From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to TownePlace Suites by Marriott Orlando Near Universal in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
TownePlace Suites by Marriott Orlando Near Universal sits in Orlando, along the International Drive corridor — the long, hotel-lined boulevard that strings together many of the city’s best-known attractions. Staying here puts you within easy reach of Universal Orlando Resort, SeaWorld Orlando, ICON Park with its towering observation wheel, and the Orange County Convention Center, all gathered along the same stretch of road.
The location is what makes this property work for so many travelers. Whether your days are built around theme parks, a convention schedule, or a mix of both, you are close to the action without being buried in it. The surrounding area keeps dining, shopping, and entertainment within a short hop, so once you are checked in there is little need to venture far for the essentials of a comfortable stay.
Because it belongs to the TownePlace Suites family, the hotel is geared toward guests who want room to spread out — a practical choice after a cruise, when you are traveling with luggage and, often, with family. For the specifics of rooms, parking, and check-in, the property’s own official page is the place to confirm current details. What we handle is the part before you walk through the lobby doors: getting your whole party here from the port in one direct, private ride, so arrival in Orlando starts the moment your driver pulls up.
This is one direct leg, roughly 229.8 miles by Florida’s Turnpike, with a typical drive time of 226 to 235 minutes depending on the hour. Your chauffeur is staged for your ship’s arrival, coordinating by message as you clear the terminal, then meets your group at the curb on Dodge Island. Tell us your cruise line and we position at the correct terminal, so there is no wandering the port looking for a car.
Once bags are loaded, the luggage rides in the vehicle with you and the chauffeur takes the Turnpike straight north to Orlando. The rate covers the whole vehicle one way, with fuel, standard tolls, and luggage help already inside the fare. Disembarkation mornings move slowly at the exits, but the wait is your driver’s, not yours — 60 minutes of courtesy wait is built into every port pickup, and the drive to the hotel does the rest.
