From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Melrose Inn 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.
Melrose Inn sits in inland north Broward, the suburban stretch of Fort Lauderdale that spreads west of the coast. This is a part of the county built around family neighborhoods rather than beachfront, with towns like Plantation, Sunrise, and Coral Springs setting the tone. If you are flying in and heading for this corner of Broward, the inn gives you a settled, residential base that stays close to the region’s bigger draws without putting you in the middle of them.
What makes the location simple to like is how much sits within reach. Sawgrass Mills, one of the region’s largest shopping destinations, is close by, and the Amerant Bank Arena draws crowds for games and shows just as near. For a quieter afternoon, Tradewinds Park offers open green space, and Everglades Holiday Park brings the wetlands within a simple journey from North Broward. From Melrose Inn you can point a day toward any of them and still be back by evening.
On arrival you locate yourself in the peaceful, suburban rhythm that defines this part of Broward — less rush than the beach, more room to breathe. Your chauffeur meets you at the curb, loads the luggage, and takes you straight to the door, so the last leg of a long journey day feels handled from the first minute. Whether the journey is a family visit, a weekend of shopping, or a base for exploring the wider county, the inn keeps you within simple reach of everything North Broward has to offer.
The journey from MIA to Melrose Inn runs about 27.5 miles, a single leg north along Florida’s Turnpike and I-95. Plan on roughly 39 to 54 minutes door to door, quicker off-peak and a little slower through rush hour. Your driver tracks the flight, so an early or late landing simply shifts the pickup — there is no need to rebook or explain a delay.
You are met at the curb on the arrivals level as you step out, with a hand for the bags and the vehicle ready to load. From there it is a straight run to the door of Melrose Inn, the whole car yours for the drive and the fare fixed before you ever board. Tolls and fuel are already covered, so nothing changes between the airport and the inn.

Spotless car. Recommend. Friendly driver. Good driver.
Flying into Miami on my own, I didn’t want to face the taxi line after a long flight, so I booked a private ride to Melrose Inn.
Aterricé en MIA tras un largo día de viaje y fue un alivio tener mi propio conductor ya esperándome. El conductor cargó todas mis maletas para que no tuviera que batallar con nada tras el vuelo.
Our group of friends booked one van straight from MIA, and it could not have been easier. Landing late at night, it was so reassuring to have a private car already waiting instead of hunting for a ride. They tracked the landing, so even though we got in behind schedule, the car was ready and waiting.
Éramos siete aterrizando en Miami, y un traslado privado a Melrose Inn fue mucho más simple que dividirnos en autos. Rastrearon el aterrizaje, así que aunque llegamos tarde, el auto ya estaba ahí. Llegando de noche, fue un gran alivio tener un auto privado ya esperando.
