From $125 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Southwinds Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Give us the flight number and the driver plans the pickup around the actual arrival. The greeting at the MIA arrivals curb is included; the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign is a $40 add-on. Bags go in, doors close, and the vehicle leaves for the destination without sharing the ride with anyone else.
Southwinds Inn is a place to settle in Hollywood, the coastal city that sits between Fort Lauderdale and Miami along the southeast Florida shore. It makes an easy base for a beach-first stay, because the water is only a short walk or drive from the door. Many travelers who book a ride here plan to drop their bags and head straight for the sand the same day they arrive, and the setting makes that simple.
Hollywood is built around its oceanfront, and the brick Broadwalk is the piece most visitors remember. That path runs along Hollywood Beach and gives you a flat, walkable stretch of shoreline to stroll, ride, or settle into a spot to eat and watch the water. A little inland, downtown centers on ArtsPark at Young Circle, a green gathering place that anchors the city’s shops and cafes. Between the beach and the park, you get both the relaxed oceanfront side of Hollywood and its everyday downtown.
The wider area keeps plenty within easy reach once you have checked in. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is a short trip away for anyone who wants an evening out, and West Lake Park adds an outdoor option with room to paddle and explore. For details on the property itself — the rooms, the amenities, and check-in — look to Southwinds Inn’s own information, since this page covers the ride rather than the stay. What you land in is a quiet Hollywood address close to the beach and to the parts of the city most people come to see.
Your private ride starts the moment you land at Miami International Airport. After you clear the terminal, your driver is already waiting to meet you at the curb, having tracked your flight so the timing follows your actual arrival rather than the schedule. Your bags go into the vehicle that is reserved for your group alone, and you head out together — no waiting in a line, no second stop for another party along the way.
From there it is one continuous run to Southwinds Inn in Hollywood, and the trip usually takes about 38 to 52 minutes door to door depending on traffic. Off-peak the drive moves quickly; the morning and late-afternoon rush pushes it toward the longer end, which is exactly why the driver watches your flight and re-times the pickup at no charge. You ride straight to the address and step out where you are staying.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. The first child seat or booster is included; each additional one is $20. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
Yes for the details: add a passenger, a child seat or a note up to 12 hours before the pickup time. No for the date, which stays as booked.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
Getting a big group out of the airport is usually a headache — one pre-booked van to Southwinds Inn made it painless. The driver took care of the suitcases so we didn’t have to struggle with anything after the flight. We were on our way within minutes of clearing arrivals, no delays.
We landed at MIA with the little ones late at night, and having a driver waiting was exactly what we needed. With the kids worn out from the flight, it helped that the driver was patient and had the child seat ready. Our flight was delayed and the driver was still there waiting — not a worry at all.
Los dos llegamos a Miami de vacaciones y teníamos un conductor esperando apenas salimos de la aduana. El conductor era hablaba inglés y español sin problema, lo que hizo todo mucho más fácil. El conductor nos dejó directo en Southwinds Inn.
My husband and I didn’t want to deal with the airport taxi chaos, so we pre-booked a private ride to Southwinds Inn. Landing after midnight, it was so reassuring to have a private car already waiting instead of a taxi gamble. The driver was bilingual, which made the whole thing that much easier.
We didn’t want to juggle luggage and kids in a taxi line, so we set up a private car from the airport to Southwinds Inn.
