From $200 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Hotel Vila Galé Ericeira in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Your driver tracks the flight and adjusts to the real landing time, then meets you at the arrivals level of Miami International Airport. Curbside meet-and-greet is included; if you prefer to be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet option for $40. Once the bags are in the vehicle, the ride is direct and door to door.
Hotel Vila Galé Ericeira is your destination in Margate, a settled community in North Broward well west of the coastline. This is the suburban belt of the region, a spread of planned neighborhoods and everyday conveniences rather than a tight downtown, so the hotel feels calm and easy to reach once you are off the highway. Arriving by private car means you are dropped right at the entrance, luggage and all, without circling for parking or hunting for the door.
The surrounding area gives you plenty to fill a stay. The vast Sawgrass Mills outlet mall is within easy reach for a full afternoon of shopping, and the Florida Panthers’ arena sits nearby for game nights and events. If you want something quieter, the Plantation Historical Museum offers a local, unhurried look at the area’s past, while Everglades Holiday Park puts open wetlands and airboat country within a short drive. Together these give you a mix of retail, sport, history, and nature all anchored around the same corner of North Broward.
What you find on arrival is a straightforward, well-placed base. Because Margate sits inland along the main road network, getting to and from the hotel is direct, and your driver knows the local turns that get you to the door cleanly. Whether you are here for a night before a longer trip or settling in for several days, the location keeps the airport run simple and keeps the area’s shopping, arena, museum, and outdoor draws all within comfortable reach of your room.
Your driver is already waiting when you land, tracking the flight so the pickup lines up with your real arrival rather than a guessed time. After you clear the terminal at MIA’s arrivals level, you are met, your bags go into the vehicle, and you head out as one group in a car reserved only for you. There is no line to stand in and no waiting on an app to match you with a car.
From the curb it is a single, direct leg toward Margate, with the luggage loaded and the route handled for you. The trip usually runs about 49 to 64 minutes door to door, with traffic the only real variable. Because the pickup follows your actual landing, an early or late flight is absorbed without a new booking, so you simply step off the plane and ride straight to Hotel Vila Galé Ericeira.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. The first child seat or booster is included; each additional one is $20. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
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.
As a solo traveler I booked the airport pickup to Hotel Vila Galé Ericeira ahead of time, and it made arriving painless. Traveling on my own, I felt in good hands from arrivals all the way to Hotel Vila Galé Ericeira.
Our whole group booked one van straight from MIA, and it worked out great. The driver took care of the suitcases so we didn’t have to struggle with anything after the flight. The ride to Hotel Vila Galé Ericeira was easy and door-to-door.
We weren’t going to juggle luggage and kids in a taxi line, so we booked a private car from the airport to Hotel Vila Galé Ericeira. The fare was fixed and agreed up front — no meter, no surprises, which we really appreciated after traveling. The SUV was clean, cool, and comfortable, and the AC was perfect.
Landing with tired kids, it made all the difference that the driver was right there at arrivals with room for everyone. The driver dropped us straight at Hotel Vila Galé Ericeira. The van was really comfortable after a long flight, and the AC was perfect.
Loved it — so much better than a taxi. They kept an eye on the flight, so even though we landed late, the car was ready and waiting.
