From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Quality Suites Universal South in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, a name-sign pickup adds $20, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Quality Suites Universal South sits at 9350 Turkey Lake Road in Orlando, tucked into the corridor that most visitors simply call I-Drive. International Drive is the city’s main tourist artery, and the property lands you right in the middle of it, with attractions, outlet malls, and the convention center lined up end to end within easy reach. It is an all-suites hotel, so the room you walk into after a long travel day gives you a little more space to spread out than a standard box.
The location does a lot of the work. Universal Orlando Resort is close by, and so is ICON Park, the cluster of rides, restaurants, and the tall observation wheel that anchors this stretch of the drive. The Orange County Convention Center is nearby for anyone in town on business, and SeaWorld Orlando rounds out the list of neighbors. Being planted on International Drive means you are rarely more than a short hop from wherever the day is headed, whether that is a theme park gate, a shopping run, or dinner.
When you arrive, the driver brings you straight to the door and helps the bags out of the vehicle. For the details that belong to the property itself, such as room types, on-site parking, and check-in timing, the front desk and the hotel’s own channels are the ones to ask. Your part is simpler: step out of the car at the entrance with your luggage already handled and the address behind you settled.
This is one clean, direct leg. After you disembark at PortMiami and clear the terminal, your driver is already staged at the curb, waiting on you rather than the other way around. The bags go into the vehicle at the terminal, and from there it is a single run north on Florida’s Turnpike to Quality Suites Universal South. No mid-trip transfers, no second pickup, no luggage-drag across the port.
The route covers roughly 233 miles and normally takes 232 to 241 minutes, so plan on a long but straightforward drive. You set the pace inside the vehicle, and the terminal-to-hotel path is one continuous ride door to door. When you pull up at 9350 Turkey Lake Road, the driver helps the luggage out at the entrance, and the trip ends exactly where you booked it to end, with your group the only passengers the whole way.
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.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. A child seat is $15 on request, and any added stop is $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.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
We cruised with a group of friends and wanted all of us and the bags in one private ride to Quality Suites Universal South after disembarking. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled. The fare was fixed when we booked, nothing added at the curb.
Cruising with the family, we didn’t want any disembarkation-day chaos, so a private van straight over to Quality Suites Universal South made the day.
The two of us cruised from PortMiami and having a private car meet us at the terminal for the ride over to Quality Suites Universal South was the best part of the day. We were dropped straight at the door of Quality Suites Universal South, not across the street. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — everything just fell into place at the terminal.
There were nine of us stepping off at PortMiami, and one private transfer to Quality Suites Universal South was far simpler than splitting into cars. The ride from the terminal to Quality Suites Universal South was quiet and relaxed, and we could just settle in. We got a clear confirmation, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
Para um desembarque sem estresse, meu marido e eu combinamos de um motorista privativo nos esperar no terminal de cruzeiros e nos levar até Quality Suites Universal South. Uma passagem fácil e tranquila para nós dois — do navio até Quality Suites Universal South sem nada para resolver. Sinceramente a parte mais tranquila da viagem — do navio até a porta do hotel sem estresse. Obrigado pela passagem tão tranquila!
