From $570 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from MIA to Patrick AFB, driven door to door in one black SUV or van.
Each figure below is the whole-vehicle price for the trip to or from the base — set the moment you reserve and unmoved by traffic, demand, or the hour you leave.
Five passengers and their luggage ride the black SUV; a van covers six to nine, and the largest van seats up to fourteen, so a whole group travels together in one private vehicle on a single flat fare.
Your inbound flight is followed in real time, so the driver is already curbside when you walk out of the terminal with your bags — no app to open, no line, no hoping for a match. The day before you travel, a text arrives with the driver’s name, the vehicle, the plate, and exactly where to meet. Curbside meet-and-greet comes with every booking. Would you rather be met inside the terminal by a driver holding a name sign? That in-terminal pickup is an optional add-on at $40, chosen when you reserve.
Patrick Space Force Base occupies a slim barrier island on Florida’s Space Coast, with the open Atlantic to one side and the Banana River lagoon to the other. It is home to Space Launch Delta 45, the wing that supports the rocket launches all along Cape Canaveral, which lends the surrounding towns a plainly aerospace, service-member feel. The neighboring stretch — Cocoa Beach and Melbourne among the names — runs to quiet oceanfront streets, surf shops, and seafood counters rather than a big-city downtown. Much of the local traffic is families visiting personnel, contractors, and travelers in town for a launch. For the installation itself, the Space Launch Delta 45 site and the on-base support directory lay out lodging and visitor details.
Door to door, plan on roughly 198 to 205 minutes — the low end off-peak, the high end in traffic. The 195.1-mile (314.0 km) route leaves Miami heading north on Florida’s Turnpike, then picks up I-95 for the Space Coast run to Patrick AFB. Early departures sit near the bottom of that window, while heavy traffic around the city and the interchange piles on the extra minutes; coastal weather or a launch-day crowd can stretch it further, which is why the driver leaves with a cushion built in. On a haul this long a quick roadside break is easy to arrange, billed at $45 for each 30 minutes of added stop time. No matter what the road does that day, the flat fare you booked is the fare you pay.
A 50% deposit holds the booking, and the balance goes straight to your driver on the day of the trip. Every fare is charged for the whole vehicle, never by the head, so a solo flyer and a packed van each pay the listed rate for their tier. Payment is by Zelle, Venmo, or a secure link. Fuel, tolls, and every SunPass charge are already inside the fare, along with a driver who loads and unloads each bag at both ends; onboard WiFi and sealed water ride with you too. A child seat is $20 apiece, added when you reserve. Nothing new turns up at the curb — the balance you owe is the balance you agreed.
Daytime hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM, and anything inside that window carries no surcharge. A ride that begins outside it adds a one-time night fee to the SUV — $20 when the trip stays within Miami-Dade and Broward, or $50 for a run that reaches beyond those counties, as this one up to the Space Coast does. On the vans, the after-hours addition is 10% of the trip instead. The fee lands once, never by the hour.
Your arrival is tracked from the moment the plane is airborne, so a late touchdown simply re-times the pickup at no extra charge. If customs and baggage drag on, the driver follows the real landing and waits, meeting you when you actually clear the terminal. The rate and the vehicle stay exactly as booked — no rebooking, no scramble for a car at the curb.
The gate is the installation’s call, not the driver’s. Anyone with a valid military ID passes through as normal; a guest generally needs a sponsor to arrange a visitor pass in advance at the visitor center. Get your sponsor to arrange it ahead of your travel date and share how it landed, so the driver knows whether the drop is at your on-post quarters or at the gate.
Every rate on this page is a one-way, per-vehicle price. For a round trip, the return is simply the one-way fare a second time — reserve both legs together and the same class of vehicle brings you back to MIA on a confirmed pickup time. Booking the two directions at once keeps one driver and one plan across the whole itinerary.
Send over your flight number, how many passengers and bags, the pickup direction, and any child-seat needs on WhatsApp, and the driver, vehicle, and timing come back confirmed — with the complete driver details sent by text a day ahead. Message on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 to lock in your MIA to Patrick AFB ride.
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.
Our family of five came into MIA on the way to Patrick AFB and the driver had the car seat ready — huge relief. The SUV was spotless, and the AC was perfect. Landing after midnight into Patrick AFB, it was so reassuring to have a private car already waiting instead of a taxi gamble.
As a solo traveler I booked the airport pickup to Patrick AFB ahead of time and it was the best decision. I got dropped at the address in Patrick AFB, not left at some corner. The driver was in a sharp clean car, which made it feel first-class. Would book again in a heartbeat.
Traveling with our little ones, I did NOT want to wrangle a taxi at MIA, so I booked a private van out to Patrick AFB. We were in town to visit relatives in Patrick AFB, and starting the trip this easy meant a lot.
Our family of four arrived in Miami on the way to Patrick AFB and the driver helped with all our bags — huge relief.
Llegamos a Miami y empezar el viaje con una recogida privada directo a nuestro alojamiento en Patrick AFB fue la decisión correcta.
