From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel – Miami Airport in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
Give us the flight number and the driver plans the pickup around the actual arrival. The greeting at the MIA arrivals curb is included; the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign is a $40 add-on. Bags go in, doors close, and the vehicle leaves for the destination without sharing the ride with anyone else.
The Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel sits close to Miami International Airport, on the north side of the terminals in the Hialeah area. That short gap between the runway and the front desk is what makes it a simple landing spot: you clear arrivals, meet your driver, and reach the property in a single ride of roughly 10.8 miles. For anyone arriving late, connecting the next morning, or simply wanting a bed near the gates, its position keeps the first and last legs of a journey short.
The hotel belongs to Hialeah, one of Florida’s largest cities and a place with a strong, close-knit Cuban-American character. Just north of the airport, the neighborhood carries its own rhythm, and the well-known Hialeah Park Racing & Casino sits among its landmarks. Staying here puts you in a working, lived-in part of greater Miami rather than a tourist strip, with local food and everyday city life a short distance from the door.
Once you have checked in and set down your bags, several green spaces and gathering points are within simple reach. Amelia Earhart Park is one of the closer landmarks, along with Milander Park, and the Palmetto Expressway runs nearby to carry you toward the rest of the region. Questions about rooms, rates, and on-site amenities belong to the hotel’s own front desk; our part is getting you there. What we handle is the door-to-door arrival, so the hotel becomes the first simple stop after a long flight.
The ride begins the moment you step out of the terminal. Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time, so an early or delayed landing is already accounted for, and is waiting curbside as you exit, with no queue and no searching for the car. Your bags go straight into a private vehicle reserved for your party alone, and you settle in for one direct journey from MIA to the Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel.
From the airport the route runs by way of the Palmetto Expressway and SR-826, covering about 10.8 miles. Off-peak that drive tends toward the quicker end, while morning and late-afternoon traffic pushes it longer, so plan on roughly 19 to 31 minutes door to door. Tolls and fuel are already built into the flat fare, which means there is nothing to settle on the road, just a steady, reserved ride to the front of the hotel.
