From $650 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Orlando and Coral Key Inn covers 217.2 miles (349.5 km) in about 3.6 hours, riding in a chauffeured Black SUV or private van at a flat rate. Your bilingual chauffeur drives the full I-95 corridor door to door, so you reach rested at the Lauderdale By the Sea resort while someone else handles every mile.
Each rate below covers the whole private vehicle for the one-way drive, with your whole group, luggage, and tolls riding together.
Parents of infants commonly do better setting off just before a nap window than at the hour that suits the adults. Say what that window looks like when you book and the collection time can be built around it. Have the bottle, the change of clothes and the wipes in a bag on the seat rather than in the back, because the useful moment to reach them is while the vehicle is moving.
A dedicated chauffeured vehicle is the smoothest way to create this 217.2-mile run with a family and a pile of theme-park luggage. You pick the vehicle by group size: a Black SUV for up to five, a private Sprinter van for six to nine, or a larger van for ten to fourteen. Your driver meets you at the agreed Orlando-region address, loads the bags, and points the vehicle down the I-95 corridor toward the coast. One optional comfort stop along the way for a restroom, a snack, or a stretch is no problem — just tell the driver, and it never changes your fare. There is no rental counter to clear, no parking deck to hunt, and no tolls to fumble at the booth. Booking takes one message on WhatsApp with your date, pickup spot, and passenger count, and the same vehicle carries you the whole way to the Coral Key Inn door.
Families and groups book us because the price you see is the price you pay — a flat rate locked at booking, with no surge for rush hour, demand, or weather. Your chauffeur is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which makes coordinating a pickup with kids in tow far easier. One vehicle is reserved for your party alone, so nobody else climbs aboard and there is no detour to collect strangers. Luggage is part of the plan: each passenger brings a checked bag and a carry-on, and we sort out anything extra in advance. You reach us directly by WhatsApp, so a real person confirms your details and answers questions before the journey and on the day itself. The result is a peaceful, private ride where you settle in, watch Florida roll past, and let the driver manage the route, the traffic, and the tolls from start to finish.
The drive runs about 3.6 hours door to door across 217.2 miles on the I-95 corridor. That estimate reflects off-peak conditions — a daytime departure outside the morning and evening crush. Heavy commuter traffic around the metro areas, holiday weekends, and large park-event days can stretch the journey beyond that window, so a little schedule cushion is wise when you have a check-in time or a dinner reservation waiting. Because the fare is flat, a slower-than-usual day never costs you more; the chauffeur merely keeps driving at the same locked rate. If you desire to beat the worst congestion, an early-morning pickup within daytime hours is the easiest way to keep the run close to that 3.6-hour mark. Tell us your perfect arrival time and we set the pickup to match, building in margin for the optional comfort stop and any seasonal slowdowns along the coast.
Coral Key Inn is a beachside resort in Lauderdale By the Sea, a relaxed seaside village wrapped around the Atlantic and known for its easygoing, family-welcoming pace. The property leans into that little-slice-of-paradise feel — sun, sand, and a quiet pocket of the Fort Lauderdale coast where the ocean is the main event. Your chauffeur brings you right to the entrance and helps with the bags, so the first thing you do after a long day on the road is breathe in the sea air, not wrestle a suitcase across a parking lot. You can confirm room details, amenities, and policies straight from the Coral Key Inn site, and reach the property directly through the resort’s contact page for anything specific to your stay.
The resort sits in Lauderdale By the Sea, a walkable coastal town just north of central Fort Lauderdale. The neighborhood is small and beach-focused, with the shoreline, a fishing pier, and casual streets of cafes and shops all close at hand. It is the kind of low-key seaside area where you can leave the car parked — or in this case, never need one — and reach most of what you came for on foot.
Lauderdale By the Sea is built around its beach, with calm swimming, snorkeling close to shore, and a pier popular for strolling and fishing. The village center fills with seafood spots, ice-cream shops, and open-air dining within an easy walk of the resort. A short hop carries you toward greater Fort Lauderdale, where you will find the famous beachfront promenade, waterway cruises, and plenty more dining — a natural change of pace after the Orlando parks.
Three private vehicle tiers cover everything from a couple to a large extended family. Lead with the SUV if your party is small; size up to a van as the group and the luggage grow. Every choice is private to your party alone.
The flat fare bundles the costs that commonly nickel-and-dime a long Florida drive, so there is little to settle separately.
A few situations sit outside the base fare. The first child seat is free for a child under five; each additional seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Extra or oversized bags are not a hard limit — message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm space or move you up to a larger van. Trips outside daytime hours carry the after-hours rate noted below.
Guests who reach by private transfer to a walkable seaside village frequently desire one or two more drives before they go home — an evening out along the coast, a family lunch further down the shore, or the run to a departure airport. Ask about those while your booking is still open. Reserving them in the same conversation is far easier than chasing a vehicle on a hectic Saturday.
Payment is simple and split so you are never carrying the full sum on journey day.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM carry no surcharge. A journey that starts before or after that window adds a modest after-hours amount on top of the regular fare.
Each passenger travels with one checked bag and one carry-on as typical, which suits most theme-park families heading to the coast. If you are hauling extra or oversized bags, send a swift WhatsApp note before the journey — we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van so nothing gets left behind at the curb.
Yes. An early-morning pickup is one of the top ways to clear the metro traffic and reach Lauderdale By the Sea sooner. Any departure inside the 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM window carries no surcharge; a pre-dawn start before 7:00 AM merely adds the small after-hours amount listed above. Tell us your target time and we set the pickup around it.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the single flat price shown in the rates section, whether you fill an SUV with five or a van with fourteen. Splitting it among the family commonly works out far cheaper per head than booking separate seats, and the number never changes for traffic or demand.
We drive the route in both directions — down from the Orlando region to Coral Key Inn and back up from the coast to your Orlando-region address. Book a round journey and the return is held at the same rate, just doubled from the one-way fare. Numerous families reserve both legs at once so the same dependable arrangement carries them home.
Reading recent guest reviews is a smart move before any family vacation — they tell you about the rooms, the beach access, and the feel of the property. We handle only the ground transfer to and from the resort, so for stay details and feedback, the official Coral Key Inn site linked above is your best first stop, then settle the ride with us.
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.

No. Nothing is added to your fare for it and your driver never raises the subject. Guests who desire to recognize a long day of driving and a lot of lifting commonly hand something over directly at the end of the journey, and it is entirely at your discretion. The quoted rate stands on its own either way.
Send your journey date, pickup address, drop-off, and passenger count by WhatsApp or email, and we will confirm the vehicle and lock your flat rate. Reserve early for holiday weekends and hectic park seasons so your preferred time and vehicle are held for your family.

Yes. The pickup time and other details (an extra passenger, a child seat) can be changed until 12 hours before the ride, depending on availability — write to us as soon as your plans change. The travel date itself is fixed once booked.
No hidden fees: the quoted price includes the driver, fuel and tolls. Only optional extras add to it — additional child seats, planned stops, the night-hours fee shown in your quote before you book and the 4% processing fee on card payments made through the payment link. Driver gratuity is optional and at your discretion; it’s always welcome.
You get a full refund if you cancel more than 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. Within 24 hours of the ride, the booking is non-refundable.
