From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Orlando to Islands Inn on the Drive in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
The driver comes to your hotel, resort, vacation home or address in the Orlando area 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.
Islands Inn on the Drive is a private-transfer destination in Wilton Manors, one of the tight-knit towns that make up the greater Fort Lauderdale area on Florida’s southeast coast. It sits well south of Orlando, down where the state narrows toward the Atlantic and the pace shifts from theme-park corridors to walkable neighborhood streets. When you book with us, it is simply the address at the end of a long, quiet drive — the door where your chauffeur unloads the bags and your trip is done.
Wilton Manors sits just inland from the Fort Lauderdale coastline, close enough to the beaches, dining, and waterways that draw people to this stretch of South Florida, yet set back into a calmer residential grid. Reaching it from Central Florida means a run down I-95 toward the coast, so the inn makes a natural base for travelers who want to be near Fort Lauderdale without landing in the middle of its busiest blocks. The surrounding area is easy to move around once you have settled in.
On arrival, there is no rental counter to clear and no parking to sort out. Your driver brings you straight to the entrance of Islands Inn on the Drive, lifts the luggage from the vehicle, and hands you the door — the same person who greeted you in Orlando hours earlier. Because the fare was locked when you booked, nothing is settled curbside and nothing is metered along the way. You step out of a climate-controlled cabin rested rather than worn down by the highway, ready to check in and start your time in South Florida on your own terms.
It starts at your door in the Orlando area — a resort lobby by the parks, a vacation home in Kissimmee, a downtown hotel, or an MCO pickup arranged when you book. Your chauffeur arrives at the agreed time, loads every bag into the vehicle, and settles the group in for the ride. From there it is one steady run south on Florida’s Turnpike or I-95, about 232 miles toward the South Florida coast, with the same driver at the wheel the whole way.
Plan on roughly three and a half hours in light traffic, more on holiday weekends or a hectic Friday afternoon. The cabin stays climate-controlled from the first mile to the last, and one short comfort stop for a restroom or a snack fits effortlessly into the route when you add it at booking. There is no shuffle of vehicles and no shared seats — just a single private drive that ends at the door of Islands Inn on the Drive in Wilton Manors.
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 assist with every bag. Extras such as a night pickup are priced separately and listed below.
The fare is paid in full at booking. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
Night surcharge: on rides priced up to $400, pickups between 9 PM and 7 AM add $20 for the SUV; on rides priced above $400 the night window starts at 6 PM and adds $50. Vans add 10% of their fare. One stop of up to 30 minutes is included.
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.
Up to 24 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.

We primarily work with curbside pickup. Just send a message with your exit gate and the driver will arrive in a few minutes — usually faster than the traditional sign-holding service.
If you prefer the driver to wait inside the terminal with a sign bearing your name, add the Meet & Greet for US$ 40 when you book — available for airport pickups only.
The day before your trip, we’ll send you a message with the driver’s name, vehicle model, and license plate, along with detailed instructions for curbside pickup.
Don’t worry. We’ll send you a message as soon as your flight lands. If we don’t receive a quick reply, the driver will automatically head to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll find you.
For domestic flights, we offer up to 60 minutes of wait time after arrival.
For international flights, the courtesy time is up to 120 minutes.
For hotel pickups, there’s a 15-minute grace period.
For port pickups, we wait up to 60 minutes past the agreed time.
Two hours is the free wait for international flights. When your free waiting time ends, extra waiting is not automatic: your driver may text you an offer to keep waiting, but is not required to. If the offer is sent, the driver waits up to 10 minutes for your reply; if you don’t accept in that time, the driver may leave. If no offer is sent, the driver may leave once your free waiting time is over.
Yes. Our drivers help load and unload your bags.
The standard allowance includes one large suitcase and one carry-on per person.
Traveling with larger or additional items — extra suitcases, musical instruments, mobility equipment, or strollers? Contact us in advance so we can arrange the necessary space. An additional fee may apply.
We’re sorry — pets are not accepted on any of our services. Certified service animals are welcome: please tell us in advance and we’ll assign a van for the ride.
We ask that you don’t eat during the trip. Only water in sealed bottles is allowed on board.
One stop of up to 30 minutes is included.
Yes. The pickup time and other details (an extra passenger) can be changed until 24 hours before the ride, depending on availability. Within 24 hours of the ride there are no changes and no refunds — message us on WhatsApp and we’ll see what we can do. The travel date itself is fixed once booked.
No hidden fees: the quoted price includes the driver, fuel and tolls. Only optional extras add to it — the night-hours fee shown in your quote before you book, the optional Meet & Greet at Miami International Airport and the 4% processing fee on card payments made through the payment link. Driver gratuity is optional and at your discretion; it’s always welcome.
You get a full refund if you cancel more than 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. Within 24 hours of the ride, the booking is non-refundable.
Note: any refund claim — including a driver no-show or another service issue — must reach us within 30 days of your scheduled pickup. Requests made more than a month after the ride date are no longer eligible for review or refund.
The two of us finished the park days in Orlando and booked a private car down to Islands Inn on the Drive so we could skip the rental. The run down the Turnpike was steady and easy, and we didn’t have to watch the road at all. The fare was fixed and agreed when we booked — nothing added at the end, which for a long trip like this we really appreciated.
Booked a private van for the family from Orlando down to Islands Inn on the Drive so the kids could watch their shows after the week we’d had instead of us stressing at the wheel. After our resort week in Orlando, the last thing we wanted was a rental car and a long drive, so being able to sleep most of the way down to Islands Inn on the Drive was the best part.
We finished the park days in Orlando and had the beach half booked at Islands Inn on the Drive, and one private van made the switch painless. The car was roomy enough for everything, and the AC stayed cold the whole way. We settled the rest with the driver at the end, exactly as agreed.
Moving all of us and the bags from Orlando down to Islands Inn on the Drive is usually a headache — one pre-booked van made it effortless. There was room for everyone for the whole group and all our luggage in one van down to Islands Inn on the Drive.
Our family of four needed to get from Orlando down to Islands Inn on the Drive with the whole pile of suitcases, and one private van handled it all. We got a message the morning of confirming the pickup time in Orlando, and the car was right outside — nothing to chase.
