From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Book with the flight number and the driver watches it land. Meet at the arrivals curb, where the greeting is part of the price, or choose the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign for an extra $40. The driver handles the luggage and heads straight out, no other passengers, no stops unless you add them.
Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites sits in Fort Lauderdale, the coastal city that stretches along a well-known beachfront promenade on Florida’s southeast shore. The property gives you a home base close to the water and to the parts of town most travelers come to see, so you are settled into Fort Lauderdale rather than somewhere on the outskirts. It is a straightforward place to base a trip built around the beach, the port, or a stretch of both.
Step outside and the city’s landmarks are within easy reach. Las Olas Boulevard, the dining and gallery strip that runs through the center of Fort Lauderdale, gathers restaurants and shops nearby. The New River threads its waterways through downtown, and the beachfront promenade lines the sand a short trip away. Fort Lauderdale Beach itself is among the closest points of interest once you have checked in, and having these sights close by means less time in transit after you arrive.
The city also sits close to Port Everglades and its cruise terminals, so the hotel works whether you are staying a few nights or connecting to a ship the next morning. For a quieter afternoon, the Bonnet House and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park are both within reach of Fort Lauderdale. Details on the property itself — the rooms, the amenities, and check-in times — are kept on Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites’s own page, so you can confirm those before you travel and simply arrive knowing your ride is already arranged.
Your ride begins the moment you clear arrivals at Miami International Airport. The driver tracks your flight, so an early or late landing simply shifts the pickup, and meets you curbside as you come out with your bags. There is no line to join and no separate car to find — the vehicle is reserved for your group alone and heads straight for Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites.
From MIA the driver follows I-95 north toward Fort Lauderdale while you settle in, luggage stowed in the vehicle and the route handled for you. It is a single, door-to-door trip with no transfer and no stop you did not ask for, ending right at the hotel entrance. Tolls and fuel are already built into the flat fare, so nothing changes on arrival beyond the driver helping you out with the bags.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
A 50% deposit reserves the ride online; the balance is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
One child seat or booster is included when you book, and each additional one is $20. Night service, meaning 9 PM to 7 AM, adds $20 to the SUV inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. Extra stops are metered at $45 per 30 minutes.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
Yes for the details: add a passenger, a child seat or a note up to 12 hours before the pickup time. No for the date, which stays as booked.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
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. The first seat or booster is included with your booking, each additional one is $20, and they are 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, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Getting a big group out of the airport is usually a headache — one pre-booked van to Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites made it effortless. The fare was fixed and agreed up front — exactly what we were quoted, which we really appreciated after traveling. The SUV was spotless, a nice relief in the Miami heat.
Llegando a Miami solo, no tenía ganas de la fila de taxis después de un vuelo largo, así que reservé un traslado privado a Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites. El conductor se ocupó del equipaje para que no tuviera que batallar con nada tras el vuelo. El conductor fue un conductor seguro y tranquilo, justo lo que quieres tras un vuelo.
Our whole group rode together straight from MIA, and it worked out great. There was space to spare for the whole group and all our luggage in one van. The driver handled the luggage so we didn’t have to struggle with anything after the flight.
Flying into Miami solo, I wasn’t up for the taxi line after a long flight, so I booked a private ride to Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites. The car was clean, cool, and comfortable, a nice relief in the Miami heat. It was a private car with no one else to pick up, which made the ride to Dolphin Isles Hotel and Suites easy and calm.
Pousei em MIA depois de um dia longo de viagem e foi muito bom ter meu próprio motorista já me esperando. Reservar foi fácil, recebi uma confirmação clara, e tudo bateu com o que me falaram. Sinceramente a parte mais fácil da minha viagem — tudo resolvido desde que pousei. Obrigado pela chegada tão simples!
