From $610 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Preferred Guest Resorts in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Preferred Guest Resorts sits in the Orlando area, at the far end of a long run north from the coast. This is not a swift hop across town — it is a genuine road journey inland, which is exactly the stretch where having your own vehicle earns its keep. When you finally reach the property, the driver takes you straight to the door of your stay rather than dropping you at a distant lot to sort out the last leg yourself.
The address places you close to the real city of Orlando, the one that lives beyond the theme parks. Lake Eola Park anchors downtown, its resident swans gliding on the water within simple reach of the stay. A short way out, Winter Park’s Park Avenue lines up its boutiques and sidewalk cafes, and the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum keeps its celebrated collection nearby. For evenings out, the Kia Center hosts arena nights that draw crowds from across the region.
All of it means you can settle in and still have a proper city on your doorstep, not just a cluster of gates and turnstiles. Once you arrive, your group steps out together at the entrance, bags and all, with no shared stops made along the way and no other passengers to wait on. The route in follows Florida’s Turnpike for the bulk of the journey, so the drive is steady rather than a maze of local roads, and you finish the day right where you are staying.
The journey is one continuous run of roughly 239.6 miles from the pier to the property, following Florida’s Turnpike for the length of the drive. Plan on about 236 to 244 minutes in the vehicle, adjusted for the day’s traffic. Your bags ride with you the whole way, loaded once at the curb and unloaded at the door of your stay, so there is no repacking or transferring mid-journey. The car belongs to your party alone, door to door, with stops made only when you ask for them.
After you disembark, the driver is coordinated by message as you clear the terminal and meets your group at the curb by your ship’s own hall. Tell us the cruise line and arrival date and the vehicle is staged for the morning, whether you walk off early with your own bags or come later with checked luggage. A courtesy wait window is built in at the port, so the pace of customs never costs you the ride within that time.

Tras una semana a bordo, mi esposa y yo no queríamos andar buscando un transporte en la terminal, así que reservamos un auto privado a Preferred Guest Resorts. Ya guardamos el contacto para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami. Sin recorrer un estacionamiento — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
My wife and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was waiting at the terminal curb to take us to Preferred Guest Resorts. The van was spotless, and the AC was perfect after the ship. We went from the terminal to a real bed with zero hassle along the way. No stress at all.
Cruising with the kids, we wanted the port end handled, so a private van straight over to Preferred Guest Resorts was perfect. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Preferred Guest Resorts, it was absolutely worth booking. The child seat was ready when we got in, which was one less thing to worry about.
Bajamos del barco con los niños listos para una siesta, y una van privada ahí en la terminal hizo el viaje a Preferred Guest Resorts muy fácil. Sin pelear con una app — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. Los niños durmieron todo el camino, y llegar directo a Preferred Guest Resorts sin correr en el puerto fue un alivio. Hizo el desembarque facilísimo.
