From $89 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from MIA to the Setai Hotel, Miami Beach, door to door at a flat rate.
The number below is the flat total for the whole vehicle, one way from the airport, whatever the size of your party.
Once you clear customs and collect your bags, the driver is already waiting at the arrivals curb. Drop the airline and terminal into the booking, and the exact pickup door reaches you by message before you step outside. The flight is followed live, so an early touchdown or a slow line at immigration just moves the pickup to match, with nothing to sort out on your side. A curbside greeting comes with every journey; favor to be met inside the hall with a name sign held for you, and that placard pickup adds $40.
The Setai fronts the Atlantic along Collins Avenue, right at the center of South Beach. It began as an Art Deco landmark and was reworked into an Asian-inspired retreat, known for quiet courtyards, oceanfront pools, and understated dining. Step out of the car and the sand is on one side while restored pastel facades line the other; Ocean Drive, the Art Deco Historic District, and the shops of Lincoln Road all sit within a simple walk. Look over the rooms and restaurants on the Setai’s official website, or read its listing at Leading Hotels of the World. The drop-off lands at the front entrance, where the hotel staff take the luggage from there.
The distance is short for an airport run: 11.1 miles, or 17.8 kilometers, from the terminal to the hotel door. Most of it follows the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) before crossing to Miami Beach, so a clear stretch takes about 26 minutes and a heavier one edges toward 33. That narrow gap is the payoff of a private, direct line — no shared stops and no detours stretch it out. The driver reads the traffic before leaving for MIA and reshapes the approach into the beach if an event or a closure blocks the usual way.
The rate is charged per vehicle for the whole group, never per head. The full fare is paid when you reserve. Card or Apple Pay — through the secure checkout on the site or a Stripe payment link over WhatsApp — covers the payment. Traveling both ways? A round journey is priced as double the one-way fare, with both legs arranged inside a single booking.
Yes — the same vehicles handle the journey in reverse. On departure day the driver collects you at the Setai entrance at the hour you set, leaving a relaxed cushion for check-in. Book the return alongside the arrival, or arrange it later with a swift message.
Yes — the sand sits directly across from the property, and Ocean Drive, Lincoln Road, and the Art Deco District are each a short stroll away. Most evenings around the Setai ask for no car at all once you have checked in.
