From $100 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from MIA to Casa Faena Hotel in Mid-Beach, curb to door.
Every figure below is the price of the whole vehicle rather than a per-seat charge, locked the moment you reserve and never redrawn for the hour or the traffic. Pick the class that fits your group.
Your driver is curbside at Miami International Airport, standing where you emerge from the terminal with your bags in hand. Add your flight number to the booking and the arrival is watched in real time, so a plane that touches down early or hours late simply drags the pickup along with it — no call to place, nothing to rebook, and no extra charge for the wait. That curbside meet is already inside the fare. If you would rather be found inside at baggage claim under a name sign, the in-terminal greeting is a $40 add-on you set when you reserve.
Count on 15 to 25 minutes from the curb to the hotel door. Slip out mid-morning or later in the evening, when the lanes run quiet, and the trip lands near the short end; the morning and late-afternoon crush nudges it toward 25. The exit from the airport rides the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) east across town toward the beach. If a dinner table or an event is booked on the far end, set the pickup with a little slack — the driver still reads live conditions to keep the run as tight as the roads allow.
By road, the terminal-to-hotel run measures 12.4 miles, about 19.9 kilometers — a compact hop for a city as sprawling as Miami. That number stays put no matter what the day’s traffic invents, and so does the price, which is pinned to your destination and your vehicle rather than the odometer or the clock.
Casa Faena Hotel sits at 3500 Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach, a restored Mediterranean Revival building that stays small and design-led instead of sprawling. It belongs to the wider Faena District — the art-and-architecture pocket the neighborhood is known for — and the Atlantic sand is a short walk from the entrance. Step outside for oceanfront promenades, Collins Avenue cafes, and a steady run of galleries and cultural nights, all the ocean without the density of the south end. The hotel’s own page has more on the property.
Booking comes in two easy halves. A 50% deposit holds the vehicle and your pickup window; you hand the balance straight to the driver on the day you travel. Pay the deposit through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link over WhatsApp, and the exact amounts reach with your confirmation. The rate is charged per vehicle, and since pricing runs one-way, a round trip is just the fare doubled — booked in a single reservation so one driver carries both legs.
Daytime runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with nothing added on top. Step outside that window and a small night line applies, set by the vehicle:
The flat figure buys the entire door-to-door ride — the private vehicle, the assigned driver, and the tolls, SunPass, and fuel along the way, so nothing is settled on the road. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, putting you back online the moment you sit down, and the typical allowance — a checked bag and a carry-on for each traveler — is loaded for you. The driver is bilingual, comfortable in English and in Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the first ride after a long flight. Outside the fare the list is short: one child seat for an under-five rides free, and any extra seat adds a small charge set at booking; small pets are welcome too, as long as you flag them on WhatsApp ahead of time and bring a proper carrier; and an added stop, if you need one on the way, runs $45 per half hour.
Yes — every booking stays private to your party alone, with no strangers and no shared route. The black SUV seats up to five; the vans take six to nine or ten to fourteen, so a bigger family stays together in one vehicle rather than splitting across cars. Give the driver your head count at booking and the right class is matched before pickup.
Message the number on WhatsApp with your date, pickup time, passenger count, and flight number, and the fare and matching vehicle come straight back. The moment the deposit clears, that driver and that vehicle are committed to your exact slot. Note any child-seat or pet needs in the same message so everything is ready before the car rolls toward MIA.
Each traveler’s allowance is a checked case plus a cabin bag, and the driver loads all of it for you. Carrying extra pieces or something oversized? Drop a WhatsApp note ahead of the day and either the space is confirmed or you move up to a larger private van, so nobody rides with a suitcase on their lap.
For a door-to-door run to Casa Faena Hotel, a private transfer is the shortest line there is — you walk out, the bags go in, and the car heads straight for Mid-Beach. Public buses do exist, but from the airport they usually mean at least one change and a walk at the far end with your luggage. One reserved vehicle skips all of that.
The Faena name sits over more than one address along Collins Avenue, so a driver handed only the brand could reach the district but the wrong door. Put 3500 Collins Avenue beside the hotel name in your booking message and the meeting point is settled before you ever reach the terminal. A specific street number tells the driver far more than a district name ever will.
Lock in your private ride from MIA to Casa Faena Hotel with one message. Reach WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your flight number, date, pickup time, and passenger count, and a confirmation naming your vehicle and fare comes right back.
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.
My partner and I wanted to skip the airport taxi chaos, so we arranged a private ride to Casa Faena Hotel. A smooth, easy start to the two of us being on vacation.
So glad we pre-booked. No taxi line, clean car, and a great driver. No taxi line, no rideshare surge — we just walked out and the car was ready.
No íbamos a hacer malabares con maletas y niños en la fila de taxis, así que reservamos un auto privado del aeropuerto a Casa Faena Hotel. El conductor fue profesional y cortés, justo lo que quieres tras un vuelo.
For an easy arrival, my husband and I booked this to get from MIA straight to Casa Faena Hotel.
Clean car, easy pickup, and a driver who knew exactly where Casa Faena Hotel was. Would book again. It was a private car for our party alone, which made the ride to Casa Faena Hotel relaxed.
