From $610 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Edgewater Hotel 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.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. The curbside greeting at the terminal is included; the Meet & Greet at the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
The Edgewater Hotel sits in Winter Garden, one of Central Florida’s most appealing small towns and part of the wider Winter Garden & West Orange area. The town restored its brick main street into a genuine downtown rather than a strip of chains, and the hotel puts you within easy reach of it. After days at sea, arriving somewhere with a real sense of place — a walkable core, a slower pace — is a welcome change from the noise of a hectic terminal.
Step outside and the neighborhood does the work. Historic Plant Street runs through the heart of downtown, lined with the kind of independent shops and cafes that reward an unhurried afternoon. The Winter Garden Farmers Market draws locals and visitors alike, and the West Orange Trail rolls right through town for anyone who wants to walk or ride once the bags are dropped. It makes an easy base, compact enough to explore on foot yet close to plenty more.
Water is never far. The Butler Chain of Lakes lies neighboring, and Windermere’s lakes sit just to the south, so the countryside around the hotel leans green and open rather than urban. If you are building extra days into the journey, the official Visit Orlando guide is a useful starting point for filling the calendar. For now, the plan is simple: one direct ride from the pier to the front door, and the rest of the day is yours to settle in.
The journey runs from PortMiami straight to The Edgewater Hotel as a single leg. Your chauffeur is staged at the terminal before you clear the arrivals hall, so once your group walks out with the bags, the car is already there at the curb. Every bag goes into the vehicle, the doors close, and you are on your way — no line to stand in, no dragging luggage across the port.
From there it is Florida’s Turnpike for most of the way north, roughly 240 miles covered in one uninterrupted run. Plan on somewhere between 237 and 246 minutes depending on the hour you leave; disembarkation mornings back up at the exits, but that wait belongs to the driver, not to you. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone, the climate set the way you like it, with a stop only when you ask for one.
