From $595 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from West Palm Beach to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
The driver comes to your hotel, home or address in West Palm Beach at the agreed time, loads the bags and heads north 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 to the resort entrance. A courtesy wait of 15 minutes is included at the pickup.
The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes Resort spreads across a large lakeside campus in Orlando, set south of the busy theme-park district. It occupies a quieter, resort-style corner of the area, wrapped in manicured grounds and water features that keep the pace calm even when the parks are crowded. The feeling is relaxed comfort rather than constant motion — open courtyards, lakefront views, and plenty of room to spread out between visits, so arriving here feels less like checking in near the parks and more like stepping onto a private estate.
The property shares the Grande Lakes estate with a sister hotel, which gives guests a wide spread of pools, restaurants, and recreation without ever leaving the grounds. That shared setting turns the resort into a full destination on its own, while the major Orlando parks stay within easy driving reach for the days you want them. Between outings you can settle into the courtyards and the lakefront, letting the grounds and the water do the work of slowing everyone down.
On the estate you also find an acclaimed spa and an eighteen-hole championship golf course, both popular with guests who want real downtime between park days, along with an expansive on-site water experience built to give children a full day of their own. We drive you to the door; the spa, the golf, and the resort’s other experiences are arranged with the property directly. Tell us the arrival time you want and the ride is set to match, so you reach the grounds in good shape to enjoy that first afternoon.
The trip begins at the door you name in West Palm Beach — your hotel, home, or another address in South Florida. Your chauffeur arrives at the agreed time, loads the luggage, and settles everyone in before pulling away. There is no airport line, no flight to track, and no parking to sort once you reach the resort. One driver and one vehicle stay with your group the whole way, so nothing is transferred and no one waits at a curb midway.
From West Palm Beach the route runs about 160 miles north, up Florida’s Turnpike and then onto I-4 toward the Grande Lakes entrance. Off-peak, the door-to-door drive comes in around two and a half hours; busy Fridays, holiday weekends, and park-event days can add a little time. A single optional comfort stop for restrooms or a snack fits easily into the long run, and your bags come out at the lobby where the driver first loaded them.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
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.
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.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
SUV limpia, recogida fácil en West Palm Beach y un conductor que sabía exactamente dónde quedaba the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes Resort. Lo reservaría de nuevo. Pedimos una recogida temprano para aprovechar el primer día, y el conductor esperaba afuera como prometió.
So glad we didn’t rent a car. Clean van, great driver, we arrived rested. Pickup was at the address we gave in West Palm Beach, no waiting around.
A group of us were in West Palm Beach for a bachelorette weekend and booked one private van up to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes Resort. The driver dropped us right at the entrance of the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes Resort, not a step further than needed. Pickup was at the house where we were staying in West Palm Beach, exactly when agreed.
Our family of five needed to get from West Palm Beach to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes Resort with a stroller and way too much luggage, and one private van handled it all. We just relaxed the whole way up from West Palm Beach — so much better than white-knuckling the Turnpike.
We wanted an easy day between West Palm Beach and the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes Resort for the two of us, and a private transfer was exactly that. We were out of West Palm Beach without a single delay, no last-second changes. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — which made the long drive to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes Resort easy and calm.
