From $110 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to the Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Beach Surfside, flat rate door to door.
Each figure below is the whole-vehicle price for your party, pinned the moment you reserve and already carrying the fuel and the tolls — no per-head math, and no surge when the roads fill.
Your driver waits at the curb just outside your arrival terminal, already in place because the inbound flight is followed in real time — land early or late and the meeting shifts to match. Walk out with the bags, confirm where you are headed, and the car pulls off toward the coast with no stops slipped in along the way. That curbside meet and greet is part of the fare; should you favor to be met inside the terminal by a driver holding a board with your name, that name-sign pickup is a $40 option arranged at booking.
The drive is short on turns. Out of the terminal loop the car joins the Airport Expressway, SR-112, the brief connector tying the MIA roadways into I-95, then heads north on the interstate for most of the run before bending east toward the Surfside oceanfront. Two highways and a single merge cover nearly the whole 11.1-mile map, which is a large part of why the timing barely moves from one day to the next.
Count on roughly 31 minutes when the lanes are open and about 33 when they clog — that 11.1-mile journey, 17.8 kilometers door to door, hardly stretches between quiet and hectic hours, because the I-95 corridor keeps flowing even under load. Commuter surges at morning and late afternoon, plus weekend beach traffic, explain the couple of extra minutes at the top end. With the fare locked, a slow crawl never touches the total, and no meter counts the delay.
The Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Beach Surfside occupies a low-key beachside town, set north of the busier stretches of Miami Beach and just below Bal Harbour. This is an all-suite, extended-stay hotel, so every room has a full kitchen — which is why families and week-long visits gravitate to it. Around the building the pace stays walkable and easy: a broad Atlantic beach a step away, unfussy cafes and coffee counters, and the high-end Bal Harbour Shops a couple of minutes off. Peaceful blocks and swift sand access take the place of nightlife noise, and that trade is precisely what steers numerous travelers to Surfside over South Beach. Before you land, look over the property’s room and suite overview and a rundown of things to do nearby.
By the car, not the seat. Two people in the SUV or fourteen packed into the large van pay the same — the whole group travels on the single flat rate listed above. That per-vehicle setup is what turns a private ride into real value once a family or group splits one figure.
Yes. The same private vehicle runs the journey in reverse, from the Residence Inn back to Miami International for your departure. Reserve both legs at once and a single driver plus one locked fare cover the round journey, with the return merely doubling the one-way price.
