From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Red Roof Inn Orlando Convention Center in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Red Roof Inn Orlando Convention Center puts you right on International Drive, the long tourist artery that runs through the heart of Orlando’s visitor district. This is the stretch where attractions, outlet malls, and the convention grounds sit stacked end to end, so a lot of what draws people to the city is already close once you step out of the car. If you are in town for a show or a meeting, the location does a good deal of the work for you.
The Orange County Convention Center is one of the anchors of this part of I-Drive, and the hotel takes its name from that neighborhood for good reason. Around it you will find the mix that defines the corridor: places to eat, places to shop, and the big-name draws that pull families in every season. It is a practical base for a trip built around convention business, and just as easy for a family that wants everything within reach.
The stay itself is not our department, but the ground around it is worth knowing before you book. Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park both sit within easy reach of the hotel, and SeaWorld Orlando is neighboring along the same International Drive line. That clustering is the point of this address: a single spot with the convention center, the parks, and the shopping all close at hand, so you spend your time enjoying Orlando rather than crossing it.
The trip is one clean run north out of the port. Your chauffeur is staged and waiting at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, so once your group clears the disembarkation hall you head straight to the curb, load the bags into the vehicle, and go. There is no shuffling between stops and no second pickup to slow you down. Luggage help is handled at both ends, and the whole party rides together in one vehicle reserved for you alone.
