From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Hollywood to Universal Orlando Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
The meeting point is simple: the entrance of your hotel or the front door of your home in Hollywood. 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.
Universal Orlando Resort gathers three parks under a single name: Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and the Volcano Bay water park, alongside the Universal CityWalk dining and entertainment district. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter reaches across two of those parks, with immersive lands that pull fans in from far and broad. The resort sits at 6000 Universal Blvd, along International Drive inside Orlando’s central tourist district, ringed by restaurants, shops, and hotels.
The words “Universal Orlando” cover a lot of ground. They take in the resort’s own on-site hotels, the partner hotels lining the surrounding roads, and the entertainment district itself, each reached through its own entrance. On-site you will find Loews Portofino Bay, Hard Rock Hotel, Loews Royal Pacific, and Cabana Bay Beach Resort, while the wider I-Drive area supplies ample more rooms just beyond the gates.
Because a single name spreads across so many properties and doors, it helps to be specific when you book. Name your exact hotel or building, and paste its street address if your confirmation shows one. Anyone staying at a neighboring off-site hotel should send that hotel’s own address in place of the resort name. Whichever Orlando-area address you offer us is where we set you down, right at the entrance you need. Our part of the day ends there at the door. The parks, the CityWalk evenings, and where you stay are all yours to plan, and we simply deliver you and your group ready to walk in.
We collect you at your Hollywood address, whether that is a house, a condo, or a hotel lobby, at the time you set. Your driver arrives ready and waiting, loads the luggage into the vehicle, and stays with you for the whole drive north. The route runs up the Florida Turnpike before merging onto I-4 toward the resort, and the tolls are already settled, so there is nothing to sort out along the way. One vehicle, one driver, from your door to the parks.
Off-peak, the door-to-door drive comes in around 3.6 hours, with a quick break available any time you desire one. There is no shuffling between vehicles or platforms at either end. You climb out right at the Universal Orlando door, and your driver’s details reach you ahead of time so journey day runs on your schedule rather than a fixed timetable.

Every policy in full: FAQ
We wanted a smooth handoff between Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort for the two of us, and a private transfer was exactly that. The driver was a safe, steady driver, exactly what you want for a long drive.
Reservé un traslado privado desde mi hotel en Hollywood hasta Universal Orlando Resort en lugar de armar el viaje en buses, y fue la decisión correcta. Viajando por mi cuenta, me sentí muy a gusto desde mi puerta en Hollywood hasta Universal Orlando Resort. Recibí un mensaje la noche anterior confirmando la hora en Hollywood, y el auto ya estaba ahí al salir — nada que perseguir.
So glad we didn’t rent a car. Clean van, great driver, we arrived rested. The driver dropped us straight at the lobby of Universal Orlando Resort, not a step further than needed.
After a few days in Hollywood we booked a private car to carry us and the bags up to Universal Orlando Resort — just door to door.
Reservé esto para ir de Hollywood hasta Universal Orlando Resort sin manejar ni un tramo, y no pudo ser más fácil. El conductor cargó cada maleta para que no tuviera que cargar nada.
