From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Fort Lauderdale to Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort 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.
Tell us where in Fort Lauderdale to collect you and when. The driver plans the route to the resort, arrives ahead of the agreed time, loads the bags and drives the whole way with your party only. Stops on the way are welcome when you add them to the booking.
Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort is one of Universal Orlando’s on-property hotels, sitting inside the Orlando theme-park world that draws families from all over. Because it belongs to the resort complex rather than a stretch of highway somewhere out of town, it puts you close to the gates you actually came to reach, which is exactly what matters when the plan revolves around early park mornings and full days out.
The location is what makes it worth the drive. You leave your address in Fort Lauderdale, your chauffeur points the vehicle up Florida’s Turnpike and onto I-4 toward Orlando, and the ride ends at the resort door rather than at a distant lot with your bags to sort out. For travelers arriving from abroad, the bilingual chauffeur handles the pickup and drop-off in English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so setting the details takes no fuss.
On arrival you step out at the entrance, luggage is unloaded for you, and check-in is the next thing on your list. Families chasing the first park openings tend to time everything around this moment, so we work backward from the arrival you name to set the pickup that gets you there with room to spare. Peak days, holiday weekends and headline theme-park dates put more cars on I-4, and the flat rate stays put through all of it, which means the last hour of a busy afternoon costs you nothing extra. What you find at the end is the calm of being dropped exactly where you meant to be, with the whole leg already handled and only Orlando ahead of you.
The ride is door to door from the start. Your chauffeur arrives at the agreed time at your Fort Lauderdale hotel, home or address, waiting for you rather than the other way around. Bags go into the vehicle, the cabin temperature is set the way you like it, and the vehicle pulls away with your group alone aboard. Nobody else is collected and no detours are added, so the whole leg belongs to you from pickup to the resort entrance.
From there the chauffeur takes Florida’s Turnpike and joins I-4 toward Orlando, a run of roughly three and a half hours door to door, with the busier afternoon stretches nudging it toward the longer end. The drive is the chauffeur’s job; arriving rested is yours. If someone needs a restroom, a snack or a minute to stretch, one brief comfort stop is easy to arrange, and the flat rate does not move for it.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Estaba en un hotel pequeño en Fort Lauderdale y necesitaba subir a Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort para la siguiente parte del viaje, así que coordiné un auto privado. La tarifa fue fija y acordada al reservar — sin taxímetro, sin sorpresas, algo que en un viaje así agradecí mucho.
Qué bueno que no alquilamos auto. Van limpia, gran conductor, y llegamos con energía. El conductor era hablaba inglés y español sin problema, lo que hizo el viaje más ameno.
The two of us were visiting family in Fort Lauderdale before heading to Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort, and a private car was the easiest way to link the two. Pickup was at the address we gave in Fort Lauderdale, no waiting around.
Our whole group rode together from Fort Lauderdale straight to Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort, and it couldn’t have been easier. The driver was a safe, steady driver, so we could actually relax. The driver dropped us at the front doors of Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort, bags out and ready for check-in.
Booked a private van for the family from Fort Lauderdale up to Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort so the kids could nap instead of a cranky road trip. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — everything just worked.
