From $105 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Sonesta Beach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
The pickup follows the flight, not the schedule you booked weeks ago, so an early landing or a late one changes only the meeting time. You are met at MIA arrivals with the greeting included in the fare, and the Meet & Greet inside the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40 more. From there it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Sonesta Beach Resort stands on Key Biscayne, an island village reached across the Rickenbacker Causeway from Miami. Crossing that span leaves the mainland behind and drops you onto a slim barrier island where the pace shifts and the water is never far. It is the kind of address where a chauffeured arrival makes sense, because once the causeway is behind you the resort is the destination and little else competes for your attention.
The island is framed by green on both ends. Crandon Park spreads across the northern reach, and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park anchors the southern tip, where the Cape Florida Lighthouse marks the point. Between them sits the village itself, compact and walkable, with the Atlantic on one side and Biscayne Bay on the other. That setting is what draws travelers to Sonesta Beach Resort in the first place, and it is easy to reach the park trails, the lighthouse, and the surrounding shoreline once you have settled in.
Because the coast wraps so close to Key Biscayne, a stay here often begins only steps from the sand. You can unpack and head straight out toward the water without a long walk or another drive. The specifics of the property itself, the rooms, the on-site amenities, and check-in timing, are kept current by the resort, so confirm those directly. What a private transfer handles is the part before all of that, delivering you and your bags to the door so the island time starts the moment you arrive.
Your driver is waiting when you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport, watching your actual landing rather than a fixed slot, so a delayed or early flight simply moves the pickup. There is no queue to stand in and no wondering where the car is. You are met at the curb, your luggage goes into the vehicle, and the whole car is yours for a direct run out to Key Biscayne, with no shared stops along the way.
From MIA the route heads toward the Rickenbacker Causeway and across onto the island, ending at the door of Sonesta Beach Resort. Plan on roughly 29 to 36 minutes depending on traffic, with rush hour landing at the slower end and off-peak moving quicker. It is one smooth, door-to-door ride, and the pace stays calm because everything, from the timing to the route, is arranged before you land.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
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.
The black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
Éramos sete pousando em Miami, e um traslado privativo até Sonesta Beach Resort foi bem mais simples que dividir em carros. O trajeto até Sonesta Beach Resort foi fácil, porta a porta. A tarifa foi fixa e combinada antes — exatamente o cotado, o que agradecemos depois da viagem.
My partner and I booked a private transfer from Miami Airport to Sonesta Beach Resort so we wouldn’t have to wait on a rideshare after our flight. No taxi line, no standing around waiting on an app — we just walked out and the car was there.
Traveling with our two kids, I was NOT about to wrangle a taxi at MIA, so I booked a private van to Sonesta Beach Resort. The driver handled the luggage so we didn’t have to struggle with anything after the flight.
Meu marido e eu reservamos um traslado privativo do Aeroporto de Miami até Sonesta Beach Resort para não procurar táxi depois do voo. O motorista cuidou da bagagem para não precisarmos batalhar com nada depois do voo. O motorista foi um motorista seguro e tranquilo, tudo bem impecável.
There were five of us landing at MIA, and one private transfer to Sonesta Beach Resort was way simpler than splitting into cars. The van was clean, cool, and comfortable, a nice relief in the Miami heat. It was a private car with no one else to pick up, which made the ride to Sonesta Beach Resort relaxed.
