A private cruise transfer to or from Port of Miami and Homewood Suites By Hilton Maitland runs about 241.5 miles in 241–249 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.
The most reliable option is a pre-booked private transfer: a reserved black 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 241.5 miles — ending at the door of Homewood Suites By Hilton Maitland.
Payment stays flexible while the reservation stays firm:
From Homewood Suites By Hilton Maitland 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.
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.
Most cruises start with a flight — we also run the MIA and FLL airport legs on the same flat-rate, private basis, so the whole travel day can sit under one booking thread.
Tell us the ship and arrival date and we stage the vehicle for the morning rush: self-assist walkers come off early, checked-luggage groups later, and either way the driver is coordinated by message as you exit.
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.

Disembarkation mornings are exactly when app prices spike: thousands of passengers request cars at once and an Uber or Lyft fare can multiply at the terminal curb. A reserved transfer to Homewood Suites By Hilton Maitland is priced before any of that happens, and it cannot move.
