From $385 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from MIA to Verandah on Florida’s Gulf Coast — the whole vehicle yours, flat rate.
One figure covers the whole vehicle and everyone riding in it, fixed the moment you book and held no matter what traffic does. Choose the size that fits your party:
Pickup begins the moment you land. The driver follows your inbound flight and is already waiting at the curb as you walk out of the terminal, so there is no app to open and no line to stand in. The day before journey you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and the plate number, plus plain directions to the meeting point. Waiting time is included — two hours after an international landing, one hour after a domestic one — which leaves room for slow customs or a late bag. Would you rather be met inside the building with a name sign? That is an optional add-on layered onto the standard curbside meet-and-greet.
The route runs about 157 miles — roughly 252.7 kilometers — with the driver holding I-75 north for almost the whole way. Count on close to 147 minutes when the roads are clear and up to 162 minutes when they are not, a spread of about fifteen minutes that comes mainly from the slow crawl out of the Miami metro before the interstate opens up. Since it is a long haul, a single short stop for a restroom or a coffee can be folded into the drive if your group wants one — just say so. The flat rate never shifts with the clock, so a busy afternoon costs exactly what a calm morning does.
Verandah sits on the Gulf-Coast side of Florida, the direction I-75 carries you once the Miami sprawl falls away. It reads as a calm, resort-style pocket of the southwest coast: landscaped grounds, wide green space, water views, and the unhurried tempo people journey here to find. Guests come for a golf weekend, a long family stay, or simply a quieter break from the city. The driver delivers you to the exact address you give — a home, a rental, or lodging anywhere in the surrounding area — lifts out the bags, and settles any return timing before pulling away. No particular property is endorsed; you name the door, and that is where the ride ends.
The price on the screen carries the private vehicle, the driver, and every toll, SunPass charge, and gallon of fuel along the way — nothing on the road is billed on top. A bilingual driver runs the route, speaking English and Spanish, tracks the flight, and handles the luggage at both ends. Onboard WiFi comes from a mobile hotspot, and the standard baggage allowance is one checked bag and one carry-on for each passenger; oversized or extra pieces fit easily when you flag them in advance. Flight tracking and the re-timed pickup for an early or late landing are part of the ride rather than an upsell. Food, drinks, and the driver’s gratuity fall outside the fare.
Yes. Put both legs on a single booking and the round trip costs twice the one-way fare, with the same vehicle class covering each direction. Give the arrival flight along with the return date and time, and the pickup for the return leg is set to line up. The full fare for the Miami-side pickup is paid at booking.

Every policy in full: FAQ
We flew into Miami with the kids tired after the flight to stay in Verandah, and having a driver waiting was exactly what we needed. The driver handled the luggage so we didn’t have to lift a thing. Landing late at night into Verandah, it was a huge comfort to have a private car already waiting instead of a taxi gamble.
We came with a group of friends and wanted all of us in one ride from the airport to Verandah.
I was in town to see family in Verandah and didn’t want the rideshare-surge scramble at MIA, so I pre-booked a private car. Booking was easy, I got a clear pickup instruction the night before, and everything went exactly as planned. They tracked the arrival, so even though I landed behind schedule, the car was right there.
After a red-eye, the last thing we wanted was to hunt for a car out to Verandah — so glad we pre-arranged the transfer. We were in town to visit relatives in Verandah, and starting the trip this easy was great.
Our group of friends booked one van straight from the airport to Verandah, and it was so easy. Honestly the easiest part of our whole trip — everything was handled from the second we landed. We got dropped at the door of where we were staying, not left at some corner.
