From $155 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to El Silencio Lodge & Spa in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
The driver monitors the flight and is at the arrivals level when you walk out, with the curbside meet-and-greet already covered by the fare. Travelers who want the Meet & Greet, a name sign inside the terminal, can add it for $40. Luggage is loaded by the driver and the ride runs private, door to door.
El Silencio Lodge & Spa is a lodge-and-spa retreat set in Plantation, a calm suburban corner of the Miami metro that sits inland, well west of the coast. It suits travelers who want a slower pace once the flight is behind them — a place to settle in and unwind rather than a busy downtown block. The surroundings are residential and green, built around wide, easy streets and quiet planned communities.
Plantation reads as a restful, western stretch of the region, away from the beach crowds and closer to open space. When you arrive, you find the kind of low-key, unhurried setting that fits a spa stay: room to breathe, easy parking, and a neighborhood that stays calm after dark. It works as a practical base as well, with everyday shopping and dining a short drive in most directions, so you are never far from what you need.
The location also keeps you within reach of the area’s bigger draws. Large outlet shopping, an arena for games and live shows, and green space at spots like Tradewinds Park are all a manageable drive away, and the western edge of the metro puts Everglades recreation, including Everglades Holiday Park, within range for a day out. That mix — a peaceful home base with plenty of room to roam — is much of the appeal of staying out here rather than parked next to the airport.
Your ride from Miami International Airport to El Silencio Lodge & Spa is a private, door-to-door transfer, booked ahead so a vehicle is reserved for your group alone. After you land, the driver tracks your flight and is waiting once you clear the terminal — no pickup pin to hunt for and no line to stand in. Your bags go straight into the vehicle and you head out together.
From MIA the route runs inland toward Plantation, and in ordinary traffic the drive takes roughly forty-five minutes to about an hour, quicker off-peak and slower at rush hour. Because the pickup is timed to your actual landing, a delayed flight simply moves the whole pickup, with nothing to rebook. Tolls and fuel are already covered, so the fare you booked is the fare you pay, and the driver stays reachable before and during the trip.
Booking the ride in advance locks the price and the vehicle size, puts a driver on your arrival time, and turns the first leg of the trip into the easiest one. The group stays together and the luggage rides with you.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. One child seat or booster is included and each additional one is $20, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
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.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
My partner and I booked a private transfer from Miami Airport to El Silencio Lodge & Spa so we wouldn’t have to wait on a rideshare after our flight. The driver was a safe, calm driver, exactly what you want after a flight. We were on our way within minutes of clearing arrivals, no waiting around.
Mi esposa y yo reservamos un traslado privado del Aeropuerto de Miami a El Silencio Lodge & Spa para no esperar un rideshare después del vuelo. El conductor fue muy experimentado, todo muy pulcro. Nos recogieron puntual, sin esperas. Muy recomendable.
After a red-eye, the last thing we wanted was to hunt for a car — really glad we pre-arranged the transfer to El Silencio Lodge & Spa. The SUV was spotless, and the AC was perfect. We were picked up right on time, no delays.
For an easy arrival, my husband and I booked this to get from MIA straight to El Silencio Lodge & Spa. The driver loaded all our bags so we didn’t have to lift a thing after the flight. The driver was bilingual, which made the whole thing that much easier. Thanks for the easy arrival!
With the little ones, arranging the airport transfer to El Silencio Lodge & Spa meant no scramble when we landed. No taxi line, no rideshare surge — we just walked out and the car was ready. They tracked the landing, so even though we got in behind schedule, the car was ready and waiting.
