From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Flamingo Express Hotel 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Flamingo Express Hotel sits along US-192 / East Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway in Kissimmee, the long value corridor that families lean on when they desire the theme-park side of Central Florida without paying for a room inside the gates. The address is 2265 East Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, right on the strip where vacation homes, roadside diners, and the gator attractions all sit within simple reach of Disney.
Step outside and the neighborhood tells you where you are. Old Town Kissimmee, with its carnival strip and classic-car nights, is close by, and Gatorland keeps the old-Florida roadside spirit alive just up the road. The Kissimmee Lakefront gives you open water and a slower pace when the parks have worn everyone out. It is the kind of base that puts you minutes from the large attractions while keeping the calmer, more local corner of Kissimmee at your door.
For a cruise traveler this makes a clean handoff. You come off the ship with your bags and your plans already pointed toward the parks, and the hotel drops you straight onto the corridor that connects to all of it. For rooms, parking, and check-in details the property itself is the place to ask, since those change and belong to the hotel. What matters for the ride is simple: one destination, one direct address on US-192, and a corner of Kissimmee built for exactly the kind of arrival a cruise week ends with.
This is a genuine road journey north from the coast, and that is precisely where a private vehicle earns its place. Your chauffeur meets you at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, loads every bag at the curb, and points the car toward Kissimmee as a single direct leg. There is no shared van to fill and no luggage-drag across the port. The pickup is staged around your ship’s actual arrival, with room to spare, rather than a slot cut to the minute.
From there it is one straight run to the door of Flamingo Express Hotel on US-192. Your bags stay in the vehicle the whole way, the group travels together, and the chauffeur handles the route so you can settle in. If a stop comes up along the way, you ask and it happens; the car is yours alone from the terminal curb to the hotel entrance.

Minha esposa e eu terminamos um cruzeiro ótimo e rematamos com um carro privativo esperando no terminal para nos levar até Flamingo Express Hotel — sem confusão no porto. A última coisa que se quer depois de uma semana no mar é uma viagem que não acontece, e esta foi totalmente sólida.
Getting a big group off the ship and over to Flamingo Express Hotel is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out. The ride from the terminal to Flamingo Express Hotel was easy the whole way, and we could just watch the city go by.
Easiest disembarkation I’ve had — met right at the terminal, luggage sorted, straight to the door of Flamingo Express Hotel. Getting off the ship on my own, I felt in good hands from the terminal all the way to the door of Flamingo Express Hotel.
With kids in tow, arranging a private car from the port to Flamingo Express Hotel meant no scramble on disembarkation morning. The child seat was ready when we got in, which was a real help that morning.
Coordinamos una sola van para la comitiva entera de la terminal a Flamingo Express Hotel para que hiciéramos el check-in todos juntos.
