From $630 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hilton Garden Inn At Apopka City Center in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
The Hilton Garden Inn At Apopka City Center is a purpose-built hotel set at Apopka City Center, in the city of Apopka on Central Florida’s mainland. It carries the familiar Hilton Garden Inn name, which means a consistent, dependable address to check into once your cruise is behind you. For a traveler stepping off a ship on the coast, it is the fixed point at the end of a long inland run — a place to drop the bags, breathe, and let the journey settle.
Its location in Apopka puts you well inland from the port, on the northwest side of the greater Orlando region rather than down by the water. That distance is exactly why a booked private ride earns its keep: the destination is a real drive away, and having one vehicle carry your group the whole distance keeps the day simple. You go directly there, with no detours and no shuffling between rides, so the address you booked is the address where the run actually ends.
On arrival, the experience is meant to be quiet and simple. Your driver pulls up to the front entrance of the Hilton Garden Inn At Apopka City Center and hands the group off at the door, with luggage carried from the vehicle to the curb beside you. Anything about the stay itself — the room, the check-in, the property’s own details — lives on the hotel’s official page; getting you there safely from the ship is our part of the journey.
This is a door-to-door private run from the PortMiami cruise terminal to the Hilton Garden Inn At Apopka City Center, covering about 249.1 miles along Florida’s Turnpike. The journey normally takes between 245 and 254 minutes, so it is a genuine long-haul drive rather than a swift hop — one more reason to have a single vehicle and a single driver handle the whole thing. Your group travels together, at your own pace, with the departure timed to when you actually clear the terminal.
Once you disembark, the driver is organized by message as you exit and meets your group at the curb by your ship’s terminal. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, and from there it is a direct run north to Apopka with no shared stops. When you reach the hotel, the driver brings you to the front entrance and sets the luggage down beside you, closing out the day at the exact door you booked.
