From $120 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to Palmetto Estates, door to door in southern Miami-Dade.
One flat figure covers the whole vehicle, set the moment you reserve and holding steady no matter the traffic or the hour you land. Pick the tier that matches your group and its bags; the price follows the vehicle you choose, not the number of people in it.
Send your flight number when you book, and the driver follows the inbound plane in real time. As you step out of the terminal with your bags, the car is already at the arrivals curb — no app to open and no rideshare line to wait in. The night before, a text arrives with the driver’s name, the vehicle, and the plate, along with the exact spot to look for. A greeting at the curb comes with the fare; if you would rather be met inside holding a name sign as you clear the building, that add-on is $40. The bags go in the back, and the run south to Palmetto Estates begins.
Palmetto Estates sits roughly 20.8 miles — 33.5 kilometers — south of the airport, and the trip takes close to 29 minutes when the roads are open, stretching toward 49 in heavier traffic. Most of that distance runs along Florida’s Turnpike before the SR-836 Dolphin Expressway carries you the rest of the way, so the swing in time comes from volume near the airport and the interchange rather than from the route itself. Because the driver is watching your flight, an early or late landing simply moves the pickup; the clock that counts is your arrival, not a meter running at the curb. Heading the other way for a departing flight, an early-morning or mid-evening start tends to clear the fastest, so leave a margin for check-in and security.
Palmetto Estates is a peaceful residential pocket of southern Miami-Dade, built from single-family houses, palm-shaded streets, and small parks rather than towers and crowds. Daily life leans on nearby shopping plazas, casual restaurants, and open green space, while the wider region’s beaches and business districts stay a short drive off. It is a place where people actually live, so the streets stay quiet and there is room to pull up right at your door, which makes a private curb-to-curb drop-off easy to arrange. If you are house-hunting in the area, you can browse Palmetto Estates listings, and anyone headed to a celebration can find The Palmetto Estate venue online.
A booking is confirmed with a 50% deposit, and the balance is handed to the driver on the day you travel. The fare is charged per vehicle for the whole group, and pricing is one-way, so a round trip is simply the same figure again with both legs locked when you reserve. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are already inside the price, and a mobile hotspot rides along for the trip. A meet-and-greet is part of the fare; a name-sign pickup adds $40, and a child seat is $20. If you need the driver to create an extra stop along the way, that is billed at $45 per 30 minutes. Small pets are welcome in a carrier when you send a heads-up on WhatsApp beforehand.
Yes on both counts. The car carries only your party, with no pooling, no shared seats, and no detours to gather other travelers. You pay for the vehicle you reserve rather than per head, so two people in the SUV and five in the SUV settle the same $120. That private arrangement holds from the MIA curb the whole way to your Palmetto Estates address.
Daytime hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM with nothing added to the fare. Outside that window an SUV carries a flat $20 night charge on this route, while a van adds 10% to the trip value. The surcharge is applied once and shown to you before you confirm, so a late arrival never becomes a surprise at the curb.
A delay is already handled. The driver tracks the live flight, so a late or early landing just shifts the pickup at no extra cost. Courtesy waiting is built in as well — two hours on an international arrival, one hour on a domestic one — enough to cover customs and baggage without any extra charge. You keep the same car and the same rate you booked.
Yes. Because the price is one-way, the ride back to MIA costs the same as the ride out, and booking both directions together lets the driver hold your vehicle class and set the return pickup ahead of time. Send your outbound and return dates, and each leg is confirmed at the flat per-vehicle rate.
Reserve your private MIA to Palmetto Estates ride on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748. Share your flight number, your group size, your drop-off address in Palmetto Estates, plus any child-seat or pet requests, and the vehicle, pickup time, and flat fare come back confirmed for your party.
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. 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, 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.
