From $200 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to The Plunge Beach 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.
Book with the flight number and the driver watches it land. Meet at the arrivals curb, where the greeting is part of the price, or choose the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign for an extra $40. The driver handles the luggage and heads straight out, no other passengers, no stops unless you add them.
The Plunge Beach Hotel sits right on the sand in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a small, walkable oceanfront village just north of Fort Lauderdale. The setting is the draw here: from the hotel the water is only a short walk or drive away, so many guests wander down for a first look at the shore the same day they arrive. It is the kind of place where the beach becomes part of your day without a plan or a long trip to reach it.
What makes this stretch of coast unusual is what lies just offshore. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is one of the only spots in Florida where you can snorkel a living reef straight from the beach, no boat required. If you travel with a mask and fins, that shore-dive reef is within easy reach, and it is a genuine reason to pick this address over a more ordinary beach hotel. The village keeps a low-key, unhurried feel even in season.
You are also well placed for a few local landmarks worth an afternoon. Anglin’s Fishing Pier is close by for a walk over the water or a slow morning with a line in. Datura Avenue anchors the little downtown, with places to eat and browse a short stroll from the sand. El Prado Park is nearby as well when you want a shaded, quieter break off the beach. It all stays comfortably compact, which is part of what makes The Plunge Beach Hotel an easy base for a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea stay.
This is a private, door-to-door ride, booked ahead so your vehicle is waiting when you land. After you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport, your driver meets you in the arrivals area, helps with the bags, and walks you to the car. Your luggage rides in the vehicle with you, and the whole car is reserved for your group alone. From the airport the driver heads out on I-95 and runs straight up to The Plunge Beach Hotel, so it stays one smooth trip.
Because we track your flight, an early or late arrival is handled on our side at no extra charge, with no need to re-book. The fare is flat and locked when you reserve, so the price you see is the price you pay, whether you are one traveler with a carry-on or a full group headed to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea together. When you reach the hotel, the driver brings you right to the door.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
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.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
My husband and I booked a private transfer from Miami Airport to The Plunge Beach Hotel so we wouldn’t have to sort out a taxi after our flight.
We flew into Miami with the kids late at night, and having a driver waiting was a lifesaver. The driver was bilingual, which made sorting out the details that much easier.
Meu companheiro e eu reservamos um traslado privativo do Aeroporto de Miami até The Plunge Beach Hotel para não esperar um rideshare depois do voo. O motorista nos deixou exatamente onde precisávamos. A tarifa foi fixa e combinada antes — exatamente o cotado, o que agradecemos depois da viagem. Obrigado pela chegada tão simples!
Getting a big group out of the airport is usually a headache — one pre-booked van to The Plunge Beach Hotel made it effortless. No taxi line, no rideshare surge — we just walked out and the car was there.
Our family of four came into MIA, and the driver had the child seat ready — a real relief. The kids were wiped out after the flight, and getting straight to The Plunge Beach Hotel without a taxi hassle was perfect. The car was clean, cool, and comfortable, and the AC was perfect.
