From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Franklin Suites South Beach 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.
Franklin Suites South Beach sits at the southern tip of Miami Beach, the postcard stretch of the city where pastel Art Deco hotels line the streets and a wide public beach opens up just steps away. It is a compact, walkable pocket of South Beach, so once you check in you are already in the middle of the action rather than a drive away from it. The rooms, amenities, and check-in details belong to the property itself, and your ride merely delivers you to the door.
Step outside and the neighborhood does the rest. Ocean Drive and the Art Deco Historic District are close at hand, with Española Way and its pedestrian charm a short stroll in another direction. Lummus Park Beach stretches along the sand nearby, and the New World Center is also within simple reach for travelers who desire a taste of the region’s music and design. Everything here is built around walking, so plans can shift on a whim.
The water itself is only a short walk or drive from Franklin Suites South Beach, which is why so numerous arriving guests fold a beach stop into their very first day. You do not need to settle in and unpack before heading out. Between the ocean, the Art Deco facades, and the open-air cafes lining the blocks, the surroundings reward anyone who steps out the front door and merely follows the street toward the sand.
This is a door-to-door private transfer from Miami International Airport straight to Franklin Suites South Beach. Your driver meets you after you clear the terminal, so there is no queue to join and no wondering where the car is. Bags go into the vehicle at the curb, and from there it is a single leg along the Dolphin Expressway and SR-836 Toll, loaded and headed straight to the door. The whole car is reserved for your group, never shared with strangers.
Plan on roughly 23 to 28 minutes for the journey, quicker off-peak and slower during the morning and late-afternoon rush. Because traffic can push the drive toward the higher end, your driver watches your actual landing and re-times the pickup at no extra charge, so a delayed flight does not leave the car waiting or leave you scrambling to rebook. You ride at the flat rate set when you booked, with tolls and fuel already covered.
