From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Sunset Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
The driver monitors the flight and is at the arrivals level when you walk out, with the curbside meet-and-greet already covered by the fare. Travelers who desire the Meet & Greet, a name sign inside the terminal, can add it for $40. Luggage is loaded by the driver and the ride runs private, door to door.
Sunset Inn sits in the Kendall and South Miami-Dade area, a settled suburban stretch southwest of the city. This is a part of Miami that runs at its own pace, built around broad residential streets and simple local errands rather than the rush of downtown. When you arrive, you are close to the shops and everyday comforts that keep a stay simple, with the Metrorail line threading through the district for anyone who wants to discover further without a car.
The neighborhood centers on Dadeland Mall, one of the larger retail anchors in South Florida, so dining and shopping are never far from the door. Green spaces are part of the appeal here too. Pinecrest Gardens is close by, a quiet botanical spot that draws families and anyone looking for shade and calm, and the Deering Estate rounds out the area with its historic grounds along the bay. Zoo Miami is also within simple reach, which makes this a practical base for a family trip.
What you locate on arrival is a district that feels lived-in and unhurried, more residential than touristy. That suits travelers who desire a comfortable spot to rest between plans, with the wider attractions of Miami still a simple drive away. For details on the property and your room, Sunset Inn keeps its own official page; our part is getting you to the door with the ride sorted in advance so the arrival is one less thing to think about.
From the arrivals level at Miami International Airport, the trip to Sunset Inn runs about 11.8 miles and takes roughly 19 to 29 minutes, depending on traffic. Your driver follows the flight and is ready when you step out of the terminal, so there is no queue and no wondering where the car is. Once your bags are loaded, it is a single leg along the Palmetto Expressway and SR-826, straight toward Kendall and South Miami-Dade.
The route is direct and the car is yours alone, reserved only for your group. The driver meets you after you exit, helps with the luggage, and walks you to the vehicle. Traffic on the Palmetto and SR-826 is the one real variable in the timing, but because your arrival is tracked, an early or late landing is handled without a new booking. You settle into one reserved car at a flat price and arrive at the door with the details already taken care of.
