From $125 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to Sea View Hotel Bal Harbour — a black SUV or van at a flat rate.
The number below covers the entire vehicle for a private one-way trip, set the moment you reserve and unaffected by rush hour or demand — pick the row that matches your party.
Standard pickup is curbside. As you step out of the terminal with your bags, the driver is already waiting along the arrivals roadway, so bags load within a minute — no parking deck to circle, no rideshare lot to track down. A quick WhatsApp message confirms the exact lane and door for your terminal. The curbside meet-and-greet comes with the ride; if you would rather be met inside with a name sign — handy after a long international flight — that in-terminal greeting is an optional $40. One driver and one vehicle are assigned when you book, so nobody is handed off or reassigned. Heading back, the driver collects you at the Sea View Hotel entrance and returns you to your departure terminal.
Share your flight number and the inbound is watched from pushback to touchdown. Land early and the vehicle is already positioned; land late and the pickup merely slides to your real arrival time at no extra cost. Nothing has to be re-requested after you taxi in, and the fare never climbs because the airline ran behind. The driver factors in immigration and baggage, then pulls to the curb as you walk out. A slow customs hall or a gate change costs you neither the ride nor the rate you locked in.
Plan on roughly 42 minutes in light traffic and up to 46 when the roads fill, across 16.2 miles — about 26.1 kilometers. Leaving MIA, the driver takes the Airport Expressway (SR-112 Toll) and heads northeast toward the oceanfront and the Bal Harbour village. By Miami standards it is a short hop; the mileage never changes, only the pace, so the driver reads live conditions and picks the cleanest lanes on the day. Weekday rush hours, weekend beach traffic near the coast, and holiday weeks push the drive toward the top of the range. Leave a little slack for immigration and baggage, and most groups arrive at the hotel comfortably within the time quoted when they booked.
Match the vehicle to your headcount and everyone rides together, luggage and all. Every tier is private and held for your group alone — no shared seats, nobody collected along the way.
The Sea View Hotel sits right on the Atlantic, on the ocean side of Collins Avenue in Bal Harbour — a calm, upscale beach village at the northern end of the Miami Beach barrier island, just short of Baker’s Haulover Inlet. Its entrance drive opens straight off Collins Avenue, so you unload in the hotel’s own forecourt rather than at the edge of a busy road. The village itself is small and easy to walk: wide, clean sand along one edge, an open-air designer shopping district across the road, and high-end restaurants, cafés, and kosher spots close at hand. It runs quieter than South Beach, which suits travelers who want the ocean without the late-night crowd, and Surfside and Bay Harbor Islands sit only a short hop away. For rooms and rates, see the hotel’s official site, and the Bal Harbour visitor guide lays out the shops, dining, and the village layout.
Road tolls, the SunPass, and fuel are already inside the quoted number, so nothing new is added when you reach Collins Avenue. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, useful for checking a reservation or messaging family on the way in. The vehicle is private and reserved for your group, and the driver is bilingual — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — so plans are easy to settle in your own language. The curbside meet is part of the ride. A child seat can be added for $20 each, fitted when you ask for it at booking, and any extra stop along the way runs $45 per 30 minutes. Beyond those, your confirmation figure is what you pay for the trip.
Half the fare is due when you reserve, and the balance goes straight to the driver on travel day. Payment is by secure link, Venmo, or Zelle, sent over WhatsApp or through the website, and the rate is per vehicle — never per seat. Pricing is one-way, so a round trip is just the one-way fare doubled, reserved in one booking that covers both directions. There’s no surcharge on daytime pickups, which run from 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window a night fee applies — $20 on the SUV, or ten percent on either van.
You pay by the vehicle, not by the seat. One flat figure from the price list above covers your whole group — even a single rider pays the same as a full SUV of five. Filling the van to capacity doesn’t move the number either.
Yes — the return runs just like the arrival. Give the pickup time at Sea View Hotel and the driver has you at your departure terminal with room to spare before check-in. Reserve both directions in one booking and a single private vehicle handles the whole round trip, each leg at the one-way price.
Figure one checked bag and a carry-on for each passenger. Five people’s luggage fits the SUV comfortably, and the vans take on more for larger groups. Traveling with oversized or extra bags? Send a WhatsApp note beforehand and we’ll confirm the space or move you to a bigger van.
Traveling with a small dog or cat? Give us a heads-up on WhatsApp and it can ride along in a carrier. On the family side, a child seat runs $20 apiece and is installed before pickup — tell us how numerous at booking. Flag both when you reserve so the right setup is ready at pickup.
The hotel sits at 9909 Collins Avenue, Bal Harbour, FL 33154. Include that number when you book: Collins is a long avenue lined with building after building, and the driver keys it in for an exact drop-off. That ZIP, 33154, also covers the surrounding village.
Ready to lock in your MIA to Bal Harbour ride? Message us on WhatsApp or call 786-682-8748 with your flight number, arrival date, party size, and the Bal Harbour drop-off address, and we’ll confirm the vehicle and the flat rate.
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.
Private, on time, and stress-free from the moment we landed. Exactly what you want after a flight. The kids dozed off in the car, and getting straight to Sea View Hotel Bal Harbour without a taxi hassle was perfect.
Ruta inteligente. Reservé fácil. Recomiendo. Ayudó con maletas. Ahorramos 15 minutos vs la fila de Uber.
There were five of us arriving in Miami, and one private transfer to Sea View Hotel Bal Harbour was the easy way. The van was spotless, a nice relief in the Miami heat. Our flight came in late and the driver adjusted with no problem — not a worry at all.
My wife and I booked a private transfer from Miami Airport to Sea View Hotel Bal Harbour so we wouldn’t have to wait on a rideshare after our flight.
Nuestro grupo fue todo junto directo desde MIA, y no pudo ser más fácil. El conductor se ocupó del equipaje para que no tuviéramos que cargar nada tras el vuelo. El auto estaba impecable, un alivio con el calor de Miami.
