From $280 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to The Vineta Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Book with the flight number and the driver watches it land. Meet at the arrivals curb, where the meet-and-greet is part of the price, or choose the inside name-sign welcome for an extra $20. The driver handles the luggage and heads straight out, no other passengers, no stops unless you add them.
The Vineta Hotel sits on the island of Palm Beach, just across the Intracoastal Waterway from West Palm. It is a slender barrier island with a character all its own, and settling into the hotel puts you right in the middle of what makes this stretch of coast worth the trip. Once you have checked in, the rest of the island opens up around you, easy to reach on foot or by a short ride.
The island is defined by three landmarks, and every one of them is close at hand from The Vineta Hotel. Worth Avenue is the celebrated shopping street, lined with storefronts and quiet courtyards to wander through. The Breakers anchors the oceanfront with its long history and grand scale. The Flagler Museum tells the story of how Palm Beach came to be, in a Gilded Age mansion built for Henry Flagler. Together they give a first-time visitor an easy map of the place.
Beyond those three, Mar-a-Lago is also within easy reach, adding to the sense that everything on the island is a short hop away. That is part of the appeal of a base like The Vineta Hotel: you land, you drop your bags, and the highlights of Palm Beach are close enough that you never feel far from any of them. The setting is compact and walkable, framed by the ocean on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, and the hotel puts you squarely inside it from the moment you arrive.
The trip runs door to door from the arrivals level at Miami International Airport straight to The Vineta Hotel. There is no line to join and no app to open. After 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 so the whole group rides together in one reserved SUV or van.
From MIA the route heads north on I-95, covering roughly 70 miles up the coast to the island of Palm Beach. Traffic on I-95 is the main variable in how long it takes, and because the pickup is timed to your actual landing, an early or late flight is handled without any rebooking. Your bags stay with you in the vehicle the entire way, and the ride ends right at the door of The Vineta Hotel.
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.
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.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. A child seat is $20 on request, 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.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.

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.
Flying into Miami solo, I wasn’t up for the taxi line after a long flight, so I booked a private ride to The Vineta Hotel. My flight was delayed and the driver was still there waiting — no extra charge, nothing to sort out.
Landing with the whole crew, it made all the difference that the driver was waiting at arrivals with room for everyone. Landing after midnight, it was a huge comfort to have a private car already waiting instead of hunting for a ride.
As a solo traveler I booked the airport pickup to The Vineta Hotel ahead of time, and it was the best call. The driver dropped me exactly where I needed to be.
First time flying into MIA by myself, and having someone right there at arrivals took the stress out of it. Traveling on my own, I felt in good hands from arrivals all the way to The Vineta Hotel.
Getting a big group out of the airport is usually a headache — one pre-booked van to The Vineta Hotel made it painless. They tracked the landing, so even though we landed late, the car was ready and waiting. Landing after midnight, it was so reassuring to have a private car already waiting instead of a taxi gamble.
