A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and The Alfond Inn runs about 240.5 miles in 243–249 minutes via Florida’s Turnpike, at a flat rate from $550 per vehicle — a dedicated SUV with a bilingual chauffeur, luggage help, and pickup right at your ship’s own terminal.
Pricing is flat and per vehicle for the one-way run — the group travels together for a single locked fare, tolls and fuel included.
The most reliable option is a pre-booked private transfer: a dedicated SUV assigned to your group, timed to your ship’s arrival, staged at the terminal when you walk off.
From the pier it is one run along Florida’s Turnpike — about 240.5 miles — ending at the door of The Alfond Inn.
Courtesy wait time is included on every booking:
A few things sit outside the fare, so you can plan for them:
Count on roughly 243–249 minutes terminal to door, light traffic to heavy.
Disembarkation mornings stack up fast at the terminal exits; your driver is staged before you clear the hall, so the wait is theirs, not yours, and Florida’s Turnpike does the rest.
Every booking gets its own vehicle and chauffeur — a better experience built around your sailing, not a pooled shuttle making the rounds.
Three private sizes cover this route; all of them go straight from your ship to The Alfond Inn.
Beyond the parks, Orlando has a real city — Lake Eola’s swans downtown, Winter Park’s Park Avenue boutiques, and arena nights at the Kia Center.
Families come off the ships every week — the car seat side is handled:
For corporate sailings out of Orlando, one coordinated pickup beats a dozen app receipts: one vehicle, one invoice, one arrival time.
From The Alfond Inn the port is a genuine road trip, and that is exactly when a private vehicle earns its keep — space to stretch, your own climate zone, and stops only when you ask.
Reserving is simple: half now, half on the day, and a fair cancellation window.
If you stay on after the cruise, Lake Eola Park and the Kia Center are close by, with Park Avenue in Winter Park and the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum also nearby in Orlando.
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. 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.
Yes — book both legs together (each priced at the flat one-way rate) and the return pickup is scheduled for your sailing date.
Ships sail on their own clock — pickups outside the 7:00 AM–9:00 PM window carry a small surcharge:
The difference shows at 8 AM on a turnaround Saturday: app queues and climbing multipliers at the port exits on one side; on the other, a chauffeur already staged at your terminal at a fare set days ago.
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.

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 $20
The day before your ride, we’ll message you the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and its license plate, plus step-by-step curbside pickup directions.
No need to stress. We’ll message you the moment your flight touches down. If we don’t hear back quickly, the driver will automatically make his way to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll locate you; we never leave anyone stranded.
On domestic flights, we allow up to 60 minutes of waiting after arrival.
On international flights, the courtesy window stretches to 120 minutes.
For hotel pickups, there’s a 15-minute grace window.
For port pickups, we hold up to 60 minutes beyond the scheduled time.
This is uncommon, given that two complimentary hours of waiting are already built in. If you remain inside the airport past that point, the ride can be treated as a no-show. You may also ask for more waiting time, priced at US$ 30 for every additional 30-minute block, paid in cash straight to the driver.
Yes. Our drivers give a hand loading and unloading your luggage.
The standard limit is one large suitcase plus one carry-on for each traveler.

All good. Smart routing. Spotless car.
éramos só nós dois e reservei online e recebi confirmação rápido, o wifi funcionou, as crianças se entretiveram no caminho.
Chegamos tarde e cansados, já estava esperando quando saímos. confirmaram por mensagem na noite anterior. Tudo certo no geral. Estávamos com 4 malas grandes.
Punctual. Good driver. Tidy interior.
Exactly what we needed. easiest part of the whole travel day. The $80 rate stayed firm.
