From $600 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Hollywood to Universal Stella Nova 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.
Give us the pickup address in Hollywood and a time, and the driver is there ahead of it. Bags go straight into the SUV or van, and the journey runs door to door to the resort, with a planned stop possible if you add it when you book. The 15-minute courtesy wait at the pickup is part of the fare.
Universal Stella Nova Resort is a space-themed value hotel inside Universal Orlando Resort, which opened its doors on January 21, 2025. The cosmic styling runs from the lobby through the rooms and out across the grounds, giving families a playful, simple-to-navigate home for several days of parks. It shares its price tier with a sister property, Universal Terra Luna Resort, so you obtain a well-placed room without the top-of-the-variety rate.
The resort sits close to Epic Universe, the newest park in the complex and the headline draw for most guests. Because it is part of the wider Universal Orlando Resort, the dining, the parks, and everything else on site are only minutes away the moment your driver leaves you at the door. Once you are checked in, the complex is walkable and shuttle-linked, so moving between your room and the attractions is short and simple.
Universal Stella Nova shares the Universal Orlando Resort region with several other on-site hotels, so there is ample around you. Nearby choices include Universal Terra Luna Resort, Universal Helios Grand Hotel, Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort, and Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. Since we work strictly door to door, the drop happens at whichever property holds your reservation. The space theme keeps the hotel itself entertaining for children, and Universal Orlando runs its own complimentary transportation around the complex, linking the on-site hotels to the park gates once you have arrived. For a group heading to Orlando for the parks, it is a straightforward, central place to land.
Your chauffeur meets you at the agreed time at your Hollywood address, whether that is a hotel, a home, or another door in South Florida. The bags go into the vehicle once, at the curb, and the same driver and the same vehicle stay with you the whole way north to Orlando. There is nothing to collect at a rental counter, nothing to park, and no line to stand in. You choose the vehicle that fits your travelers and their luggage, and the whole party rides on one per-group price.
Under normal conditions the journey runs about 216 miles and roughly 3.6 hours from door to door, with one optional stretch break built into a quiet weekday morning. Heavy holiday weekends, Friday getaways, and large theme-park event days can add 45 to 90 minutes on the I-4 approach into Orlando, and your driver watches conditions in real time to keep you on schedule for check-in or your first park morning.

Every policy in full: FAQ
Booked a private van for the family from Hollywood up to Universal Stella Nova Resort so the kids could watch their shows instead of a cranky road trip. The fare was fixed and agreed when we booked — nothing added at the end, which for a long trip like this we really appreciated.
So glad we didn’t rent a car. Clean van, great driver, we arrived rested. The driver dropped us at the front doors of Universal Stella Nova Resort, not a step further than needed.
Didn’t feel like a long drive north on my own, so I booked a private SUV from Hollywood to Universal Stella Nova Resort and let someone else handle the road. The fare was fixed and agreed when I booked — no meter, no surprises, which for a long trip like this I really appreciated.

SUV limpia, recogida fácil en Hollywood y un conductor que sabía exactamente dónde quedaba Universal Stella Nova Resort. Lo reservaría de nuevo.
We didn’t want to juggle kids, snacks and suitcases in a rental for a long drive, so we booked a private van from our place in Hollywood to Universal Stella Nova Resort. The kids watched their shows the whole ride, and getting straight to Universal Stella Nova Resort without a rental, a map, and a meltdown was perfect. Pickup was at the house where we were staying in Hollywood, on time to the dot.
