From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Miami Beach to Disney’s Contemporary Resort 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 Miami Beach 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 to the resort, 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.
Disney’s Contemporary Resort is one of the flagship hotels of the Walt Disney World region, and it may be the most recognizable of the group. The monorail glides straight through the middle of its tall A-frame atrium, a detail that has defined the property for decades. It sits on the shore of Bay Lake, tucked among the parks, restaurants, and resort areas that create up the Disney side of Orlando.
Because the hotel is both walkable and monorail-served, the largest park is within simple reach, which is a big part of why families planning several straight days at the parks tend to gravitate here. When your vehicle reaches the resort, it pauses briefly at the gatehouse, where the driver gives the name on your Disney reservation before continuing on to the main entrance to unload. Having that name ready keeps the stop short.
One naming detail is worth flagging before you travel. Bay Lake Tower stands next door as a separate building with its own drive and its own doors. If your confirmation reads Bay Lake Tower rather than the main tower or the Garden Wing, note that on your booking so the drop-off lands at the right entrance. Our ride ends at the resort door, leaving you to head straight into check-in or on toward the parks. If you want to review room types and current rates, those details live on Disney’s official page for the Contemporary, and you can look everything over well before your trip so nothing about the arrival catches you off guard.
The ride begins right where you are staying in South Florida. At the time you agree on, your chauffeur meets you at the door, loads the luggage, and points the vehicle north toward the Orlando region. There is no rental counter to clear, no parking deck to circle, and no separate legs to stitch together. One vehicle and one driver stay with your group for the entire run, from your South Florida door to the resort entrance, so nothing is pooled and no one is swapped in halfway.
Plan on roughly 4.2 to 4.4 hours behind the wheel, lighter in peaceful mid-morning windows and closer to the upper end on busy holiday and park-event days. If you have a firm check-in or an early park reservation, mention it when you book and we set a departure with a cushion built in. Your bags stay in the vehicle the whole way, and your bilingual driver handles the loading so your group can simply climb aboard.

Every policy in full: FAQ
So glad I didn’t rent a car. Clean van, great driver, I arrived rested. The driver dropped me straight at the lobby of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, right where the bell staff were.
The two of us were staying in Miami Beach before heading to Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and a private car made the switch seamless.
