From $110 per vehicle: a flat-rate private one-way ride from MIA to Westwood Lakes, door to door.
Fares are set per vehicle for the whole group and stay fixed from the moment you book, so heavy traffic or peak demand never moves the number.
A meet-and-greet at the arrivals curb comes with every booking. Your driver follows the inbound flight in real time, so the pickup slides to match an early touchdown or a delay at no extra cost. Clear customs and baggage claim, step outside, and the reserved vehicle is already waiting at the curb — no rideshare lot to hunt through, no app to open. Would you rather be met inside the terminal with a printed name sign? That in-terminal pickup is an optional add-on of $40, arranged when you reserve.
Plan on roughly 28 minutes when the roads are quiet and up to about 33 minutes once rush-hour volume builds. The journey covers 12.8 miles (20.6 km), leaving Miami International Airport and heading west along the Dolphin Expressway — the SR-836 toll road — before easing into the residential streets of Westwood Lakes. Early mornings, late evenings, and mid-day lulls keep the drive near that 20-minute floor; weekday peaks and big-event days can tack a dozen minutes onto the expressway stretch. Since the fare is locked at booking, a slower crawl in traffic never adds a cent to what you pay.
Westwood Lakes is a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood in unincorporated west Miami-Dade, its name drawn from the small lakes threaded between blocks of single-family homes. This is a suburban pocket well away from the tourist crowds: tree-lined streets, community green space, and swift access to the highway corridors that tie it back to greater Miami. Rather than beaches or nightlife, the pocket runs to small parks, corner shopping plazas, and the everyday services a residential area needs, which makes it a peaceful base for people visiting relatives, relocating, or working neighboring. Lodging tends to sit in the adjacent Doral and Sweetwater areas or in the airport district to the east. For community details, see the local neighborhood association.
The quoted price carries the whole journey: the private vehicle, a bilingual driver, every toll and SunPass charge, fuel, and onboard WiFi over a mobile hotspot. The luggage allowance is one checked bag and one carry-on for each passenger; if bags are oversized or you are hauling extra, a swift WhatsApp message ahead of time confirms the room or moves you to a larger van. Only time beyond one included stop of up to 30 minutes sits outside the base fare. The curbside meet-and-greet, by contrast, is already folded into the ride.
No. The ride is booked for your party alone — no strangers in the seats, no pooled passengers, no side stops to collect anyone else. From the airport curb to your front door, the Black SUV or van stays reserved for your group across the full one-way journey.
Yes. The same private service runs from Westwood Lakes back to Miami International Airport, and onward to PortMiami or other South Florida points when you require it. Airport pickups themselves stage from MIA or PortMiami, so offer the return address at booking and the vehicle, driver, and pickup time are set for each leg.
