From $125 per vehicle — a private, one-way ride from MIA to Walkabout Beach Resort on Hollywood beach.
Each rate below is for the whole vehicle, not per seat, and it locks the moment you reserve — the SUV first, then the two van sizes.
Pickup is curbside, right where you step out of the arrivals hall at Miami International Airport. Your inbound flight is tracked, so the car is in position for your real landing rather than the printed time. A quick WhatsApp message shows you where to walk once your luggage is with you. Would you rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign held for your party? That option adds $40; the typical curbside meet is already part of every booking. No app to launch — you step out and the car reserved in your name is waiting.
Walkabout Beach Resort sits directly on the Atlantic in Hollywood, Florida, the low-key beach town that fills the coast between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Its address, 2500 North Surf Road, Hollywood, FL 33019, puts it on a slim beach lane wedged between Ocean Drive and the sand, so the walk from the tailgate to check-in stays short. The resort faces a wide, walkable stretch of shoreline where the promenade draws joggers and cyclists, and casual seafood counters, ice-cream windows, bike rentals and small shops fill the blocks by the water. It is the sort of spot where a morning on the beach, an afternoon coffee, and an evening of live music all sit within a few steps of the door. Full details on the property are on the Walkabout Beach Resort official site, with area background at the Greater Fort Lauderdale visitor listing.
Plan on 45 to 52 minutes from the airport curb to the resort door, with traffic setting where in that range you land. The trip runs 25.6 miles — roughly 41.2 kilometers — heading north up the I-95 Express lanes to the Hollywood beachfront. A clear mid-morning or early-afternoon window brings the drive close to 45 minutes, while rush-hour volume on the northbound side nudges it toward 52. Since the driver follows your flight rather than a set clock, an early or late touchdown moves the pickup, not the drive time once you are rolling.
Three private classes cover this route, and each one is held for your party alone — never pooled with other travelers. Match the choice to headcount and bags:
The single per-vehicle price folds in the whole drive: the private car, a driver fluent in English and either Spanish or Portuguese, and every road cost along the way. Tolls, SunPass and fuel already sit inside the number, so nothing extra changes hands on the highway, and a mobile hotspot keeps WiFi running for the ride. Flight tracking is included, with no waiting-line charge on a normal landing.
A few things sit outside the base rate. A child seat is $20 each; a name-sign meet inside the terminal is $40; a pickup outside daytime hours carries the night charge described below; and an added stop along the way runs $45 for each 30 minutes. Anything unusual is easiest to settle over WhatsApp before the day so the price is set in advance.
Payment splits in two: a 50% deposit holds the vehicle and the quoted rate when you book, and the other half goes straight to the driver on the day you ride. Send the deposit by Venmo, Zelle or a secure link over WhatsApp or the website. The charge is per vehicle for the whole group, and it is one-way by default — a round trip is merely the one-way fare doubled, booked as a single reservation so one driver covers both directions.
Daytime hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge at all. A pickup outside that window adds a set amount tied to the vehicle. On the Black SUV the night fee is $20 while the trip stays inside Miami-Dade or Broward, rising to $50 once the drive reaches beyond those two counties; on the vans it is 10% added to the trip value. Because Walkabout Beach Resort sits in Broward, the $20 SUV figure is the one that applies here — and either way the amount is settled up front, never sprung at the curb.
Nothing changes on your side. The driver keeps an eye on the inbound flight, so an earlier or later landing merely slides the curbside pickup to fit. Working around a delay is free — no fresh booking, no surge price, no vanished car. You clear the terminal and the vehicle is already waiting.
Yes, with a heads-up. Small pets are welcome once you flag it over WhatsApp ahead of time, riding in a pet carrier. Note it when you book so the correct vehicle is set aside and the driver expects the carrier. Sorting it early keeps anything from catching you out at the curb.
Per vehicle, every time. The whole group travels on the one flat rate listed up top, whether the SUV holds a single passenger or a full five. Adding people up to a vehicle’s limit never lifts the price — only stepping up to a larger van does. A round trip doubles the one-way figure, and an after-hours pickup adds the night charge.
The typical allowance is one checked bag and a carry-on for each passenger, and both the SUV and the vans take that with room to spare. Traveling with a board bag, golf clubs or another long item? Send the rough measurements over WhatsApp at booking — oversized gear can decide the vehicle for you quicker than passenger count, and the right size turns up. The car is held for your party alone, so the space is never shared with strangers.
Yes. The same private ride runs the other way, carrying you from Walkabout Beach Resort back to Miami International Airport for your departure. Booking both legs on one reservation pins down a driver and a pickup time in each direction, and the return is priced at double the one-way fare. Pass along the details for the flight home and the outbound pickup is arranged just like the arrival.
Ready to lock in your ride to Walkabout Beach Resort? Send the flight number, date, passenger count and pickup point by WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748, and the vehicle and flat fare come straight back. The earlier you reserve, the easier it is to hold your preferred size for the 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. 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, 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.
For a smooth arrival, my wife and I booked this to get from MIA straight to Walkabout Beach Resort. We were picked up right on time, no delays.
I can’t stand the whole rideshare scramble at MIA, so I set up a private car to Walkabout Beach Resort. My flight came in late and the driver adjusted with no problem — no extra charge, nothing to sort out.
Tras un vuelo largo, lo último que queríamos era buscar auto — muy bueno que coordinamos el traslado a Walkabout Beach Resort. Siguieron el vuelo, así que aunque llegamos tarde, el auto ya estaba ahí.
Conductor profesional. Ruta inteligente. Vale la pena. Buen precio.
Para una llegada sin estrés, mi esposo y yo reservamos esto para ir de MIA directo a Walkabout Beach Resort. Sinceramente la parte más fácil de nuestro viaje — la llegada fue sin estrés.
