From $100 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to South Miami, 7.2 miles door to door in about 20 minutes at a flat rate.
Each rate below is the full price for the whole vehicle to any South Miami address, fixed the moment you reserve and unaffected by traffic or the hour of day.
Your driver is posted at the arrivals curb of your MIA terminal, on the sidewalk as you exit with your bags and ready to take the luggage. That curbside meet is part of the fare, not an add-on. Prefer to be met inside the hall with a name sign in hand? Add the in-terminal greeting for $20 when you reserve. Because your inbound flight is tracked live, a late landing simply pushes the pickup back — no rebooking and no penalty — and the SUV or van holds until you actually reach the curb.
South Miami is a small incorporated city just southwest of downtown Miami, with quiet, tree-shaded streets and a calmer pace than the larger districts nearby. Sunset Drive forms its core, lined with independent shops, cafes and restaurants and a small entertainment strip. The blocks around it stay green and residential, dotted with parks and gardens, while the University of Miami sits just over the line in neighboring Coral Gables. South Miami Hospital sits at the edge of the downtown grid, and Coconut Grove lies a short drive off. For local details before you fly, the South Miami city government website is a useful reference, and your driver drops you at the exact address you give — a home, an office, or the main strip.
Plan on roughly 20 minutes with clear roads and as much as 23 when they fill up — the whole run covers just 7.2 miles, or 11.6 kilometers. The city lies just a quick run southwest of the airport, so even at busy hours the journey stays short; heavy traffic adds a few minutes here rather than the long delays of a cross-county haul. The driver heads south from MIA toward US-1, the South Dixie Highway, with the Palmetto Expressway (SR-826) an choice on the way down. Mid-morning and early afternoon flow best, while the weekday commute — early morning and late afternoon — loads the southbound lanes; a late-evening landing usually finds the emptiest roads of the day. And since the clock starts only when you reach the curb, a slow walk-off never leaves a car idling on your dime.
Every tier is held for your party alone — only your group rides, with no pooled seats and no detours to collect strangers. Match the class to your headcount and bags: up to five travelers take the black SUV, six to nine move into a private van, and parties of ten to fourteen ride the largest van. The standard luggage allowance is a checked bag plus a carry-on for each passenger, loaded and unloaded by the driver; traveling with oversized or extra pieces, send a WhatsApp note and the space is confirmed or a larger van arranged. Because the fare is fixed when you book, a peak-hour landing or heavy demand never changes the number, and directions stay simple with a bilingual driver who handles English and Spanish or Portuguese.
The figure you accept carries the whole journey, so a standard ride has nothing extra to settle at the curb. Tolls, SunPass and fuel are already inside the price, so nothing is added between the first toll gantry and your door. Onboard WiFi comes off a mobile hotspot, so the whole party stays connected en route, and the vehicle is yours alone with room set aside for the bags. A few items sit outside the base rate: the first child seat, for any child under age five, is free and each additional seat is $20, fitted before you arrive when you flag the ages on WhatsApp; small pets travel in a carrier with advance notice; and an added stop en route runs $45 per 30 minutes. Anything not on this list is simply not part of the booking, so ask on WhatsApp first if you have a special request.
A deposit reserves the vehicle and the rest is paid on travel day. Pay by Venmo, Zelle or a secure link: half locks the booking now, and the other half goes to the driver at the curb. Pricing is per vehicle, not per seat — a solo rider pays the posted figure, and six travelers share one total rather than buying six seats. Every quote is one-way, so a return leg back to MIA is that same figure doubled on a single reservation. The number never moves after you confirm.
The daytime window runs 7 AM to 9 PM with nothing extra. A pickup outside those hours adds a small amount set by the vehicle:
South Miami is one of the few places on this route reachable by rail from the airport — the Metrorail Orange Line links MIA with the South Miami station. That suits a solo traveler with a single light bag. Once suitcases, kids or a group enter the picture, the private car wins, since the train still ends in a stroll or one more ride to your real door.
Yes. When you book, name the exact building or entrance plus the street address, since the medical campus runs across several blocks with more than one door. The driver then pulls up at the right entrance instead of a main gate, which matters most for an early or late arrival. Put it in your booking message and it is set before you land.
Yes. The same private SUVs and vans go far beyond the city — anywhere in the Miami metro, over to the PortMiami cruise terminals, up toward Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast, or down into the Florida Keys. Give your end point at booking and the right vehicle and a fixed fare are set for that leg. A single reservation carries your whole party from MIA to wherever you land.
It is fully private. The SUV or van is reserved for your party alone, so no strangers share the seats and there are no added pickups en route. The larger vans give you shuttle-sized room while keeping the vehicle for your group only — one booking moves everyone from MIA together.
Ready to lock in your MIA to South Miami transfer? Send your arrival date, MIA flight number, drop-off address, plus your passenger and bag count, and the vehicle and driver are confirmed in one reply. Message WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748, and add any pet or child-seat note to the same message so everything is set before you land.
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.
Éramos seis pousando em Miami, e um traslado privativo até South Miami foi o jeito fácil. Nos pegaram pontual, a caminho minutos depois de sair dos desembarques. Reservar foi simples, recebemos uma confirmação clara, e tudo saiu como combinado.
Tras un vuelo de madrugada, lo último que queríamos era buscar auto — qué bueno que reservamos el traslado a South Miami. El conductor fue profesional y cortés, justo lo que quieres tras un vuelo. El conductor se ocupó del equipaje para que no tuviéramos que cargar nada tras el vuelo.
The two of us flew into Miami for vacation and had a driver waiting the moment we reached arrivals. The driver dropped us right at the door of South Miami. A relaxed start to the two of us being on vacation. Thanks for the easy arrival!
Great service — private, punctual, and painless. The driver dropped us straight at South Miami.
We flew into Miami with the little ones late at night, and having a driver waiting was a lifesaver. It was a private car for our party alone, which made the ride to South Miami relaxed.
