From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Sherton Vistana 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.
Book with the flight number and the driver watches it land. Meet at the arrivals curb, where the greeting is part of the price, or select the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign for an extra $40. The driver handles the luggage and heads straight out, no other passengers, no stops unless you add them.
Sherton Vistana Resort sits in Lake Buena Vista, in the heart of Central Florida’s vacation country, where large resorts and theme-park destinations share the same few miles of road. It is built as a getaway property, the kind of place families settle into for a week rather than a night, with room to spread out and unpack between days at the parks. After a long flight, the appeal is simple: one address, space to breathe, and the major attractions only a short drive away.
Once you have checked in and found your footing, the surrounding region opens up rapidly. Universal Orlando Resort and ICON Park are among the closest large-name draws, and the Orange County Convention Center is within simple reach for anyone traveling for business. Shoppers can point the car toward the Orlando International Premium Outlets, while the wider International Drive corridor strings together SeaWorld and a long run of hotels, dining, and entertainment along one attraction-lined route. Almost everything a visitor comes to Central Florida for is close at hand.
What makes Sherton Vistana Resort work as a base is its position: near enough to the action to keep drive times short, far enough to feel like a retreat at the end of the day. You can plan mornings around the parks, afternoons around the pool, and evenings out along I-Drive without facing a long haul back to your room. Arriving by private car means you reach that front door without a rental counter or a map to fold over the wheel — the driver knows the way, and your first stop is the lobby.
The trip runs from the arrivals level at Miami International Airport straight to Sherton Vistana Resort as a single leg, with your bags loaded into the vehicle and no transfers along the way. It covers roughly 228 miles, most of it a steady run up Florida’s Turnpike, and typically takes somewhere between 222 and 229 minutes door to door depending on the time of day. Off-peak the road moves well; the morning and late-afternoon rush push the drive toward the higher end.
Your driver tracks your flight and is waiting when you clear the terminal, so a delay merely moves the pickup rather than costing you the car. From the curb it is one quiet, reserved ride the whole way north — luggage stowed, the route already planned, and the resort’s lobby as the only stop. You settle in, and the miles take care of themselves.

We flew into Miami with the kids late at night, and having a driver waiting was a lifesaver. No taxi line, no standing around waiting on an app — we just walked out and the car was there. With the kids worn out from the flight, it helped that the driver was patient and had the child seat ready.
