From $100 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from MIA to Element Miami Doral Hotel — door to door in a black SUV or van.
Each fare below is the whole-vehicle price for a one-way private ride between the airport and the hotel, fixed at booking and never nudged by traffic or the hour. Choose the class that matches your group and bags.
At MIA the arrivals curb works as an active loading zone, and cars are not allowed to sit and wait for a passenger who hasn’t shown. Your pickup is built around that: send your flight number when you book, and the driver follows the inbound arrival on the day, pulling to the curb at the moment you step out with your luggage. The curbside meet is part of every private transfer — you walk out, find your driver, and load straight into a reserved black SUV or van, with no app or rideshare line to join. Would you rather be met inside the hall by a driver holding your name? That in-terminal greeting is a $20 add-on chosen at booking, in place of the included curbside meet. An early or delayed landing simply re-times the pickup at no extra charge.
Element Miami Doral Hotel sits just west of the airport, which makes this one of the shorter runs on the board — about 8.8 miles (14.2 km), covered in roughly 19 to 26 minutes from curb to lobby. Most of the trip rides the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) heading west, clear of the downtown crawl. Off-peak — mid-morning, early afternoon, or late evening — the hotel is about 19 minutes from the terminal; in the morning and evening rush, westbound congestion stretches it toward 26, and that swing never touches the fare. There is no second leg and no transfer point, so the vehicle leaves MIA and heads straight to the hotel entrance.
Element Miami Doral Hotel sits in Doral, a fast-growing city on Miami’s western edge shaped by corporate campuses, tournament-caliber golf courses, and a sizable Latin American population — Brazilian and Venezuelan roots run deep in the local cafes and restaurants. The mood is business-district modern rather than coastal, with office parks and retail plazas in place of an oceanfront promenade. The property is an extended-stay, suite-style hotel made for guests who want a kitchen and room to settle in over several nights, and pets are welcome. Room and amenity details are on the Element Miami Doral hotel page, and live rates show through the Element Miami Doral booking page. For most travelers, Doral is a quiet, central base a short hop from the terminal.
Three private vehicle classes cover this route, each held for your group alone:
One thing worth flagging on a Doral extended-stay run: a suite with a kitchen usually means a longer trip and heavier bags, and it is cargo room — not seats — that fills up first. When the luggage pile outgrows the headcount — a stroller, a week of work samples — reserve the next size up even if the smaller class technically seats everyone. Offer us the headcount and bag count at booking and we assign the right vehicle.
The number quoted at booking is the number you pay — the toll, SunPass, and fuel costs are already baked into the flat rate, so nothing is metered or topped up afterward. Onboard WiFi from a mobile hotspot keeps you connected on the quick run into Doral, and the curbside airport meet comes with every transfer. The driver speaks two languages — English plus either Spanish or Portuguese — which smooths the handoff at a crowded terminal.
Booking takes a 50% deposit that reserves your specific vehicle and locks the rate; you settle the balance with the driver on travel day. Pay by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link, with cash accepted for nearby, close-in pickups. Every fare is one-way and per vehicle, so a round trip just doubles the single-leg price — book both directions together and one car and driver cover your round trip to and from MIA.
Daytime hours run 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. Outside that window a modest night premium applies: for the SUV it is $20 on trips within Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 for destinations beyond those counties, while vans add 10% over the trip value. Optional items sit outside the base fare, confirmed when you reserve:
Nothing changes and you pay nothing extra. Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and shifts the curbside pickup to your actual landing, whether you touch down early or late. The agreed fare holds, so a delay never triggers a new booking or a surge — the assigned car simply waits at the curb until you walk out.
Per vehicle, every time. Your whole group rides on the single fare shown in the price list, whether one passenger travels or a full van of fourteen — the number never multiplies by headcount, and a round trip is just double the one-way figure.
Yes. The standard allowance is a checked bag and a carry-on per person, which the SUV and vans handle easily. Carrying extra pieces, sports gear, or oversized bags for an extended stay? Message us on WhatsApp and we confirm the space or move you to a larger van so everything fits.
Yes. The same private booking works in reverse, from Element Miami Doral Hotel back to the airport, timed to your check-out and the airline’s recommended arrival window. Reserve both legs at once and a single driver and confirmed pickup time cover your arrival and your departure, with the return priced as a second one-way leg.
As soon as your dates are set. Booking ahead is the whole point of a private transfer — send your travel dates, flight number, the hotel, and your group size by WhatsApp, and the vehicle and fare are held for that slot before wheels-down. Early confirmation matters most for the larger vans in hectic travel weeks.
Ready to lock your MIA-to-Doral ride? Call or message 786-682-8748, or reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748. Send your flight number, date, and group size, and we confirm the vehicle, the flat fare, and your driver before you fly.
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 for work, I didn’t want to face the taxi line after a long flight, so I booked a private ride to Element Miami Doral Hotel. The driver handled the luggage so I didn’t have to struggle with anything after the flight. The car was spotless, and the AC was perfect.
Clean car, easy pickup, and a driver who knew exactly where Element Miami Doral Hotel was. Would book again. A relaxed start to the two of us being on vacation.
We came to Florida for our honeymoon and starting the trip with a private airport pickup was the right move. Our flight came in late and the driver had been tracking it — not a worry at all. The driver dropped us straight at Element Miami Doral Hotel.
Llegué a Miami tarde y fue muy cómodo tener mi propio conductor ya esperándome. Llegando de noche, fue un gran alivio tener un auto privado ya esperando. Era un auto privado sin nadie más que recoger, lo que hizo el viaje a Element Miami Doral Hotel fácil y calmado.
Llegamos a Miami con los niños agotados del vuelo, y tener un conductor esperando fue una salvación. Llegando de noche, fue muy tranquilizador tener un auto privado ya esperando. Nuestro vuelo se retrasó y el conductor seguía ahí esperando — sin cargo extra, nada que resolver.
