From $600 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to Loews Sapphire Falls Resort, your whole group in one reserved car.
Every figure below prices the vehicle itself, not the seat, and it holds from the moment you reserve — one number for the group, whether you set out at noon or in the thick of rush hour.
Pickup is curbside at Miami International Airport. The moment you clear the terminal with your bags, the driver is standing at the arrivals curb, and the trip north starts with no app to open and no car to summon. Add your flight number at booking so the landing is tracked live — an early or late arrival simply slides the pickup to match, and the quoted fare does not move. That curbside meet-and-greet is part of every booking.
Three private classes cover this run to Sapphire Falls, and whichever you choose is held for your group alone — never pooled with strangers:
Loews Sapphire Falls Resort is Universal Orlando’s Caribbean-styled property, set at 6601 Adventure Way, Orlando, FL 32819. A lagoon-shaped pool anchors the grounds, island decor runs through the buildings, and many rooms look out over the water. It stands inside the larger Universal district, a short hop from Universal’s theme parks, its dining-and-nightlife promenade, and the convention halls. The setting is a planned resort strip — hotels, restaurants, and attractions instead of a neighborhood of homes — so most people checking into Sapphire Falls are bound for the parks or a neighboring event. For room types and on-site details, open the official resort information page.
Door to door the run covers 232.4 miles (374.0 km) and takes roughly 230 to 236 minutes, off-peak to peak. Miami International sits west of downtown, so the car joins the expressway pointed away from the city rather than pushing through it, which is why the Miami end barely registers on the clock. From there the route rides Florida’s Turnpike north into Central Florida — a steady toll highway that carries most of the distance before the exit toward Universal Orlando. Depart early in the day and the time lands near the low end of that band, because the slow miles bunch up near the Miami exits, not out on the open turnpike; a later start drifts higher. As one nonstop private transfer, any extra minutes trace back to live traffic alone and never change the fare you agreed.
Pricing is one-way and tied to the vehicle, so a round trip is simply that figure doubled — never a per-person charge. A 50% deposit locks the car and the rate at booking, and the other half goes to the driver on trip day. Settle by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link, with nothing past the agreed balance collected at the curb.
Tolls, SunPass, and fuel already sit inside the flat fare, and onboard WiFi from a mobile hotspot rides along for the group — nothing on that list reappears at the curb. A short set of options sits outside the base rate:
Each passenger is set for one checked bag and a carry-on. Carrying more than that — or something bulky like golf clubs or a stroller — is no problem; flag it over WhatsApp first so the room is confirmed or you shift to a larger van. Give the bag count when you book and the correct vehicle is set from the start.
It is fully private — the van carries your party only, never a pooled or shared load. The flat per-vehicle fare is billed once for the whole vehicle instead of per head, and a round trip is just twice the one-way. By tier, the van holds 6 to 9 or 10 to 14.
Yes — pickups run around the clock. The typical window is 7 AM to 9 PM; a start outside it adds the night fee noted above — $50 for an SUV on this beyond-county run to Orlando, or 10% for a van. Give the flight or pickup time at booking and a late-night curb meet is arranged like any other.
Pickup happens only at MIA or PortMiami, yet drop-offs can reach other airports, ports, and cities around Florida — so a transfer that ends somewhere other than Loews Sapphire Falls Resort is no trouble. This listing handles the MIA-to-resort leg both ways. Name both ends at booking and the vehicle, fare, and meeting point come back confirmed for each direction.
Yes — the price rides with the vehicle, not the seat count. Two travelers or a full van, the group pays the single flat figure in the pricing list above, which is what makes the SUV and van a good deal for families or larger parties. Adding riders within a vehicle’s limit never nudges the fare.
Ready to lock your MIA-to-Sapphire-Falls ride? Message on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your flight number, date, passenger count, and any child seats or extra bags. The vehicle, meeting point, and flat fare come back to you in writing, and the deposit holds your 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. 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.
We came to Florida for our anniversary and starting the trip with a private airport pickup was the right move. Our flight was delayed and the driver had been tracking it — not a worry at all.
Traveling alone, I wanted arrival handled coming out of Miami Airport, and this was perfect. Landing late at night, it was a huge comfort to have a private car already waiting instead of a taxi gamble. The driver took care of the suitcases so I didn’t have to lift a thing after the flight.
Our group of friends booked one van straight from MIA, and it could not have been easier. The driver was bilingual, which made sorting out the details that much easier. We were on our way within minutes of clearing arrivals, no waiting around.
No soporto el caos de buscar un rideshare al salir de MIA, así que reservé un auto privado a Loews Sapphire Falls Resort.
Getting all of us out of the airport is usually a headache — one pre-booked van to Loews Sapphire Falls Resort made it effortless. No taxi line, no rideshare surge — we just walked out and the car was there. Booking was simple, we got the pickup details in writing, and everything matched what we were told. Would book again in a heartbeat.
