From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to The Altair Bay Harbor Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
The Altair Bay Harbor Hotel sits in Bay Harbor Islands, on the quieter northern stretch of the barrier island where the pace slows down. This is the low-key end of the coast, the part known for calmer beaches and an easygoing, walkable feel rather than crowds. It makes a comfortable base whether you are here for a few nights or a longer stay, with the water close by and the day yours to shape.
Once you have checked in and set down your bags, the surrounding area gives you plenty to fill an afternoon. The upscale Bal Harbour Shops and the Surfside beachwalk are among the closest landmarks, both within easy reach. A little further along you will find the North Beach Bandshell and Collins Avenue, so a stroll, a swim, or an evening out are all simple to arrange once you have arrived and settled.
Our part in your trip is the ride, plain and simple. Questions about rooms, rates on property, or amenities belong to the hotel’s own official page, and we leave those in their hands. What we handle is getting you from the airport to the front of The Altair Bay Harbor Hotel in a private vehicle reserved for your group alone, at a flat price agreed when you book. That way the first and last legs of your stay are already taken care of, and you can turn your attention to everything Bay Harbor Islands and the nearby shore have waiting for you.
The trip runs door to door, from the arrivals level at Miami International Airport straight to the entrance of The Altair Bay Harbor Hotel. Your driver follows your flight before you land, so an early or late arrival is already accounted for. When you step out of the terminal, they are waiting curbside to greet you, take the luggage, and walk you to your reserved vehicle. There is no line to stand in and no pickup pin to track down.
From there it is a single private ride with no transfers and no stops you did not ask for. Your bags travel in the vehicle with you, and the car is reserved for your party alone from start to finish. The price is fixed when you book, with tolls and fuel already built in, so nothing changes on the way. All you do is get in, get comfortable, and let the driver bring you to the door.
Booking the ride in advance locks the price and the vehicle size, puts a driver on your arrival time, and turns the first leg of the trip into the easiest one. The group stays together and the luggage rides with you.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
One child seat or booster is included when you book, and each additional one is $20. Night service, meaning 9 PM to 7 AM, adds $20 to the SUV inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. Extra stops are metered at $45 per 30 minutes.
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.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
Viajando con nuestros hijos, no iba a pelear con un taxi en MIA, así que reservé una van privada a The Altair Bay Harbor Hotel. Nuestro vuelo se retrasó y el conductor seguía ahí esperando — sin cargo extra, nada que resolver.
Landing with the whole crew, it made all the difference that the driver was right there at arrivals with room for everyone. Booking was easy, we got a clear confirmation, and everything went exactly as planned. Honestly the easiest part of our whole trip — arrival was completely stress-free.
For an easy arrival, my wife and I booked this to get from MIA straight to The Altair Bay Harbor Hotel. The driver took care of the suitcases so we didn’t have to lift a thing after the flight. The SUV was spotless, and the AC was perfect. Thanks for the easy arrival!
After a long flight, the last thing we wanted was to hunt for a car — really glad we booked the transfer to The Altair Bay Harbor Hotel. Booking was simple, we got the pickup details in writing, and everything matched what we were told.
My partner and I didn’t want to deal with the airport taxi chaos, so we pre-booked a private ride to The Altair Bay Harbor Hotel. A smooth, easy start to the two of us being on vacation. The driver was professional and courteous, which made it feel first-class.
