From $625 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hampton Inn & Suites Clermont in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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.
Hampton Inn & Suites Clermont is a hotel set in Clermont, inland from the coast in Central Florida. For travelers stepping off a ship, it makes a calm, familiar base to settle into after a long day of unpacking the cruise and heading north. The property sits well away from the port itself, which is exactly why a booked ride matters: you know the address, the driver knows the address, and the whole run ends at one door.
Clermont puts you in the middle of Central Florida rather than on the shoreline, and that inland position is what shapes the trip. The route from the pier climbs roughly 246 miles along Florida’s Turnpike before it reaches the hotel, so this is a genuine cross-state drive, not a swift hop. Choosing a place like Hampton Inn & Suites Clermont means the last leg of your journey day finishes at a proper resting point, with your luggage carried in with you rather than wrestled through a public terminal.
On arrival, the handoff is meant to feel simple. Your chauffeur pulls up to the main entrance, helps with every bag from the vehicle to the lobby, and leaves you at the door with nothing left to coordinate. Because the vehicle is reserved for your party alone for the full run, there are no other stops and no shared pickups between the port and the hotel. You obtain out where you are staying, bags in hand, and the ride is done.
The trip runs one clean line from your ship’s terminal to Hampton Inn & Suites Clermont, covering about 246.3 miles in roughly 244 to 253 minutes depending on the hour, mostly along Florida’s Turnpike. Your chauffeur is coordinated by message as you clear the disembarkation hall and meets your group right at the curb, so there is no hunting for a pickup point after you walk off. Every bag rides inside the vehicle with you, and the car is yours alone for the whole run north.
Because port mornings move slowly, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, with a courtesy wait window built in at the terminal. Once everyone is loaded, it is a straight run with no added stops, ending at the hotel’s main entrance where the driver helps carry your luggage from the curb into the lobby.
