From $175 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Golden Bay Lodge in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Give us the flight number and the driver plans the pickup around the actual arrival. The greeting at the MIA arrivals curb is included; the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign is a $40 add-on. Bags go in, doors close, and the vehicle leaves for the destination without sharing the ride with anyone else.
Golden Bay Lodge sits in Hallandale Beach, on the stretch of South Florida coast that runs north from Miami along the Atlantic. It makes an easy base for a beach trip: the water is only a short walk or drive away, and many guests fold a first swim into the same day they arrive. The setting is calm and close to the sand, so you can drop your bags and be looking at the ocean within minutes.
Just beyond the door, the area gives you plenty to do without a long drive. Gulfstream Park anchors the neighborhood with live racing and a walkable cluster of shops and dining, and there is more shopping a little farther along the coast. Travelers who like the outdoors can reach a state park and a historic fishing pier without much effort, so a morning on the beach and an afternoon out on the water fit comfortably into one day.
When you reach Golden Bay Lodge, you are close to what a short Florida getaway needs — sand, food, and easy day trips — while staying a step removed from the busiest tourist streets. Because the beach is so near, guests often plan an arrival-day swim or an evening walk along the shore. For a first-time visitor it is a straightforward, low-fuss part of the coast: settle in, get your bearings quickly, and start enjoying the water the same afternoon your ride drops you off.
Your driver is waiting when you land at Miami International Airport. Once you clear the arrivals area, they meet you, take the luggage, and walk you to the vehicle — no line to stand in. From there it is one private car reserved for your party, heading north via I-95 straight to the door of Golden Bay Lodge. Because the driver tracks your flight, a late arrival simply moves the pickup, and the car is still there when you come out.
Plan on roughly 39 to 53 minutes for the trip, depending on traffic. Off-peak the highway moves quickly, while the morning and late-afternoon rush push the drive toward the longer end, which is why the pickup is timed to your actual landing rather than a fixed clock. Your bags ride with you the whole way, and the driver knows the local roads, so the last stretch to Golden Bay Lodge stays simple.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
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.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
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 can’t stand the whole rideshare scramble at MIA, so I set up a private car to Golden Bay Lodge. I liked it enough that I booked the same company for the ride back to the airport. Honestly the smoothest part of my whole trip — arrival was completely stress-free.
A few friends and I landed in Miami and booked one private van from the airport to Golden Bay Lodge. The driver dropped us straight at Golden Bay Lodge. The ride to Golden Bay Lodge was calm and hassle-free.
Viajando con los niños, no iba a pelear con un taxi en MIA, así que reservé una van privada a Golden Bay Lodge. El conductor se ocupó del equipaje para que no tuviéramos que batallar con nada tras el vuelo. Sin fila de taxis, sin esperar una app — salimos y el auto ya estaba ahí.
Getting all of us out of the airport is usually a headache — one pre-booked van to Golden Bay Lodge made it effortless. The driver was bilingual, which made the whole thing that much easier.
I landed at MIA after a long travel day and it was so nice to have a private car already waiting for me.
