From $600 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes, driven door to door.
The rate below is charged per vehicle, not per seat, and it locks the moment you reserve. Pick the tier that fits your headcount and luggage, and the figure holds whatever the traffic does on the way north.
Pickup happens curbside outside Miami International Airport. Share your flight number when you book and the driver follows the inbound arrival, so the vehicle is already in position as you clear baggage claim, with no app to open and no rideshare lot to search. Bags go straight into the car and the drive to the resort begins right there. A curbside meet-and-greet is part of the standard service; if you would rather be greeted at baggage claim with a name sign in hand, that option can be added for $20, set up before your travel day.
JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes sits at the south end of the city, built around golf, a spa and its dining rooms rather than any street grid. The grounds run across lakes and fairways and take in a championship golf course, a full spa and pools shared across the property, the kind of self-contained setting where a guest rarely needs to leave. Just past the gates lies Orlando’s tourism corridor, with theme parks, outlet shopping and convention halls a short drive along the main arterials. One detail worth knowing: the complex holds two hotels — the Ritz-Carlton alongside the JW Marriott — and each one uses a separate arrival drive. Name the JW Marriott outright on the booking and the driver takes the correct entrance instead of circling the campus. The drop-off lands at the main doors, so check-in is only a few steps away once the ride up from Miami ends.
The trip covers 226 miles — 363.8 kilometres for anyone booking from Brazil or Europe — and nearly all of it rides on Florida’s Turnpike, a limited-access toll road that carries the Miami-to-Orlando leg with no surface-street stops. Plan on roughly 226 minutes in light traffic and about 232 at the busier end, so a bit less than four hours from curb to entrance. The two figures sit only about six minutes apart because open highway makes up so much of the distance; Miami’s rush hour reaches only the first stretch out of town. Pad the schedule if a check-in slot or a dinner reservation is waiting at JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes. The Turnpike’s service plazas mean you can ask the driver to pull in for a comfort stop whenever you like.
A deposit of 50% locks the reservation, and the remaining balance goes straight to the driver on travel day. Each fare is one flat figure for the whole vehicle, so nobody in the party pays by the head. Pricing is quoted one-way; a round trip is just twice that figure, and both legs can be arranged in a single message so one driver and a fixed pickup time cover the outbound run and the return to MIA. Confirm your payment method when you reserve, and keep the WhatsApp thread handy for any last-minute change to the timing.
Daytime service runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with no added charge. A pickup scheduled outside that window carries a night fee on the SUV of $20 for trips within Miami-Dade and Broward, rising to $50 for trips that reach beyond those two counties. If the plan calls for an added stop en route, extra time is billed at $45 for each 30 minutes. Share the pickup hour when you book and any night fee is stated up front rather than sprung at the curb.
Tolls, fuel and every SunPass charge are folded into the quoted rate, so the driver never pulls over to pay and nothing extra lands at drop-off. The vehicle stays climate-controlled for the full run to the resort, and the curbside meet-and-greet comes as standard. A child seat can be added for $20, so pass along the ages and how many you need in advance. Small pets are welcome with notice on WhatsApp when they ride inside a carrier.
The inbound flight is tracked in real time once you share the number, so an early or delayed landing simply shifts the pickup to match. There is no rebooking step and no penalty for the change. You come out of baggage claim and the vehicle is already at the curb, ready for the drive north to Grande Lakes.
By the vehicle, every time. The whole party rides for the single flat figure shown above, whether that is the SUV or one of the larger vans, and the total does not move with how many seats fill up. A private van seating 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 is held for your group alone, with nobody else aboard and no extra stops to collect strangers on the way.
The rate allows for one checked bag and a carry-on for each passenger, while the larger vans hold considerably more for bigger groups. If you are travelling with oversized or extra pieces, flag it on WhatsApp beforehand so the space is confirmed or a bigger vehicle is assigned. That way everything rides with you to JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes rather than trailing behind in a second car.
Because the complex hosts both the JW Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton, each with its own arrival drive, naming the JW Marriott outright on the booking makes the difference. The driver then heads to the correct entrance at the end of the northbound run rather than doubling back across the grounds. The drop-off lands at the main hotel doors, so check-in is a short walk away.

Send the travel date, your flight number, how many are riding and which vehicle you want over WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748, and the driver and pickup time are confirmed by return message.

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.
So glad we pre-booked. No taxi line, clean car, and a great driver. Our flight came in late and the driver was still there waiting — not a worry at all.
After a red-eye, the last thing we wanted was to hunt for a car — so glad we booked the transfer to JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes. We were picked up right on time, no delays. The driver was happy to speak English or Spanish, which made the whole thing that much easier.
Traveling alone, I didn’t want any hassle coming out of Miami Airport, and this couldn’t have been easier. Traveling on my own, I felt completely at ease from arrivals all the way to JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes. Landing late at night, it was a huge comfort to have a private car already waiting instead of hunting for a ride.
No soporto el caos de buscar un rideshare al salir de MIA, así que reservé un auto privado a JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes.
Smooth ride, friendly driver, one fixed fare. No complaints at all. Our flight came in late and the driver had been tracking it — no extra charge, nothing to sort out.
