From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Red Roof Inn Orlando South – Florida Mall 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.
Red Roof Inn Orlando South – Florida Mall sits at 8296 South Orange Blossom Trail, on the southern edge of Orlando’s tourist corridor. The address places it within reach of International Drive, the strip most visitors use as their base for a Florida vacation. It’s a straightforward pick for travelers who want a room close to the action without paying to be in the middle of it.
International Drive — I-Drive to regulars — is the main tourist artery of the city. Attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center line up end to end along it, so a room in this region keeps the whole run of Orlando’s draws within an easy hop. From here, names like Universal Orlando Resort, ICON Park, SeaWorld Orlando, and the Orange County Convention Center all sit neighboring, which makes the property a practical landing spot whether your days center on theme parks, shopping, or a work event.
What you locate on arrival is a no-fuss base on South Orange Blossom Trail, handy to the shops and dining that cluster along this stretch. For the specifics that change person to person — room types, parking, check-in windows — the property’s own official page is the place to confirm, since those details belong to the hotel rather than the ride. Our part ends at the entrance: the driver pulls up to the door and carries the bags to the curb beside you, so the last leg of a long travel day is merely walking inside.
The trip runs terminal-to-door. Once your ship clears and your group walks out of the hall at Port of Miami, the driver is already staged at the curb, coordinated by message so there’s no wandering the terminal looking for a car. Bags go straight into the vehicle, everyone climbs in, and the run north begins — no transfers, no extra stops, the vehicle held for your group alone.

Plan on somewhere between 223 and 233 minutes, depending on the hour and the traffic on the road. The driver handles the tolls and the route while your group settles in, and the ride ends at the hotel entrance with the luggage carried to the curb.
