A private black SUV or van from MIA to EAST Miami Hotel in Brickell — 7.2 miles via SR-836 and I-95, roughly 20 to 23 minutes, flat from $80 per vehicle.
Each fare here is flat, attaches to the vehicle rather than the seat, and locks the second you reserve — the whole group moving on one number.
Three private vehicles cover every group size on this route, each reserved for you alone.
Clear roads put the drive around 20 minutes; at the day’s busiest it stretches to about 23. The distance is short enough to stay brisk both ways, though Miami traffic ebbs and flows by the hour — weekday inbound mornings and the late-afternoon crush each cost a few minutes, while midday and late evening usually run at the quicker end. Cruise-day surges and downtown events can nudge the clock too. Your driver knows the corridor and takes whatever line runs clearest, so the curb-to-door figure stays near that band even when the highways clog. Lining something up right after — a dinner reservation, a connection to catch? Flag it at booking and the pickup is scheduled with a sensible cushion, so you arrive unhurried.
Curbside comes with the fare: collect your bags, walk out of the terminal, and the driver is there to bring you to the vehicle. Would you sooner be met inside arrivals under a name sign? That in-terminal greeting is an optional paid add-on you set at booking.
The inbound flight is monitored and the pickup moves on its own, so touching down early or hours behind causes no trouble — nothing to re-book, no late penalty. The car is at the curb once you clear the terminal, and the re-timing costs you nothing.
Setting up a private transfer before you leave home is the least complicated way to move between the airport and the hotel. Pick the vehicle for your party — a black SUV for up to five, or a private Sprinter van for larger groups — and pass your flight details at booking. On landing you skip the rideshare queue entirely: the driver is already near the terminal exit and walks you to the vehicle, making it genuinely door to door, MIA curb to hotel entrance. Reserving takes a couple of minutes over WhatsApp, email, or a secure payment link, and the pickup time, passenger count, and any extra bags get settled right then. Because the car is held only for your group, no one else is collected en route, nothing is added to the path, and you pull away as soon as everyone is aboard.
Tolls, SunPass, fuel, onboard WiFi, and the standard luggage allowance all sit inside the set price, so nothing is collected at the curb. Every road charge across the trip is absorbed, which is why the figure you agree is the figure you settle. WiFi comes by mobile hotspot and keeps the group online from the moment you sit down. The luggage allowance rides with you, and the vehicle is sized to the party so the bags travel comfortably. It all rolls into one per-vehicle fare — what you book is a complete point-to-point service, not a base rate with items piled on after. The only things outside it are the optional extras just below, each confirmed with you beforehand.
A brief list falls outside the base fare. A driver waiting inside with your name on a sign is an optional paid add-on. The first child seat for a child under five costs nothing; each further seat carries a small fee set at booking. Small pets ride with advance WhatsApp notice and a carrier. Pickups outside daytime hours take on the after-hours charge covered next.
Daytime service, 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, adds nothing. A booking that lands beyond those hours carries a modest amount, which is what keeps drivers available overnight and into the small hours for your group.
It stays flexible: Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link, half at booking and the rest to the driver. Cash is fine on nearby, close-in pickups. That 50% deposit secures the reservation, and the closing 50% is paid on travel day. A round trip is simple — twice the one-way, set as a single reservation so both directions confirm together and the return holds to the same standard. When the deposit clears, the vehicle, driver, and pickup time are yours, and the per-vehicle figure will not move between booking and arrival. If anything changes ahead of time, one WhatsApp message reworks it.
By vehicle, not by person. The whole group travels on the one flat price above — as many as five in the SUV, as many as fourteen in a private van. Adding seats within the vehicle’s limit never lifts the total, which is what makes splitting a fare across a bigger group so easy.
A shuttle search here really points to the private Sprinter van, priced by the vehicle at the fixed price above and never per head. A party of 6 to 14 rides together on that one figure, and it stays put no matter the traffic or the demand.
One checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, with the vehicle matched to your group so it all fits easily. Bringing extra or oversized pieces? A WhatsApp message beforehand lets us confirm the space or move you to a larger private van. Nothing to solve at the curb.
Yes. We run private transfers from EAST Miami Hotel out to your PortMiami cruise terminal as a separate booking, in the same black SUV or private van and on the same flat-rate, named-driver footing. Share your sailing time at booking and the pickup lands with a comfortable margin before boarding.
The address comes out as 788 Brickell Plaza — watch the street: it is Brickell Plaza, not Brickell Avenue. Brickell Plaza is its own short street inside the district, so enter it exactly as printed and the pin drops at the hotel door instead of some point along the avenue.
EAST Miami Hotel plants you right in Brickell, the city’s sleek money-and-lifestyle quarter, where rooftop bars, designer shops, and bayfront tables all lie a short walk from reception. The hotel is recognized for its tropical pool deck, its handful of restaurants, and a crisp modern style that reads as easily for business guests as for a weekend crowd. The blocks around it fold banking towers together with boutiques, coffee counters, and a nightlife that keeps going. There is fuller detail on the property and its amenities in the official EAST Miami hotel overview.
It is the most pedestrian-friendly slice of Miami — a tight grid of residence towers, alfresco shopping, and restaurants stacked from grab-a-lunch spots through late dinners. The vibe runs cosmopolitan and fast, with bay views, waterside parks, and a crowd that stays international year-round, which is why it suits either a business trip or a weekend away.
A great deal fits into a few blocks: open-air shopping and a well-chosen run of stores, cafes and rooftop lounges by the dozen, arts and culture spots, and easy reach to the walkways lining Biscayne Bay. Activity holds from morning to late, so a meal, a drink, or a bench to watch the street from is always close, work trip or not.
Brickell is a bayfront city district, not a beach one. The ocean sand of Miami Beach lies over the bay, a short hop from the door, while what Brickell offers is urban — dining, shopping, and the bayside promenades rather than surf outside the lobby.
The hotel is built into Brickell City Centre, the district’s big open-air shopping-and-dining complex, its retail floors right under the guest levels. For the transfer that carries one useful implication: the driver enters the hotel’s own arrival area off Brickell Plaza, not the mall’s shopping doors, and bags travel trunk-to-lobby without crossing the retail floors. A late-evening check-in is identical — the arrival area opens to the street and never depends on store hours.
Coming straight to us gives your group its own vehicle, a flat per-vehicle fare fixed at booking, and a bilingual driver — nothing shared, nothing surging. Once you confirm, the entire car is yours and the fare is locked; traffic, weather, and peak demand cannot touch it. The driver’s English plus Spanish or Portuguese makes the pickup, luggage, and directions simple for international arrivals. Everyone’s bags are tallied ahead, so a full SUV or van rolls out with room for the gear rather than a curbside scramble. Start to finish you reach a real person on WhatsApp, not an app queue.
A leaner, more upscale setup — one agreed fare, a driver by name, a pickup keyed to your flight — for a total that sits well under an Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
