From $140 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Riptide Oceanfront Hotel 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.
Book with the flight number and the driver watches it land. Meet at the arrivals curb, where the greeting is part of the price, or choose the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign for an extra $40. The driver handles the luggage and heads straight out, no other passengers, no stops unless you add them.
Riptide Oceanfront Hotel sits along the shoreline in Hollywood, the beach town that fills the stretch between Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Its name says it plainly: this is an oceanfront address, so the water is a short walk or drive from the front door. Numerous travelers who reach during the day add a beach stop the same afternoon, since there is little standing between the hotel and the sand.
The setting is one of the simple pleasures of this part of Hollywood. The city is known for its brick Broadwalk, a broad oceanfront path that runs beside the beach and links casual spots for a meal, a coffee, or an evening stroll. Away from the water, downtown Hollywood centers on ArtsPark at Young Circle, a green gathering place with events and open space. Both offer you a reason to wander once you have dropped your bags.
Beyond the immediate blocks, the wider region keeps you close to more of what Hollywood is known for. The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino is within simple reach, and West Lake Park offers a quieter, greener counterpoint to the beach. It is a practical base, too: close enough to the ocean to feel like a vacation the moment you step outside, yet connected to the rest of the region for the trips you have planned. Whatever brings you to Riptide Oceanfront Hotel, you land in a spot where the shoreline, the Broadwalk, and the town itself are all within reach.
The trip begins the moment you land at Miami International Airport. Your driver tracks the flight, so the timing shifts with your actual arrival rather than a guessed schedule. Once you clear the terminal on the arrivals level, the driver meets you, helps with the luggage, and walks you to the vehicle. There is no line to join and no wondering where the car is waiting. From there it is one continuous ride north to Riptide Oceanfront Hotel, door to door, with your group as the only passengers.
Your bags ride with you the whole way. A private SUV carries up to five travelers with luggage, and the vans hold larger groups when you need the room. Everything is reserved ahead at a flat rate, so the price is settled before you travel and the driver already knows exactly where you are headed. If anything about your flight changes, the pickup is re-timed at no extra charge, and you step out to a car that is ready and waiting.
