From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Orlando to Plunge 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.
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.
Plunge Beach Resort is an oceanfront hotel set directly on the Atlantic sand in Lauderdale by the Sea, one of the calmer beach towns along South Florida’s coastline. It sits right where the shore meets the water, so the beach is not a walk or a drive away — it is the ground the building stands on. For a traveler coming down from Central Florida, that means the long day of driving ends the moment the wheels stop, with the open Atlantic already in front of you.
The setting is what gives this stretch of coast its easy pace. Lauderdale by the Sea keeps a small-town feel while sitting inside the larger South Florida beach region, and Plunge Beach Resort places you on the sand itself rather than a few blocks back from it. When your chauffeur pulls up at the entrance, you step straight into that beachfront address — luggage handled, the drive behind you, the ocean at hand.
Because your ride is booked door to door, there is no shuffle at the end of the trip. Your driver brings the group all the way to the Plunge Beach Resort entrance and unloads the bags there, so the last thing on your mind after four hours on the road is finding your way inside. You arrive rested and ready, with the beach, the water, and your room the only things left to think about — the driving and the route were someone else’s job the whole way down.
The ride begins wherever you are staying in the Orlando area — a hotel lobby, a resort in the theme-park corridors, a Lake Buena Vista or Kissimmee vacation home, a downtown Orlando address, or an Orlando International Airport (MCO) pickup arranged when you book. Your chauffeur meets the group at the agreed time and place, loads every bag, and stays with you for the whole trip. From there the route runs south, covering roughly 232 miles down Florida’s Turnpike and I-95 into South Florida in one dedicated vehicle.
There are no vehicle swaps and no waiting on other passengers — one driver, one cabin, the entire way. If the group wants a short break on the long stretch for the restroom, a snack, or to stretch, you can add a planned stop at booking and it does not change your fare. When Plunge Beach Resort comes into view, your driver brings you right to the Lauderdale by the Sea entrance and unloads the luggage there, so the trip ends exactly where you need it to.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
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.
One child seat or booster is included when you book, and each additional one is $20. Night service, meaning 9 PM to 7 AM, adds $20 to the SUV inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. Extra stops are metered at $45 per 30 minutes.
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.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
Our family of four needed to get from Orlando down to Plunge Beach Resort with the whole pile of suitcases, and one private van was perfect. We were picked up right on time, no waiting around.
We finished the theme-park week in Orlando and had the beach half booked at Plunge Beach Resort, and one private van made the switch painless. After our resort week in Orlando, the last thing we wanted was a rental car and a long drive, so being able to sit back and do nothing down to Plunge Beach Resort was the best part. We were picked up right on time, no phone tag.
I booked a private car from my hotel in Orlando down to Plunge Beach Resort instead of renting a car, and it was the right call. It was a private car just for me — no side pickups — which made the long drive down to Plunge Beach Resort easy and calm.
I finished the last of the meetings and wanted a door-to-door ride down to Plunge Beach Resort without the hassle. I watched the road go by the whole way down from Orlando — so much better than driving it myself.
After a week together in Orlando, the whole crew piled into one private van for the drive south to Plunge Beach Resort, and it turned out to be the easy part of the trip. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — which made the long drive down to Plunge Beach Resort actually enjoyable. The run down the Turnpike was handled from start to finish, and we didn’t have to watch the road at all.
