From $635 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to The Lodge At Wekiva in a chauffeured SUV or van.

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.
The Lodge At Wekiva is your destination in Apopka, a city set in the heart of Central Florida. It is the address the whole journey is built around — the single point your ride is timed and routed toward, so the end of the journey is the front door itself rather than a loose drop somewhere in the wider region. Book it ahead and that address is locked into the plan from the start.
Apopka sits well inland, north of Miami, which is why the run up from the airport is a long haul rather than a short city hop. That distance is part of what you are paying for in comfort: by the time you reach The Lodge At Wekiva you have left the coast, the terminals, and the airport crowds well behind you, and the surroundings open up into the calmer, greener pace of Central Florida. It is a distinct kind of arrival from a swift downtown transfer.
Wherever The Lodge At Wekiva sits within the area, the transfer carries you straight to it — there is no transit stop to reach first and no last leg to sort out on your own once you arrive. The driver brings your group right to the door, and because the vehicle is reserved for you alone, there is no swing past anyone else’s address along the way. After a journey day that covers much of the length of the state, stepping out exactly where you meant to go, with every bag still in the same car, is the part that matters most.
The ride begins the moment you clear arrivals at Miami International Airport. Your driver is waiting curbside, helps load the luggage, and everything goes into the one vehicle that stays yours for the entire journey. From there the route runs up Florida’s Turnpike toward Apopka, a drive of roughly 253 miles that commonly takes somewhere between 248 and 254 minutes depending on how the traffic moves that day.
There is no transfer, no change of car, and no extra stop along the way — just a steady, direct run north with your own group. Because the pickup is timed to your actual landing, a slow bag claim or a late flight simply shifts the start of the drive rather than costing you the ride. You settle in, and the next time the doors open you are at The Lodge At Wekiva.
