From $635 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Zellwood Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Zellwood Inn sits in Zellwood, a small community set in the broad, green middle of Central Florida. After the coastal rush of the cruise terminal, the change in pace is the first thing you notice: quieter roads, open sky, and the unhurried feel of a place that runs on its own clock rather than the pier’s. Your ride ends here, at the property itself, so the last leg of a long travel day comes to a clean and settled close.
The drop-off is the inn’s own entrance, not a corner down the street or a landmark neighboring. The driver brings the vehicle to the front, helps your bags to the curb, and leaves you standing where you actually meant to be. That matters most when you are tired, traveling with family, or handling more luggage than usual after a week at sea. There is no second walk with your cases and no guessing which door is yours.
Anything about the stay itself — rooms, timing, what the property offers — lives with Zellwood Inn directly; the ride to and from the ship is our part, and we keep to it. What we can promise is a plain, dependable handoff: one group in one vehicle, a route planned around your ship, and an ending at the address you gave us. You step out of the car, your bags come with you, and Zellwood is where you land. From there, the trip is yours to settle into on your own terms.
The run covers roughly 250 miles, following Florida’s Turnpike north out of the port and straight toward Zellwood. Plan on about 245 to 254 minutes door to door, with traffic and the hour being the only real variables. Because ships rarely clear every passenger at the same minute, the pickup is staged around your ship’s actual arrival with time to spare, so you are not chasing a slot cut too fine after customs and the luggage hall.
Your driver meets the group as you come off the ship, carries the bags to the vehicle, and keeps your luggage aboard for the whole drive. It is one group per vehicle, reserved for you alone — no stops added and no strangers along for the ride. From the terminal it runs directly to Zellwood Inn, bags carried to the entrance beside you, and that is the trip: straightforward, private, and pointed at one address.
