From $89 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from MIA to the Kimpton EPIC Hotel — roughly 15–25 minutes into downtown Miami.
The price is set per vehicle and fixed the moment you reserve — never divided by head, never moved by the hour or the crowd.
Add your flight number to the booking and the driver follows the inbound in real time. When you clear the terminal and reach the curb with your luggage, the car is already there — no app to open, no rideshare line, no standing around while a car is assigned. A curbside greeting comes with every booking; if you would rather be met holding a name sign as you step out, add that for $40. From the pickup lane the driver heads onto the mainland and turns toward downtown, so the run to the Kimpton EPIC Hotel begins as soon as the bags are in.
The Kimpton EPIC Hotel occupies the spot where the Miami River meets Biscayne Bay, dead center in downtown Miami. The waterfront setting sets you beside the financial towers, riverside dining, and a compact marina, with the business district’s buzz just outside the lobby. Brickell — rooftop bars, shopping, late tables — is a short walk or a swift hop across the bridge, and the bayfront arena and museums are close by. One thing to obtain right at booking: the address is 270 Biscayne Boulevard Way, a brief riverside street off the southern tip of the boulevard rather than Biscayne Boulevard itself, so writing out “Way” keeps the map pin from sliding a few blocks north. Rooms and rates are laid out on the hotel’s own website and the IHG property page before you go.
From the MIA curb to the EPIC’s front door is 7.3 miles, about 11.7 km, and normal traffic runs it in roughly 15 to 25 minutes. The usual line is the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) toward downtown, with I-95 as an alternate the driver may take depending on the hour. In the early morning or mid-evening you land at the short end of that variety; through the downtown rush, traffic near Biscayne Boulevard edges the number toward 25. The one variable is the Brickell Avenue drawbridge beside the hotel, which swings up for river traffic and can hold the neighboring streets for a couple of minutes before dropping back. Your driver reads the conditions and takes the cleanest line to the entrance, so even a hectic afternoon stays close to the estimate.
Yes. Rides start at MIA or PortMiami, and from there the driver can take you on to a distinct airport, a cruise terminal, or another South Florida town. Book that leg on its own, or pair it with the return of a round-journey reservation, and a private vehicle sized to your group and bags is assigned.
