From $195 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to El Pez Surf Hotel 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.
El Pez Surf Hotel sits in Margate, a residential pocket of inland north Broward County, the suburban belt that spreads north of Fort Lauderdale. It puts you among quiet family neighborhoods rather than the beachfront crowds, with easy road access in every direction. Booking a private ride here means you reach the door with your bags already loaded and no transfers along the way — one calm leg from the airport to the front of the hotel, timed to the moment your flight actually lands.
The surrounding area gives you plenty to fold into a trip. Sawgrass Mills, the enormous outlet-shopping destination, sits within reach, and the Amerant Bank Arena hosts hockey, concerts, and events nearby. If you want green space, the Everglades Holiday Park is close enough for a half-day out into the wetlands, and the Plantation Historical Museum makes a quieter local stop. North Broward as a whole is more spread out and low-key than the coast, so having your own vehicle waiting makes moving between these places simple.
When you land, your driver tracks the flight and meets you after you exit the terminal at MIA, helps with the luggage, and walks you to the vehicle at the curb. From there it is a single ride to El Pez Surf Hotel — the full vehicle reserved for your group, road tolls and fuel already covered, and a bilingual driver at the wheel for the whole trip.
The trip begins the moment you clear arrivals at MIA. Your driver is already curbside, so there is no waiting in a line or hunting for a car — bags go in, everyone climbs aboard, and you set off north. Most of the route runs along Florida’s Turnpike, a straight shot that keeps the drive smooth and predictable from the airport toward Margate.
Plan on roughly 50 to 64 minutes door to door, depending on the time of day, since rush hour on the Turnpike can add a few minutes. Because the pickup is set to your real landing time rather than a fixed slot, a delayed flight simply shifts everything with it. You ride straight through to the hotel entrance, with the whole vehicle kept for your party alone.
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.
A 50% deposit reserves the ride online; the balance is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
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 SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
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.
Vinimos con amigos y queríamos a todos y las maletas en un solo viaje privado desde el aeropuerto. El conductor fue muy experimentado, todo muy pulcro.
Getting a big group out of the airport is usually a headache — one pre-booked van to El Pez Surf Hotel made it effortless. The van was clean, cool, and comfortable, a nice relief in the Miami heat.
Viajando con nuestros hijos, no iba a pelear con un taxi en MIA, así que reservé una van privada a El Pez Surf Hotel. Llegando pasada la medianoche, fue muy tranquilizador tener un auto privado ya esperando. Nos recogieron puntual, sin esperas. Muy recomendable.
Uns amigos e eu chegamos a Miami e reservamos uma van privativa do aeroporto até El Pez Surf Hotel. O motorista colocou todas as nossas malas para não precisarmos carregar nada depois do voo. O SUV estava impecável, um alívio no calor de Miami.
We flew into Miami with the little ones late at night, and having a driver waiting was exactly what we needed. With the kids along, it helped that the driver was so easygoing and the van had room for all our stuff. No taxi line, no rideshare surge — we just walked out and the car was ready. Can’t recommend it enough.
