From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Jaward HOTEL in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Jaward HOTEL sits in Kissimmee, the classic value base for Central Florida’s theme parks. This is the US-192 corridor, the long strip of vacation homes, family attractions, and simple stays that keeps the parks within a short reach while giving your group room to spread out and settle in between days out.
The neighborhood around the hotel leans toward families and cruise travelers who desire a practical base rather than a hectic resort core. Old Town Kissimmee and its carnival strip are close by, along with the gator attractions the area is known for, so there is ample to fill the hours that are not spent at the parks. Vacation-home rentals sit alongside hotels here, and the whole corridor is built around visitors coming and going with luggage in tow.
When your car pulls up, look for your driver at the main entrance rather than a distant lot. Bags come out of the vehicle and go with you to the door, so there is no dragging suitcases across a parking area after a long trip north. If you stay on after your ride, Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway runs right through the area, and Lake Tohopekaliga and Gatorland are both nearby in Kissimmee for an unhurried day close to the hotel. It is a simple landing point after a day at sea, with the practical things—parking, food, and the parks—all within the same familiar stretch of road.
This is a true door-to-door trip. Once your ship clears and your group walks off, the driver is organized by message and meets you curbside at your own terminal, not a parking lot. Your luggage goes into the vehicle for you, and the whole party rides together in one reserved car straight to the hotel entrance. No taxi line, no waiting on an app—the pickup is planned around your arrival, so the driver is staged and ready when you come out.
The route runs north along Florida’s Turnpike, covering roughly 224.5 miles from the port to Jaward HOTEL. The drive normally takes about 230 to 239 minutes, depending on how the road is moving that day. It is a genuine road trip, which is exactly when a private vehicle earns its place—your own climate, space to stretch out, and stops only when you ask for them. When you reach Kissimmee, the driver brings the car to the main entrance and carries your bags to the curb beside you.
