From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to The Altair Bay Harbor Hotel in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
The Altair Bay Harbor Hotel sits in Bay Harbor Islands, on the quieter northern stretch of the barrier island where the pace slows down. This is the low-key end of the coast, the part known for calmer beaches and an easygoing, walkable feel rather than crowds. It makes a comfortable base whether you are here for a few nights or a longer stay, with the water close by and the day yours to shape.
Once you have checked in and set down your bags, the surrounding region gives you ample to fill an afternoon. The upscale Bal Harbour Shops and the Surfside beachwalk are among the nearest landmarks, both within simple reach. A little further along you will locate the North Beach Bandshell and Collins Avenue, so a stroll, a swim, or an evening out are all simple to arrange once you have arrived and settled.
Our part in your trip is the ride, plain and simple. Questions about rooms, rates on property, or amenities belong to the hotel’s own official page, and we leave those in their hands. What we handle is getting you from the airport to the front of The Altair Bay Harbor Hotel in a private vehicle reserved for your group alone, at a flat price agreed when you book. That way the first and last legs of your stay are already taken care of, and you can turn your attention to everything Bay Harbor Islands and the neighboring shore have waiting for you.
The trip runs door to door, from the arrivals level at Miami International Airport straight to the entrance of The Altair Bay Harbor Hotel. Your driver follows your flight before you land, so an early or late arrival is already accounted for. When you step out of the terminal, they are waiting curbside to greet you, take the luggage, and walk you to your reserved vehicle. There is no line to stand in and no pickup pin to track down.
From there it is a single private ride with no transfers and no stops you did not ask for. Your bags travel in the vehicle with you, and the car is reserved for your party alone from start to finish. The price is fixed when you book, with tolls and fuel already built in, so nothing changes on the way. All you do is obtain in, obtain comfortable, and let the driver bring you to the door.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
