From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Pelican Hotel Miami Beach 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.
Offer us the flight number and the driver plans the pickup around the actual arrival. The greeting at the MIA arrivals curb is included; the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign is a $40 add-on. Bags go in, doors close, and the vehicle leaves for the destination without sharing the ride with anyone else.
Pelican Hotel Miami Beach sits in the heart of South Beach, one of the liveliest and most walkable corners of Miami Beach. The building stands close to the coast, so a stay here frequently begins just steps from the sand — simple to drop your bags and head straight out toward the water.
South Beach folds a lot into a few blocks. The Art Deco Historic District, with its pastel facades and rounded corners, wraps the neighborhood around the hotel, while the Ocean Drive cafe strip and the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall sit within a simple walk. You can spend a morning along the shore and an afternoon browsing shops and open-air restaurants without ever reaching for a car.
Once you have settled in, some of the region’s best-known spots are close at hand. Lummus Park Beach runs along the ocean nearby, the New World Center draws visitors for its concerts and green space, and Lincoln Road Mall keeps the walkable rhythm going with its rows of storefronts and terraces. Between the beach on one side and the Deco streets on the other, the hotel puts you in a spot where most of what defines South Beach is already within reach the moment you reach. It is the kind of location where you unpack once and let the neighborhood do the rest — an early swim, a slow coffee on Ocean Drive, or an evening stroll under the district’s neon.
Your ride begins the moment you step out of MIA. After you clear arrivals, the driver is already waiting at the curb, tracking your flight so the pickup lines up with your actual landing rather than a fixed clock. Your luggage goes into the vehicle, everyone climbs in, and you head out as one group — no waiting around for other passengers and no extra stops along the way.
From the airport, the route runs by the Dolphin Expressway and SR-836 Toll toward the coast, a straightforward stretch that keeps the trip seamless. Plan on roughly 24 to 29 minutes from MIA to the hotel, depending on the hour — off-peak traffic moves rapidly, while morning and late-afternoon rush push the drive toward the higher end. Either way, it is one direct ride to the door of Pelican Hotel Miami Beach.
