From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Grand Village Resort Orlando in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Grand Village Resort Orlando sits along International Drive, the tourist corridor most visitors mean when they say they are staying near the parks. Locals call it I-Drive, and it runs as one long ribbon of attractions, outlet shopping, and the convention crowd, stacked close enough that much of what fills an Orlando journey lands within the same few streets. Arriving here puts you in the middle of that, rather than on the far edge of it, and it keeps the rest of the journey short-hop instead of a daily drive.
The area around the resort carries plenty for a first afternoon or a full week. Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park sit within the same district, and guests who base themselves here often work in SeaWorld Orlando as well. The Orange County Convention Center is close by too, which is part of why this stretch of Orlando stays busy year-round and keeps its restaurants, shops, and evening options within simple reach of the resort.
When the driver reaches Orlando, the drop-off covers International Drive and the streets that feed it, so you are set down at the resort itself instead of a distant transfer point. There is no walk from a far lot with your bags and no waiting in a line to move again. For a group coming straight off a ship, that last stretch matters: one address, handled by a driver who already knows the roads around your stay, with the whole party arriving together.
The ride begins the moment your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island. The driver is coordinated by message as you come out, meets you at the curb, and loads the luggage there, so the bags go into the vehicle once and stay put until Grand Village Resort Orlando. From the port the route runs up Florida’s Turnpike as a single leg — roughly 228.5 miles that normally takes 226 to 237 minutes, with Turnpike traffic the main thing that moves the number.
Because it is your vehicle alone, the day runs on your terms: you set when to leave once you are off the ship, and there are no other pickups or stops between the port and the resort. The pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, so the pace of customs and disembarkation never costs you the ride. It is one direct run north, door to door, with the same driver from the terminal curb to the resort entrance.
