From $600 per vehicle — a private one-way transfer from MIA to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes.
Every fare below is the whole-vehicle price for a private door-to-door ride, fixed the moment you reserve and untouched by traffic, demand or the number of seats you fill.
Once your flight lands, the driver is waiting curbside in the pickup zone just beyond baggage claim, so there is no app to open and no rideshare line to join. Meet-and-greet comes with the booking: the driver’s name and number reach you ahead of arrival, and you confirm the spot over WhatsApp before stepping out. Prefer to be greeted at the arrivals hall with your name on a placard? That name-sign pickup adds $20 and gets set up when you reserve. From the curb the bags go in and the vehicle turns north toward the resort.
A late inbound flight changes nothing about the price. The driver tracks your flight’s real arrival and simply moves the curbside meeting to match, whether you touch down early or hours behind the timetable. There is no fresh booking to make and no surge tacked on at the curb — the price you agreed to holds no matter when the wheels finally touch down.
Plan on about 235 minutes in light traffic and up to 241 when the roads are hectic — just under four hours across the full 236.5 miles. Leaving MIA, the route climbs north on Florida’s Turnpike, a controlled-access toll road that holds a steady pace over the long Central Florida stretch. The extra minutes at peak come from thicker volume where the highway leaves Miami and again on the final stretch into Orlando. A mid-morning departure usually sits at the lighter end of that band, and the driver reads conditions live to pick the cleanest lanes for the run.
The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes spreads across a wide, planted estate on Orlando’s south side, sharing a campus with a neighboring hotel and a full championship golf course. There is no street grid to speak of; the grounds are arranged around a spa, a run of pools, a lazy river and long stretches of lawn, which keeps the mood quiet and green. The estate falls inside the Orlando visitor belt that also holds the big theme parks and the convention halls, so it suits a park trip, a golf weekend or a business stay. Room, dining and activity details live on the Ritz-Carlton Orlando overview and the Grande Lakes rooms guide. Drop-off is at the main lobby entrance, so the long drive ends at the door rather than a distant lot.
The single price carries you from the airport curb all the way to the resort door, and it already absorbs what the highway costs en route. Fuel, tolls and the SunPass charges are folded in, so the driver clears the electronic lanes with nothing to settle. The reserved black SUV or van, the bilingual driver and a mobile WiFi hotspot to keep you online across the four-hour run all fall inside that base price, and there is room for a checked bag and a carry-on per traveler. A short list of items sits outside the fare and is confirmed at booking: each child seat is $20, an added stop runs $45 per 30 minutes, and oversized or surplus bags may call for a larger van. Traveling with a small pet is fine too, as long as it rides in a carrier and you flag it on WhatsApp beforehand.
Standard hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM with no added charge. A pickup outside that window carries a night fee that depends on the vehicle: the black SUV adds $20 within Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 for destinations beyond them, which covers this Orlando run, while the vans add 10% of the trip value. The fee is quoted up front when you book, so nothing is a surprise at the curb.
The fare splits into a deposit and a balance. Half is paid at booking to hold the vehicle for your arrival window, and the other half goes to the driver on your journey day. Everything is priced per vehicle for the whole group, never per head, so a lone traveler and a packed van are billed by the same rule. Booking both directions doubles that one-way figure, set up together so the same class of vehicle waits for your return trip to the airport.
On a 236-mile haul the coordination is the whole point. One named driver, one confirmed vehicle and one agreed price carry the leg from the airport curb to the resort lobby, with nothing left to a last-minute dispatch. Each driver speaks English alongside Spanish or Portuguese, so questions on the road are easy to sort out, and booking or changes go straight through WhatsApp instead of an automated queue. The group rides alone — no shared seats, no detours to collect strangers — the whole way from the terminal to the front door.
Every booking is fully private. Only your party rides — no strangers and no extra pickups along the way. From the MIA curb to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes entrance, the SUV or van belongs to your group for the entire drive north.
The black SUV seats up to five and suits couples or small families with standard bags. The smaller van takes six to nine, and the larger van holds ten to fourteen — the pick for big families or groups moving together. Each class is held end to end, and the better fit is flagged before you book if your group sits close to a cutoff.
Yes. Child seats are fitted before the curbside meeting at $20 apiece — just tell the driver your kids’ ages and the number of seats over WhatsApp when you book. Each one is installed in your vehicle before the driver heads out, so the family can buckle up the moment you reach the curb.
Figure on a checked bag and a carry-on for every passenger, which fills the SUV comfortably at five and still leaves the vans room to spare. Carrying extra or oversized pieces? Flag it on WhatsApp before the day, and either the room is confirmed or you step up to a bigger van, so nothing gets left to follow on a later trip.
Yes. The same private SUVs and vans also run onward to Orlando International Airport and to the Central Florida cruise ports, so a fly-in-then-sail plan or a park stay that finishes at a different gateway can journey on one booking. Give the date, party size and both ends over WhatsApp, and the vehicle, driver and quote come back in writing for each leg.
Ready to set the MIA pickup for the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes? Message the driver on WhatsApp or call 786-682-8748 with your flight number, date, party size and any child-seat needs, and the vehicle and flat rate come back confirmed.
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.
Your driver meets you at the MIA arrivals level at the curb, and that meet-and-greet is included in the fare. If you would rather be greeted inside the terminal with a name sign, add the name-sign welcome for $20 when you book.
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, a name-sign welcome, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
