From $680 per vehicle — one flat, private one-way ride from MIA to Alafaya, met at the arrivals curb by your driver.
Each figure below is the cost of the whole vehicle to any Alafaya address, not a per-seat charge, and it is fixed the moment you reserve — traffic and the hour of day never move it.
Your driver waits at the MIA arrivals curb as you step out with your bags, and that curbside meet and greet is part of the ride at no charge. The night before, a text gives you the driver’s name, the vehicle, and the plate, so there is no hunting at the terminal. The inbound flight is tracked live, which means an early landing or a long delay simply shifts the pickup — no extra fee and no rebooking. Included waiting covers a full two hours after an international landing and one hour after a domestic one, enough to soak up an ordinary customs line. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign held for you, that greeting is a $20 add-on.
Alafaya is a residential slice of the Orlando metro’s east side, strung along the long commercial run of Alafaya Trail. The feel is plain suburban Central Florida — quiet streets, manufactured-home neighborhoods such as Alafaya Palms, and steady rows of strip retail and daily shops. It sits inside the greater University of Central Florida district — UCF student housing, casual eateries, and campus-side businesses shape a good deal of the character here. The busiest place to eat sits along North Alafaya Trail. Most trips here are practical ones — seeing family, a university errand, or using the area as a quiet base for the greater Orlando region rather than a run to the beach.
The trip spans 228.8 miles, or 368.1 km, and runs near 229 minutes in light traffic, stretching toward 237 at busier hours — a swing of only about eight minutes. From MIA the drive climbs north, riding Florida’s Turnpike and then I-95 — the quickest corridor linking South Florida with the Orlando region. The open turnpike miles in the middle usually flow freely; the traffic that matters gathers near the airport and again through the Orlando metro at the far end. A daytime departure tends to land you closer to the shorter estimate. Because the pickup follows your real arrival, the clock starts when you actually touch down, not at a fixed hour.
Three private vehicles cover this route, and each one carries your party alone — never a shared or pooled seat.
A 50% deposit locks your reservation, and the remaining balance goes to the driver on travel day; pay the deposit by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link. Every amount is charged per vehicle for the whole group, never per person, so the number you agree to at booking is the number for everyone aboard. The listed price is one-way — a round trip is simply that price twice, and booking both legs together keeps one driver and one confirmed pickup on each end. A child seat is $20 when you need one, so mention it at booking and it is fitted in advance. Adding a stop along the route runs $45 per half hour.
Daytime hours run 7 AM to 9 PM with nothing added. A pickup outside that window carries a night fee set by the vehicle: for the SUV it is $20 when the trip stays inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 once it reaches farther out, which is where this run to the Orlando area lands. Vans add 10 percent of the trip value for off-hours pickups. Book the time you truly need, and any fee is confirmed up front rather than sprung at the curb.
Nothing on your end. The driver follows your inbound flight and moves the pickup to match, whether you arrive early or hours behind schedule, at no added cost. The included waiting window — two hours for international arrivals, one for domestic — already covers an everyday delay.
Each traveler can count on one checked bag plus a carry-on, and the driver helps load and unload every piece. Carrying more than that, or something oversized? Send a WhatsApp note before travel day so the room is confirmed or a larger van is set. Treat the standard allowance as a starting point, not a hard ceiling.
Yes, with a heads-up on WhatsApp beforehand. A small pet rides inside a carrier, so flag it at booking and the right vehicle is matched to your group and your pet. That keeps the trip comfortable for everyone the whole way.
Per vehicle, every time. There is no shared shuttle on this route — each private SUV or van is held only for your party, so the flat figure in the pricing list covers the whole group whether one person rides or five. A round trip is billed as twice the one-way.
On a drive this long, one short comfort break for a restroom or a snack can be arranged at no charge — just ask when you book. Past that planned pause, the ride runs straight through from MIA to your door. Any further stop beyond the free break is billed at $45 per half hour.
Reserve a private one-way ride and lock the vehicle for your arrival date. Send your flight number, passenger count, and Alafaya address, and the pickup time and fare come back confirmed for your group. Message on WhatsApp or call 786-682-8748 — booking a little ahead makes it easier to match your exact landing.
Reserving a few days ahead is ideal, and in peak season (holidays, spring break, big cruise weekends) a week or more keeps your first-choice vehicle available. Requests inside 24 hours are welcome but depend on availability, and those bookings are non-refundable once confirmed.
We run on reservations rather than on-demand pickups. A same-day request may still work if a driver is free: message us on WhatsApp with the pickup time and we will confirm quickly. Keep in mind that a ride booked within 24 hours of pickup cannot be refunded.
No. A 50% deposit holds the vehicle when you book online, and the other half goes to your driver on the day of the ride, in cash or by card. If you prefer to settle everything at once, choose Pay in full at checkout.
Yes. After the deposit, the remaining half is paid directly to your driver when the ride is done, cash or card, whichever you prefer. There is nothing else to pay unless you added an extra service.
Cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the pickup. Inside that 24-hour window the ride is non-refundable, and no-shows are treated the same way. Booking details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can still be updated until 12 hours before pickup.
The pickup time and other details can be adjusted until 12 hours before the ride, subject to driver availability; write to us as soon as your plans change. The travel date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Payments run through Stripe over an encrypted checkout; we never see your card number. Card payments carry a 3% processing fee that is shown before you pay. Zelle is also accepted for the deposit with no fee: ask us on WhatsApp.
Not at all. Travelers reserve from all over the world, international cards are accepted at checkout, and we answer on WhatsApp and email in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Yes. Give us the flight number when you book and your driver tracks it in real time, so the pickup follows the actual landing rather than the scheduled one, at no extra cost.
Message us the moment you know. We reschedule around the new arrival whenever a driver is available; because that counts as a change to the booking, the cancellation terms above still apply if the ride cannot be rebooked.
Your driver meets you at the MIA arrivals level at the curb, and that meet-and-greet is included in the fare. If you would rather be greeted inside the terminal with a name sign, add the name-sign welcome for $20 when you book.
You receive the meeting instructions in advance, and the driver contacts you the day before the ride to confirm every detail. On landing, head to the agreed curb; connect to the airport Wi-Fi and message us on WhatsApp if anything is unclear.
The day before the ride we send the driver’s name and phone number, and the vehicle details you need to spot the car. Vehicle photos on the site show the category booked; the exact model can vary.
Call or WhatsApp us at +1 (786) 682-8748 and we connect you right away. The pickup is always coordinated at the confirmed spot, and the courtesy waiting time keeps running from your landing or your scheduled pickup.
At the airport we wait up to 60 minutes after landing on domestic flights and up to 2 hours on international arrivals; at hotels, homes and the cruise port the courtesy wait is 15 minutes. Beyond that, waiting is billed like an extra stop, $45 per 30 minutes.
The distance and the usual driving time for this exact route are listed on this page. Real timing depends on traffic and the hour, which is why the driver plans the pickup around your actual landing or ship arrival rather than a fixed clock time.
Yes. Your driver loads and unloads every bag at the curb. Drivers do not go inside the hotel or terminal to collect luggage, so have it with you at the meeting point.
Each passenger can bring one large suitcase plus one carry-on. The black SUV carries up to 5 passengers as long as passengers plus large suitcases total 10 or fewer; larger groups or extra bags move to a van. Surfboards, bikes or many extra cases need a custom setup, so tell us before booking.
Yes. Add them when you book: a child seat for babies and toddlers up to about 3 years, or a booster for ages 3 to 5. Each seat is $20 and is fitted before the driver leaves for the pickup.
Planned stops are fine when you add them at booking, priced at $45 per 30 minutes with a 30-minute minimum, then $1.50 per extra minute. Unplanned detours on the day are not part of the fare.
Never. Every transfer is private: the vehicle carries only your group, door to door, with no other pickups and no waiting for strangers.
A black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a van for 6 to 9 and a larger van for 10 to 14. The fare table on this page shows the price for each. For groups above 14 we arrange several vehicles or a minibus on a custom quote.
No. We pick up and drop off at Miami International Airport, PortMiami and the other cruise terminals, hotels, private homes, offices and event venues across South Florida and beyond.
Yes. Wedding parties, corporate groups and private events get a tailored quote with the right mix of vehicles; message us with the date, head count and schedule.
Between 9 PM and 7 AM the black SUV adds a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 farther out. The fee is shown in the quote before you book, and daytime rides carry no surcharge.
The fare shown is for the exact route named on this page. For a different pickup or drop-off address, use the ride search on this site: it prices the real road distance instantly and lets you book on the spot.
The fare includes the driver, fuel and tolls, with no hidden fees. Only optional items add to it: the 3% card fee, a name-sign welcome, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
We came as a group and wanted everyone and the luggage in one ride from the airport to Alafaya. Honestly the easiest part of our whole trip — getting in was completely stress-free. The SUV was spotless, a nice relief in the Miami heat. Can’t recommend it enough.
On time, professional, and we were at the door in Alafaya before we knew it. The driver got us right to the quiet street, which isn’t always easy in a residential area.
Traveling with the kids, I did NOT want to wrangle a taxi at MIA, so I booked a private van out to Alafaya. Our flight was delayed and the driver was still there waiting — not a worry at all. The kids were wiped out after the flight, and getting straight to Alafaya without a taxi hassle was a relief. Highly recommend.
First time flying into Miami by myself to stay in Alafaya, and having someone there at arrivals took all the stress out of it.
We weren’t about to juggle luggage and kids in a taxi line, so we booked a private ride from the airport to Alafaya. The driver was clearly knew the area, exactly what you want after a flight. No taxi line, no rideshare surge — we walked out and the car was ready. Made getting to Alafaya so simple.
