From $600 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, flat fare, black SUV or van, door to door.
Each rate below is the full price for the whole vehicle to the hotel, fixed the moment you reserve and unchanged by traffic or the time you land. Pick the tier that matches your group and luggage.
Curbside pickup at Miami International Airport comes with the ride. The driver watches your inbound flight in real time, so the black SUV or van is already at the arrivals curb as you walk out with your bags — no app to open, no line to join. Prefer to be met inside? A name-sign greeting at baggage claim can be added for $40, while meet and greet at the curb is part of the standard service. One message on WhatsApp settles the exact spot before you land.
Loews Portofino Bay Hotel is an Italian-themed resort built to echo a seaside village on the Ligurian coast, with pastel buildings, cobbled piazzas and a harbor promenade, all set inside Universal Orlando Resort. It stands a short walk from the major theme parks and the dining-and-entertainment district at the core of the complex, which is why families settle in for park days here rather than heading into any downtown. The setting is resort-and-attractions ground, so most guests stay near the pools, the piazzas and the on-site restaurants. The driver pulls up at the property’s own arrival area, leaving nothing to sort out once you arrive.
The run from MIA to Loews Portofino Bay Hotel measures 232.5 miles, about 374.2 kilometers, and most of it is steady highway on Florida’s Turnpike, the road that ties South Florida to the Orlando area. Off-peak, the drive lands near 235 minutes door to door; when departure-time traffic builds it stretches toward 241. The minutes that move are mainly the opening miles around Miami and the interchanges as you near Orlando, where local volume adds a little. Since the fare is set in advance, a slower stretch never changes the number — the quote holds at 235 minutes or 241.
Booking takes a 50% deposit to lock the vehicle and the date; the balance goes straight to the driver on travel day, and the charge is per vehicle for the whole group, never per seat. The flat fare already carries every toll, SunPass charge and fuel across the 232.5-mile route, plus a bilingual driver, live flight tracking and curbside meet and greet. The first child seat is included; each extra child seat is $20. Need a stop along the way? Extra stops run $45 per 30 minutes, arranged before travel. Every price on this page is one-way — a round trip is simply the same fare in each direction, written into a single booking that also covers the return to MIA.
Daytime hours run 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. A pickup outside that window adds a night fee on top of the vehicle’s fare. Because the resort sits well beyond Miami-Dade and Broward, the after-hours fee on a black SUV for this Orlando run is $50, while trips that stay inside those two counties carry $20. Vans add 10% over the trip value outside daytime hours. The fee is confirmed with your quote, so nothing new appears at the curb.
Three private tiers cover almost any group heading to Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, each held for your party alone. The black SUV seats up to 5 with standard luggage, a fit for couples, small families and business travelers. A private van takes 6 to 9 with room to spread out on the long Orlando drive, and the largest van carries 10 to 14 for extended families or groups moving together. Give your headcount and bag count when you book so the right vehicle is assigned.
No. The driver follows your inbound flight in real time and shifts the pickup automatically, whether you land early or late. There is no rebooking and no fee for the new arrival time, and the figure agreed at booking stays exactly as it was.
No — every booking is fully private. The black SUV or van carries only your group from the MIA curb to Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, with no other passengers and no pooled stops. From the airport to the resort door, the vehicle is yours alone.
The standard allowance is one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger, which fits every tier. For extra or oversized pieces, message on WhatsApp ahead of time and the space is confirmed, or you move up to a larger van. Small pets travel with advance notice in a proper carrier, so the driver can plan around it for the long drive.
Yes. Book both legs in one reservation and the return from Loews Portofino Bay Hotel to MIA is simply the one-way fare again, run on your schedule. Share both dates and times up front so the same private vehicle and driver are set for each direction.
Ready to lock your ride to Loews Portofino Bay Hotel? Message or call WhatsApp at 786-682-8748 — send your travel date, flight number, party size and pickup time, and the private vehicle and bilingual driver are confirmed for the full 232.5-mile route.
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. Each seat is $20 and is 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.
