From $175 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale Airport – South & Cruise Port Hotel, door to Dania Beach.
Every price here attaches to the vehicle rather than the head count, and it settles the second you reserve — a couple riding alone pays the same one-way figure as a full van of fourteen.
Arrivals at every Miami International Airport terminal are covered, and the driver waits on the arrivals-level curb of the concourse your plane uses. Pass the flight number at booking and the meet is pinned to the real touchdown, so a long taxi or a slow walk from the gate moves nothing. Curbside is the meet-and-greet that comes with the fare; being found at baggage claim behind a name sign is an optional in-terminal add-on set at booking for $20. Either way the car is spoken for well ahead of your landing — no queue to stand in and no app to open.
The hotel stands in Dania Beach, a low-key slice of Broward County just south of Fort Lauderdale and a short hop from the cruise port. Its front desk sits at 1851 SE 10th Avenue, 33316 — worth sending along, because this corner of town packs several airport-adjacent hotels into a short stretch of road whose names read alike at the curb. The exact address lets the driver reach the right lobby on the first try. To size up rooms and amenities before you travel, the property lays them out on its own Hyatt Place Fort Lauderdale listing.
Count on 44 to 52 minutes to cover the 29.5 miles (47.4 km) from the airport to the door, with the exact number riding on when you travel. The route leans on the I-95 Express lanes for most of that distance, the quickest thread between MIA and Dania Beach. Land mid-morning or in the early afternoon and you tend to reach the 44-minute end; catch the weekday rush or a packed holiday weekend and I-95 loads up, pushing the same drive nearer 52. A cushion is built into each pickup, so even an early touchdown or a jammed stretch of I-95 ends with a peaceful drop at the entrance.
Numerous guests book the hotel for a night before a sailing and treat the final leg to the pier as its own short ride. Two things keep that hop punctual: the cruise terminals carry numbers instead of names, and boarding is released in staggered waves across the morning. Give the driver your terminal number and assigned boarding time, and the pickup is set against those rather than the departure hour — the last thing to happen on embarkation day. When a flight and a sailing fall on the same date, the hotel stop drops out and the driver runs straight from the MIA curb to the port.
Most of the charges that quietly attach to an airport run are already inside the fare. Every toll, SunPass reading and the fuel for the whole distance is settled up front, so there is no booth to pay at and no gas stop to make. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot for messages on the way. The bilingual driver — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — is part of the booking, not an extra. Luggage is handled too: the usual one checked bag plus a carry-on per person fits the SUV or private van, and anything larger is sorted beforehand on WhatsApp. Since the price is tied to the vehicle, the group rides from the airport curb to Dania Beach on a single figure, nothing added at drop-off.
Any pickup between 7 AM and 9 PM is billed at the quoted fare and nothing more. Schedule one outside those hours and a modest night charge attaches to the vehicle — a flat $20 on the black SUV, or ten percent of the trip value on either van. Since Dania Beach falls inside the Miami-Dade and Broward zone, that SUV night charge holds at $20 rather than the steeper amount kept for drop-offs farther afield. Very early or late-evening pickups are common here, so the after-hours figure is confirmed at booking, never sprung at the curb.
Payment is handled in two parts so booking is fast and travel day stays uncomplicated. A 50% deposit locks the reservation when you book, and the other half goes to the driver on the day you ride. That deposit can be sent by Zelle, Venmo or a secure booking link. The figure counts vehicles, never passengers, so one rider or a group of fourteen sees the same amount, and neither traffic nor a busy weekend shifts it. If an extra stop is added, the added waiting runs $45 per 30 minutes.
No. The flight is monitored from wheels-up, and if you land behind schedule the pickup time shifts on its own with nothing extra billed. A slow line at customs is covered the same way — the driver holds at the curb until you walk out. Because the flight number drives the whole plan, an off-schedule landing means a later meet, not a lost booking.
Fully private. The SUV or van carries only your party from the MIA curb to the hotel — no strangers aboard and no detours to gather other riders. A private shuttle here just means your own vehicle instead of a bus that fills with unrelated passengers, and that flat rate covers the whole vehicle whether five travel or fourteen.
Plan on the standard one bag checked plus a carry-on for each passenger; the black SUV and the vans are sized around exactly that load. Traveling with more, or something oversized like golf clubs or a stroller? Send a note on WhatsApp before the day and the room is confirmed, or you step up a vehicle size.
Both, with a heads-up. The first child seat rides free for a child younger than five, and each extra seat is $20, locked when you book. A small pet can ride along inside a carrier as well; flag it on WhatsApp when you book so the correct vehicle is set aside and the driver is ready for a passenger with paws. It stays with your group alone.
Yes. Give both dates and flight times up front and the return is scheduled ahead under the same booking; the price is simply the one-way rate doubled for your vehicle. The same curbside pickup and bilingual driver repeat on the way south to the airport. Numerous guests pair an arrival with a departure and keep the pre-cruise night in between.
Ready to lock it in? Send your flight number, party size and pickup date by WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748, and your vehicle and flat quote come back within minutes.
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.
