From $200 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, with your driver already at the curb.
Every price here is charged by the vehicle rather than the seat, and it locks in the moment you book — match the tier to your party and the whole group travels on one figure.
By default, the driver collects you at the curb, right outside your Miami International Airport terminal. The inbound flight is tracked live, so the car is in place as you reach the exit — an early landing or a late one makes no difference. Prefer to be met indoors? A name-sign greeting at baggage claim can be added for $20, and the driver’s photo and number land on your WhatsApp before touchdown, so there is nobody to hunt for once you step out.
Count on roughly 58 to 66 minutes across the 36.4 miles (58.6 km), depending on the hour you leave. Almost the entire run rides I-95 as it heads north from the airport zone toward the Broward coast and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Off-peak stretches — early mornings, midday, late evenings — land near the low end, while weekday rush and holiday crowds nudge it toward the top. The fare is fixed at booking, so a slow crawl never lifts the total; traffic moves only the clock. The driver watches the day’s flow and picks whichever lanes are running best.
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a small, unhurried beach community on Broward County’s Atlantic edge, low on high-rises and long on walkable streets. A shallow reef sits close enough to swim to, so divers and snorkelers walk in straight off the sand, while the town’s pier pulls in anglers and early risers chasing a sunrise. The village core gathers casual seafood counters, cafés, ice-cream windows, and a scatter of small shops into a few blocks you can cross on foot, and the mood stays local and low-key rather than loud and late. For planning details and current happenings, the town’s municipal site and the area visitor guide both come in handy.
Booking works on a simple split. Half of the fare goes down at reservation to hold your date and vehicle, and the other half is handed to the driver on travel day. Payment can run through Venmo, Zelle, or a protected link shared on WhatsApp, and every amount is put in writing before the ride, so nothing surprises you at drop-off. Because the rate rides on the vehicle, filling extra seats up to the tier’s limit never lifts it. A round journey is just the one-way price counted twice, kept inside one booking, so your return to the airport is already arranged before you land.
The quoted number carries the road itself: every toll, SunPass ping, and gallon of fuel is folded in, so nothing for the highway is tacked on at the curb. Each car runs onboard WiFi off a mobile hotspot, and the driver is bilingual — English alongside Spanish or Portuguese — which eases the hand-off at arrivals. Curbside meet-and-greet is part of the standard service; the indoor name-sign version is the $20 extra noted earlier. Child seats run $20 apiece, so flag the ages when you reserve, and small pets ride along in a carrier once you offer notice on WhatsApp. If the day needs an added stop, extra waiting is billed at $45 per half hour, agreed before you roll.
Daytime service covers 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM at no extra charge. A ride that starts outside that window picks up a small night fee on top of the set fare.
No — they are two separate municipalities. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea sits just north of Fort Lauderdale along the same shoreline, running its own town government, and Broward County has more than one place that carries the Lauderdale name. When you copy an address from a hotel confirmation, double-check which one it names, since the 36.4-mile fare on this page is measured to this town alone.
Yes. Reserve both directions together and the return leg from Lauderdale-by-the-Sea to Miami International Airport carries the same per-vehicle rate, organized under one driver arrangement. Offer the departure date and time up front, and the cost is just the one-way figure taken twice — nothing shifts at the seat level.
Plan on one checked bag plus one carry-on for each passenger as the baseline, and each vehicle is built to carry a full group’s load. Traveling with oversized gear, golf clubs, or a stack of extra cases? Flag it on WhatsApp beforehand, and the driver either confirms the space or bumps you to a bigger van so it all fits.
Child seats are available at $20 each, so pass along the ages and how many you need at booking and the right setup is fitted before pickup. Small pets are welcome as well, as long as they travel in a carrier and you mention them on WhatsApp ahead of the trip. A quick heads-up on either request means everything is in place before you land.
The driver keeps an eye on your inbound flight and moves the pickup to match your real landing time — no rebooking, and no extra charge. Whether you arrive ahead of schedule or wait out a delay, the plan follows your actual arrival, so a car is already outside your terminal the moment you clear the doors.
Ready to lock it in? Message on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748, and send your flight, terminal, party size, travel date, and the drop-off address. The vehicle, driver, and pickup time come back to you in writing. A day or two of lead time makes it easiest to match your exact arrival, and the return leg, child seats, or extra bags can be arranged in the same message.
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.
Nuestro grupo fue todo junto directo desde MIA, y salió buenísimo. Sin fila de taxis, sin tarifas dinámicas — salimos y el auto ya estaba listo.
Perfect way to start the trip — couldn’t recommend it more. The driver dropped us right at the door of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.
The two of us landed at MIA for vacation and had a driver waiting the moment we reached arrivals. The driver took care of the suitcases so we didn’t have to lift a thing after the flight.
Viajando solo, no quería complicaciones al salir del Aeropuerto de Miami, y esto fue perfecto. Sinceramente la parte más fácil de mi viaje — todo resuelto desde que aterricé. La tarifa fue fija y acordada de antemano — exactamente lo cotizado, que agradecí después de viajar.
My wife and I didn’t want to deal with the airport taxi chaos, so we pre-booked a private ride to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. We were picked up right on time, no delays.
