From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Hollywood to Universal Stella Nova 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.
Give us the pickup address in Hollywood and a time, and the driver is there ahead of it. Bags go straight into the SUV or van, and the trip runs door to door to the resort, with a planned stop possible if you add it when you book. The 15-minute courtesy wait at the pickup is part of the fare.
Universal Stella Nova Resort is a space-themed value hotel inside Universal Orlando Resort, which opened its doors on January 21, 2025. The cosmic styling runs from the lobby through the rooms and out across the grounds, giving families a playful, easy-to-navigate home for several days of parks. It shares its price tier with a sister property, Universal Terra Luna Resort, so you get a well-placed room without the top-of-the-range rate.
The resort sits close to Epic Universe, the newest park in the complex and the headline draw for most guests. Because it is part of the wider Universal Orlando Resort, the dining, the parks, and everything else on site are only minutes away the moment your driver leaves you at the door. Once you are checked in, the complex is walkable and shuttle-linked, so moving between your room and the attractions is short and simple.
Universal Stella Nova shares the Universal Orlando Resort area with several other on-site hotels, so there is plenty around you. Nearby choices include Universal Terra Luna Resort, Universal Helios Grand Hotel, Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort, and Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. Since we work strictly door to door, the drop happens at whichever property holds your reservation. The space theme keeps the hotel itself entertaining for children, and Universal Orlando runs its own complimentary transportation around the complex, linking the on-site hotels to the park gates once you have arrived. For a group heading to Orlando for the parks, it is a straightforward, central place to land.
Your chauffeur meets you at the agreed time at your Hollywood address, whether that is a hotel, a home, or another door in South Florida. The bags go into the vehicle once, at the curb, and the same driver and the same vehicle stay with you the entire way north to Orlando. There is nothing to collect at a rental counter, nothing to park, and no line to stand in. You choose the vehicle that fits your travelers and their luggage, and the whole party rides on one per-group price.
Under normal conditions the trip runs about 216 miles and roughly 3.6 hours from door to door, with one optional stretch break built into a quiet weekday morning. Heavy holiday weekends, Friday getaways, and large theme-park event days can add 45 to 90 minutes on the I-4 approach into Orlando, and your driver watches conditions in real time to keep you on schedule for check-in or your first park morning.
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.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. The first child seat or booster is included on request; each additional one is $20. Extra stops along the way are $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.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
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.
Booked a private van for the family from Hollywood up to Universal Stella Nova Resort so the kids could watch their shows instead of a cranky road trip. The fare was fixed and agreed when we booked — nothing added at the end, which for a long trip like this we really appreciated.
So glad we didn’t rent a car. Clean van, great driver, we arrived rested. The driver dropped us at the front doors of Universal Stella Nova Resort, not a step further than needed.
Didn’t feel like a long drive north on my own, so I booked a private SUV from Hollywood to Universal Stella Nova Resort and let someone else handle the road. The fare was fixed and agreed when I booked — no meter, no surprises, which for a long trip like this I really appreciated. The drive from Hollywood to Universal Stella Nova Resort was calm and comfortable, and I got there ready for the parks.
SUV limpia, recogida fácil en Hollywood y un conductor que sabía exactamente dónde quedaba Universal Stella Nova Resort. Lo reservaría de nuevo.
We didn’t want to juggle kids, snacks and suitcases in a rental for a long drive, so we booked a private van from our place in Hollywood to Universal Stella Nova Resort. The kids watched their shows the whole ride, and getting straight to Universal Stella Nova Resort without a rental, a map, and a meltdown was perfect. Pickup was at the house where we were staying in Hollywood, on time to the dot.
