A private transfer to or from Orlando and AKA West Palm Hotel covers about 178.7 miles (287.6 km) in roughly 2.7 hours, riding a chauffeured Black SUV or upscale van at a flat rate from $550 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver follows the I-95 corridor door to door, so you settle in and reach rested without a rental counter, parking, or tolls to handle.
Rates are flat and per vehicle for the whole group, locked the moment you book — pick the size that fits your party and luggage.
Downtown blocks here run on a one-way grid, so a building that looks a few feet away can take a full loop to reach from the wrong direction. If your property has a separate entrance for residences, or a preferred side for arriving vehicles, put that in the booking message. It saves a circuit of the neighborhood at the end of a long drive.
A dedicated private car is the simplest way to create this 178.7-mile journey with a group. Your chauffeur arrives at the agreed Orlando-region address — a theme-park resort, vacation home, or hotel lobby — loads the bags, and drives the full I-95 run to the door of AKA West Palm Hotel. You select the vehicle by headcount: a Black SUV for up to five travelers, a private van for six to nine, or a larger van for ten to fourteen. One driver stays with you the whole way, with a single optional comfort stop for a restroom break or snack whenever you ask. Booking takes a swift WhatsApp message: share your date, pickup spot, passenger count, and bag count, and we confirm the vehicle and a flat fare on the spot. No rental queue, no parking deck, no juggling directions after a long park day — you ride and the chauffeur drives.
The fare is flat and locked at booking, so the price never moves for traffic, demand, or the time of day. Your bilingual driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which keeps coordination simple from the first pickup message to the final drop. The vehicle is reserved for your party alone — your family or group has the whole SUV or van, with room for everyone and the bags from a long Orlando stay. Luggage is handled for you at both ends, so nobody is wrestling suitcases into a trunk after the parks. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp to book, adjust a pickup time, or flag an early start, rather than an app and an algorithm. It adds up to a peaceful, planned ride: one named driver, one dedicated vehicle, and a clear total you agreed to before the journey even began.
The drive is about 2.7 hours door to door in typical off-peak conditions. That figure assumes a clear run down I-95 outside the busiest windows. Morning and late-afternoon commuter traffic around the metro areas can stretch the journey, and holiday weekends, spring break, or major park-event days add the most time of all — extra cars heading the same direction merely slow the corridor. Because the fare is fixed, none of that changes what you pay; a slower day costs you nothing more than a little patience. For tight schedules — an early flight, a check-in window, a dinner reservation — tell us when you require to reach and we set the pickup time to build in a sensible buffer. The single optional comfort stop adds only the few minutes you select to take. Plan around the 2.7-hour off-peak baseline, lean toward more cushion on peak days, and you reach unhurried.
AKA West Palm Hotel sits in downtown West Palm Beach, a polished coastal address built for both swift getaways and longer residential-style stays. The property pairs hotel service with apartment-style residences, an on-site dining concept, and the kind of peaceful, design-forward setting that suits travelers winding down after the Orlando parks. The surrounding district leans walkable and refined, with the waterfront, boutiques, and a hectic dining scene close at hand. After your chauffeur drops you at the entrance, everything from a short stroll to a relaxed evening out is within simple reach.
For rooms, residences, and amenities, see AKA West Palm Hotel, and for the wider setting and what surrounds the property, browse this West Palm guide.
The downtown West Palm Beach area around the hotel blends a waterfront promenade, art and cultural venues, and a dense run of restaurants, cafés, and shops. The hotel’s own a.market on Olive is a handy stop for a quick bite or provisions. It is an easy district to explore on foot, and a fitting change of pace after days on your feet at the theme parks.
AKA West Palm Hotel is set up for flexible stays — daily, weekly, or monthly — which is why its residences appeal to travelers extending an Orlando trip into a real coastal break. Our transfer covers the ground leg only: we drive you to the door. Reserve the room, residence, or length of stay directly with the property; we get you and your luggage there comfortably.
Your flat per-vehicle fare covers the full door-to-door drive, with no add-ons sprung on you later. One dedicated vehicle and one chauffeur stay with your group the whole route, and a single optional comfort stop is yours to take whenever you like. The rate also covers tolls, SunPass, and fuel along the way, plus onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot so the kids stream and you stay connected. A few practical points are worth knowing before the day so we can confirm details in advance.
The fare includes the chauffeured Black SUV or private van, your bilingual driver, the I-95 drive both directions if you book a round trip, all tolls and fuel, and the mobile WiFi hotspot. Standard luggage rides included: one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, loaded and unloaded for you at both ends.
A surcharge applies only for pickups outside the 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM daytime window. Small pets are welcome with advance WhatsApp notice and a pet carrier. The first child seat is free for a child under five; any additional seat carries a small fee we confirm when you book. Extra or oversized bags? Message us first so we reserve space.
Payment is simple and split so nothing is collected unexpectedly on journey day.
Select your vehicle by passenger count and the luggage a long Orlando journey generates. Each choice is private and reserved for your party alone — no one else shares the ride.
Groups who reach hungry sometimes ask to be dropped at a restaurant while the bags stay in the vehicle. That is not something we can do — once your driver leaves, your luggage leaves with him. Have the cases delivered to the property first, then walk out to eat unencumbered. Downtown makes that simple, and it is the version where nothing goes missing.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM carry no surcharge. For trips that start before or after that window — an pre-dawn departure to beat the road, or a late-night arrival — a modest after-hours surcharge applies on top of the flat fare.
Each passenger gets one checked bag plus one carry-on included, loaded and unloaded by your driver. Theme-park families pack heavy, so if you have extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp ahead of time — we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van. Tell us the bag count when booking and we match the right vehicle.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat rate shown in the rates section above. Five travelers in the SUV pay the same total as one. A round journey is merely double the one-way figure. The price is locked at booking and never surges for traffic or demand.
Yes — name your pickup time and we are there. Early-morning departures are common for travelers leaving Orlando ahead of the heat or a check-in window in West Palm Beach. Pickups before 7:00 AM carry a small after-hours surcharge, but the schedule is yours. Share the time on WhatsApp and we build in a buffer for the road.
One brief optional comfort stop is included on the long drive — a restroom, a snack, or a swift stretch. Just tell your driver and it adds only the few minutes you select to take, with no change to your flat fare. With kids aboard, that single pause down I-95 keeps the journey simple for everyone.
Your chauffeur drives door to door and drops you right at the entrance of AKA West Palm Hotel, not at a distant curb or transit point. We pick up at your exact Orlando-region address and deliver to the South Florida door, with bags handled at both ends. Heading the other way, we reverse it — pickup at the hotel, drop at your Orlando destination.
A more coordinated, premium service end to end — flat fare, named driver, one dedicated private driver for the entire Orlando-to-South-Florida drive — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Residence-style stays often use a door code or an app rather than a person behind a desk, and those instructions commonly reach by email on the day. Check that you actually have yours before the vehicle pulls away from Orlando. Sorting a missing code with a few hours of daylight left is a distinct situation from doing it on a doorstep at midnight.
Send your date, pickup address, passenger count, and luggage on WhatsApp, and we confirm your vehicle and flat fare right away. Lock the SUV or van for your group, and your bilingual chauffeur takes it from there — door to door, the whole way.
