From $605 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Serena Inn 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.
Serena Inn sits in the Davenport and Clermont area of Central Florida, roughly 238 road miles up from Port of Miami and well west of I-4’s Disney exits. It is the kind of address travelers choose when they want the theme-park corridor within reach but a little breathing room from the middle of it. After several days at sea, that puts you in a quieter pocket of the region rather than in the thick of the resort strip.
The surrounding neighborhood leans toward golf resorts and rental villas. ChampionsGate and Reunion Resort are the closest anchors, both a short drive away and both known for their courses and self-catering villas. The parks are minutes out, and the crowds mostly aren’t — this stretch west of the Disney exits fills with visitors who want the golf, the open space, and a simple hop back toward the attractions when they feel like it.
There is more to discover nearby if you stay on after the cruise. Lake Louisa State Park and Posner Park both sit within the Davenport and Clermont area, giving you green space and shopping without a long haul. Anything about the stay itself — the rooms, the check-in, what’s on site — lives on Serena Inn’s own page; our part is getting you there from the ship. We handle the road, and the hotel handles the welcome once your driver pulls up to the entrance and sets your bags down beside you.
This is a terminal-to-door ride. Your driver is staged at the cruise terminal before you clear the exit hall, so on a hectic disembarkation morning the wait is theirs, not yours. Pickup is curbside at your terminal — organized by message as you walk off — and an included 60-minute wait window absorbs a slow gangway. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, carried for you at both ends of the journey.
From the port the route follows Florida’s Turnpike for the 238-mile run north, and you should plan on roughly 246 to 255 minutes door to door, depending on the hour and the traffic. The vehicle is yours alone the whole way — you set the departure, the pace, and the stops — and your driver meets you again at the main entrance for the return leg whenever you book it.
From the Port of Miami, plan on about 4 hours 4 minutes and 238.5 miles to reach Serena Inn in Clermont via Florida’s Turnpike. Prices are per vehicle, not per seat: $605 for the Black SUV, $860 for the Van, $1065 for the Van XL. Pickup is at your cruise terminal curb at PortMiami.

Everything ran on time from the terminal curb to the front door of Serena Inn — exactly as promised.
My wife and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was right there for us to take us to Serena Inn. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — a relief after a week aboard. An easy, relaxed handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Serena Inn with nothing left to sort out.
After a long week at sea, having the ride already handled to Serena Inn was worth every bit.
After a week at sea I only wanted the ride handled, so a private car from the terminal to Serena Inn was money well spent. For a no-hassle way to get from the ship to Serena Inn, it was money well spent.
