From $100 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from MIA to Grand Beach Hotel Surfside, met at the curb on a flat fare fixed before you travel.
Each rate below covers the whole vehicle rather than a single seat, so pick the tier that fits your group; everyone aboard rides on that one number, locked when you book.
Your driver waits at the terminal curb as you step out with your bags — no app to open, no lot to search. Give the flight number when you book and the arrival is watched live, so the pickup lands on the moment your plane is genuinely on the ground, not the printed time. Favor to be met inside by someone holding a name sign? That greet is an optional $40 add-on set at booking; the standard curbside meet is already in the fare. From the MIA curb it is one private car straight to Grand Beach Hotel Surfside — no shared seats, no other stops.
Plan on 5 to 30 minutes behind the wheel, and the hour you leave decides nearly all of it. Off-peak — early morning, midday, late evening — the coastal highways stay clear and the trip sits near the short end. At rush hour, volume on I-95 and on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) stretches it toward the long end. None of that reaches your total, though: the per-vehicle rate holds no matter what the road does. Your driver reads the local streets and takes whatever lane is flowing, ending north on Collins Avenue at the hotel door.
Door to door, the distance runs about 15.6 miles (25.2 km), and it reads the same whichever way you go. Most of the trip is limited-access highway; the drive only slows for the last leg, turning up Collins Avenue and weaving through Surfside’s compact, low-rise streets. The booking address is 9449 Collins Avenue, Surfside, FL 33154 — up in the town’s mid-90s blocks near 94th Street — and the ride ends at the hotel’s own entrance on Collins, not a corner down the block, which helps once it is dark.
Grand Beach Hotel Surfside stands right on the Atlantic in Surfside, a quiet oceanfront town that feels far more residential than the louder stretches of Miami Beach to the south. The shoreline sets the tone: wide sand, an easy pace, short walks past blocks of bakeries, cafés, and small storefronts. It suits travelers who desire salt air and a good dinner without the after-dark intensity of the club strips, while Bal Harbour’s shopping to the north and South Beach to the south each stay a short private ride away. The resort’s own Surfside hotel page lays out rooms and amenities, and its seasonal stay deals are listed too.
Three private tiers handle any group, and each vehicle carries only the people on your booking — pick by how many are riding and how much luggage comes along.
The fare buys the full door-to-door run with nothing tucked underneath. Tolls, SunPass, and gas are folded into the total quoted at booking, so the figure you agree to is the figure you pay. A mobile hotspot puts WiFi in every car, and the vehicle stays private to your group with luggage room matched to the headcount — one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger fits the rate, and oversized pieces get cleared over a quick WhatsApp note beforehand. Only a few extras sit outside that base fare: the in-terminal name-sign greet, any child seat past the first, and the after-hours surcharge below.
Payment is split and flexible: Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link over WhatsApp or the website. A 50% deposit reserves your vehicle and pins the fare; the balance goes to the driver on the day you travel, so the money down stays light while the car and price are held for you. Each listed fare is one-way — book the return too and it is just twice that figure for the same vehicle, both legs set in one reservation with no separate return tariff. Since the charge is per vehicle, the whole group rides on a single price. Need a stop en route? Extra stops run $45 per 30 minutes, arranged when you reserve.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM carry no surcharge. Anything outside that window adds a small after-hours charge on top of the flat fare, set by vehicle type:
Every fare is charged per vehicle, not per rider. One flat number covers the entire party — the SUV up to five, the vans up to nine or fourteen — so adding people, right to the vehicle’s limit, never moves the total. A return simply doubles the one-way shown in the fares above.
That is handled at our end, not yours. Because your flight number is on the booking, the arrival gets watched in real time, and the pickup simply moves to your true landing — a delay costs nothing and carries no penalty. You come out of the terminal to a car already in position, with no app to reopen and no fare change for the late touchdown.
Yes. The first child seat rides free for any child under five, fitted and waiting when the driver pulls up. Request it at booking so the correct seat goes in ahead of time, and say how many little ones are aboard — each seat past the first adds a small fee settled when you reserve.
Yes, with a heads-up over WhatsApp and a proper pet carrier for the ride. Flagging it at booking lets the driver plan ahead and puts the right vehicle on the job, so everything is set the moment you reach the hotel.
Yes — booking ahead means it is all arranged before you even board. Send the flight and party size, pick the SUV or a private van, and place the deposit; from that point the flat fare and your named driver are both locked in, and there is nothing to sort out when you land at MIA.
Ready to set your MIA transfer to Grand Beach Hotel Surfside? Send your flight, travel date, party size, and say if you desire the return leg too, and back comes the exact total with a deposit link. Message or call 786-682-8748 on WhatsApp — the fastest way to lock the car before you fly.
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.
Our family of five arrived in Miami, and the driver had the child seat ready — such a help. The driver took care of the suitcases so we didn’t have to struggle with anything after the flight.
We didn’t want to juggle luggage and kids in a taxi line, so we set up a private car from the airport to Grand Beach Hotel Surfside. The fare was fixed and agreed up front — no meter, no surprises, which we really appreciated after traveling. Booking was simple, we got a clear confirmation, and everything went exactly as planned.
We didn’t want to juggle luggage and kids in a taxi line, so we set up a private car from the airport to Grand Beach Hotel Surfside. Landing late at night, it was a huge comfort to have a private car already waiting instead of hunting for a ride.
No íbamos a hacer malabares con maletas y niños en la fila de taxis, así que reservamos un auto privado del aeropuerto a Grand Beach Hotel Surfside. El conductor era bilingüe, lo que hizo todo mucho más fácil. Reservar fue fácil, recibimos una confirmación clara, y todo salió tal cual.
The six of us flew into MIA and booked one private van from the airport to Grand Beach Hotel Surfside. There was plenty of room for the whole group and everyone’s bags in one van. The ride to Grand Beach Hotel Surfside was smooth and comfortable the whole way.
