From $200 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Tides Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
Tides Inn sits in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a small beach town on the South Florida coast. The shoreline is close, so a stay here often begins just steps from the sand — you can drop your bags, change, and be walking the beach within minutes of settling in. That easy proximity to the water is the whole appeal, and it shapes how most guests spend their days: near the ocean, on foot, with little need to drive anywhere once they have arrived.
The surrounding town keeps things within reach. Anglin’s Fishing Pier, a historic local landmark, is a short outing, and the streets nearby — Datura Avenue among them — carry the low-key, walkable feel that Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is known for. El Prado Park gives you a green spot to slow down, and the shore-dive reef just off the beach is one of the reasons visitors return year after year.
That reef is the town’s signature. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is famous for shore diving straight off the sand, so snorkelers and divers can wade in from the beach rather than boarding a boat. Arriving at Tides Inn, you land in a compact, coastal setting where the ocean, the pier, and a handful of quiet parks are all part of the same short stretch. It is the kind of place where unpacking and heading straight out feels natural, and where much of what you came for is waiting a few steps from the door.
The ride from Miami International Airport to Tides Inn is a single, direct trip. Your driver meets you curbside as you come out of arrivals, helps with the bags, and loads them into the vehicle, so everything you traveled with stays in one car from the airport to the door of your stay. There is no transfer along the way and no stop you did not ask for — just one private vehicle carrying your group toward the coast.
Because the driver tracks your inbound flight, an early or late landing simply shifts the pickup to match, at no extra charge. You do not need to rush or coordinate anything once you are on the ground; the car is arranged for your actual arrival time. When you reach Tides Inn, the driver brings you right to the entrance and helps with the luggage again, so the last stretch is as easy as the first.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. The first child seat or booster is included on request; each additional one is $20. Extra stops along the way are $45 per 30 minutes.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
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.
Landing with the whole crew, it made all the difference that the driver was waiting at arrivals with room for everyone. The kids dozed off in the car, and getting straight to Tides Inn without a taxi hassle was perfect. They tracked the landing, so even though we got in behind schedule, the car was right there.
Our group of friends booked one van straight from MIA, and it could not have been easier. We were picked up right on time, no waiting around. The driver took care of the suitcases so we didn’t have to lift a thing after the flight.
Landing with the whole crew, it made all the difference that the driver was right there at arrivals with room for everyone. Landing late at night, it was so reassuring to have a private car already waiting instead of a taxi gamble.
Tras un vuelo de madrugada, lo último que queríamos era buscar auto — muy bueno que reservamos el traslado a Tides Inn. El conductor se ocupó del equipaje para que no tuviéramos que cargar nada tras el vuelo. Sinceramente la parte más fácil de nuestro viaje — todo resuelto desde que aterrizamos. Muy recomendable.
Qué bueno que reservamos con anticipación. Sin fila de taxis, auto limpio y gran conductor. Sin fila de taxis, sin esperar una app — salimos y el auto ya estaba ahí.
