From $110 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from MIA to Kendall West — flat rate, door to door, one bilingual driver.
One flat price per vehicle is set the moment you book and holds for the whole group, whatever traffic does that day.
Pickup is curbside at Miami International, with the driver in the arrivals lane as you step out carrying your bags — no app to open, no line to join. The night before journey, a text lands with the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and the plate, plus the exact spot to look for at the curb. Favor to be met inside the terminal with a name sign? That in-terminal greeting is a $40 add-on, while the typical curbside meet costs nothing. Your inbound flight is tracked in real time, so an early landing or a slow carousel changes nothing about who is waiting.
Kendall West is a residential, census-designated community on the southwest side of Miami-Dade — row on row of quiet family homes, low-rise apartment blocks, and workaday shopping plazas rather than a tourist strip. Supermarkets, schools, casual restaurants, and neighborhood parks line the main avenues, and the pace runs calmer than the coastal districts nearer the water. Most arrivals come to visit family, attend an event, or settle near the western edge of the metro before moving on. The Census Bureau profile for Kendall West lays out the population and housing picture, and the ride ends at any street address, apartment building, or business door you name.
The distance is 18.6 miles (30.0 km), covered in roughly 36 minutes when the roads are clear and stretching toward 36 minutes at the morning and evening peaks — so the realistic spread is 31 to 45 minutes from curb to curb. Nearly the whole journey runs on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) heading west out of the airport, a single toll corridor with no awkward changes. Because that toll is folded into the fare and the driver already has an eye on your flight, a late touchdown or a slow bag belt never moves the price or leaves anyone stranded. Share a target time on WhatsApp if an onward plan is tight, and the pickup is built backward from it.
The full fare is due at booking to hold your ride. The price is charged per vehicle, never per head, so two passengers or a full van of fourteen ride for the single figure listed above. A round journey is that one-way figure doubled, with the return pickup scheduled for whatever date suits. Payment goes through the secure checkout on the site (card or Apple Pay) or a Stripe payment link on WhatsApp.
The name covers a belt of west-county communities, and the variants carrying an extra word sit on entirely separate streets. Nobody should have to guess the right one from the label alone. Send the full numbered street address with its ZIP code and the community name in one message, and the destination is locked from the start.
