From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Fort Lauderdale to Waldorf Astoria Orlando Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
The meeting point is simple: the entrance of your hotel or the front door of your home in Fort Lauderdale. The driver helps with the suitcases, settles everyone in, and takes the direct route north to the resort. A 15-minute courtesy wait is included at the pickup address.
Waldorf Astoria Orlando Resort sits in the Orlando area, along the stretch of Central Florida where the region’s big resorts and theme-park corridors come together. It is a destination in its own right rather than a place you pass through, and most people who book a private ride to it are heading north for the parks or for a longer stay at the resort itself. That is the setting the drive delivers you into: the resort corridors that fill up on holiday weekends and big event dates, with your ride timed to reach them cleanly.
What makes the arrival feel easy is where the car actually stops. There is no rental desk to line up at and no parking deck to circle at the far end of the trip. The vehicle pulls in at the resort entrance itself, so the transition from the road to the resort is a short one, and your bags come out at the door rather than at a lot some distance away. For a family or a group carrying a full load, that matters more than it sounds.
Because the ride is arranged door to door, the resort is simply the last point on a single planned trip. You settle in for the drive, the miles pass while someone else handles the road, and you arrive fresh and ready for whatever the day at the parks or the resort holds. The return leg works the same way, so traveling back toward Fort Lauderdale from the resort is arranged with the same one message.
Your chauffeur reaches the agreed Fort Lauderdale address at the time you set, loads every bag into the vehicle, and points north. The route runs the Florida’s Turnpike to I-4 corridor toward the Orlando area, one driver the whole way and one vehicle held for your group alone. Nobody swaps cars and nobody waits on extra riders. Bags stay in the vehicle from the first door to the last, and a family-sized load goes in without the squeeze a smaller car forces.
Door to door the drive runs about 3.5 to 3.6 hours, off-peak through peak. Morning departures usually finish near the lower end, when traffic leaving South Florida is thinnest, while late-afternoon and Friday starts push toward the upper end, and holiday weekends or big park-event dates can stretch it further. Your driver follows live conditions and picks the cleanest northbound line for the day and hour you travel.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
A 50% deposit reserves the ride online; the balance is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. One child seat or booster is included and each additional one is $20, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
Yes for the details: add a passenger, a child seat or a note up to 12 hours before the pickup time. No for the date, which stays as booked.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
Reserving a few days ahead is ideal, and in peak season (holidays, spring break, big cruise weekends) a week or more keeps your first-choice vehicle available. Requests inside 24 hours are welcome but depend on availability, and those bookings are non-refundable once confirmed.
We run on reservations rather than on-demand pickups. A same-day request may still work if a driver is free: message us on WhatsApp with the pickup time and we will confirm quickly. Keep in mind that a ride booked within 24 hours of pickup cannot be refunded.
No. A 50% deposit holds the vehicle when you book online, and the other half goes to your driver on the day of the ride, in cash or by card. If you prefer to settle everything at once, choose Pay in full at checkout.
Yes. After the deposit, the remaining half is paid directly to your driver when the ride is done, cash or card, whichever you prefer. There is nothing else to pay unless you added an extra service.
Cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the pickup. Inside that 24-hour window the ride is non-refundable, and no-shows are treated the same way. Booking details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can still be updated until 12 hours before pickup.
The pickup time and other details can be adjusted until 12 hours before the ride, subject to driver availability; write to us as soon as your plans change. The travel date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Payments run through Stripe over an encrypted checkout; we never see your card number. Card payments carry a 3% processing fee that is shown before you pay. Zelle is also accepted for the deposit with no fee: ask us on WhatsApp.
Not at all. Travelers reserve from all over the world, international cards are accepted at checkout, and we answer on WhatsApp and email in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Yes. Give us the flight number when you book and your driver tracks it in real time, so the pickup follows the actual landing rather than the scheduled one, at no extra cost.
Message us the moment you know. We reschedule around the new arrival whenever a driver is available; because that counts as a change to the booking, the cancellation terms above still apply if the ride cannot be rebooked.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
You receive the meeting instructions in advance, and the driver contacts you the day before the ride to confirm every detail. On landing, head to the agreed curb; connect to the airport Wi-Fi and message us on WhatsApp if anything is unclear.
The day before the ride we send the driver’s name and phone number, and the vehicle details you need to spot the car. Vehicle photos on the site show the category booked; the exact model can vary.
Call or WhatsApp us at +1 (786) 682-8748 and we connect you right away. The pickup is always coordinated at the confirmed spot, and the courtesy waiting time keeps running from your landing or your scheduled pickup.
At the airport we wait up to 60 minutes after landing on domestic flights and up to 2 hours on international arrivals; at hotels, homes and the cruise port the courtesy wait is 15 minutes. Beyond that, waiting is billed like an extra stop, $45 per 30 minutes.
The distance and the usual driving time for this exact route are listed on this page. Real timing depends on traffic and the hour, which is why the driver plans the pickup around your actual landing or ship arrival rather than a fixed clock time.
Yes. Your driver loads and unloads every bag at the curb. Drivers do not go inside the hotel or terminal to collect luggage, so have it with you at the meeting point.
Each passenger can bring one large suitcase plus one carry-on. The black SUV carries up to 5 passengers as long as passengers plus large suitcases total 10 or fewer; larger groups or extra bags move to a van. Surfboards, bikes or many extra cases need a custom setup, so tell us before booking.
Yes. Add them when you book: a child seat for babies and toddlers up to about 3 years, or a booster for ages 3 to 5. The first seat or booster is included with your booking, each additional one is $20, and they are fitted before the driver leaves for the pickup.
Planned stops are fine when you add them at booking, priced at $45 per 30 minutes with a 30-minute minimum, then $1.50 per extra minute. Unplanned detours on the day are not part of the fare.
Never. Every transfer is private: the vehicle carries only your group, door to door, with no other pickups and no waiting for strangers.
A black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a van for 6 to 9 and a larger van for 10 to 14. The fare table on this page shows the price for each. For groups above 14 we arrange several vehicles or a minibus on a custom quote.
No. We pick up and drop off at Miami International Airport, PortMiami and the other cruise terminals, hotels, private homes, offices and event venues across South Florida and beyond.
Yes. Wedding parties, corporate groups and private events get a tailored quote with the right mix of vehicles; message us with the date, head count and schedule.
Between 9 PM and 7 AM the black SUV adds a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 farther out. The fee is shown in the quote before you book, and daytime rides carry no surcharge.
The fare shown is for the exact route named on this page. For a different pickup or drop-off address, use the ride search on this site: it prices the real road distance instantly and lets you book on the spot.
The fare includes the driver, fuel and tolls, with no hidden fees. Only optional items add to it: the 3% card fee, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Queríamos un cambio tranquilo entre Fort Lauderdale y Waldorf Astoria Orlando Resort para los dos, y el traslado privado cumplió. El conductor era bilingüe, lo que tranquilizó a nuestra mamá. Un comienzo tranquilo y fácil para los dos de vacaciones — de Fort Lauderdale a Waldorf Astoria Orlando Resort sin pensar en nada. No pudo ser más fácil.
Traveling with our little ones, I was NOT going to drive the Turnpike loaded with luggage, so I booked a private van from our hotel in Fort Lauderdale to Waldorf Astoria Orlando Resort. The fare was fixed and agreed when we booked — exactly what we were quoted, which for a long trip like this we really appreciated.
Nossa família precisava ir de Fort Lauderdale até Waldorf Astoria Orlando Resort com todas as malas, e uma van privativa só deu conta de tudo. Sinceramente a parte mais fácil da viagem toda — o trajeto inteiro resolvido.

First time doing the run from Fort Lauderdale to Waldorf Astoria Orlando Resort alone, and having a private driver made the whole day easy. The driver was happy to speak English or Spanish, which made sorting out the details simple. Booking was easy, I got the pickup details in writing, and it all matched what I was told.
