From $680 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from MIA and Alafaya covers 228.8 miles (368.1 km) in about 229 to 237 minutes by black SUV or private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, at a flat rate. Your driver follows Florida’s Turnpike and I-95 north and meets you at the curb — one flat price locked at booking, no surge, your group only.
The private transfer is priced per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the single flat figure you set the moment you reserve, no matter how the traffic moves.
The fare covers the full private ride door to door, plus the costs that usually pile on separately. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all inside the price. Courtesy waiting is built in: two hours for international arrivals, one hour for domestic flights, and fifteen minutes for hotel pickups — and if your flight is delayed or lands early, the pickup is re-timed at no cost. The first child seat for a child under five is free; each extra seat carries a small extra fee confirmed when you book. Sealed bottled water is the typical on board.
Several things fall outside the base fare. The name-sign meet-and-greet inside the terminal is a paid optional extra. Waiting beyond the courtesy window is charged in 30-minute increments. Food, drinks, and driver gratuity are excluded, and unplanned stops sit outside the rate — although a brief nearby stop set up in advance can usually be added for a small charge.
Your fare is a flat rate set at booking — it does not move with traffic, demand, or the hour you journey. Every trip is private: the vehicle carries your group only, never a shared or pooled ride. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot for the long ride. Booking runs straight through WhatsApp, so you reach a real person instead of an app queue. We have run this service 24/7, year-round, for more than five years. Instead of piecing together the long drive yourself, you obtain one reserved vehicle, one named driver, and a single door-to-door ride from MIA all the way to your Alafaya address — a genuinely organized trip rather than a string of separate steps.
The drive covers 228.8 miles (368.1 km) and takes about 229 minutes off-peak, stretching to roughly 237 minutes at peak — a difference of only about 8 minutes. The route runs north from MIA on Florida’s Turnpike and I-95, the fastest corridor between South Florida and the Orlando region. Traffic around the airport and through the Orlando metro is the main variable; the long turnpike stretch in between usually moves freely. Leaving inside the 7 AM to 6 PM daytime window keeps you closer to the off-peak end. Plan your pickup around your flight, and the driver adjusts automatically if it lands early or late, so the schedule follows your real arrival rather than a fixed clock.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link — full cash at pickup is not accepted, though card and link payments add a 4% bank fee. A round trip merely costs double the one-way price. Everything is settled per vehicle, so the figure you agree to at booking is the figure for the whole group.
On the Miami side, a 50% deposit secures your reservation and the balance of 50% goes to the driver on travel day, cash welcome. Certain reverse-direction pickups from more distant areas require full prepayment. Cancelling with 24 or more hours notice earns a full refund; inside 24 hours the reservation is non-refundable.
Alafaya is a residential community on the east side of the Orlando metro, built around the long commercial spine of Alafaya Trail. It reads as suburban Central Florida: quiet neighborhoods and manufactured-home communities like Alafaya Palms, a family manufactured-home community, mixed with strip retail, everyday services, and a steady run of chain restaurants. The region sits within the wider University of Central Florida district, so student housing, casual dining, and campus-adjacent businesses shape much of its character. If you are hungry when you reach, the dining strip along North Alafaya Trail is one of the busier stretches. Most stays here are practical — visiting family, a university journey, or a base for exploring the wider Orlando region rather than a beach destination.
Alafaya shines as a jumping-off point for the greater Orlando area. Day outings to the region’s famous theme parks, shopping districts, and dining zones are routine, while the surrounding east-side suburbs offer parks, plazas, and daily conveniences. We deliver you to your door; from there the community’s streets and the Alafaya Trail keep errands and eateries close.
Student arrivals do not look like holiday arrivals. Bedding, storage bins, a printer, a suitcase that was already overweight — count those items honestly when you book, because they decide the vehicle far more than the number of people does. Move-in weekends also run on the housing office’s schedule, so check which day and which unloading point you have been given before you fly.
Three private vehicles cover this route, and every one is reserved for your group alone — never a shared or pooled ride.
You don’t need to do anything. The driver follows the inbound flight live and shifts the pickup automatically at no additional cost, early or late. Included waiting spans two hours on international arrivals and one hour on domestic flights, so an ordinary delay is already factored into your reservation.
Curbside pickup comes included — your driver stands at the arrivals curb, ready when you leave the terminal. A text the day before supplies the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate, plus exact walking directions. A name-sign greeter inside the terminal is offered as a paid optional extra.
Every traveler is allowed one checked suitcase plus one carry-on, and drivers assist with loading and unloading each piece. Additional or oversized luggage? Send a WhatsApp message before travel and we confirm the room or move you up to a larger private van. Consider it a starting allowance, not a firm ceiling.
No shared shuttle exists here — each ride is a private SUV or van held solely for your party. Charges apply per vehicle, never per traveler, so the entire group travels for the one flat figure in the pricing section above. Round trips run exactly twice the one-way, billed per vehicle.
Yes. With prior notice by WhatsApp, small pets come along, riding inside a pet carrier. Mention it at booking so the driver knows a pet is aboard. That keeps the ride comfortable for everyone and ensures the proper vehicle is matched to your group.
On a drive this long, a single brief comfort break for a restroom or snack can be planned along the way — simply flag it at booking. Beyond that scheduled break, the ride runs nonstop from MIA to your door in Alafaya. Other unplanned stops fall outside the fare, though a quick nearby stop set up beforehand can usually be added.
A better-organized, premium ride — fixed price, an assigned driver, and a pickup timed to your flight — for a significantly lower overall price than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

A single reservation and one synchronized pickup, at a significantly lower price than a surging Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
Uber, Uber Black, Lyft, and Lyft Lux are the trademarks of their respective holders. We have no affiliation with, sponsorship from, or endorsement by any of them. The comparison draws on publicly available pricing as of 2026.
Book online or over WhatsApp, then meet your driver curbside at MIA. For up to five travelers the black SUV is the natural pick; groups of six to nine take a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, and parties of ten to fourteen ride the larger Sprinter. After you reserve, we text your driver’s name, vehicle model, and license plate the day before, along with exact curbside pickup instructions. When you land, the driver is already at the arrivals curb and helps load your bags. From MIA the run heads north to your Alafaya address, and everything is door to door — one vehicle, your group only, no shared seats. You offer us a home, an apartment, or a business address, and that is exactly where the ride ends.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips scheduled outside that window carry a small night surcharge that depends on your vehicle.
Book the return leg with your departure time in front of you, not from memory. International check-in closes earlier than a domestic one and a family with checked bags needs more of a cushion than a solo traveler with a backpack. Send us the flight and we will suggest a pickup hour that gets you there without a scramble — you can always leave sooner if you would rather wait airside.
Reserve at least 24 hours ahead for the smoothest booking; under-24-hour requests are still reviewed by hand, though availability is not guaranteed. Send your flight details, passenger count, and Alafaya address by email or WhatsApp, and we confirm your vehicle, driver, and pickup time. A booked pickup can be moved with 24 or more hours notice, subject to availability.

Aim for a full day — 24 hours — before pickup. Around holidays and packed weekends, the sooner you reserve, the more vehicle options we can hold for you.
Of course. Bookings come in from every corner of the world; international payments are no problem, and updates reach you over WhatsApp and email.
We operate on advance reservations only. Four hours ahead is the practical minimum, and a same-day slot depends entirely on availability — it can’t be promised.
A part-payment locks your reservation: 50% when the total is under $199 USD, and 30% once it reaches $200 USD or more.
Not fully. The vehicle is secured with a 50% deposit sent by Zelle or our payment link; whatever remains can be handed to the driver in cash on arrival.
Not at all — hotels, cruise ports, train stations, restaurants and private homes are all regular stops for us.
The fleet runs from XL SUVs for small parties to 12- and 14-seat vans, plus full-size buses holding 40 to 54 riders — a fit for big events.
Gladly — weddings, corporate conferences, VIP outings and similar events all get a tailored quote; just message us.
Part of the fleet carries Wi-Fi and USB outlets. Flag it when booking if you depend on either, and we’ll assign a vehicle that has both.
Never — every transfer is private. The vehicle belongs to your group alone from pickup to drop-off.
Relax: we follow your flight live and slide the pickup to match, with no fee for the adjustment.
Send over the new details the moment you have them; we update the booking and keep watching the revised flight.
Standard pickup is curbside — text your exit door and the car pulls up within minutes, typically faster than a sign-holder. An in-terminal greeting with your name on a sign is available for $20 if you prefer it.
A day ahead you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle model and its plate number, plus step-by-step curbside instructions.
Stay calm — a message goes out to you as soon as your plane touches down. No quick reply? The driver walks to the international arrivals hall to look for you there. Nobody gets left behind.
Sixty minutes after a domestic landing, a two-hour courtesy on international arrivals, 15 minutes at hotels, and up to an hour past the agreed time at the port.
With two free hours already included it’s rare, but beyond that the trip can be treated as a no-show. Extra waiting can be added at US$ 30 per additional 30-minute block, paid in cash directly to the driver.
Yes — loading and unloading your bags is part of the driver’s job.
One large case plus one carry-on per rider is standard. Extra suitcases, instruments, mobility gear or strollers? Tell us beforehand so the right space is set aside; a supplement may apply.
Small pets ride happily — inside a secure carrier — as long as you mention them ahead of time.
One seat for a child under five comes free; additional seats are US$ 20 each when requested in advance.
Please hold the food for later — only sealed bottled water is fine during the ride.
They’re not part of the base fare, but a brief nearby stop arranged beforehand can usually be worked in; a small time-based fee may apply.
Sure — with at least 24 hours’ warning we’ll re-slot it, subject to availability.
None — the quote is the final figure. Tipping the driver is optional, always appreciated, never required.
highly recommended. punctual within the minute. no waving down anyone, the car was where they said. solid all around.
Sin contratiempos. no fue invasivo, respetó nuestro espacio.
Reserva fácil e sem stress. não precisei pensar, só entrar no carro e chegar, além disso acompanharam o atraso do voo sem precisar pedir. Éramos 8 na van e ainda sobrou espaço.
Hit the hotel by check-in and unpacked early.
Bem profissional. usei ano passado e de novo nessa viagem.
