From $400 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Jeff’s Backyard Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Give us the flight number and the driver plans the pickup around the actual arrival. The greeting at the MIA arrivals curb is included; a name-sign welcome inside the terminal is a $20 add-on. Bags go in, doors close, and the vehicle leaves for the destination without sharing the ride with anyone else.
Jeff’s Backyard Resort sits at the northern end of the county, in Jupiter, where the coast stays quiet and the water is never far. It is built around easy access to the shoreline, close enough that many guests reach the sand on foot or with a short drive. Arriving from out of town, you trade the busy pace of the city for a calmer stretch of Florida coast, with the inlet and the ocean forming the backdrop to your stay.
The area around the resort holds some of Jupiter’s best-known landmarks. The Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse marks the inlet a short way off, and Jupiter Beach gives you an open stretch of sand for the afternoon. Golf resorts share this corner of the county, and the Gardens Mall is within easy reach when you want shopping or a meal out. For a change of pace, Riverbend Park offers trails and water closer to the natural side of the region, an easy add to any day.
When you reach Jeff’s Backyard Resort, the water is close enough that plenty of travelers add a beach stop the same day they arrive, before they have even unpacked. The resort’s spot in Jupiter puts you near the inlet, the lighthouse, and miles of coast, so the first afternoon can be as full or as slow as you like. It makes a natural base for a Jupiter trip, with the north county’s beaches, parks, and shopping all a short drive from the door.
The ride from MIA to Jeff’s Backyard Resort runs roughly 90 miles, mostly along Florida’s Turnpike, and takes about 102 to 114 minutes depending on traffic. Off-peak the Turnpike moves quickly, while the morning and late-afternoon rush push the drive toward the longer end. Your driver takes the whole route in one go, with no transfer and no stop you did not ask for, so you can settle in for the trip north.
It is door to door from the moment you land. The driver tracks your flight, meets you after you clear the terminal, and helps with the bags, which ride in the vehicle with you the entire way. Because the pickup follows your actual arrival, an early or late flight changes nothing about the plan. You step out, the car is ready, and the next stop is the door of Jeff’s Backyard Resort.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
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.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. A child seat is fitted on request for $20. Extra stops along the way are $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.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
I landed at MIA late and it was such a relief to have my own driver already waiting for me. No taxi line, no rideshare surge — I just walked out and the car was ready.
After a long flight, the last thing we wanted was to hunt for a car — so glad we pre-arranged the transfer to Jeff’s Backyard Resort. The driver took care of the suitcases so we didn’t have to struggle with anything after the flight.
I got into Miami after a long travel day and it was so nice to have a private car already waiting for me. Traveling on my own, I felt safe and looked after from arrivals all the way to Jeff’s Backyard Resort.
Getting all of us out of the airport is usually a headache — one pre-booked van to Jeff’s Backyard Resort made it painless.
Nossa família chegou a MIA e o motorista estava com a cadeirinha pronta — uma baita ajuda. O motorista era bilíngue, o que deixou tudo bem mais fácil.
