From $100 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from MIA to the Plymouth South Beach Hotel, about 11.9 miles door to door.
Every figure below is the flat, whole-vehicle price for this route, fixed the moment you book and unmoved by traffic or the hour you land.
Your driver waits at the arrivals curb, staged outside the exit that matches your flight, so the walk from baggage claim ends at a ready vehicle — no garage level to decode, no rideshare lot to cross. That curbside greeting is part of the fare. Want the driver inside the hall holding a name sign instead? Add that meet for $20 at booking. Because MIA keeps its North, Central and South halls linked under one roof, whichever airline flies you in the meeting point barely shifts — a distinct door, the same simple routine.
Count on roughly 27 minutes when the roads are open and up to 33 at the day’s busiest. The car leaves the terminals, picks up the Dolphin Expressway — SR-836 — and covers the 11.9 miles, 19.2 kilometers, in one continuous run to the hotel door. Weekday rush hours sit at the top of that band, while midday and evening arrivals land near the bottom — a spread of only about six minutes, so timing a pickup to your landing stays simple. Heading back, send the outbound flight time and the hotel collection is set to match, buffer included.
The Plymouth is a boutique property in Miami Beach’s Art Deco district, a restored period building that trades the roar of the main strip for a calmer, design-led corner of South Beach. Travelers tend to choose it deliberately, for its look and its scale. Preview current photos, dining and amenities on the Plymouth’s official site, and compare layouts among its rooms and suites before you fly. Being set down at the entrance means the first move off the plane is checking in, not circling blocks you do not yet know.
South Beach carries the days on its own. The sand and the ocean sit a short walk east, pastel Art Deco facades line the blocks, and the cafes and restaurants strung along Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue run from breakfast to well past midnight. Galleries, shops and constant sidewalk life fill everything between, all inside a walkable radius of the front door. It is the sort of pocket where a rental car quietly stops earning its keep, which is why one private drop at the Plymouth South Beach Hotel is usually all the transport the trip needs.
Headcount is the only thing that decides it, and each option runs privately for your party alone:
Several costs that surface as surprises elsewhere already sit inside this quote:
A few items sit outside that flat figure and are always agreed before you confirm: a child seat runs $20, an in-terminal name-sign meet is $20, extra stops along the way are $45 for each 30 minutes, and pickups outside daytime hours carry the night rate shown below. Nothing is tacked on quietly at the curb.
Daytime runs from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. A pickup outside that window — a red-eye landing or a pre-dawn departure — adds a small off-hours amount, and since the Plymouth sits inside Miami-Dade the SUV rate is the one that applies:
The fare splits in two: half holds the booking, half is paid the day you travel. Send the deposit by Venmo, Zelle or a secure link, and the other 50% goes straight to your driver at pickup. Pricing is one-way, so a round trip is merely that fare counted twice under the same deposit — book both legs together and the return from the hotel is timed and confirmed ahead. For close-in trips the balance can be paid in cash to the driver, though the securing deposit stays electronic.
No — every booking is fully private. The van or SUV belongs to one reservation at a time, so no seat is sold on its own, no second party is ever added, and there is no multi-stop circuit to sit through. It pulls away from the terminal the moment your group is set and heads straight to the hotel door.
Yes, and booking from abroad is the norm. Because the whole exchange runs on WhatsApp over WiFi, there is no roaming charge and no local SIM to buy: you send the trip details, receive a written quote, and lock the pickup, all before leaving home. Nothing needs installing beyond the app itself, and the thread you reserve in becomes the same channel that delivers your driver’s name and vehicle on landing day.
Yes. Share how old your children are and how many seats you would like at booking, and the car is fitted before pickup. Each child seat is $20 and lands on the written quote, so the full figure is in front of you before anything is locked in. None of it is settled at the curb.
Small pets travel fine with two things arranged ahead: a note over WhatsApp at booking, and a proper carrier for the trip. The early word lets your driver ready the right vehicle, and the carrier keeps the pet steady on the expressway. Set it up when you reserve and arrival day looks no distinct.
Yes. Once the South Beach stay is over, those same private vehicles cover the trip out from the Plymouth: a cruise sailing from PortMiami, a flight from Fort Lauderdale or another nearby airport, or a longer haul to cities elsewhere in Florida. Lock that leg together with the arrival transfer, or add it later by message — same cars, same driver standards. Send both endpoints and the dates, and each pickup is confirmed in writing.
Ready to lock in your MIA pickup for the Plymouth South Beach Hotel? Message or call 786-682-8748 on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 with your flight number, arrival date, party size and any child-seat or pet notes, and the ride is confirmed in writing before you fly.
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.
Vinimos en grupo y queríamos a todos en un solo viaje privado desde el aeropuerto. El conductor era hablaba inglés y español sin problema, lo que hizo todo mucho más fácil. Sin fila de taxis, sin tarifas dinámicas — salimos y el auto ya estaba ahí. No pudo ser más fácil.
Mi esposo y yo no queríamos lidiar con el caos de taxis del aeropuerto, así que reservamos el viaje a the Plymouth South Beach Hotel. El van estaba limpio, fresco y cómodo, y el aire acondicionado perfecto. Nos recogieron puntual, en camino a los minutos de salir de arribos.
Como viajante independente, combinei a busca no aeroporto até the Plymouth South Beach Hotel com antecedência, e deixou a chegada fácil.
Mi pareja y yo reservamos un traslado privado del Aeropuerto de Miami a the Plymouth South Beach Hotel para no esperar un rideshare después del vuelo. Un comienzo tranquilo y fácil para los dos de vacaciones.
We landed at MIA with the kids worn out from the flight, and having a driver waiting was exactly what we needed. No taxi line, no rideshare surge — we just walked out and the car was ready.
