From $605 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to High Palms Hotel 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.
High Palms Hotel sits in the Davenport and Clermont area, the stretch of central Florida that has become Orlando’s vacation-home belt. This is the country southwest of Disney, where gated pool-home resorts and golf courses spread across the flat land near Davenport and ChampionsGate, and the ground begins to rise into Clermont’s lake hills a little farther north. It is a part of Florida built around the theme parks yet quieter than the tourist corridors, with room to breathe between the resorts.
The setting gives you more than a room to sleep in between park days. Reunion Resort and its golf are within easy reach of the property, and the Clermont chain of lakes lies close by for anyone who wants water and open air instead of another queue. Lake Louisa State Park offers trails and shoreline a short drive out, while Posner Park keeps shopping and dining nearby when you would rather stay close. The Davenport & Clermont area rewards travelers who plan a few extra days around the stay.
Because everything here spreads across a wide belt of resort neighborhoods rather than a single downtown, having your own vehicle waiting when you step off the ship changes the shape of the day. You arrive at High Palms Hotel together, on your own schedule, with the bags carried to the entrance and no shared stops to slow the group down. If you are planning outings to the lakes or the parks once you settle in, message us and we can fold those legs into the same booking thread.
This is a genuine road journey rather than a swift hop, and that is exactly when a private vehicle earns its place. The route follows Florida’s Turnpike for roughly 237.4 miles, and the drive normally runs 243 to 252 minutes depending on traffic and the hour. Your chauffeur meets you at the terminal after disembarkation, organized by message as you walk off the ship, so there is no scramble to find a car in the crowd. From there it is a straight run to High Palms Hotel with your luggage stowed in the vehicle beside you.
The vehicle is reserved for your group alone from pickup to drop-off, which means space to stretch out, your own climate, and stops only when you ask for them. Traffic on the Turnpike is really the only variable on this leg, so the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute. At the hotel, the driver brings the bags to the entrance and hands the group off at the door.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.

Iba de crucero por mi cuenta y reservé un auto privado para que me esperara en la acera de la terminal al bajar del barco y llevarme hasta High Palms Hotel.
