From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Strand Ocean Drive Suites in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
Strand Ocean Drive Suites sits at the southern tip of Miami Beach, the postcard version of the city, where pastel Art Deco hotels line the streets and Ocean Drive runs alongside a broad public beach. It is the corner of town most visitors picture first, and stepping out the door puts you right in the middle of it.
From the suites, the water is only a short walk or drive, so many travelers add a beach stop the same day they reach. The neighborhood packs a lot into a small footprint: Española Way is close by, Lummus Park Beach fronts the sand, and Lincoln Road Mall gives you an open-air stretch of shops and cafes. The New World Center rounds out what sits within simple reach of this part of the city, so you can settle in and start exploring on foot soon after you drop your bags.
Because everything here clusters together, Strand Ocean Drive Suites makes a simple base for the beach, a meal, or an evening walk along Ocean Drive. Room and amenity questions belong to the property’s own official page; the transfer side is ours. What we take care of is the ride in, delivered to the front of the suites so your first steps in the neighborhood are the ones you came for. The suites keep you close to the sand and the sidewalk life at once, which is a large part of why this pocket of the city stays so hectic year-round.
The ride begins the moment you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport. Your driver is already waiting on the arrivals level, tracking your flight so an early or late landing merely shifts the pickup, and meets you at the curb rather than a distant lot. There is no line to join and no fare to watch climb; the car is reserved for your party alone and heads straight to Strand Ocean Drive Suites.
Luggage goes in the vehicle with you, and the driver helps load it before you set off. Plan on roughly 25 to 30 minutes for the journey, quicker off-peak and slower at rush hour, with traffic the only real variable. You are dropped at the front of the suites, bags and all, ready to check in.
