From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Orlando to Carillon Miami Wellness Resort 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.
Carillon Miami Wellness Resort is an oceanfront wellness and spa destination on Miami Beach, and it makes a quiet counterpoint to the busy theme-park days behind you. The whole place is built around recovery rather than noise, so instead of another crowded stretch you step into ocean air, unhurried dining, and pools that invite you to slow down. For a group coming off long days on their feet in Central Florida, that shift in pace is the point.
The resort sits along the upper Miami Beach oceanfront, a residential, beach-forward stretch rather than a packed entertainment strip. That location gives you the sand and a calm rhythm right at the door, while the wider Miami Beach scene — restaurants, shops, and the water — stays a short reach away whenever you feel like venturing out. The draw here is the coastline itself and the spa, not the hustle around it.
What you find on arrival is a property centered on its spa, with thermal and hydrotherapy circuits, fitness studios, and a long sweep of beachfront. Guests come for beach time, oceanfront dining, and the resort’s restorative programs, with the ocean only a few steps from the room. Your chauffeur brings you straight to the entrance, so the change from park energy to beach calm happens without a single logistics headache — no rental counter, no parking deck, no scramble at the curb. You simply step out of the vehicle and into the quiet you drove down for.
The trip starts wherever you are in the Orlando area — a resort lobby, a vacation rental, a private home, or another address you share when you book. Your chauffeur arrives at the agreed time, loads every bag into the black SUV or climate-controlled van, and confirms the destination before pulling away. From there it is one dedicated driver and one vehicle for the whole run, with no handoffs and no waiting on another car.
The route heads south on Florida’s Turnpike into South Florida, covering about 232 road miles, roughly 4.1 hours off-peak with a smooth flow. Add a brief comfort stop when you book — a restroom, a snack, a quick stretch — and it changes nothing about your flat rate. The driver manages traffic, tolls, and turns while your group settles in, and the same vehicle carries you all the way to the door of Carillon Miami Wellness Resort.
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.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
Late is fine: the SUV night fee is $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 outside them for pickups between 9 PM and 7 AM. A stop on the route runs $45 per 30 minutes, and the first child seat or booster is included, with each additional one at $20.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
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.
We came with a group of friends and wanted everyone and the luggage in one private ride from Orlando down to Carillon Miami Wellness Resort instead of a convoy of rentals. Booking was quick, we got everything confirmed ahead of time, and it all lined up perfectly.
Mover a todos nosotros y las maletas de Orlando hasta Carillon Miami Wellness Resort suele ser un lío — una van reservada lo hizo sin esfuerzo. La bajada por la Turnpike fue resuelta de principio a fin, y ni pensamos en el tráfico ni una vez.
My partner and I weren’t about to take on the Turnpike ourselves, so we arranged a private ride from our resort in Orlando straight down to Carillon Miami Wellness Resort. The driver dropped us straight at the lobby of Carillon Miami Wellness Resort, right where the bell staff were. The fare was fixed and agreed when we booked — exactly what we were quoted, which for a long trip like this we really appreciated.
Nuestra familia necesitaba bajar de Orlando hasta Carillon Miami Wellness Resort con todas las maletas, y una sola van privada pudo con todo. La recogida fue justo en la puerta de nuestro hotel en Orlando, a la hora exacta.
Didn’t feel like a long drive south on my own, so I booked a private SUV from my hotel in Orlando to Carillon Miami Wellness Resort and just sat back. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — Orlando to Carillon Miami Wellness Resort without touching a steering wheel.
