From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Grand Beach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Grand Beach Resort sits at 8317 Lake Bryan Beach Blvd, tucked into the Lake Bryan side of Orlando’s tourist corridor. After days at sea, it is a simple place to settle: your driver pulls up to the entrance, carries the bags to the door beside you, and you step straight into the part of Orlando where everything worth seeing is close by.
The location is the real draw. The resort sits near International Drive, the strip locals just call I-Drive, which is Orlando’s main tourist artery with attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center lined up end to end. From here you are a short reach from Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park, the towering wheel and entertainment complex that anchors the district. SeaWorld Orlando and the Orlando International Premium Outlets are close as well, so a theme-park morning and an afternoon of shopping can share the same day.
That mix is why cruise travelers pick this address over something deeper into the city. You are not fighting long crossings to reach the rides or the stores; the large names are gathered in one stretch, and the resort puts you at the center of it. Whether your group wants roller coasters, the marine parks, or a slow afternoon working through the outlet racks, the plans all start from the same front door. Arrive rested from the transfer, drop the luggage, and the rest of Orlando’s I-Drive is right there waiting for you.
The journey from the cruise terminal to Grand Beach Resort covers about 226.9 miles and commonly runs 223 to 233 minutes, terminal curb to hotel door, following Florida’s Turnpike most of the way. Your chauffeur is staged at the port and timed to your ship’s disembarkation, so when you clear the terminal the vehicle is already there. Pickup is curbside at your own terminal, not a distant parking lot, and the wait through customs lines is theirs, not yours.
Once the bags are loaded, the drive is a single clean run north. The luggage stays with you in the vehicle the whole way, and your driver handles it at both ends. Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat rate, so nothing is added along the road or on arrival. When you reach 8317 Lake Bryan Beach Blvd, the group is dropped at the entrance with the bags carried to the curb beside you, ready to check in and start the Orlando part of the journey.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.

Every policy in full: FAQ
I didn’t feel like chasing a ride the morning I disembarked, so I reserved a private car from the port to Grand Beach Resort. The car was spotless, and there was space for everything.
After our sailing, my husband and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we pre-booked a private car to Grand Beach Resort. We had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was no guessing at the port.
Cruising with the kids, we wanted the port end handled, so a private van waiting at the terminal Grand Beach Resort was worth every bit. Getting to Grand Beach Resort straight from the terminal meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
Cruising with the kids, we didn’t want any disembarkation-day chaos, so a private van straight over to Grand Beach Resort was worth every bit. The car was clean, cool, and comfortable, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
Cruising with the family, we didn’t want any disembarkation-day chaos, so a private van straight over to Grand Beach Resort was worth every bit. The child seat was set up before we even walked out, which was a real help that morning. The fare was locked in at booking, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning.
