From $620 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hotel Elite Altamonte Springs (Orlando) 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.
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.
Hotel Elite Altamonte Springs sits in the Orlando region, which makes it a natural landing spot for cruise travelers who desire a few days inland once the ship is behind them. Orlando is more than its parks, and a stay here puts you within reach of a real downtown as well as the quieter corners around it. The hotel is your address for the ride; the terminal on Dodge Island is where the journey begins.
Step outside and Orlando opens up in every direction. Downtown, Lake Eola Park draws walkers to its lakeside path and its resident swans, and arena nights at the Kia Center keep the calendar full. Art lovers can spend an afternoon at the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum, and the boutiques along Park Avenue give the region a slower, browse-worthy pace. None of it is far once you have a base to return to at the end of the day.
Anything about the stay itself — rooms, hours, on-site details — lives on the hotel’s own page; our part is the road between the port and the door. For groups sailing together, one coordinated pickup beats juggling a dozen separate arrivals: a single vehicle, a single invoice, and one arrival time that everyone shares. Whether you are here for a long weekend or a full week of Orlando, the arrival is handled the moment you book, so the journey inland is the simple part of the day.
Book before you dock and disembarkation turns simple. Your reserved black car meets you at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, the chauffeur loads every bag at the curb, and the vehicle heads north on Florida’s Turnpike in one direct leg to Hotel Elite Altamonte Springs. There are no stops along the way and no shared seating — the vehicle belongs to your party alone, door to door.
Plan on roughly 242 to 250 minutes on the road, depending on the hour, across more than 230 miles between the port and your Orlando address. Ships rarely clear everyone at the same minute, so the pickup is timed to your actual arrival, with a 60-minute wait built in to cover customs and the luggage hall. You walk out, the car is there, and the drive inland begins. Tolls and fuel are already in the price.
