From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Terra Verde Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Terra Verde Resort is a vacation community in Kissimmee, the town that spreads south of the Disney parks and gives Central Florida much of its lodging. It sits within the corridor built for visitors, where resorts and gated pool-home communities line the road one after another, so a stay here puts you among neighbors who have come for the same reason you have — a base close to the parks with room to spread out.
When your driver pulls in, the drop-off is at the resort’s own address, 109 Madiera Beach Blvd, so you are delivered to the door rather than a distant lot. Kissimmee runs along Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway, better known as US-192, the main artery that ties the region’s resorts, shops, and attractions together. From Terra Verde Resort you are set squarely on that line, with the practical run of restaurants and errands within simple reach and the theme parks a short drive up the road.
There is more to Kissimmee than the parks that draw most travelers. Old Town Kissimmee, with its walkable strip, sits nearby, and Lake Tohopekaliga — Lake Toho to locals — spreads out close by, known for the airboats that skim its water. Gatorland is another Kissimmee fixture within the region. Anything to do with the resort stay itself lives with Terra Verde Resort directly; getting you there from the ship is the part we handle, and we hand you off rested and ready to settle in.
This is a door-to-door journey in one private vehicle, yours alone. After you disembark at PortMiami, the driver is coordinated by message as your group clears the terminal and meets you at the curb on Dodge Island. The bags go straight into the vehicle — no dragging them across a lot — and you settle in for a single, direct leg north. The route runs by Florida’s Turnpike, a clean run from the port up toward Kissimmee with no transfers and no detours along the way.
Because the pickup is timed to your actual arrival off the ship, the driver is already in place when you walk out, and the wait window absorbs a slow gangway or a long customs line. You set the pace for the drive. When you reach Terra Verde Resort, the drop-off is at the resort address, with luggage assist at the end just as at the start, so you step out at the door and are done with the logistics for the day.
