From $610 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Rodeway Inn Davenport-Champions Gate 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Rodeway Inn Davenport-Champions Gate is a straightforward roadside hotel in Davenport, set on the west side of I-4 where the Orlando theme-park exits give way to open country. This is prime villa-rental territory, so the hotel makes an easy base for anyone who wants to be close to the parks without landing in the middle of the crowds. Anything about the rooms and the stay itself lives on the hotel’s own page; the ride to and from the ship is our part of the journey.
The location puts a good stretch of central Florida within short reach. ChampionsGate, with its golf resorts and rental communities, sits right neighboring, and the Clermont chain of lakes is close enough for a quiet afternoon on the water. Lake Louisa State Park gives you trails and shoreline when you desire the outdoors, while Posner Park covers the practical side with shopping and places to eat. It’s a corner of the Davenport area where the parks are minutes off and the quieter roads are right outside the door.
Arriving here after a cruise, you step out of the vehicle at the hotel entrance with your bags carried to the curb. The setting is peaceful and unhurried, which is exactly what you desire at the end of a long day of travel from the coast. From here the theme parks, the lakes, and the state parks are all short drives, so you can settle in first and plan the days that follow at your own pace.
The journey runs about 240 miles from the Port of Miami cruise terminals up to Rodeway Inn Davenport-Champions Gate, and the road takes roughly 239 to 248 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. Your chauffeur takes Florida’s Turnpike, so the whole run is one direct leg rather than a string of stops. When you come off the ship, the car is already staged for the terminal curb once your group clears the exit, and there’s 60 minutes of courtesy wait built in for the disembarkation crowd.
Everything happens door to door. The driver loads the luggage at the terminal, keeps it in the vehicle for the full ride, and unloads it at the hotel entrance in Davenport. The vehicle is yours alone, so you set the departure time and the pace. On a stretch this long, having your own car and a driver who knows the port turns the drive north into the easy part of the day.
