From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Orlando to the Betsy Hotel 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.
Give us the pickup address in the Orlando area 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 down Florida’s Turnpike into South Florida, 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.
The Betsy Hotel sits on the South Beach stretch of Miami Beach, only a short walk from the Atlantic and the heart of the city’s Art Deco district. After a long drive south from Central Florida, you step out close to the coast itself, where white sand meets the pastel 1930s facades that give this corner of Miami Beach its unmistakable look. It is the kind of arrival that tells you the trip is behind you and the vacation has begun.
The streets around the hotel pack a great deal into a small, walkable area. Cafes, rooftop bars, and galleries sit within easy reach, and Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue put dining, shopping, and the beach boardwalk practically at the front door. You can leave the hotel on foot and find most of what you came for without getting back into a vehicle, which is a welcome change after hours on the highway.
The Betsy itself carries a refined, coastal character, with a reputation for its literary and arts programming and its unhurried poolside afternoons. It suits couples looking for a quiet escape as much as families winding down after busy days at the Orlando theme parks. When the sun goes down, the calmer end of the neighborhood keeps things relaxed, so the evening feels as easy as the afternoon, and the ocean is never more than a few steps from where you are staying.
Your driver meets you at the agreed time at your Orlando-area hotel, resort, vacation home, or address anywhere in Central Florida. Every bag goes into the vehicle, your group settles in, and the same chauffeur stays with you for the entire run. From there it is a straight drive south on Florida’s Turnpike and I-95 into South Florida, covering about 232 miles down to the coast.
The trip runs roughly 4.1 hours door to door in normal daytime conditions, ending right at the Betsy Hotel in South Beach. One private cabin carries your whole party the whole way, so there is no transferring between vehicles and no sharing seats with strangers. If you would like to break up the drive, a planned stop can be added when you book, and the driver will time the departure around it.
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.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
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.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
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.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
No íbamos a hacer malabares con niños cansados, snacks y maletas en un auto alquilado por toda la carretera, así que reservamos una van privada desde nuestro alojamiento en Orlando hasta the Betsy Hotel. Nos relajamos casi todo el camino bajando desde Orlando — mucho mejor que manejar la Turnpike. Era un auto privado para nuestro grupo nada más, y eso hizo el viaje largo hasta the Betsy Hotel fácil y calmado.
The two of us finished our week in Orlando and booked a private car down to the Betsy Hotel so we could start the beach half without driving. We set an early pickup so we could be at the Betsy Hotel in time for check-in, and the driver was outside as promised. The run down the Turnpike was handled from start to finish, and we got to just look out the window.
Excelente servicio — privado, puntual y sin dolores de cabeza. El viaje de Orlando hasta the Betsy Hotel fue silencioso y relajado, y llegamos sin nada de cansancio.
Qué bueno que no alquilamos auto para bajar. Van limpia, gran conductor, y llegamos con energía. Sinceramente la parte más fácil de todo el viaje — todo funcionó.
After a week together in Orlando, the whole crew piled into one private van for the drive south to the Betsy Hotel, and nobody had to drive. Booking was simple, we got a clear confirmation, and it all lined up perfectly. The car was roomy enough for everything, with plenty of room to stretch out.
