From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to JLK Lodge 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.
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.
JLK Lodge is a private place to stay set within the Miami area, chosen by travelers who want a calm base rather than the noise of the city center. It keeps things simple and unhurried, the kind of address you settle into after a long flight and a longer week. Rooms sit away from the busy core, so the pace slows the moment you arrive and the surrounding quiet does most of the work.
The lodge sits toward the southern reach of the Miami area, where the built-up streets give way to open ground and wide sky. That position makes it a natural starting point for the outdoors: the Everglades spread out to the west, and Biscayne Bay and its national park lie to the east. If your trip is built around water, trails, or long drives into green country, the location does a lot of the planning for you.
On arrival you find yourself close to some of the region’s best-known open spaces, with Everglades National Park and Biscayne National Park both within reach. The Deering Estate sits nearby as well, its historic grounds and bayfront trails an easy addition to any itinerary. It is a restful spot with swift access to the wilder, greener edges of the Miami area — a base that trades crowds for air and room to breathe.
Once you land at MIA and clear the terminal, your driver is already waiting on the arrivals level, name in hand, ready to take your bags. There is no line to join and no app to open — you walk straight to a vehicle reserved only for your group. Luggage goes in the back, everyone settles in, and the trip to JLK Lodge runs door to door with no stops you did not ask for.
From the airport the drive to the lodge usually takes 27 to 51 minutes, depending on the time of day and how the roads are moving. If your flight is early or late, the pickup shifts with it, so a delay merely moves your driver’s timing rather than costing you the ride. You arrive at the door of JLK Lodge, bags carried up, ready to start your stay.
