From $600 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, flat fare, black SUV or van, door to door.
Each rate below is the full price for the whole vehicle to the hotel, fixed the moment you reserve and unchanged by traffic or the time you land. Pick the tier that matches your group and luggage.
Curbside pickup at Miami International Airport comes with the ride. The driver watches your inbound flight in real time, so the black SUV or van is already at the arrivals curb as you walk out with your bags — no app to open, no line to join. Prefer to be met inside? A name-sign greeting at baggage claim can be added for $40, while meet and greet at the curb is part of the standard service. One message on WhatsApp settles the exact spot before you land.
Loews Portofino Bay Hotel is an Italian-themed resort built to echo a seaside village on the Ligurian coast, with pastel buildings, cobbled piazzas and a harbor promenade, all set inside Universal Orlando Resort. It stands a short walk from the major theme parks and the dining-and-entertainment district at the core of the complex, which is why families settle in for park days here rather than heading into any downtown. The setting is resort-and-attractions ground, so most guests stay near the pools, the piazzas and the on-site restaurants. The driver pulls up at the property’s own arrival region, leaving nothing to sort out once you reach.
The run from MIA to Loews Portofino Bay Hotel measures 232.5 miles, about 374.2 kilometers, and most of it is steady highway on Florida’s Turnpike, the road that ties South Florida to the Orlando region. Off-peak, the drive lands near 235 minutes door to door; when departure-time traffic builds it stretches toward 241. The minutes that move are mainly the opening miles around Miami and the interchanges as you near Orlando, where local volume adds a little. Since the fare is set in advance, a slower stretch never changes the number — the quote holds at 235 minutes or 241.
