From $115 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from MIA to Kendale Lakes at one flat rate — no surge, no shared car.
Each price below is the total for the whole vehicle to any Kendale Lakes address, set the moment you book and never moved by traffic or demand.
Your driver follows the inbound flight in real time and is waiting at the arrivals curb by the time you reach the sidewalk with your bags. That curbside greeting is part of the fare — there is no charge for the standard meet-and-greet. The night before, a message reaches you with the driver’s name and the vehicle, so recognition at the terminal is simple. The driver is bilingual, speaking English and either Spanish or Portuguese, which makes sorting arrival details simple on the spot. From the curb it is a straight run out to your address, with the luggage handled for you.
Kendale Lakes sits inland in southwest Miami-Dade, a residential, family-centered area threaded with small lakes and quiet streets rather than tourist crowds. Supermarkets, strip malls, casual restaurants, and everyday services line the main avenues, giving the community a practical, lived-in character. Walking paths trace the water that lends the neighborhood its name, and a local park anchors weekend recreation — you can check its hours and facilities at Kendale Lakes Park. Most riders headed this way are visiting a home, a business, or family rather than a resort.
The route covers 14.8 miles — about 23.8 kilometers — running west on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) toward the southwest suburbs. Off-peak, the door-to-door drive lands near 26 minutes; during heavy airport arrival waves or weekday rush hours it can stretch toward 40. The mileage never changes, so the extra minutes come only from congestion around the airport interchange and the surface streets closer to the neighborhood. Because the price is locked at booking, a slow crawl costs exactly what a clear road does.
Three private tiers cover any party, each reserved for your group alone:
Whatever the size, the vehicle stays reserved for your party alone — no strangers and no side trips to pick up other travelers along the way.
Reserve with a 50% deposit and the booking is confirmed; the remaining half goes straight to the driver on travel day. The number is charged per vehicle for the whole group, so five riders in the SUV pay the same total as one. Pricing is one-way — a round trip is merely the one-way fare doubled, and both legs can be locked in a single reservation. Nothing extra is collected at the curb beyond the agreed balance.
The fare wraps in the private vehicle, the driver, every road toll, the SunPass charge, and fuel — nothing runs on a meter. Onboard WiFi from a mobile hotspot keeps the group connected en route. A few things sit outside the base price and are simple to add at booking: a held name-board waiting inside the terminal is $20, each child seat is $20, and any added stop along the route runs $45 per 30 minutes. The driver also helps load and unload the bags.
Daytime service, 7 AM to 9 PM, carries no surcharge. Outside that window a modest premium applies: an SUV adds $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 for points beyond, while a van adds 10% over the trip value. Kendale Lakes falls inside the local zone, so a late arrival here stays at the smaller SUV figure.
There is nothing to re-book. The driver watches the inbound flight and shifts the pickup unprompted, at no cost, whether you land early or late. Complimentary wait time runs two hours after an international arrival and one hour after a domestic one, so an ordinary delay is fully absorbed and the flat fare holds.
Yes. The rate is per vehicle, not per head, so a solo traveler and a group of five in the SUV pay the identical total shown above. Party size only decides which tier you choose, never the fare itself. Traffic and demand do not move it either, since the number is fixed the moment you book.
Yes. A child seat can be fitted for your ride at $20 each — just request it when you book so the driver has it installed before pickup. That keeps younger travelers secured for the drive between the airport and your door. Add as many as your party needs at the same per-seat rate.
Small pets ride along when you give advance notice on WhatsApp and travel in a proper carrier. Flagging it at booking lets the driver assign the right vehicle for a calm trip. No separate charge is added to the group’s fare when a small pet comes with you.
Ready to lock your ride? Send your flight number, travel date, party size, and the Kendale Lakes address by WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. A 50% deposit confirms the vehicle, driver, and pickup time; the balance is due to the driver on the day. Message ahead for a child seat, an added stop, or a small pet, and it is arranged before travel day.
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.
We landed at MIA with the little ones tired after the flight to stay in Kendale Lakes, and having a driver waiting was a lifesaver. The kids were wiped out after the flight, and getting straight to Kendale Lakes without a taxi hassle was a relief.
Landing with tired kids to visit family in Kendale Lakes, it made all the difference that the driver was right there at arrivals. We got dropped at the address in Kendale Lakes, not left at some corner. The SUV was really comfortable after a long flight, and the AC was perfect.
