From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to The Palms Inn and Suites Kendall Miami 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.
Your driver tracks the flight and adjusts to the real landing time, then meets you at the arrivals level of Miami International Airport. Curbside meet-and-greet is included; if you prefer to be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet choice for $40. Once the bags are in the vehicle, the ride is direct and door to door.
The Palms Inn and Suites Kendall Miami is a place to stay in the Kendall and South Miami-Dade region, set in the suburban stretch that spreads out southwest of the city. It gives travelers a base a little apart from the busy downtown core, with room to settle in and unwind after a flight before heading out to see what this side of the county has to offer.
The neighborhood grew up around Dadeland Mall and the Metrorail line, so shopping and transit sit close at hand. Pinecrest Gardens is a short reach away, and the Deering Estate falls within the same part of South Miami-Dade. Families frequently point toward Zoo Miami as well, which is also neighboring, making this address a practical starting point for a few days of getting around without a long haul back and forth each morning.
On arrival you locate a quieter, residential stretch rather than a beachfront strip, which suits guests who desire simple access to South Miami-Dade attractions while staying out of the thick of tourist traffic. For the particulars of the property itself — the rooms, the on-site amenities, and how check-in works — those details live on the hotel’s own official page, so you can confirm the specifics before your date. What matters for the ride is simple: the door is a fixed point, and your driver brings you straight to it.
The ride runs door to door. Book ahead and a private vehicle is set aside for your group, so once you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport your driver is already there, following the flight and ready to meet you. Bags go into the vehicle, everyone climbs in, and you head out together — no line to wait in, no second pickup to sort out along the way.
Plan on roughly 21 to 37 minutes from MIA to The Palms Inn and Suites Kendall Miami, with traffic the main thing that moves the number. Because the driver follows your arrival in real time, an early or late landing just shifts the pickup rather than undoing the booking. The whole car is yours for the journey, and you ride straight to the hotel door without a transfer or a stop you did not ask for.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
