| Type | Cost Range | Travel Time | Best For | Our Take |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Disney Ground Transfer | $39 | 27 min | Families prioritizing convenience for short ride | You're paying premium prices for a 20-minute ride. Only worth it if you're exhausted from flying. |
| Uber/Lyft | $15–$25 | 18 min | Most travelers - the go-to option for Miami | The obvious choice. Fast, cheap, and reliable. Cant beat this option for Miami transfers. |
| Rental Car | $30–$60 | 18 min | Travelers planning Miami exploration | Only book a car if you're spending time in Miami. Don't rent just for the airport-to-port trip. |
| Personal Car | $0 | 18 min | Local Miami-area residents | Only makes sense if you live in Miami. For visitors, Uber beats the parking fees. |
| Hotel Shuttle | $0–$10 | 10 min | Guests staying at airport-adjacent hotels | If your pre-cruise hotel offers this, it's the winner. Book a hotel with shuttle and save on transfers. |
| Taxi | $30–$45 | 18 min | Travelers uncomfortable with app-based services | Taxi is fine but Uber beats it on price and speed. Only use taxi if app services unavailable. |
