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 from $550 per vehicle. 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.
Three private vehicles cover this route, and every one is reserved for your group alone — never a shared or pooled ride.
Nothing changes on your end. Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and re-times the pickup automatically at no extra cost, whether it lands early or late. Courtesy waiting covers two hours for international arrivals and one hour for domestic flights, so a normal delay is already built into your booking.
Your included pickup is curbside — the driver waits at the arrivals curb and is ready when you exit the terminal. You get the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate by text the day before, plus exact instructions on where to walk. An in-terminal greeter with a name sign is available as an optional paid add-on.
Each passenger gets one checked bag plus one carry-on, and drivers help load and unload every piece. Have extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van. Think of it as a starting allowance, not a hard cap.
There is no shared shuttle — every ride is a private van or SUV for your group only. The rate is per vehicle, not per person, so your whole group travels for the single flat price shown in the pricing section above. A round trip is simply double the one-way, settled per vehicle.
Yes. Small pets ride along with advance notice by WhatsApp, traveling in a pet carrier for the trip. Let us know when you book so the driver expects a pet on board. This keeps the vehicle comfortable for everyone and makes sure the right car is assigned to your group.
On a run this long, one short comfort stop for a restroom or a snack can be arranged on route — just mention it when you book. Beyond that planned break, the trip is direct from MIA to your Alafaya door. Other unscheduled stops fall outside the fare, though a short nearby stop arranged in advance can usually be added.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

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 make, 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 give 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.
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 simply 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.
For a pickup on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms your booking and the remaining 50% goes to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas ask for full payment in advance. Cancel with 24 or more hours notice for a full refund; inside 24 hours the booking is non-refundable.
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 area. 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.
Your fare is a flat rate set at booking — it does not move with traffic, demand, or the hour you travel. 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 get one reserved vehicle, one named driver, and a single door-to-door ride from MIA all the way to your Alafaya address — a genuinely coordinated trip rather than a string of separate steps.
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 area 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 arrive, 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 area rather than a beach destination.
Alafaya works best as a launch point for the greater Orlando area. Day trips to the region’s famous theme parks, shopping districts, and dining zones are common, and the surrounding east-side suburbs hold parks, plazas, and everyday amenities. We drop you at your door; from there the community’s own streets and Alafaya Trail keep local errands and eateries within easy reach.
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 additional seat carries a small extra fee confirmed when you book. Sealed bottled water is the standard on board.
A few things sit outside the base fare. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on. Waiting beyond the courtesy window is billed in 30-minute blocks. Food, drinks, and driver gratuity are not included, and unscheduled stops fall outside the rate — though a short nearby stop arranged in advance can usually be accommodated for a small fee.
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.
