From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Fort Lauderdale to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
The meeting point is simple: the entrance of your hotel or the front door of your home in Fort Lauderdale. The driver helps with the suitcases, settles everyone in, and takes the direct route north to the resort. A 15-minute courtesy wait is included at the pickup address.
The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes Resort is a lakeside luxury property set inside the wider Grande Lakes complex, ringed by Central Florida wetlands yet still within simple reach of Orlando’s theme-park and convention district. Polished rooms and suites sit alongside resort dining, a well-regarded spa, and an 18-hole championship golf course, which makes it a place to settle into rather than simply somewhere to sleep between park days.
On arrival you find an award-recognized spa, that championship golf course, and a waterpark whose lazy river and easygoing pool play work well for families. Summer programming leans into the lakeside setting, and the concierge team can shape a stay around park visits, dining, or plain downtime. Ours is only the ground ride in; the resort handles its own offers and reservations directly.
One detail is worth noting before you journey. These grounds are shared with a sister hotel that operates under a distinct brand, and each has its own porte-cochere off the same approach road. Guests sometimes send only the campus name, which leaves that final turn unresolved and can land a group at the wrong entrance. Name your hotel specifically in the booking message and the drop-off happens exactly where your reservation sits.
Your chauffeur arrives at whichever Fort Lauderdale address you agreed on, whether that is your home or your hotel, at the time you set. The bags go into the vehicle, and from there it is one private car reserved for your group and driven straight through to the resort. A family of five with park gear rides comfortably in the SUV; larger parties take a van, with one driver staying with you for the whole run so nothing is handed off and no second car is waited on.
Figure on roughly three and a half hours door to door across about 232 road miles, with the route running Florida’s Turnpike before joining I-4 toward Orlando. Afternoon build-up near the interchanges, holiday weekends, and main park-event days can stretch that, which is ordinary for this corridor. A brief stop to stretch or grab a snack is simple to arrange; a word to the driver is all it takes.
