A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and Holiday Inn Express & Suites S Lake Buena Vista by IHG runs about 229.2 miles in 229–250 minutes via Florida’s Turnpike, at a flat rate from $550 per vehicle — a reserved black SUV with a bilingual chauffeur, luggage help, and pickup right at your ship’s own terminal.
These are one-way, per-vehicle rates for transfers to or from Port of Miami; the price you book is the price you pay.
Book the ride before you dock and disembarkation becomes the easy part: your reserved black SUV meets you at the terminal and runs straight to Holiday Inn Express & Suites S Lake Buena Vista by IHG, no stops.
From the pier it is one run along Florida’s Turnpike — about 229.2 miles — ending at the door of Holiday Inn Express & Suites S Lake Buena Vista by IHG.
The fare includes complimentary waiting:
The flat rate is honest because its edges are clear — these are not included:
It feels closer to riding with friends than hailing a car — better service, personal and organized, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone.
Budget 229 to 250 minutes between Port of Miami and Holiday Inn Express & Suites S Lake Buena Vista by IHG, depending on the hour.
Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s rush — thousands of passengers walk off the ships at once — so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, with the Florida’s Turnpike traffic already priced into the plan.
Three private sizes cover this route; all of them go straight from your ship to Holiday Inn Express & Suites S Lake Buena Vista by IHG.
The rhythm of arrival day is simple: clear the terminal, bags to the curb, one direct ride to Holiday Inn Express & Suites S Lake Buena Vista by IHG — no shuttle line, no luggage-drag across the port.
Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:
International Drive strings Universal, SeaWorld, ICON Park’s wheel, and the convention center along one long, hotel-lined boulevard.
For rooms, parking, and check-in questions, the property itself is the source — see Holiday Inn Express & Suites S Lake Buena Vista by IHG’s official page.
A gap between disembarkation and departure does not have to be spent at a food court: book the vehicle by the hour and see the city instead, bags safely aboard.
Guests here often fit in Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park once they land ashore, with the Orange County Convention Center and SeaWorld Orlando also nearby in International Drive.
Payment stays flexible while the reservation stays firm:
At your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island — the driver is coordinated by message as you exit the hall and meets your group at the curb. Tell us the cruise line and we stage at the correct terminal.
As soon as your group clears the terminal — self-assist walkers are often out within the first hour, checked-luggage groups a little later. Your booking includes 30 minutes of complimentary wait, so the pace of customs never costs you the ride.
Yes — the same flat one-way rate covers the reverse leg. Book both directions together and each pickup is planned around your ship’s schedule.
Yes. One seat for a child under 5 rides free on every booking; additional seats carry a small fee listed in the add-ons section of this page.
We watch the port schedule and shift the pickup to the ship’s actual arrival — no penalty, no re-booking. The same applies to delayed flights on airport legs.
Ships sail on their own clock — pickups outside the 7:00 AM–9:00 PM window carry a small surcharge:
An app assigns whoever is nearby, in whatever car they drive, at whatever the surge says. A reservation assigns a specific vehicle to your group at a fixed fare, staged for your ship’s arrival — a different product for a morning when everyone leaves at once.
There is also the wait itself. A rideshare is requested only after you clear the hall and hauls you to a pickup zone; our driver is coordinated by message as you exit, with 30 minutes of courtesy wait already included, and a schedule change on your side is a message, not a new fare.
Uber and Lyft are trademarks of their respective owners; we are not affiliated with or endorsed by either, and any comparison reflects publicly available pricing.
Send the date, group size, and your ship and we confirm the vehicle to Holiday Inn Express & Suites S Lake Buena Vista by IHG with the pickup staged around your arrival.
Message first rather than calling — we are often mid-service with other clients and answer texts fastest.

Curbside pickup is our main approach. Just message us your exit gate and the driver will roll up within minutes — typically quicker than the classic sign-holding option.
Should you rather have the driver wait in the terminal holding a sign with your name, we can set that up too for $20
