From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Hollywood to Loews Sapphire Falls Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
The driver is at your door in Hollywood at the time you chose, with the vehicle reserved for your group alone. Bags are handled for you, the courtesy wait at the pickup is 15 minutes, and the trip runs straight to the resort with no detours you did not ask for.
Loews Sapphire Falls Resort sits inside the Universal Orlando Resort area, a Caribbean-themed hotel built for families and larger groups who want to be a short walk from the gates. The design leans into island calm — palm-lined grounds, a generous pool area, and restaurants right on the property. Because it lives within the Universal complex, a long day at the parks ends back in your room without a drive worth mentioning.
What you find nearby is most of the reason people book here. Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure anchor the surrounding area, with a water park and a riverside dining-and-entertainment district rounding out the days. Many families structure the whole trip around the parks, then circle back to the resort for dinner and a swim. Staying inside the complex keeps all of it within easy reach, which trims the daily back-and-forth that wears a vacation down.
The property is geared toward longer family and group stays. You get spacious common areas, both casual counters and sit-down dining on the property, and a large pool zone where children can shake off whatever energy the parks left in them. The Caribbean styling keeps the tone relaxed rather than rushed, and straightforward connections run to Universal’s parks and its dining district. For a group arriving after a few hours on the road, that combination — rooms, food, and water all in one place — is what makes the resort an easy base for the trip.
The ride begins at your door in Hollywood. Your chauffeur arrives at the time you set, loads the luggage into the vehicle, and the bags stay with you for the entire run — no shared seats, no swapping cars partway. From there the route heads north on Florida’s Turnpike before joining I-4 toward the Orlando area, with one driver handling the whole drive to the resort entrance.
In normal traffic, the roughly 217.5-mile trip runs about three and a half hours door to door. Park events, holidays, and the Orlando interchanges can stretch that, so if you need to arrive by a set hour, tell us when you book and we work the pickup time backward with room to spare. You ride in one climate-controlled cabin the whole way, and the driver sees you and your bags to the door.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
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.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
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.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
The two of us were wrapping up a few days in Hollywood before heading to Loews Sapphire Falls Resort, and a private car was the easiest way to link the two. We caught up on messages the whole way up from Hollywood — worth it compared to driving it ourselves.
Queríamos un día fácil entre Hollywood y Loews Sapphire Falls Resort para los dos, y el traslado privado fue exactamente eso. Nos relajamos un rato subiendo desde Hollywood — mucho mejor que manejar la Turnpike. El conductor se ocupó de todo el equipaje para que no tuviéramos que cargar nada. ¡Gracias por el viaje tan cómodo!
My wife and I were not about to do the Turnpike ourselves, so we arranged a private ride from Hollywood straight to Loews Sapphire Falls Resort. The driver was clearly experienced on this run, which made the trip feel first-class. A low-key start to the two of us being on vacation — from Hollywood to Loews Sapphire Falls Resort with nothing to think about.
We came as a group and wanted everyone and the luggage in one private ride from Hollywood to Loews Sapphire Falls Resort instead of splitting into cars. Pickup was right at the door of our hotel in Hollywood, no waiting around. The drive from Hollywood to Loews Sapphire Falls Resort was easy the whole way, and we weren’t tired at all.
Traveling by myself for a long weekend at the parks, I wanted a door-to-door ride from Hollywood to Loews Sapphire Falls Resort without any of the driving. The fare was fixed and agreed when I booked — no meter, no surprises, which for a long trip like this I really appreciated.
