From $610 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Orlando to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Select by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Offer 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 journey 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.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a small, easygoing beach town on the South Florida coast, and the peaceful is the whole point. After the crowds and constant motion of the Orlando theme parks that numerous of our travelers have just left, you step out into a quiet, salt-air place that is built around its shoreline instead of around gates and lines. It is walkable and low-key, the kind of town where the day slows down the moment you reach.
The beach is the reason people come, and it does not ask much of you. A long fishing pier reaches out over the water, and a living reef sits close enough to snorkel straight from the sand, so the ocean is part of the town rather than a drive away. The main street runs tidy and unhurried along the coast, lined with casual, oceanfront places to eat and pass an afternoon.
Because everything sits close together, there is little you need a car for once your chauffeur has dropped you off. You can leave the vehicle behind and settle into the town’s own rhythm, walking from your door to the pier, the water, and the shops without a plan. For a family or a group coming off the high energy of Central Florida, that is the appeal: a peaceful counterpoint on the water where the biggest decision is which stretch of sand to claim. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea trades the theme-park pace for the sound of the surf, and it holds onto that quiet the whole time you are there.
Your day begins wherever you are staying in the Orlando area. Your chauffeur comes to the exact address you offer us, whether that is a downtown Orlando hotel, a resort near the theme parks, a vacation home in Lake Buena Vista or Kissimmee, or a pickup arranged from Orlando International Airport when you book. The bags go into the vehicle at the door, your group settles in, and the same driver stays with you from the first mile to the last.
From there it is a private run south, roughly 209 miles down Florida’s Turnpike and the I-95 corridor into South Florida, about three and a half hours when traffic is light. There is no rental counter, no toll booth to fumble, and no shared stops to collect other travelers along the way. If you would like a planned break during the drive, just add it when you book. The ride ends at the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea address you name, delivered right to your door.

Every policy in full: FAQ
Didn’t feel like a long drive south on my own, so I booked a private SUV from Orlando to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea and let someone else handle the road. I was just getting home to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea after the park days, and having someone drive the whole way beat every other option.
Viajando com a família toda, eu não ia dirigir a Turnpike com o carro cheio de malas, então reservei uma van privativa do nosso resort em Orlando até Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Sinceramente a parte mais fácil da viagem toda — o trajeto inteiro resolvido. Estávamos voltando para casa em Lauderdale-by-the-Sea depois da semana em Orlando, e ter alguém dirigindo o caminho todo foi a melhor escolha da viagem.
Booked this for myself to get home to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea after a few days at the parks with zero driving, and it could not have been easier. It was a private van just for me — no one else’s stops — which made the long drive down to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea relaxed. I was just getting home to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea after the week in Orlando, and having someone drive the whole way was easily the best call of the trip.
We came as a group and wanted everyone and the luggage in one private ride from Orlando down to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea instead of splitting into cars. It is a long way down and we actually enjoyed it — good conversation when we wanted it and quiet when we didn’t. We caught up on messages the whole way down from Orlando — worth it compared to driving it ourselves.
After a week in Orlando we booked a private car to carry us and the bags down to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea — no rental, no return, no stress. We were out of Orlando without a single delay, no phone tag. Rolling up to our place in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea door to door meant we could drop the bags and start the visit.
