Private door-to-door ride from MIA to Extended Stay America Doral, 8.8 miles in 19 to 26 minutes on the Dolphin Expressway, fixed from $80 per vehicle.
Prices are flat, one per vehicle, and fixed the instant you reserve — the single choice left to you is the vehicle size for your group.
Every party size is handled by one of three private tiers. Go by how many are riding and how much they carry; the driver double-checks the fit.
Your driver waits at the curb on the arrivals deck, just outside the terminal door, in place before you reach it with the bags. This curbside meet is the version priced into the fare, so clearing baggage claim leaves only a short walk to the car — no app to open, no stand to track down.
Yes. Live tracking on the inbound flight means an early touchdown or a long delay just resets the curbside meet — free of charge. There is no re-booking and no late-aircraft surge; the fixed fare and the pickup time both bend to when you actually land.
A private transfer strips the complication out of this leg. Reserve a vehicle for your group’s size, share the flight details and a pickup time, and someone greets you on arrival — no rideshare queue, no bus changes, no reading a map with a case in either hand. Parties of five or fewer go by Black SUV with standard bags; six to nine ride a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van; ten to fourteen take the bigger Sprinter. Arrange it by WhatsApp with the arrival date, the terminal, the number traveling, and any wrinkle such as oversized bags or a child seat, and back comes the vehicle plus the pickup plan. Come the day, immigration and the belts behind you, you step out to the arrivals curb to find the driver and the car waiting — luggage loaded, doors shut, and off westbound to Doral.
Figure roughly 19 minutes when roads are clear, up to 26 at the worst. The westbound 8.8-mile (14.2 km) hop into Doral is not long, yet a placid mid-morning and a clogged evening genuinely part ways. In the off-peak stretches — mid-morning, early afternoon, late evening — traffic on the expressway runs smoothly and you reach 87th Avenue in under twenty minutes. Come the weekday morning and evening surge, that corridor stiffens and the door-to-door number creeps higher; rain or event traffic around the airport district can add a little on top. None of that shifts your price, locked ahead of time, so a slow crawl costs only minutes. We pad the timing for the windows we know run heavy, and the meet is set to your real landing rather than an estimate, which keeps a sluggish drive from turning into a missed pickup at the curb.
The standard is one checked bag plus one carry-on for each traveler, and the driver handles the loading. Anything extra or oversized is easily sorted — a WhatsApp message ahead lets us confirm the space or bump you to a bigger Sprinter van. A group of five with normal luggage rides the SUV without strain; larger groups take a van.
A small pet may come along given advance word on WhatsApp and a carrier for the trip. Families get their first seat free for any child under five, with each seat after that costing a small confirmed fee at booking. Note the ages and the number when you reserve, and the vehicle is set up to suit.
MIA runs its terminal roads on two levels — departures overhead, arrivals below — and every pickup on this service is on that lower arrivals deck. A minor tip too: those loose luggage carts by the claim belts are paid rentals, not a freebie, and the walk from belt to curb is short enough that most arriving groups do without.
A single figure covers the entire vehicle and the routine costs of operating it. The gantry charges — tolls, SunPass, fuel — are all inside the price, so nothing is collected en route. Mobile-hotspot WiFi is aboard, useful for clearing email or working on the way into Doral. That same figure stands in either direction, hotel-bound or airport-bound.
Just a few. An indoor meet-and-greet, driver standing at baggage claim with your name on a sign, is a paid choice set apart from the standard curbside pickup. Any trip that falls outside daytime hours takes the night surcharge detailed below. And an unusually large or heavy load of luggage might mean stepping up to a bigger van.
There is nothing extra on collections from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Beyond that window a small amount is added — the very thing that keeps overnight and very early runs on the menu.
We take Venmo, Zelle, and a secure payment link, plus cash on short, close-in pickups. Reserving takes a 50% deposit, and the other 50% goes to the driver on the day you travel. Add a return leg and it is just twice the one-way, kept under one reservation. Because the fee rides with the vehicle instead of the seat, the party travels on one number — something a bigger group divides among more heads.
Per vehicle. Whether two are aboard or a full fourteen, the group pays the single flat figure listed above. There is no per-head charge, so spreading the fare across more travelers is what drops the cost each person feels. The car itself is reserved to your booking alone.
In this case they are identical: a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter kept for your group only, not a shared shuttle scooping up strangers along the way. From six up to fourteen passengers it is the practical pick, priced at the per-vehicle flat rate above — one figure for the whole party, not a seat-by-seat ticket.
No — we are not a public bus. Riding a city line like the 115 or the 36 means standing at a stop and transferring with your bags. Ours is a private door-to-door run instead: straight from the MIA curb to the hotel in a reserved SUV or private van, no stops in between.
This is an all-suite hotel in Doral, the business-focused city immediately west of Miami International Airport. Its whole point is a kitchen and more room than a standard hotel, which makes it a ready match for relocations and longer stays near the airport. You can review the suite layouts and amenities on the Doral airport property page, where the wider Extended Stay America network of locations is listed as well. For the transfer itself, it could hardly be simpler: a short, direct hop off the MIA terminals.
Businesslike and functional rather than touristy. The mood is set by office parks, trade-show and convention business, chain and international eateries, golf courses, and broad commercial roads. As one of Greater Miami’s main centers for international business and logistics, Doral’s surrounding streets skew toward work and errands over nightlife or the shore.
That is precisely what the all-suite format is for. With a kitchen in each suite, it fits relocations, drawn-out project postings, and crews who prefer cooking to another restaurant meal. The calm business-district address suits work travelers and families both — room by the airport, minus the resort crowds.
It all rests on a vehicle reserved for your group and no one else — nothing shared, nothing pooled, only your party and a driver comfortable in English along with Spanish or Portuguese. With the price fixed when you book, a peak-hour spike cannot rewrite the agreed number, and no meter ticks up while traffic stalls. It is all handled directly on WhatsApp, headcount and bags settled before the day, and the driver takes the cases so you are not hauling them at the curb. A single person owns your trip from booking through drop-off — nothing like opening an app and hoping a ride materializes.
Tighter coordination and a more premium standard — a fixed fare, a named driver, a meet timed to your flight — at a total sitting well under Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Just off the terminal loop the airport runs a free cell-phone waiting lot where meeting cars can sit until their passenger is set. That holding spot is the quiet engine behind an on-time pickup — a tracked car reaches the door within moments of your clearing the belts, no laps of the horseshoe and no meter running in the paid garage.

One day before departure, we’ll message you the driver’s name, the vehicle model, and the license plate, along with full curbside pickup directions.

We ask you not to eat while traveling. The only beverage allowed is water in sealed bottles.
Spur-of-the-moment stops aren’t part of the base fare, but a short, nearby stop arranged ahead of time can be accommodated. A modest fee may apply for the added time.
Certainly. Give us a minimum of 24 hours’ notice and, availability permitting, we’ll shift your pickup time.
