From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Orlando to the Elser Hotel & Residences in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
The Elser Hotel & Residences is a glass tower that rises along the bayfront in downtown Miami, standing only steps from the water and the walkable heart of the city. It blends hotel rooms with private residences, so the building carries the ease of a real home alongside the service of a place to stay. From its higher floors the views open out across Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline, giving arriving travelers a sense of the water the moment they settle in.
The setting puts you at the center of things. Biscayne Bay spreads out front, and Bayfront Park sits close by, along with the open-air marketplace on the bay and the cluster of museums and cultural venues that line the boulevard. A short hop south lands you in Brickell, the financial and dining quarter, which means green space, shopping, restaurants and the skyline all sit within easy reach of the door. It is a dense, walkable stretch, easy to explore on foot once you have arrived.
For anyone moving between the Orlando parks and South Florida, the Elser works as a polished urban base with bay views — a comfortable bookend to a theme-park trip where you can unwind either side of the long drive. When your chauffeur reaches the address, the vehicle pulls right up to the entrance, so you and your bags land at the door rather than a distant curb. Families and groups find plenty within a few blocks, and the waterfront promenades and evening options keep the neighborhood lively from morning through night.
The ride begins wherever you are staying in the Orlando area — a hotel, a resort near the parks, a vacation home, or any address you give us, with an Orlando International Airport pickup arranged when you book. Your chauffeur arrives at the agreed time, loads the luggage, and sets off. The same driver and the same vehicle stay with your party the whole way, so there are no transfers and no waiting between cars along the route.
From there it is a steady run south, covering about 232 miles down Florida’s Turnpike and I-95 into South Florida. The drive holds a predictable rhythm on the open highway, and your bags travel with you the entire distance. If you would like to break the trip — a meal or a quick stretch — a planned stop can be added when you book. The drive ends at the Elser Hotel & Residences, where the vehicle pulls up to the entrance and you step out at the door.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. The first child seat or booster is included; each additional one is $20. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
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.
We finished the park days in Orlando and had the beach half booked at the Elser Hotel & Residences, and one private van was the easiest way to move everyone. The SUV was clean, cool, and comfortable, with plenty of room to stretch out.
Para o nosso aniversário fizemos primeiro os parques em Orlando e depois the Elser Hotel & Residences, e como não queríamos passar o dia dirigindo, reservamos uma SUV privativa. O restante da tarifa pagamos ao motorista no final, sem nada a mais. A viagem de Orlando até the Elser Hotel & Residences foi suave e constante, e chegamos sem nenhum cansaço.
After a week in Orlando we booked a private car to carry us and the bags down to the Elser Hotel & Residences — no rental, no return, no stress. Getting to the Elser Hotel & Residences with no detours meant we could drop the bags and start the beach half. After a week of early mornings 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 the Elser Hotel & Residences was the best part.
Booked a private van for the family from Orlando down to the Elser Hotel & Residences so the kids could just crash after the week we’d had instead of us stressing at the wheel. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — which made the long drive down to the Elser Hotel & Residences relaxed.
The two of us finished our week in Orlando and booked a private car down to the Elser Hotel & Residences so we could just relax on the way. Getting to the Elser Hotel & Residences rested and on time meant we could drop the bags and start the beach half.
