From $590 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Fort Lauderdale to Margaritaville Resort Orlando 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 Fort Lauderdale 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.
Margaritaville Resort Orlando is a large resort set in the Kissimmee area, out near the theme parks that draw most visitors north. It is not a single building but a spread-out property, pairing a central hotel tower with standalone cottages and villas across the grounds. That mix is worth picturing before you arrive, because the scale of the place shapes how your day ends once the drive is over.
What catches most first-time guests off guard is that a resort this size rarely keeps one front desk. The hotel tower typically has its own check-in point, while the cottages and villas are handled at a separate one. If a rental manager arranged your stay rather than the resort itself, there may even be a third desk to report to. Your booking confirmation names the exact spot you belong at, which is the detail that decides how smooth the last few minutes go.
That is why we ask you to pass that desk name along when you reserve. With it in hand, your chauffeur drives straight to the right entrance instead of stopping at a general lobby and leaving you to haul bags across the property in search of the correct counter. You step out where your key is waiting. For a family arriving after several hours on the road, with children and park gear in tow, landing at the exact door named on the confirmation is the difference between a tidy arrival and a long walk with luggage.
The trip begins wherever you name in Fort Lauderdale — a house, a hotel, an office. Your chauffeur arrives at the agreed time, loads the luggage into the vehicle, and everyone rides together in one car the whole way. There is no airport, no rental counter, and no parking deck to deal with at either end. The driver carries the route north while you do nothing but settle in, and the same person stays with you door to door, with no handoff partway through.
Plan on roughly 3.6 to 3.7 hours for the run up to Margaritaville Resort Orlando, depending on the time of day you leave. A quiet midday departure lands nearer the shorter end; heading out into an afternoon rush pushes it longer. Because the fare is fixed when you book, a slow stretch of traffic never changes the price. If you are timing your arrival to a check-in slot or a park reservation, tell us the moment you need to be there and we set the pickup by counting backward from it.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
One child seat or booster is included when you book, and each additional one is $20. Night service, meaning 9 PM to 7 AM, adds $20 to the SUV inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. Extra stops are metered at $45 per 30 minutes.
The black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
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.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the 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. 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.
Mi esposa y yo no íbamos a manejar la Turnpike, así que reservamos un viaje privado de Fort Lauderdale directo a Margaritaville Resort Orlando. El conductor cargó cada maleta para que no tuviéramos que batallar con nada. Nos recogieron sin un solo retraso en Fort Lauderdale, sin cambios de último momento.
Perfect way to link the beach and the parks — couldn’t recommend it more. We set an early pickup so we could beat the traffic north, and the driver was right on time.
Mi esposa y yo no íbamos a manejar la Turnpike, así que reservamos un viaje privado de Fort Lauderdale directo a Margaritaville Resort Orlando. El conductor nos dejó justo en la entrada de Margaritaville Resort Orlando, con las maletas abajo, listas para el check-in. La SUV estaba limpia, fresca y cómoda, y el aire frío todo el camino.
Tras unos días en Fort Lauderdale reservamos un auto privado para subir con las maletas hasta Margaritaville Resort Orlando — puerta a puerta. El conductor nos dejó en las puertas principales de Margaritaville Resort Orlando, ni un paso de más.
Traveling with three kids, I was NOT going to drive the Turnpike loaded with luggage, so I booked a private van from our hotel in Fort Lauderdale to Margaritaville Resort Orlando.
