From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Fairwind Hotel Miami in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full journey one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
The pickup follows the flight, not the schedule you booked weeks ago, so an early landing or a late one changes only the meeting time. You are met at MIA arrivals with the greeting included in the fare, and the Meet & Greet inside the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40 more. From there it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Fairwind Hotel Miami sits near the southern tip of the city, in the heart of South Beach — the postcard version of Miami, where pastel Art Deco hotels line the streets and a broad public beach opens just past Ocean Drive. From the hotel, most of what draws visitors here is close enough to reach on foot: Ocean Drive itself, the palm-lined pedestrian stretch of Española Way, and the sand only a short walk away.
Step outside and the neighborhood does most of the work. The Art Deco Historic District wraps the surrounding blocks in its signature 1930s color and curves, and Lincoln Road Mall — an open-air run of shops and cafes — sits within simple reach. The New World Center and Lummus Park Beach are neighboring as well, so a morning by the water and an afternoon among the shops fit into the same day without a car.
What makes this address simple is how much stays within walking distance once you arrive. The water is a short walk or drive, and many travelers add a beach stop the same day they land. After a long flight, having the sand, the shops, and the Art Deco streets clustered around the hotel means the journey really starts the moment the driver sets you down at the door — no second leg to arrange, nothing else to book. Fairwind Hotel Miami works as a base for exactly the version of Miami most people picture before they obtain on the plane.
The ride from Miami International Airport to Fairwind Hotel Miami is a single private run, door to door, commonly 24 to 28 minutes depending on traffic. Your driver takes the Dolphin Expressway and SR-836 while you settle in — no transfer partway, no stop you did not ask for, just one reserved car from the arrivals level to the hotel entrance.
The pickup is timed to when you actually land, so a delayed flight merely moves the whole pickup rather than costing you the ride. Your driver is waiting in the terminal region as you come out, helps with the bags, and walks you to the vehicle — one checked bag plus a carry-on per passenger, with the vans holding more when the group is larger. Off-peak the drive runs quicker; rush hour on the expressway is the slower end.

Mi esposa y yo no queríamos lidiar con el caos de taxis del aeropuerto, así que coordinamos el viaje a Fairwind Hotel Miami. Siguieron el vuelo, así que aunque llegamos tarde, el auto estaba listo.
A few friends and I flew into MIA and booked one private van from the airport to Fairwind Hotel Miami. The driver was in a sharp, clean car, which made it feel first-class. The fare was fixed and agreed up front — no meter, no surprises, which we really appreciated after traveling. Highly recommend.
Our family of four came into MIA, and the driver had the child seat ready — such a help. The driver was happy to speak English or Spanish, which made sorting out the details that much easier.
