From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Arrivals at MIA can feel hectic, so the meeting point is simple: the driver, already aware of your landing time from the flight tracking, waits at the arrivals level. The standard curbside greeting costs nothing extra, and the Meet & Greet inside the hall, name sign in hand, is offered for $40. After that, the trip is private and direct.
The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart sits in Fort Lauderdale, a city defined by its beach and its network of canal-lined waterways. The hotel takes its name from Las Olas Boulevard, the walkable heart of town lined with shops and cafes, and it keeps you close to the Riverwalk and to Port Everglades, one of the busiest cruise ports anywhere. It is the kind of address where the ocean and the city are both within reach the moment you set your bags down.
From the property, the water is only a short walk or drive away, which is why many guests fold a beach stop into the same day they arrive. Fort Lauderdale Beach is close at hand, and the surrounding area opens onto quiet green space and historic corners too. The Bonnet House and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park both fall within easy reach, so an afternoon can just as easily be spent under the trees or beside a preserved estate as on the sand.
Whatever brings you here, the location does the work of keeping your days simple. A stay at The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart often comes with a schedule to keep, and being centered near Las Olas Boulevard means meetings, meals, and appointments around Fort Lauderdale stay tight and predictable. You arrive, settle in, and find the boulevard, the beach, the port, and the parks all arranged around one comfortable base.
The trip runs from the arrivals level at Miami International Airport straight to the entrance of The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart, one reserved vehicle for your group and no stops to pick up strangers. Once you clear the terminal, your driver is already waiting to meet you, helps load the luggage into the vehicle, and walks you out to the car. Your bags ride with you the whole way, and the fare is fixed at booking with tolls and fuel already covered.
Plan on roughly 47 to 61 minutes, depending on how the traffic is moving. Off-peak stretches run quicker, while rush hour sits at the slower end of that range. Because we track your flight, the pickup is timed to when you actually land rather than a fixed slot, so a delayed arrival simply moves the whole pickup rather than leaving you scrambling for a car.
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.
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.
Late is fine: the SUV night fee is $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 outside them for pickups between 9 PM and 7 AM. A stop on the route runs $45 per 30 minutes, and the first child seat or booster is included, with each additional one at $20.
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.
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.
I landed at MIA after a long travel day and it was such a relief to have a private car already waiting for me. They kept an eye on the flight, so even though I landed late, the car was ready and waiting.
We flew into Miami with the kids worn out from the flight, and having a driver waiting was exactly what we needed. They tracked the landing, so even though we landed late, the car was right there. The fare was fixed and agreed up front — exactly what we were quoted, which we really appreciated after traveling.
After a long flight, the last thing we wanted was to hunt for a car — really glad we booked the transfer to The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart.
There were six of us arriving in Miami, and one private transfer to The Villas Las Olas Hotel ‘Apart was the easy way.
Viajando sozinho, queria a chegada resolvida ao sair do Aeroporto de Miami, e isto não podia ser mais fácil. O SUV estava limpo, fresco e confortável, e o ar-condicionado perfeito. Chegando passando da meia-noite, foi muito tranquilizador ter um carro privativo já esperando.
