From $100 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to the Hyatt Centric South Beach Miami Hotel, met at the terminal curb.
This figure is charged to the whole vehicle rather than to each seat, so a couple and a full van both settle a single agreed number for the run into Miami Beach.
Your inbound flight is followed in real time, so pickup is keyed to the moment the plane lands rather than a slot fixed weeks earlier. Walk out of the terminal with your bags and the driver is already posted in the arrivals pickup lane, ready to load and pull away, and that curbside meet is part of the fare. Prefer to be met inside the building with a name sign in hand? That is an optional add-on at $20, arranged when you reserve. Each driver speaks English alongside Spanish or Portuguese, so sorting out the route or a change of plan stays simple.
The airport and the hotel sit 11.9 miles apart, about 19.2 km, a run the driver usually clears in 27 minutes off-peak and up to 33 when the roads fill. The car leaves the airport on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), then crosses the MacArthur Causeway onto Miami Beach and rolls up to the door. A busy afternoon on the causeway is the one stretch that tends to add minutes; because the rate is locked to the vehicle, those extra minutes never move the price. An earlier or later departure usually keeps the corridor clear.
The Hyatt Centric South Beach Miami Hotel stands at 1600 Collins Avenue, on the corner of 16th Street, inside the South Beach quarter of Miami Beach (ZIP 33139). Step through the door and the Art Deco blocks, the Atlantic sand, and the walking routes toward Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road are all a few minutes away on foot. After a flight, that puts the beach, the cafes, and the shops close enough to reach without a second ride. You can look over the property on the official Hyatt Centric South Beach page or compare layouts on the rooms and suites listing before you travel.
Three private classes cover this route, each one held for a single party with no shared seats and no side pickups:
Every seat comes with room for one checked bag and one carry-on. Arriving with oversized or extra luggage? A quick WhatsApp message ahead of time locks in the room, or bumps you to the next van size, so everything rides in one go.
The number confirmed at booking already carries the tolls, the SunPass charges, and the fuel for the whole drive, so nothing is added when the car reaches the hotel. A mobile hotspot rides along for onboard WiFi, handy for maps or messages on the way into Miami Beach. A few items sit outside that base figure: a child seat runs $20 each, so note the children’s ages and how numerous seats at booking; an added stop along the route is $45 per 30 minutes; and small pets travel with advance WhatsApp notice inside a carrier. The reserved vehicle and the wait for your flight are part of the rate, not extras.
Payment splits in two: half is placed at booking to hold the vehicle and the driver, and the other half is handed to the driver on the day you ride. The deposit can go by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link. The rate is one-way and tied to the vehicle, so a round trip is merely the one-way doubled, the same car covering each direction; reserve both legs together and one driver and one pickup time carry the whole itinerary. Daytime hours from 7 AM to 9 PM add nothing, while outside that window an SUV pickup within Miami-Dade or Broward carries a $20 night charge and vans add 10%.
A late arrival changes nothing on your side. The driver watches the inbound flight and shifts the pickup to the real landing time, with no message needed and no re-booking. The rate stays put, and the reserved car is at the curb once you clear the terminal, so a delay you did not cause never costs you the ride.
Every booking is private from start to finish. The SUV or van holds only your group, with no strangers riding along and no detours to gather other passengers. From the MIA curb to the entrance of the Hyatt Centric South Beach Miami Hotel, the vehicle belongs to your party alone.
Drop-off is right at the front of the Hyatt Centric South Beach Miami Hotel, at 1600 Collins Avenue by 16th Street, so bags come out at the entrance instead of a block down the road. Give that address to anyone meeting you, and the driver pulls to the door on Collins rather than a nearby cross street.
Yes. Book the return alongside the outbound and a round trip is just twice the one-way, with the same car on each leg. On the way back, the driver waits at that same Collins Avenue door and pings you over WhatsApp after arriving. Give the departure time at booking, and the return pickup is timed to match, with luggage loaded at the hotel before the car rolls toward the airport.
Reserve the private MIA transfer to the Hyatt Centric South Beach Miami Hotel now. Message WhatsApp or call 786-682-8748 with the flight number, arrival time, passenger count, and any child-seat or pet requests, and the vehicle and driver are confirmed in writing before you fly. Booking ahead keeps the ride matched to your exact landing.
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.
For an easy arrival, my partner and I booked this to get from MIA straight to Hyatt Centric South Beach Miami Hotel.
Meu marido e eu quisemos evitar o caos de táxi do aeroporto, então combinamos a viagem até Hyatt Centric South Beach Miami Hotel. Sinceramente a parte mais fácil da nossa viagem — a chegada foi sem estresse.
The two of us landed at MIA for vacation and had a driver waiting the moment we reached arrivals. Our flight came in late and the driver had been tracking it — not a worry at all. The driver handled the luggage so we didn’t have to struggle with anything after the flight.
Our group of friends booked one van straight from MIA, and it worked out great. Our flight came in late and the driver was still there waiting — not a worry at all.
Loved it — private, punctual, and painless. The driver was happy to speak English or Spanish, which made sorting out the details that much easier.
