From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Westgate Resorts in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
Westgate Resorts is a resort destination, a property built to be the base for a whole journey rather than a swift overnight. For travelers stepping off a cruise, it marks a clear shift — from the tight rhythm of a ship to a place where you settle in, unpack once, and let the days slow down. Booking a private ride straight to the resort means that change of pace starts the moment you clear the terminal.
The resort sits well inland from the water, a real distance from the cruise terminals rather than a few blocks away. That makes a reserved vehicle the sensible way to close the gap: one confirmed car, your group only, luggage loaded once at the port and not handled again until the resort entrance. There is no scrambling for a ride on the morning you dock, and no shared detours between the ship and your stay.
For anything tied to the property itself — room types, parking, and check-in or check-out times — the resort is the source to confirm with directly; those details sit with Westgate, not with the ride. What the transfer handles is everything between the ship and the front of the resort: a driver who knows the port, bags carried at both ends, and a fare fixed before you journey so that the arrival becomes the simple part of the day. You step off the cruise, meet the car, and ride through to Westgate Resorts in one planned run.
The ride begins right at your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island. Once your group clears the hall, the driver meets you at the curb — not a parking lot, not a distant lot — and loads the bags while you obtain settled. From there it runs straight to Westgate Resorts, your group alone in the vehicle, with no shared stops along the way.
Because the resort sits well beyond the immediate port region, this is a longer haul than a downtown drop, so the whole leg is planned as one clean run. Your booking includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait at the port, so the pace of customs and disembarkation never costs you the car within that time. Tolls and fuel are already inside the flat fare — nothing is added on the day — and the same bags loaded at the terminal come off at the resort entrance.
