From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Metropolitan Resort Orlando 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.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Metropolitan Resort Orlando sits along International Drive, the long tourist corridor that runs through the heart of Orlando’s visitor district. Locals simply call it I-Drive, and it lines up attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center from one end to the other. Staying here puts you in the middle of that activity, with the resort set among the shops, dining, and entertainment that give this part of the city its steady energy.
The location keeps the big names close. Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park are both within easy reach of the property, so a day at the theme parks or an evening at the observation wheel takes only a short hop. SeaWorld Orlando and the Orange County Convention Center are neighboring as well, both anchored to the same International Drive corridor. For families off a cruise and for business travelers alike, that clustering means less time crossing town and more time actually at the places you came to see.
When your chauffeur pulls in, you are set down along I-Drive or on whichever street your lodging faces, so you land at the door of your destination rather than a distant lot. Full luggage assist comes with the journey, and the bags move from the vehicle to the curb without you lifting them after a long day of journey. Whether Metropolitan Resort Orlando is your base for the parks, the convention center, or a few quiet days between sailings, you arrive settled and ready, with the whole tourist district spread out around you.
The journey runs door to door. Your chauffeur is coordinated by message as you clear the terminal hall and meets your group right at the curb on Dodge Island, not out in a parking lot. The bags go straight into the vehicle, and because the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival, there is room built in if customs runs slow. One group rides per vehicle, so the car that meets you is yours alone the whole way north.
From the port, the chauffeur takes Florida’s Turnpike and holds it for a single, direct leg to Metropolitan Resort Orlando. The route covers about 232.2 miles and normally runs 231 to 241 minutes, with traffic on the Turnpike the main thing that can shift the timing. You settle into a climate-controlled vehicle for the drive and step out at your stay on International Drive, the luggage handled at both ends.
From the Port of Miami, plan on about 3 hours 48 minutes and 232.4 miles to reach Metropolitan Resort Orlando via Florida’s Turnpike. Prices are per vehicle, not per seat: $600 for the Black SUV, $850 for the Van, $1050 for the Van XL. Pickup is at your cruise terminal curb at PortMiami.

Every policy in full: FAQ
Coordinamos una sola van para la comitiva entera de la terminal a Metropolitan Resort Orlando para que nadie se quedara atrás. El conductor cargó todas nuestras maletas del crucero para que no tuviéramos que batallar con todo.
Mi esposo y yo bajamos por la pasarela en PortMiami y había un auto privado ahí mismo para nosotros para llevarnos a Metropolitan Resort Orlando. Había una ventana de cortesía desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para pasar la aduana.
My wife and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Metropolitan Resort Orlando before we even sailed. We were dropped at the entrance of Metropolitan Resort Orlando, not down the block. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was nothing to figure out on the way out.
Our family of four came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver helped with the whole pile of luggage for the ride to Metropolitan Resort Orlando. There was a sign with our name at the exit, so we didn’t have to look around.
Getting a big group off the ship and over to Metropolitan Resort Orlando is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van made it effortless. The driver handled the suitcases so we didn’t have to struggle with anything.
