From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Hollywood to Loews Portofino Bay Hotel 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 Hollywood 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 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.
Loews Portofino Bay Hotel sits inside Universal Orlando Resort, in Orlando, which puts it right in the middle of everything a family comes north for. This is one of the on-site resort stays, so once you reach it you are already inside the Universal world rather than commuting in from somewhere else each morning. That location is the whole point for most of our passengers: the parks, the dining, and the entertainment are close at hand, and the day starts without a second leg of journey.
When your driver reaches the property, the stop is the resort’s front door — no back lot, no long walk from a parking structure with your gear in tow. That matters more than it sounds, because families headed here rarely reach with a couple of tidy suitcases.
The result is a clean handoff at the end of a long ride: you step out at the entrance, the bags come out with you, and the resort is where you already planned to be. Because Loews Portofino Bay Hotel is built into Universal Orlando Resort itself, you are set up to enjoy the parks without figuring out transportation on top of a full journey day. Tell us the gear you are bringing when you book, and the vehicle is chosen with all of it in mind.
The journey is door-to-door and private for your group alone. Your chauffeur arrives at the Hollywood address you give us at the agreed time, loads every bag into the vehicle, and heads north toward the Universal area. There is nothing for you to arrange along the way and no second car at the far end — the same driver stays with you the entire distance and pulls up at the resort’s front door.
If you want a short break for a restroom or a snack, one comfort stop fits into the run easily; just mention it and it gets built in. Because the route north can fill up on hectic weekends, holiday windows, and summer afternoons, we plan the pickup around the arrival time you are aiming for. Tell us when you want to be at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel and we set the departure to land you there in good order.
The fare is paid in full at booking. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.

Tal y como prometieron. el viaje fue silencioso y cómodo.
First time doing the run from Hollywood to Loews Portofino Bay Hotel alone, and having a private driver took all the stress out of it. I got a text the morning of confirming the pickup time in Hollywood, and the car was right outside — no guessing.
We didn’t want to juggle kids, snacks and suitcases in a rental for a long drive, so we booked a private van from our place in Hollywood to Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. Booking was quick, we got a clear confirmation, and it all went exactly as planned. The van was clean, cool, and comfortable, and the AC stayed cold the whole way.
We wanted a smooth handoff between Hollywood and Loews Portofino Bay Hotel for the two of us, and a private transfer delivered. The fare was fixed and agreed when we booked — exactly what we were quoted, which for a long trip like this we really appreciated. We caught up on messages the whole way up from Hollywood — so much better than white-knuckling the Turnpike.
Traveling with our little ones, I was NOT going to drive the Turnpike loaded with luggage, so I booked a private van from our hotel in Hollywood to Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. We caught up on messages the whole way up from Hollywood — so much better than a rental and a parking garage.
