the whole party rides for a single locked number, with tolls and fuel already folded in.
Once your cruise clears customs at the Port of Miami, the driver is waiting curb-side at your terminal, name sign in hand whenever that is requested ahead of time by message. Luggage goes right into the vehicle, and the ride runs door to door to the Eatonville address you name — no shared vans, no pooled riders, and no other pickups along the way. Reserving at least 24 hours before the sail date keeps the pickup peaceful; a shorter request is looked at by hand, though same-day space is never promised. The driver tracks the ship, so a late docking merely moves the meeting to when travelers actually step off, and a booked pickup slot can move if plans change, given a day’s notice.
Eatonville sits in the Orlando metro of Central Florida, a small historic town widely noted as one of the earliest African American communities in the country to incorporate and govern its own affairs. The writer Zora Neale Hurston grew up here, and the place keeps her memory alive through a yearly arts festival and a museum built around her work. The streets read as a quiet residential grid rather than a resort strip, dotted with family-run eateries, churches, and the landmarks that carry the town’s heritage. Because it rests inside the wider Orlando area, the region’s better-known attractions stay within simple reach while the town holds a close-knit, unhurried feel of its own. Civic details and local resources live on the official Town of Eatonville website.
This is among the longer intercity hauls leaving the Miami cruise port — a real highway drive, not a quick trip across town, aimed at the Orlando area. How long it takes depends on the day: when several ships unload the same morning, the roads near the terminal bunch up, and northbound holiday-weekend traffic adds more time, while a peaceful off-peak departure leaves the port quickly. Because the haul is genuinely long-distance, a brief pause for a restroom or a bite can be worked into the route if it is requested beforehand. From there it runs straight through to the drop-off, with no mid-route swaps and no extra riders added to drag out the trip.
Yes — the vehicle carries only your group from the terminal to the drop-off, with no strangers and no pooling at any point. A black SUV holds up to five travelers, and larger parties move up to a van for six to nine or ten to fourteen. The flat rate locks the moment the booking is set, so a hectic morning or heavy traffic never changes the number agreed to.

Every policy in full: FAQ
After our sailing, my husband and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we arranged a private car to Eatonville. The meet-and-greet at the curb was included, and we didn’t have to search for anyone. Booking was easy, we got everything in writing, and everything lined up perfectly.
The easy way to handle PortMiami disembarkation. Would book again in a heartbeat. It was just our party in the car — nobody else to wait on — which was a relief after a week aboard.
My partner and I stepped off the ship at PortMiami and had a private car there for us to take us to Eatonville. The fare was the number we were quoted, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush to gather the bags.
Todo nuestro grupo bajamos del barco de una y fue un alivio tener una van privada esperando en la terminal para el viaje a Eatonville — todos en un solo vehículo.
O jeito sem estresse de resolver o desembarque no PortMiami. Recomendo muito. O motorista pôs toda a pilha de bagagem para não precisarmos fazer força.
