From $145 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Driftwood Beach Club 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.
The driver monitors the flight and is at the arrivals level when you walk out, with the curbside meet-and-greet already covered by the fare. Travelers who desire the Meet & Greet, a name sign inside the terminal, can add it for $40. Luggage is loaded by the driver and the ride runs private, door to door.
Driftwood Beach Club sits in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a small beach town that has kept the easygoing pace numerous stretches of the South Florida coast have traded away. The draw here is the water itself: this is one of the rare places where you can walk off the sand and start shore diving in a matter of steps, with a living reef close enough that you do not require a boat to reach it. The town wraps that natural asset in low-rise streets, an unhurried mood, and a shoreline that stays the center of daily life.
Step out from Driftwood Beach Club and the landmarks that define the town are all within simple reach. The historic Anglin’s Fishing Pier stretches out over the surf and anchors the beachfront, a gathering spot for anglers and walkers alike. Datura Avenue runs nearby with its clutch of local storefronts, while the shore-dive reef and El Prado Park round out the short list of places you can reach on foot rather than by car.
For anything about the property itself — the rooms, the amenities, check-in details — Driftwood Beach Club’s own official page is the place to confirm the specifics, and we leave those to the source. What matters for your arrival is that the club plants you right in the heart of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea: sand, pier, reef, and quiet streets, all a few minutes from your door. It is a compact, walkable base for a beach-first stay, and the kind of place where the day tends to start and end at the water’s edge.
Your journey is a private, door-to-door transfer. When you land at Miami International Airport, your chauffeured vehicle is already waiting — the driver tracks your flight, so an early or delayed arrival merely shifts the pickup with no scramble on your end. There is no queue to join and no wondering where the car is. The driver meets you as you come out, takes the bags, and walks you to the vehicle, which is reserved for your party alone from the airport all the way to the door of Driftwood Beach Club.
From MIA the route runs north up I-95, and you settle in while the driver handles the road. Plan on roughly 55 to 68 minutes to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, depending on traffic — off-peak the highway moves rapidly, while the morning and late-afternoon rush pushes the drive toward the longer end. Your luggage rides with you the whole way, and the fare is fixed before you go, so nothing changes en route.
