From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Howard Johnson Inn Airport Florida Mall in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Howard Johnson Inn Airport Florida Mall sits at 9396 South Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando, in the 32837 zip code, along the southern edge of the city’s tourist corridor. As the name signals, it keeps you close to the Florida Mall and within simple reach of the airport district, a practical base for anyone arriving after a cruise and pointing north toward the theme parks. The address puts you on one of Orlando’s main north-south routes, so reaching the property is straightforward once your driver leaves Florida’s Turnpike.
The bigger draw is how the hotel connects to International Drive, the long, hotel-lined boulevard that ties Orlando’s attractions together. From this part of town you are set up for the whole run of it: Universal, SeaWorld, ICON Park and its observation wheel, and the convention center all sit along that single stretch. We reach every address on International Drive, so if your Orlando plans start at the parks or the convention floor, the property keeps them a short hop away.
For a group stepping off a ship in Miami, the appeal is the clean handoff. One private vehicle carries your party and its cruise luggage the full distance and delivers everyone to the hotel entrance, bags brought to the door beside you. Tell us the ship and the arrival date and we stage the ride for that morning, so the transfer slots into the front end of your Orlando stay without a scramble for onward transport. The hotel’s spot near the Florida Mall and the International Drive attractions means the fun part of the journey is close by the moment you check in.
The ride begins at the cruise terminal, not a parking lot. After you clear disembarkation, your chauffeur is staged curbside at the Port of Miami, timed to your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare, and helps with every bag from the terminal to the vehicle. From there it is a single private run north, with no shared stops and no second pickup, the vehicle reserved for your party alone from the pier to the hotel door.
The route follows Florida’s Turnpike for roughly 225.2 miles, and terminal to door commonly takes about 222 to 232 minutes depending on the hour and traffic. Your luggage stays in the vehicle the whole way, and at Howard Johnson Inn Airport Florida Mall the driver pulls up to the entrance and carries the bags to the curb beside you. Because the pickup tracks your arrival rather than a fixed slot, an early or late walk-off still finds the car waiting.
