Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa sits 234.8 miles (378.0 km) from the airport, and the flat fare covering that run opens at $550 per vehicle. Traffic decides whether the door-to-door drive occupies 240 or 243 minutes on Florida’s Turnpike. Your party travels in a Black SUV or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, whichever suits the group.
Only one thing moves the number: which vehicle your party needs. There are three of them.
Count on roughly 240 minutes when the roads are clear and as much as 243 when they are not, covering 234.8 miles (378.0 km) from Miami up through central Florida to the Orlando resort belt. A single highway does nearly all the work, so once the metro is behind you the pace holds steady instead of stopping and starting. Morning departures and mid-afternoon windows tend to hit the shorter figure, while late-afternoon starts and holiday weekends drift toward the longer one. Build your schedule on the higher number and you will carry a cushion. Live traffic is watched and the departure adjusted wherever that helps protect your timing.
Curbside is what the fare covers — your chauffeur stands at the terminal exit as the group walks out with the bags, so nothing needs requesting through an app and no matching wait applies. Would you rather be met inside the terminal by someone holding a name sign? Ask at booking; it is a paid add-on.
The inbound flight is tracked live and the pickup slides to match whenever you actually land, so nothing has to be rebooked on your side. Put the flight number on the reservation and the chauffeur will be there as you come out.
Three classes cover this route and each is reserved for your booking alone. The Black SUV — also called the SUV XL — takes as many as five travelers plus luggage and suits couples, families and small parties. Six to nine people fit the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, which leaves room to spread out with bags on a drive this long. Ten to fourteen call for the bigger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, keeping a large family or a touring group together rather than split between two cars. Every class is climate-controlled, and the entire party moves on one reservation to Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa.
Book a vehicle that belongs to your group for the day. Up to five travelers take the Black SUV; parties of six to nine or ten to fourteen take a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. Landing at MIA, you collect your bags and walk out to a car that is already there. Bags in, cabin cooled, and the run to the resort proceeds without detours or added stops. The whole way up to Orlando stays one unbroken ride, so nothing has to be organized halfway through.
Each passenger’s fare includes one checked bag plus one carry-on, and every vehicle class holds that comfortably. Traveling with more than that, or with something oversized? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we will either confirm the space or upgrade you to a larger van so everything comes along.
Small pets are welcome provided you tell us on WhatsApp in advance and they travel inside a pet carrier. On the child side, the first seat for a little one under five costs nothing; anything beyond that carries a small fee we confirm at booking. Mention what you need when you reserve and the chauffeur arrives ready.
One number covers the entire door-to-door drive and leaves nothing to add up afterward. Tolls, SunPass charges and fuel are folded in, so the long haul across central Florida ends up costing exactly what was quoted. WiFi arrives through a mobile hotspot to keep the group online for the duration. The reserved vehicle itself and your bilingual chauffeur belong to the standard price. Since every inclusion is spelled out right here, arriving at Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa brings no unexpected line item.
For most bookings, none. The in-terminal greeter with a name sign is the one optional paid add-on. Bags past the allowance or oversized items may call for a larger van, which we arrange in advance once you send the details, so nothing gets left standing at the curb.
Per vehicle. Whatever the private van costs, that figure carries your whole group — the total is identical whether the seats are half occupied or every one is filled, exactly as listed in the fares above. Nobody is seated with you: the vehicle belongs to your reservation only.
Journeys falling outside 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM pick up a small addition for the off-hours service.
The amount splits in two so booking stays simple: a 50% deposit reserves the trip and the remaining 50% is handed to your chauffeur on the travel date. Venmo, Zelle and a secure payment link are all accepted, with cash an option for nearby, close-in pickups. A return journey is billed as double the one-way fare, which makes reserving both legs at once straightforward. Because pricing attaches to the vehicle, the confirmed figure applies to the entire group rather than to each seat. You will hold the full amount in writing before departure, and nothing further is collected on arrival apart from any add-ons chosen at booking.
At the moment of booking — that 50% is what secures your vehicle and your date. The rest goes straight to the driver on travel day, by the same methods. No reservation is held until the deposit clears.
Send the flight number, the pickup date, how many passengers, and anything worth flagging about luggage or child seats, either on WhatsApp or by email. Back comes the assigned vehicle and a confirmed fare, and that fare stays fixed for your travel dates.
Get in touch on WhatsApp or by email and a real person handles the arrangement, confirming the vehicle, the price, and a pickup time built around your flight. Nothing is routed through a phone menu, and no outside dispatcher sits between your group and its driver.
Each reservation assigns one vehicle and one driver to your group for the day. Your chauffeur speaks English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the pickup for anyone arriving from overseas. Luggage is taken care of at the curb and the cabin stays climate-controlled for the long push north. Over a distance like this, having the same driver from the terminal all the way to the resort door is what keeps the journey predictable, rather than leaving a tired traveler to improvise at the end of a flight.
Yes — the route works in both directions. Reserve the return alongside your arrival transfer and the same arrangement brings the group from Westgate Lakes Resort & Spa to MIA again, timed against your departure flight. Drop-offs at other airports, ports and cities can be arranged too.
The resort occupies a lakeside spot inside Orlando’s principal resort-and-attractions corridor, close to the theme-park district that brings most people to the region. Everything nearby is built with vacationers in mind: entertainment complexes, large-format dining, shopping and family attractions cluster along the tourist roads, and the major Orlando theme parks sit a short local drive from the property. Landscaped grounds beside a private lake give the resort itself a spa, pools and on-site restaurants suited to longer family stays. There is more to read about the property as an Orlando resort near the Universal area, and the wider Westgate Resorts collection covers rooms and amenities.
Think purpose-built vacation zone rather than city center: wide roads, oversized restaurants and retail, hotel after hotel, and attraction entrances laid out for people arriving by car. The resort’s own lakeside grounds feel calmer and greener, set a step apart from the busiest of the tourist strips.
Mostly inside the theme parks Orlando is known for, plus the entertainment districts wrapped around them, which fill a day with rides, shows, water parks and character experiences without much planning. Closer in are the big dining and shopping complexes aimed at visiting families, plus the spa, pools and recreation on the resort’s own grounds.
