From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Orlando to Grand Palms Spa & Golf Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
The driver comes to your hotel, resort, vacation home or address in the Orlando area at the agreed time, loads the bags and heads south with only your party on board. There is no counter, no shared van and no waiting for other passengers: the vehicle is yours from the door in Orlando to the destination in South Florida. A courtesy wait of 15 minutes is included at the pickup.
Grand Palms Spa & Golf Resort is a golf-and-spa property in Pembroke Pines, a quiet corner of suburban South Florida that trades the theme-park bustle you leave in Orlando for something far more restful. Nearly everything the resort is known for sits together on a single stretch of grounds, so the moment the long drive ends your stay can begin — the spa, the course, and a quiet room are all right there, with no further travel needed to reach them.
Golf leads the way, with a championship course laid out across open fairways, backed by a full-service spa, pools, and resort dining all kept on the same property. Because it shares one address, the grounds themselves become the destination once the driving is behind you. Families often come here to wind down after a busy stretch in Orlando, while business and convention guests settle in for meetings in the same calm, unhurried setting.
The surrounding area blends quiet residential streets with golf-community neighborhoods, and the shopping, dining, and beach access of the wider South Florida metro sit an easy local drive away. Marinas and the major shopping districts of the region are within reach once you have arrived and unpacked. Your chauffeur brings you straight to the resort entrance, bags and all, so the trip ends at the door itself rather than a distant lot, and you can start exploring from the resort the minute you step out.
Your ride starts wherever you are in the Orlando area — a downtown hotel, a resort near the parks, a vacation home in Lake Buena Vista or Kissimmee, or an address you name — with door-to-door pickup at the exact time you set. Your bags go into the same vehicle you ride in, and one driver stays with the party from the first mile to the last. From there the route runs south on Florida’s Turnpike and I-95 into South Florida, covering about 232 miles at a flat, per-vehicle fare.
The drive takes roughly 3.6 hours off-peak, and because the rate is locked at booking, a slower stretch of road never changes what you pay. If you would like a planned stop for a restroom or a snack, add it when you book and your driver builds it into the day. The trip ends with a drop-off right at the entrance of Grand Palms Spa & Golf Resort, bags and all.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. The first child seat or booster is included; each additional one is $20. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
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.
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.
Reservé una van privada para la familia de Orlando hasta Grand Palms Spa & Golf Resort para que los niños pudieran ver sus dibujos después de los días de parques en vez de que nosotros manejáramos estresados.

Recibimos un mensaje la noche anterior confirmando la hora en Orlando, y el auto estaba justo afuera — nada que perseguir.
Nuestra familia necesitaba bajar de Orlando hasta Grand Palms Spa & Golf Resort con un coche de bebé y demasiado equipaje, y una sola van privada fue perfecta.

After a few days in Orlando we booked a private car to carry us and the bags down to Grand Palms Spa & Golf Resort — no rental, no return, no stress. The car was spotless, a relief in the Florida heat. We caught up on messages the whole way down from Orlando — worth it compared to white-knuckling the Turnpike.
We finished our resort week in Orlando and had the beach half booked at Grand Palms Spa & Golf Resort, and one private van was the easiest way to move everyone. We were on the road exactly when planned, no phone tag. The SUV was roomy enough for everything, and the AC stayed cold the whole way.
