From $105 per vehicle: a flat-rate private one-way ride from MIA to Westwood Lakes, door to door.
Fares are set per vehicle for the whole group and stay fixed from the moment you book, so heavy traffic or peak demand never moves the number.
A meet-and-greet at the arrivals curb comes with every booking. Your driver follows the inbound flight in real time, so the pickup slides to match an early touchdown or a delay at no extra cost. Clear customs and baggage claim, step outside, and the reserved vehicle is already waiting at the curb — no rideshare lot to hunt through, no app to open. Would you rather be met inside the terminal with a printed name sign? That in-terminal pickup is an optional add-on of $20, arranged when you reserve.
Plan on roughly 20 minutes when the roads are quiet and up to about 33 minutes once rush-hour volume builds. The trip covers 12.8 miles (20.6 km), leaving Miami International Airport and heading west along the Dolphin Expressway — the SR-836 toll road — before easing into the residential streets of Westwood Lakes. Early mornings, late evenings, and mid-day lulls keep the drive near that 20-minute floor; weekday peaks and big-event days can tack a dozen minutes onto the expressway stretch. Since the fare is locked at booking, a slower crawl in traffic never adds a cent to what you pay.
Westwood Lakes is a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood in unincorporated west Miami-Dade, its name drawn from the small lakes threaded between blocks of single-family homes. This is a suburban pocket well away from the tourist crowds: tree-lined streets, community green space, and quick access to the highway corridors that tie it back to greater Miami. Rather than beaches or nightlife, the pocket runs to small parks, corner shopping plazas, and the everyday services a residential area needs, which makes it a calm base for people visiting relatives, relocating, or working nearby. Lodging tends to sit in the adjacent Doral and Sweetwater areas or in the airport district to the east. For community details, see the local neighborhood association.
The vehicle is held for your group and no one else — no pooled seats, no detours to pick up strangers, no rerouting. Because the rate is flat and fixed the instant you reserve, a peak-hour arrival costs the same as a quiet one. Drivers speak English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which eases the first stretch for international arrivals. Road tolls, SunPass, and fuel sit inside the price from the start, bags are loaded and unloaded for you at both ends, and the driver stays reachable on WhatsApp right through travel day. One vehicle, one confirmed pickup, a single door-to-door run — that is the whole point.
The quoted price carries the whole journey: the private vehicle, a bilingual driver, every toll and SunPass charge, fuel, and onboard WiFi over a mobile hotspot. The luggage allowance is one checked bag and one carry-on for each passenger; if bags are oversized or you are hauling extra, a quick WhatsApp message ahead of time confirms the room or moves you to a larger van. A few items sit outside the base fare — a child seat is $20, and any added stop along the route runs $45 per 30 minutes — and both are settled when you book. The curbside meet-and-greet, by contrast, is already folded into the ride.
A 50% deposit confirms the booking and holds the vehicle for your date; the remaining half is paid straight to the driver on the day of travel. Pricing is one-way and charged per vehicle — the single fare covers the entire group rather than a per-person tally — and a round trip is merely that one-way rate doubled, with the same driver carrying you back to the airport. Book both legs together and one confirmed pickup time covers each direction.
Between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM the daytime rate applies and nothing extra is added. A pickup or drop-off outside those hours carries a modest night fee, applied by vehicle type. For the Black SUV on a route that stays inside Miami-Dade, that fee is $20 per trip — and since the neighborhood sits in west Miami-Dade, the in-county rate is the one that applies here.
Nothing changes on your end. The driver tracks the flight live and shifts your pickup to the real landing time free of charge, early or late. Courtesy waiting runs up to two hours for an international arrival and one hour for a domestic one, so a slow customs line or delayed bags stays well within the included window.
No. The ride is booked for your party alone — no strangers in the seats, no pooled passengers, no side stops to collect anyone else. From the airport curb to your front door, the Black SUV or van stays reserved for your group across the full one-way trip.
The typical allowance is one checked bag and one carry-on for each passenger, and the SUV and vans are picked to hold a full group’s bags. Traveling with oversized or extra pieces? Send a WhatsApp note before the trip and the driver either confirms the room or moves you into a larger van. Loading and unloading at both ends is handled for you.
Yes. The same private service runs from Westwood Lakes back to Miami International Airport, and onward to PortMiami or other South Florida points when you need it. Airport pickups themselves stage from MIA or PortMiami, so give the return address at booking and the vehicle, driver, and pickup time are set for each leg.
Both are easy to arrange. A child seat is available for $20, added to the booking when you reserve. A small pet is welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, riding in a proper pet carrier. Flag either request during booking so the driver has everything ready at the curb.
Ready to lock your MIA to Westwood Lakes transfer? Message the trip on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your flight number, arrival date, group size, and the drop-off address, and the vehicle and driver are 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.
Your driver meets you at the MIA arrivals level at the curb, and that meet-and-greet is included in the fare. If you would rather be greeted inside the terminal with a name sign, add the name-sign welcome for $20 when you book.
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, a name-sign welcome, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Llegando con los niños cansados a nuestro alojamiento en Westwood Lakes, hizo toda la diferencia que el conductor estuviera esperando en llegadas.
A few friends and I flew into MIA and booked one private van from the airport out to Westwood Lakes. The driver got us right to the quiet street, which isn’t always easy in a residential area. Tolls and everything were already included, so we just didn’t have to think about a thing on the way to Westwood Lakes. Made getting to Westwood Lakes so simple.
Éramos seis llegando a MIA, y un traslado privado a Westwood Lakes fue mucho más simple que dividirnos en autos. Había espacio de sobra para todo el grupo y todas las maletas en una sola van hacia Westwood Lakes. El viaje a Westwood Lakes fue más rápido de lo que esperábamos, sin desvíos.
First time flying into Miami by myself to stay in Westwood Lakes, and having someone there at arrivals made it so easy. The driver got me right to the quiet street, which isn’t always easy in a residential area.
Como viajero independiente, reservé la recogida en el aeropuerto a Westwood Lakes con anticipación y fue la mejor decisión. El conductor cargó todas mis maletas para que no tuviera que batallar con nada. Viajando por mi cuenta, me sentí en buenas manos desde llegadas hasta Westwood Lakes.
