From $150 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Tides Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
Tides Inn sits in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a small beach town on the South Florida coast. The shoreline is close, so a stay here frequently begins just steps from the sand — you can drop your bags, change, and be walking the beach within minutes of settling in. That simple proximity to the water is the whole appeal, and it shapes how most guests spend their days: near the ocean, on foot, with little need to drive anywhere once they have arrived.
The surrounding town keeps things within reach. Anglin’s Fishing Pier, a historic local landmark, is a short outing, and the streets nearby — Datura Avenue among them — carry the low-key, walkable feel that Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is known for. El Prado Park gives you a green spot to slow down, and the shore-dive reef just off the beach is one of the reasons visitors return year after year.
That reef is the town’s signature. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is renowned for shore diving straight off the sand, so snorkelers and divers can wade in from the beach rather than boarding a boat. Arriving at Tides Inn, you land in a compact, coastal setting where the ocean, the pier, and a handful of quiet parks are all part of the same short stretch. It is the kind of place where unpacking and heading straight out feels natural, and where much of what you came for is waiting a few steps from the door.
The ride from Miami International Airport to Tides Inn is a single, direct journey. Your driver meets you curbside as you come out of arrivals, helps with the bags, and loads them into the vehicle, so everything you traveled with stays in one car from the airport to the door of your stay. There is no transfer along the way and no stop you did not ask for — just one private vehicle carrying your group toward the coast.
Because the driver tracks your inbound flight, an early or late landing simply shifts the pickup to match, at no extra charge. You do not need to rush or coordinate anything once you are on the ground; the car is arranged for your actual arrival time. When you reach Tides Inn, the driver brings you right to the entrance and helps with the luggage again, so the last stretch is as simple as the first.
