From $115 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from MIA to Kendall West — flat rate, door to door, one bilingual driver.
One flat price per vehicle is set the moment you book and holds for the whole group, whatever traffic does that day.
Pickup is curbside at Miami International, with the driver in the arrivals lane as you step out carrying your bags — no app to open, no line to join. The night before travel, a text lands with the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and the plate, plus the exact spot to look for at the curb. Favor to be met inside the terminal with a name sign? That in-terminal greeting is a $20 add-on, while the typical curbside meet costs nothing. Your inbound flight is tracked in real time, so an early landing or a slow carousel changes nothing about who is waiting.
Kendall West is a residential, census-designated community on the southwest side of Miami-Dade — row on row of quiet family homes, low-rise apartment blocks, and workaday shopping plazas rather than a tourist strip. Supermarkets, schools, casual restaurants, and neighborhood parks line the main avenues, and the pace runs calmer than the coastal districts nearer the water. Most arrivals come to visit family, attend an event, or settle near the western edge of the metro before moving on. The Census Bureau profile for Kendall West lays out the population and housing picture, and the ride ends at any street address, apartment building, or business door you name.
The distance is 18.6 miles (30.0 km), covered in roughly 31 minutes when the roads are clear and stretching toward 45 minutes at the morning and evening peaks — so the realistic spread is 31 to 45 minutes from curb to curb. Nearly the whole trip runs on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) heading west out of the airport, a single toll corridor with no awkward changes. Because that toll is folded into the fare and the driver already has an eye on your flight, a late touchdown or a slow bag belt never moves the price or leaves anyone stranded. Share a target time on WhatsApp if an onward plan is tight, and the pickup is built backward from it.
Half the fare is due as a deposit to hold the booking, and the balance goes to the driver on travel day. The price is charged per vehicle, never per head, so two passengers or a full van of fourteen ride for the single figure listed above. A round trip is that one-way figure doubled, with the return pickup scheduled for whatever date suits. Payment goes through a secure WhatsApp link, Venmo, or Zelle.
The rate is all-in for the ride itself: a bilingual driver at the wheel, fluent in English and either Spanish or Portuguese, plus live flight tracking and a curbside meet at no charge. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are already inside the number, so the SR-836 toll adds nothing at the end. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, luggage is loaded and unloaded at both doors, and small pets travel in a carrier with a heads-up on WhatsApp. A child seat is $20, a name sign inside the terminal is $20, and any extra stop arranged ahead runs $45 per half hour. The usual bag allowance is one checked piece and one carry-on per passenger, with heavier loads sized up to a larger van when flagged in advance.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM with nothing added. Outside that window, a black SUV carries a $20 night charge for trips inside Miami-Dade and Broward, rising to $50 for anywhere beyond those two counties, while a van adds 10 percent to the trip value. Kendall West sits well within Miami-Dade, so a late arrival there stays at the $20 SUV figure.
The name covers a belt of west-county communities, and the variants carrying an extra word sit on entirely separate streets. Nobody should have to guess the right one from the label alone. Send the full numbered street address with its ZIP code and the community name in one message, and the destination is locked from the start.
No — every booking is private to your party. The SUV or van carries only your group, with no pooled riders and no side trips to collect strangers. From the MIA curb to your door, the vehicle is yours for the full one-way run.
The driver follows the inbound flight and shifts the pickup automatically, early or late, at no cost. Included waiting runs to two hours after an international arrival, one hour after a domestic one, and a quarter hour at an address stop. A long customs line or a crawling bag belt will not cost you the car.
Reserving at least 24 hours out gives the cleanest confirmation, online or over WhatsApp, with the vehicle held for your date and time. Shorter-notice requests are still reviewed by hand, though a same-day slot cannot be promised. A confirmed pickup can be moved with a day’s notice, subject to what is open.
Lock in a private transfer between MIA and Kendall West by sending your flight number, pickup address, passenger count, and travel date on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748. The vehicle and driver come back confirmed for your slot, with the full details texted the night before. Booking early makes it easier to match an exact arrival time.
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.
Group of seven, lots of luggage, fair deal, would book again easily. even with traffic the route was sensible. Smart way to start a trip.
After a red-eye, the last thing we wanted was to hunt for a car out to Kendall West — so glad we pre-arranged the transfer. They tracked the arrival, so even though we got in late, the car was right there.
Llegando a Miami por trabajo, no tenía ganas de la fila de taxis tras un vuelo largo, así que reservé un viaje privado de MIA a Kendall West. El conductor encontró la dirección sin problema, que no siempre es fácil en una zona residencial.
Landing with tired kids to visit family in Kendall West, it made all the difference that the driver was right there at arrivals. The ride to Kendall West was direct and easy, straight there. Tolls and everything were already included, so we just got in and relaxed on the way to Kendall West.
We landed at MIA with the little ones late at night to stay in Kendall West, and having a driver waiting was a lifesaver. Booking was simple, we got a confirmation the night before, and everything matched what we were told. We were in town to visit relatives in Kendall West, and starting the trip this easy meant a lot. Highly recommend.
