From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to the JW Marriott Marquis Miami Hotel in downtown Miami.
The rate is flat, set the moment you book, and covers the whole vehicle rather than each seat — a solo traveler and a full van of fourteen pay the same figure for their tier.
Curbside pickup comes with every booking. As you step out of the terminal with your bags, the driver is already in place, because your inbound flight is followed live and the meeting is set against the plane on the ground rather than a fixed clock. The exact spot at the curb is confirmed by WhatsApp once you land, so a gate change or an early arrival is one short message away. Prefer a driver holding a name board inside the terminal? That meet can be added for $40. Either way, the luggage is taken at the curb and loaded before the short run into downtown begins.
The hotel sits 7.2 miles (11.6 km) from the airport, a run of close to 20 minutes when the roads are clear and nearer 23 once downtown fills up. The vehicle leaves MIA heading east on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), which feeds straight toward the central business district. Because the Marquis stands inside the downtown core instead of out on a causeway or an island, there is no long crawl through side streets at the finish — the car comes off the expressway and reaches the entrance within a couple of turns. Evenings tend to land at the quick end of that band, weekday rush hours at the slower one. Your driver reads live traffic and takes the cleanest lanes, keeping the door-to-door time as tight as the road allows.
This is a high-rise address in the middle of downtown Miami, a compact and walkable stretch of glass towers, waterfront paths, and offices lined along Biscayne Bay. Step outside and the financial district, the riverfront restaurants, the bayfront museums and performing-arts halls, and the shopping that draws business and leisure guests alike are all minutes away. Conference floors, rooftop bars, and the Brickell district just to the south fill the surrounding blocks, giving a refined, urban base beside the water rather than a beachfront one. For room details and layouts before arrival, the property’s JW Marriott Marquis Miami overview spells out the specifics. It suits anyone who would rather stay inside the city than commute into it for meetings, dinner, or sightseeing.
Every booking holds the vehicle for your group alone — no pooling, no strangers, no side trips to drop another rider. The driver is bilingual, speaking English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the arrival for travelers landing from abroad. The figure quoted at booking is the figure paid: traffic, demand, and a delayed plane never move it. With a checked bag and a carry-on riding for each passenger, the whole party and its luggage travel together on one journey into downtown instead of splitting across two cars.
Payment splits in two, so nothing large falls due at once. Half is paid up front to hold the vehicle, and the balance goes to the driver on the day of travel. Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link sent over WhatsApp all carry the deposit. The price is charged per vehicle for the whole group, never per person, and a round journey is simply the one-way figure doubled — the same driver and a confirmed time cover both the airport pickup and the return to MIA.
The quoted rate already carries the private SUV or van, the bilingual driver, live flight tracking, and every road cost on the way — tolls, SunPass, and fuel sit inside the figure, so nothing is tacked on at the curb. Each vehicle runs onboard WiFi from a mobile hotspot for the ride in. A couple of things fall outside the base fare: a child seat is $20 each, and any added stop along the route runs $45 for every half hour. Small pets are welcome as well, with a heads-up on WhatsApp and a carrier for the journey.
Daytime runs from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with nothing added. Rides that start outside that window carry a modest after-hours charge that depends on the vehicle.
Miami runs two hotels with nearly the same name: the JW Marriott Marquis in the downtown core — where this ride ends — and the separate JW Marriott Miami over on Brickell Avenue, just across the river. Check which name your room booking carries before you reserve the car, because the driver drops you at the Marquis downtown. A wrong hotel name is the single detail that flight tracking cannot sort out.
Yes. The inbound flight is watched in real time, so a late landing simply shifts the pickup to when the plane actually touches down — no penalty, no rebooking. The fare stays exactly as quoted. Share the flight number at booking and the driver adjusts to the true arrival, early or late.
The standard allowance is a checked bag and a carry-on for each traveler — enough for up to five in the SUV and six through fourteen in the vans. Arriving with oversized or extra pieces? Send a WhatsApp note before the day and the room is confirmed, or the booking moves up to a larger van so everything rides comfortably.
Both work with a little notice. A child seat is $20 and is fitted before pickup, so send the child’s age and the number of seats when booking. Small pets ride too, as long as there is advance word on WhatsApp and the animal travels in a carrier. Flag either one at booking so the vehicle is set up before the driver arrives.
Yes. Because the drop-off sits right in the downtown core, the same private SUV or van can carry your group onward whenever you leave the hotel — over to Brickell, out to the beaches, or back to MIA. Share the plan with the driver over WhatsApp and a time is set for the next leg.
To lock in your private ride between MIA and the JW Marriott Marquis Miami Hotel, send your date, arrival time, flight number, group size, and any child-seat or pet request over WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. The vehicle, the fare, and the pickup point are confirmed as soon as the deposit lands.
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.
I got into Miami late and it was such a relief to have my own driver already waiting for me. No taxi line, no standing around waiting on an app — I just walked out and the car was ready. The driver was happy to speak English or Spanish, which made the whole thing that much easier.
As a solo traveler I booked the airport pickup to JW Marriott Marquis Miami Hotel ahead of time, and it made arriving painless.
As a solo traveler I booked the airport pickup to JW Marriott Marquis Miami Hotel ahead of time, and it was the best call.
First time flying into MIA solo, and having someone right there at arrivals made it so easy. I liked it enough that I booked the same company for the ride back to the airport. The driver was in a sharp, clean car, which made it feel first-class. Would book again in a heartbeat.
On time, professional, and we were at JW Marriott Marquis Miami Hotel before we knew it. No taxi line, no rideshare surge — we just walked out and the car was ready.
