From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Normandy Boutique Hostel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Your driver tracks the flight and adjusts to the real landing time, then meets you at the arrivals level of Miami International Airport. Curbside meet-and-greet is included; if you prefer to be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet option for $40. Once the bags are in the vehicle, the ride is direct and door to door.
Normandy Boutique Hostel sits in North Beach, the quiet northern reach of the long barrier island that runs up along Miami’s coast. Together with neighboring Surfside and Bal Harbour, this end of the island trades the crowds of the busier southern strips for calmer beaches and an unhurried, residential feel. It is a place built around the water rather than the nightlife, which makes it an easy base for a journey centered on sand and sun.
Because the coast lies so close here, a stay often begins just steps from the ocean. That nearness is part of the draw: you can set down your bags, change, and be walking toward the water within minutes of arriving. The mood stays low-key and relaxed throughout, so checking in tends to feel less like a chore and more like the start of the journey proper. That easygoing pace is really the point of choosing this corner of the island over the livelier neighborhoods to the south.
The surroundings give you ample to reach on foot or with a short hop. The upscale Bal Harbour Shops sit neighboring, and the Surfside beachwalk makes for an easy stroll along the shore. For music and open green space, the North Beach Bandshell and Haulover Park both fall within relaxing reach of this stretch of North Beach. Taken together, it is a location that feels tucked away and still well connected to the north island’s better-known stops.
The ride runs as a single, direct leg from the airport curb to Normandy Boutique Hostel. Your driver meets you as you come out to arrivals, helps load the luggage into the vehicle, and heads straight for North Beach — no shared stops, no waiting around. The route follows Northwest 79th Street and SR-934 the whole way, covering about 12.1 miles.
Anticipate somewhere around 24 to 26 minutes for the journey, shaped by the traffic that day. In quiet stretches the road moves rapidly and you reach at the faster end; in busier stretches, the morning and afternoon peaks stretch it toward the slower end. Because the pickup is timed to your actual landing, an early or delayed flight only shifts when the driver arrives — the vehicle stays held for your group either way.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
