From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Fort Lauderdale to Loews Sapphire Falls Resort 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.
Tell us where in Fort Lauderdale to collect you and when. The driver plans the route to the resort, arrives ahead of the agreed time, loads the bags and drives the whole way with your party only. One stop on the way, up to 30 minutes, is included when you add it to the booking.
Loews Sapphire Falls Resort sits inside the Universal Orlando Resort complex, in Orlando — a resort built for travelers whose days center on the theme parks. When your group is heading to Orlando for park time, this is a place to land that keeps you close to the action rather than out on the edge of town. The resort shares the grounds of Universal Orlando, so the rides, the shows and the walkways of the wider complex sit near at hand.
Because it stands within the Universal Orlando Resort, the setting is squarely a theme-park one. This is the base you return to between park days, the address your driver aims for, and the point your Orlando journey revolves around. For a family arriving with theme-park bags and a schedule built around rope drop, having the resort set inside the complex means the parks are part of the same grounds rather than a separate journey across the city.
On arrival, your car pulls up at the resort entrance itself — not a distant lot or a curb blocks away. The chauffeur brings you to the door, and your group steps out where the resort begins, bags and all. After a long run north from South Florida, that final stop at the front of Loews Sapphire Falls Resort is the simple part: everyone unloads, and the Orlando portion of the journey starts right there inside the Universal Orlando grounds.
The ride begins at the Fort Lauderdale address you offer us — a home, a hotel or an office. Your chauffeur is there at the agreed time, loads the luggage into the vehicle, and your group settles in for one continuous run north. There is no counter to locate and no pickup zone to decode; the driver is waiting when you come out, and the bags ride in the same vehicle the whole way.
From South Florida the route climbs Florida’s Turnpike and joins I-4 into Orlando, covering about 209 miles in roughly 3.4 to 3.5 hours depending on traffic. Tolls and fuel are handled by your driver, so nothing needs sorting on the road. One driver stays with you the whole corridor, and the journey ends at the entrance of Loews Sapphire Falls Resort inside the Universal Orlando grounds.
The fare is paid in full at booking. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
