From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Embassy Suites Hotel I Drive 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.
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.
Embassy Suites Hotel I Drive sits along International Drive in Orlando, the long, hotel-lined boulevard that gives the address its name. The location puts you on one of the city’s busiest visitor corridors, a straight run of hotels, restaurants, and attractions rather than a quiet side street. For a group arriving after a cruise, it is a practical base: much of what the area is known for lines up along a single road, and the hotel sits right in the middle of it.
Step outside and the pull of International Drive is obvious. Universal Orlando Resort is close by, and ICON Park’s observation wheel rises over the boulevard within simple reach. SeaWorld Orlando is neighboring as well, and the Orange County Convention Center anchors the same stretch — handy if your journey mixes a little business with the theme parks. The concentration of things to do along this one avenue is part of why so numerous travelers choose to stay here.
Arriving as a group, you locate a spot built for exactly that. The area is used to families and larger parties coming off ships and flights, so the rhythm of check-in, luggage, and heading back out to the parks is familiar territory. Your driver brings you to the entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you, so the move from the vehicle to the lobby is a short one, and the rest of International Drive is waiting just past the door.
The journey from Port of Miami to Embassy Suites Hotel I Drive is a genuine road journey — roughly 230.1 miles that usually takes between 233 and 242 minutes by way of Florida’s Turnpike. Your driver follows that route north without shared stops, so the group stays together from the terminal to the hotel entrance in one straight run.
Because the drive is long, the pickup is staged around your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed minute, with room to spare for disembarkation. Once your party clears the terminal, the driver meets you at the curb, loads every bag into the vehicle, and heads for International Drive. Luggage rides with you the whole way, and the vehicle is reserved for your group alone — space to settle in for the long journey north.
