From $100 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to the Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Beach Surfside, flat rate door to door.
Each figure below is the whole-vehicle price for your party, pinned the moment you reserve and already carrying the fuel and the tolls — no per-head math, and no surge when the roads fill.
Your driver waits at the curb just outside your arrival terminal, already in place because the inbound flight is followed in real time — land early or late and the meeting shifts to match. Walk out with the bags, confirm where you are headed, and the car pulls off toward the coast with no stops slipped in along the way. That curbside meet and greet is part of the fare; should you prefer to be met inside the terminal by a driver holding a board with your name, that name-sign pickup is a $20 option arranged at booking.
The drive is short on turns. Out of the terminal loop the car joins the Airport Expressway, SR-112, the brief connector tying the MIA roadways into I-95, then heads north on the interstate for most of the run before bending east toward the Surfside oceanfront. Two highways and a single merge cover nearly the whole 11.1-mile map, which is a large part of why the timing barely moves from one day to the next.
Count on roughly 31 minutes when the lanes are open and about 33 when they clog — that 11.1-mile trip, 17.8 kilometers door to door, hardly stretches between quiet and busy hours, because the I-95 corridor keeps flowing even under load. Commuter surges at morning and late afternoon, plus weekend beach traffic, explain the couple of extra minutes at the top end. With the fare locked, a slow crawl never touches the total, and no meter counts the delay.
The Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Beach Surfside occupies a low-key beachside town, set north of the busier stretches of Miami Beach and just below Bal Harbour. This is an all-suite, extended-stay hotel, so every room has a full kitchen — which is why families and week-long visits gravitate to it. Around the building the pace stays walkable and easy: a broad Atlantic beach a step away, unfussy cafes and coffee counters, and the high-end Bal Harbour Shops a couple of minutes off. Calm blocks and swift sand access take the place of nightlife noise, and that trade is precisely what steers numerous travelers to Surfside over South Beach. Before you land, look over the property’s room and suite overview and a rundown of things to do nearby.
Every tier here is held for your group only, so no strangers ride along and no one else sets the route. Choose the size that suits your headcount and its luggage, and that vehicle is yours for the trip.
The number quoted at booking is the whole number; nothing gets tacked on at the curb. Highway tolls, SunPass, and gas all sit inside it, and the cabin runs WiFi through a mobile hotspot for a swift message en route. Each passenger’s ride includes a checked bag plus a carry-on, and the curbside meet and greet is bundled in rather than billed. Two extras sit outside that base: a name-sign pickup at the terminal for $20, and child seats at $20 apiece. If a trip needs an added stop along the way, that runs $45 for every 30 minutes and is agreed before the day.
A 50% deposit up front holds your booking, and the balance is handed to the driver on the trip itself. Zelle, Venmo, or a secure payment link all cover the deposit, and the charge lands per vehicle for the entire group rather than per head. Fares are one-way, so a return leg to MIA is simply that one-way price doubled and reserved together as a round trip — a single driver and one confirmation across both directions.
Daytime pickups, running from 7:00 AM through 9:00 PM, add nothing extra. Step outside that window and a small night charge attaches, scaled to the vehicle: the Black SUV takes a flat $20 for a trip within the Miami-Dade and Broward area, while a van adds 10% to its trip value. Since MIA and Surfside both sit inside that zone, a late arrival here carries the $20 SUV figure rather than the higher out-of-area rate.
No work on your end. The inbound flight is tracked live, so the curbside meeting slides to your real landing whether you touch down early or hours late. Because the fare is fixed at booking, a delay adds nothing to the price and never forces a re-booking.
By the car, not the seat. Two people in the SUV or fourteen packed into the large van pay the same — the whole group travels on the single flat rate listed above. That per-vehicle setup is what turns a private ride into real value once a family or group splits one figure.
Yes. The same private vehicle runs the trip in reverse, from the Residence Inn back to Miami International for your departure. Reserve both legs at once and a single driver plus one locked fare cover the round trip, with the return simply doubling the one-way price.
Small pets are welcome as long as you flag it on WhatsApp ahead of time and bring a proper carrier. A heads-up at booking lets the driver ready the vehicle, so there is no confusion at the curb. The pet stays in its carrier for the whole ride.
Each traveler’s fare covers a checked bag and a carry-on, which handles most arrivals fine. Bringing more than that, or an oversized piece? A WhatsApp message before the day confirms the room or steps you up to a larger private van. A little notice keeps the right vehicle waiting at the curb.
Ready to lock your private MIA transfer to the Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Beach Surfside? Message the trip over WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 — your flight, when you land, how numerous are riding, and how numerous bags — and the car and the locked fare come back to you in writing.
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.
