From $645 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Palace Inn of Clermont 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 desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Palace Inn of Clermont is the destination that closes out your cruise day — the address in Clermont where the driving stops and the journey finally settles. After a morning of disembarkation lines and luggage carts, it is the quiet endpoint waiting at the far end of the run from the ship, and the ride is planned to bring you straight to its door rather than to a curb somewhere neighboring.
The property sits in Clermont, part of Central Florida, well inland from the coast and the hectic port cities. That distance from the water is part of the appeal for travelers who desire a calmer base after a sailing, and it is also why the journey out is a genuine cross-state drive rather than a swift hop. Drop-off covers Clermont and the streets immediately around your stay, so wherever in the region the address falls, the vehicle reaches it directly.
Because your booking is one group per vehicle, arrival is on your own terms: the driver pulls up at the entrance, helps with every bag, and the vehicle heads to no other stops along the way. You step out at Palace Inn of Clermont with your luggage in hand and the long leg of the day already behind you. Tell us the property when you book and the drop is set for that exact address, timed to the morning you come off the ship.
From the cruise terminal on Dodge Island, the journey to Palace Inn of Clermont is a single run of about 256 miles along Florida’s Turnpike, and it commonly takes 247 to 257 minutes from the terminal curb to the hotel door. Your driver is timed to your ship’s arrival rather than to app availability, and waits through the customs and baggage crush so the vehicle is ready when you walk out.
Once you are aboard, everything stays in the one vehicle — your bags in the back, your group and no one else in the seats. There are no added pickups and no detours, just the straight drive north across the state. The chauffeur handles the luggage at both ends, and on a stretch this long you set the pace, the stops, and the quiet. The ride ends at the door of your stay.
