From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Sky Islands Beach Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
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.
Sky Islands Beach Hotel sits in Fort Lauderdale, a coastal city known for its wide sandy beach and the calm, canal-lined waterways that thread through it. When you arrive, you are within easy reach of the things that give this stretch of the coast its character: the shoreline itself, the shops and cafes along the water, and the low, unhurried pace of a place built around the sea.
The hotel puts you close to Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach, two of the areas most people come here for. Las Olas is the walkable heart of the city, lined with places to eat and browse, while the beach is a short reach away when you simply want sand and open water. Also within easy reach are the Riverwalk, which follows the water on foot, and the Bonnet House, a historic estate that gives a quieter counterpoint to the busier boulevard.
Fort Lauderdale centers on Las Olas Boulevard, the Riverwalk, and Port Everglades, one of the world’s busiest cruise ports. That mix means Sky Islands Beach Hotel works well as a base whether you are here to spend time by the water, explore the city on foot, or connect to a sailing at the port. Because the port sits close by, we handle airport-to-hotel and hotel-to-terminal runs on the same flat-rate, flight-tracked basis, so a stay that pairs with a cruise stays simple from the moment you land.
The trip runs door to door as a single leg from Miami International Airport up to Sky Islands Beach Hotel. Your driver meets you after you clear the terminal, helps load the luggage, and walks you to the vehicle, so there is no queue and no wondering where the car is. From the curb it is one continuous run along I-95, with your bags in the vehicle the whole way and the car reserved only for your group.
Plan on about 56 to 69 minutes, depending on how traffic is moving. I-95 is the one real variable, and it is the only thing that shifts the timing. Because the driver tracks your flight, an early or late arrival is handled without a new booking: the pickup simply moves to your actual landing time, and you step out to a car that is already waiting for you.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
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.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. The first child seat or booster is included on request and each additional one is $20, and any added stop is $45 per 30 minutes.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
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.
We came as a group and wanted all of us in one private ride from the airport. They kept an eye on the flight, so even though we got in behind schedule, the car was right there. Honestly the easiest part of our whole trip — everything was handled from the second we landed. Thanks for the easy arrival!
My wife and I booked a private transfer from Miami Airport to Sky Islands Beach Hotel so we wouldn’t have to wait on a rideshare after our flight. The driver dropped us straight at Sky Islands Beach Hotel.
We came as a group and wanted all of us in one private ride from the airport. The driver was bilingual, which made sorting out the details that much easier.
Auto limpio, recogida fácil y un conductor que sabía exactamente dónde quedaba Sky Islands Beach Hotel. Lo reservaría de nuevo. Nuestro vuelo se retrasó y el conductor seguía ahí esperando — sin ninguna preocupación.
Meu companheiro e eu reservamos um traslado privativo do Aeroporto de Miami até Sky Islands Beach Hotel para não procurar táxi depois do voo. Era um carro privativo sem mais ninguém para pegar, o que deixou o trajeto até Sky Islands Beach Hotel fácil e calmo.
