From $125 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to Costa Hollywood Beach Resort, driver waiting at the curb.
Every price here is the whole-vehicle rate for a single direction, locked the moment the booking is confirmed and unmoved by traffic, demand, or the hour your flight lands.
The pickup happens at the terminal curb: your driver is already in position as your group steps out of baggage claim into the pickup lane, so nobody has to hunt for a ride after a long flight. That curbside greeting is part of the flat fare. Prefer to be met inside, past the gate, with a name sign? An in-terminal meet-and-greet is available for an added $20, arranged when the booking goes in. Either way, someone is standing by before you reach the door, at any MIA terminal or concourse.
The assigned flight number is tracked, so an early arrival or a long delay just moves the pickup rather than costing you anything. Your driver follows the inbound aircraft and shifts the meeting time to your real touchdown, with no message to send and nothing to re-book. Come in two hours behind the timetable and the car is still there, timed to when you actually walk out.
Reserve ahead and the driver runs the I-95 Express lanes north in one continuous leg to the resort entrance — a single vehicle, a single stop, nothing to connect or transfer between. Those express lanes keep moving while the local streets bog down, which is what holds your arrival time steady from terminal to lobby. For a group landing together with luggage, that direct northbound run is the plainest way onto this part of the Hollywood coast, and it ends at the door rather than a neighboring corner.
Door to door, the 24.2-mile journey (about 39 km) runs roughly 46 to 53 minutes. In light traffic the northbound leg is closer to 46; weekday rush hours and packed beach-season afternoons stretch it nearer 53. Since the express lanes swallow the bulk of the mileage, that estimate holds up even while the regular lanes are stop-and-go, and your driver picks whichever northbound line is flowing at your landing hour. Aiming for a check-in or a dinner booking? Give yourself about an hour from wheels-down to the lobby and you have a realistic cushion.
The resort sits on Ocean Drive in Hollywood, Florida — a coastal city on the Atlantic set roughly midway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, not the California one people first picture. It stands a short walk from both the sand and the pedestrian promenade locals call the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk (spelled with “road,” not “board”), a strip of open-air cafes, ice-cream stands, beach bars and small shops. The building is modern, wrapped around courtyards, pools and its own dining, and it appeals to vacationing families as much as to couples chasing a calmer stretch of coast. What fills the days here is beach time, casual seafood and evening walks rather than any city rush. Room details and current package deals live on the resort’s own pages — its official website and its book-direct offers.
Three private tiers cover this route, each held for your party alone and priced by the vehicle rather than the head. The Black SUV takes up to five passengers — the usual pick for couples, solo business travel, and small families with checked bags and carry-ons. A van steps up for six to nine travelers arriving off the same flight, and the largest van seats ten to fourteen for extended families, teams, and event groups landing as one party. Unsure between two sizes? Give the headcount and the number of bags at reservation and the right size is slotted in, with a bump up to the roomier van whenever the load grows.
The vehicle, the driver, and every toll, SunPass fee and gallon of fuel along the way are already inside the quoted price, so nothing from the road follows you afterward. Payment splits in two: a 50% deposit at booking holds the vehicle and pickup time under your name, and the driver collects the remaining balance on the day of the journey. A curbside meet-and-greet is included, while a name-sign pickup inside the terminal adds $20 and a child seat adds $20 per seat. Daytime hours run 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge; a pickup outside that window adds a $20 night fee on the SUV within Miami-Dade and Broward counties, or $50 beyond them. Any added stop along the route runs $45 per 30 minutes. Pricing is one-way, so a round journey is simply double the fare, both pickup times set when you reserve.
The Florida one. Costa Hollywood Beach Resort is in Hollywood, Florida, a beach city on the Atlantic between Miami and Fort Lauderdale — not Hollywood, California. Adding the state to your searches keeps flights, maps and weather checks pointed at the right coast, and MIA stays the arrival airport this ride serves.
Yes. The resort sits in the oceanfront district right off the sand, so the shoreline and the Broadwalk promenade are a short walk from the lobby. Once you have checked in, the car can stay parked. That walkable setup is a big reason travelers choose this stretch of Hollywood for an easy beach stay.
The allowance is one checked bag and one carry-on for each traveler, which keeps a fully loaded SUV or van comfortable with a normal group’s bags and a little room over. Packing heavier or bringing something oversized? Send a WhatsApp note before the journey to confirm the space, or the booking steps up to a larger van so nothing gets crammed.
It can, with advance notice by WhatsApp and a pet carrier for the ride. Mentioning it at booking means the driver and vehicle turn up ready, with a spot kept for the carrier next to your group and the luggage. Put it on the reservation and nothing catches anyone off guard at pickup.
They do. Pickups begin at MIA, yet private drop-offs also head from Costa Hollywood Beach Resort out to other airports, Fort Lauderdale among them. Reserving works just as it does on arrival: the driver picks your party up at the property and runs you to the departures terminal, and because it is a separate route the fare is quoted at reservation.
Ready to lock in the ride? Message or call 786-682-8748 on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748. Send over the flight number, the arrival date, how many are riding and where you are headed, and the assigned vehicle and a locked pickup time come back to you ahead of the day.
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.
Flying into Miami on my own, I didn’t want to face the taxi line after a long flight, so I booked a private ride to Costa Hollywood Beach Resort. No taxi line, no rideshare surge — I just walked out and the car was there.
Landing with tired kids, it made all the difference that the driver was right there at arrivals with room for everyone. The driver was professional and courteous, which made it feel first-class.
Our whole group rode together straight from MIA, and it worked out great. Honestly the smoothest part of our whole trip — everything was handled from the second we landed. The driver was a safe, calm driver, exactly what you want after a flight.
