From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Westgate Palace Hotel / Universal / I-Drive 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Westgate Palace Hotel sits along International Drive in Orlando, the long, hotel-lined boulevard that ties together numerous of the region’s top-known attractions. It is a spot built for people who desire to be close to the action, with rooms, parking, and check-in handled by the property itself. Step outside and you are on I-Drive, within reach of theme parks, dining, and shopping all along one stretch.
The location is what makes this address worth the drive. Universal Orlando Resort is a short hop from the door, and ICON Park, with its towering observation wheel, is part of the same International Drive scene. SeaWorld Orlando is close by as well, so guests staying here can line up more than one park without moving hotels. For a break from the rides, the Orlando International Premium Outlets sit nearby, giving you a place to shop between park days.
Because everything on International Drive strings together along a single route, arriving guests find it easy to obtain their bearings. The convention center anchors one end, the parks and entertainment fill in the middle, and the outlets round things out. When your private vehicle pulls up to Westgate Palace Hotel, look for the driver at the main entrance. For anything tied to the property itself, such as rooms or parking, the hotel is the right source. What the ride delivers is a direct arrival at the door, with your whole group and their luggage together, so the Orlando part of your journey starts the moment you step out of the car.
This is a genuine road journey, about 231 miles by road from the Port of Miami cruise terminal to Westgate Palace Hotel on International Drive, and that distance is exactly where a private vehicle earns its place. Your driver meets you at the terminal on Dodge Island, timed to your ship’s actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, and the included wait window absorbs a slow gangway. From the pier it is one run north toward Orlando, with no shared stops along the way.
The journey normally takes 229 to 238 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour and traffic. Your luggage rides in the vehicle with you, help with the bags is part of the service, and the group travels together in its own climate. Fuel and standard tolls are already inside the flat fare, so the number you booked is the number you pay. Stops happen only when you ask, and the vehicle runs straight to the door of Westgate Palace Hotel.
