From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Holiday Inn Express Orlando – South Park 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.
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.
Holiday Inn Express Orlando – South Park sits along the International Drive corridor, the strip most Orlando visitors know merely as I-Drive. That location puts your group in the middle of the action rather than out on the edge of town, which is exactly what you desire after a long ride up from the coast. When the vehicle turns off the highway and rolls toward the entrance, you are already where the day happens.
I-Drive is the city’s main tourist artery, with attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center lined up end to end. Staying here means those places are part of the same neighborhood as your room, so the walking, the shopping, and the sightseeing all start close to the front door. It is a practical base for families breaking up a cruise journey with a few Orlando days, and for anyone in town for a show or an event at the convention center.
On arrival the plan is simple. Your driver pulls up to the entrance and hands the bags down to the curb beside you, so no one is dragging luggage across a lot after hours on the road. From there it is a short walk to check in and settle. Because the transfer serves every address along International Drive, the drop is made right at Holiday Inn Express Orlando – South Park itself, not at some general stop neighboring, and the whole group steps out together in one place.
The journey begins right at the cruise terminal. Once your ship clears and you walk off, your driver is already staged and waiting, so there is no hunting around the pier with your bags. Luggage goes straight into the vehicle, the group climbs in, and you pull away as one party bound for a single destination. The route runs roughly 227.4 miles and takes about 226 to 235 minutes, following Florida’s Turnpike most of the way north.
Because the whole vehicle is yours, the pace of the drive is yours too. You set the departure once everyone is aboard, stop when the group needs to, and keep the ride quiet or lively as you like. Traffic on the Turnpike is really the only variable on a run this length, which is why the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare. At the far end the driver brings you all the way to the entrance of Holiday Inn Express Orlando – South Park and helps with the bags at the curb.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
