From $620 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Regal Palms Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
Regal Palms Resort sits in the Davenport and Clermont area, the belt of vacation-home communities spread southwest of Disney. This is Orlando’s rental-home country: gated neighborhoods of pool homes and golf, with the lake hills of Clermont rising to the north. It lies roughly 243.8 miles by road from Port of Miami, so reaching it from the cruise terminal is a genuine cross-state drive rather than a quick hop, which is exactly why a private vehicle timed to your ship makes the difference.
The resort works as a home base for families who desire space to spread out between park days and quiet time. Once your chauffeur pulls up to the property, the bags come off the vehicle at the door and your day settles into vacation pace. From here the rest of the region is close at hand, so you can plan outings without long transfers eating into your stay.
Several familiar names sit within easy reach. ChampionsGate and Reunion Resort are both nearby, handy for golf or a change of scene, while the Clermont chain of lakes offers water and open country to the north. Posner Park rounds out the practical side of the area for shopping and a meal out. It all keeps the Davenport and Clermont area easy to explore on your own schedule, and your driver knows the roads that connect these stops, so getting settled and getting around both stay simple.
The run normally takes 247 to 257 minutes for the 243.8-mile route, quiet hours to rush hour. Your chauffeur is staged at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, timed to disembarkation, so the driver is already there when you clear the hall rather than the other way around. The bags go straight from the terminal curb into the vehicle, and the trip runs as one direct leg up Florida’s Turnpike to the resort door.
Because this is a long drive across the state, the private vehicle earns its place: room to stretch out after a cruise, your own climate control, and stops only when you ask for them. There is an hour of free waiting built in at the port, so customs lines never cost you the ride within that time. From pickup to drop-off the vehicle is yours alone, terminal to door, with no pooled stops along the way.

Worth every cent. tried Uber on the way down, this was the better call, and even with traffic the route was sensible.
After a week at sea I just wanted nothing left to think about, so a private car from the port to Regal Palms Resort made the morning simple. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Regal Palms Resort, it was absolutely worth booking.
For a stress-free morning off the ship, my husband and I had a private driver meet us at the cruise terminal to run us over to Regal Palms Resort. Booking was quick, we got clear pickup details, and everything lined up perfectly. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so we never had to rush through customs.
Mi esposa y yo salimos del barco en PortMiami y había un auto privado listo en la terminal para llevarnos a Regal Palms Resort. El van estaba con espacio de sobra para todo el equipaje del crucero, con lugar para todo. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue justo cuando lo necesitamos.
Como cruzeirista sozinho, deixei pronto um traslado privativo do PortMiami até Regal Palms Resort para a manhã do desembarque, e tirou toda a incerteza. O motorista me deixou bem na porta de Regal Palms Resort, e não numa esquina com as malas.
