From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Ocean Reef Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Ocean Reef Hotel is a place to stay close to Fort Lauderdale, set near the coast where the city meets the water. With the shoreline so near, a stay here often begins just steps from the sand, so you can drop your bags and head straight out into the day. It is an easy base whether you are in town for a few nights or passing through on the way to something else.
Fort Lauderdale wraps a well-known beachfront promenade, the Las Olas Boulevard strip of dining rooms and galleries, the calm New River waterways, and the cruise terminals at Port Everglades. From Ocean Reef Hotel, plenty of that is within easy reach. Las Olas Boulevard and the Riverwalk are close by, and both Port Everglades and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park sit near enough to fold into a day out. The mix of beach, water, and walkable streets gives the area its steady pull.
Because Fort Lauderdale sits close to the cruise terminals, the same private ride works whether you are settling in for the night or connecting straight through to a ship at Port Everglades. Our side of the trip is the transfer itself; questions about rooms, rates, and on-site amenities belong to Ocean Reef Hotel’s own official page, which will always have the current details. What we handle is getting your party there in comfort, on time, and with the whole vehicle to yourselves.
This is a door-to-door private ride. After you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport, your driver is already waiting to meet you, helps load the bags into the vehicle, and heads out toward Ocean Reef Hotel in one direct trip. Your luggage rides with you, the car is held for your party alone, and there are no extra stops or pooled pickups along the way. The driver follows your inbound flight in real time, so a late landing simply shifts the pickup to match, at no extra charge.
The drive to Ocean Reef Hotel usually runs about 46 to 59 minutes, door to door. Off-peak, the roads move quickly and you land near the shorter end; morning and late-afternoon rush push the time toward the higher end, which is exactly why the driver watches your flight and adjusts the pickup rather than leaving you to wait. One booking, one coordinated arrival, one flat fare agreed up front.
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.
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.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
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.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
With the little ones, pre-booking the airport transfer to Ocean Reef Hotel meant no stress when we landed. The driver dropped us straight at Ocean Reef Hotel.
No soporto el caos de buscar un rideshare al salir de MIA, así que coordiné un auto privado a Ocean Reef Hotel. Viajando por mi cuenta, me sentí en buenas manos desde arribos hasta Ocean Reef Hotel. La tarifa fue fija y acordada de antemano — exactamente lo cotizado, que agradecí después de viajar.
There were seven of us arriving in Miami, and one private transfer to Ocean Reef Hotel was way simpler than splitting into cars. The van was clean, cool, and comfortable, a nice relief in the Miami heat.
La forma perfecta de empezar el viaje. Muy recomendable. El auto estaba limpio, fresco y cómodo, y el aire acondicionado perfecto.
After a long flight, the last thing we wanted was to hunt for a car — so glad we pre-arranged the transfer to Ocean Reef Hotel. We were on our way within minutes of clearing arrivals, no waiting around.
