From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Orlando to Esmé Miami Beach Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
The driver comes to your hotel, resort, vacation home or address in the Orlando region at the agreed time, loads the bags and heads south with only your party on board. There is no counter, no shared van and no waiting for other passengers: the vehicle is yours from the door in Orlando to the destination in South Florida. A courtesy wait of 15 minutes is included at the pickup.
The Esmé Miami Beach Hotel sits at South Beach, in the city of Miami Beach on Florida’s southeastern coast — the same warm stretch of ocean and sand that pulls so many travelers down from Central Florida in the first place. It is a hotel rather than a resort, set in the middle of the South Beach neighborhood, which means the beach, the shops, and the walkable grid of the district are all close at hand the moment you step out the door.
When your driver reaches the end of the run, the vehicle pulls up to the hotel’s front entrance and your bags come out right there at the door. There is no long haul in from a distant lot and no parking to sort out on your own, because the drop-off happens at the building itself. After a long day on the road, the last stretch from the curb to the lobby is a short one, and it is handled for you.
South Beach is a place that rewards travelers who reach without a car to manage. Much of what draws people to Miami Beach sits within easy reach of the hotel, and with no rental to return and no meter to feed, you are free to settle in as soon as you reach. The Esmé puts you in the thick of it — near the sand and near the streets that offer South Beach its name — so the private ride down simply hands you off at the front door and leaves the rest of your journey wide open.
Your journey begins wherever you are staying in the Orlando region — a downtown hotel, a resort near the theme parks, a vacation home in Lake Buena Vista or Kissimmee, or an address you name. Your chauffeur arrives at the agreed time, loads the luggage into the vehicle, and the same car and driver stay with your group for the entire drive. An Orlando International Airport pickup can be arranged instead when you book.
From there the route runs south, roughly 232 miles down Florida’s Turnpike and I-95 into South Florida, ending at the front door of the Esmé Miami Beach Hotel. Off-peak the drive takes about four hours, though southbound holiday traffic can stretch it. If you would like a short stop along the way for a break, just add it when you reserve. There are no transfers and no vehicle swaps — one ride, curb to door.

Every policy in full: FAQ
My wife and I weren’t about to take on the Turnpike ourselves, so we arranged a private ride from our resort in Orlando straight down to Esmé Miami Beach Hotel. The run down the Turnpike was the smoothest part of the day, and we didn’t have to watch the road at all. After the theme-park days 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 Esmé Miami Beach Hotel was the best part.
