A private black SUV or van from MIA to Dua Miami, Autograph Collection in Brickell, 7.2 miles via SR-836 in about 20 to 23 minutes, flat fare from $80.
Each number pays for the whole group’s vehicle and is nailed down when you book — just grab the size that fits your party and its bags.
Since every vehicle we run is private, the question is only about capacity, not a tier of service. A couple, a family, or a small group of up to 5 passengers with ordinary luggage will settle naturally on the black SUV or SUV XL. Mid-sized parties of 6 to 9 take a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, air-conditioned and roomy. And when it is a bigger family, a conference group, or a full party, the larger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter moves 10 to 14 in one trip. In every case the vehicle is entirely your party’s — never pooled, never a shared seat.
By vehicle, full stop, not by person. Everyone travels on the one flat figure in the prices list above; whether two ride in the SUV or five, the fare does not budge. Splitting that figure across the group is exactly what makes a private transfer such a bargain.
The usual allowance is one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger, which the SUV or a private van takes in stride. Bringing extra or oversized pieces? Send a WhatsApp before travel day and we either confirm the room or move you up to a larger van so it all comes along.
On quiet roads the 7.2 miles (11.6 km) usually take around 20 minutes. During the morning and evening peaks the same run can lengthen toward 23, because the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) and its link into Brickell carry thick commuter traffic then. The miles never change; only the clock does, depending on when you touch down. Outside the busiest windows the highway flows and the ride sits near its 20-minute floor. Your inbound flight is monitored, so an early or late arrival is handled by itself and a schedule you cannot control never costs you. The driver picks the cleanest route of the day, though the corridor is short enough that even bad congestion tacks on only a few minutes. Plan on roughly 20 to 23 minutes from the terminal to the hotel entrance.
Everything the private ride entails lives inside the flat fare, the sneaky costs included. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all wrapped in, so the road adds nothing more. A bilingual driver and a vehicle held for your group come standard, never shared. Curbside collection belongs to every booking — the driver is at the terminal curb as you come out. A mobile hotspot delivers onboard WiFi. The luggage allowance is one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger, loaded for you. And if being met indoors sounds better, an in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is available as an optional paid add-on.
Just a short list of optional extras. The in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is one. A child seat past the first adds a fee agreed at booking, and a run outside daytime hours takes the night surcharge described below. Extra or oversized bags can mean stepping up to a larger vehicle.
Small animals are welcome with advance WhatsApp notice, riding in a carrier. As for children, a little one under 5 gets the first seat free, and every seat after that carries an added fee confirmed at booking. Send ages and numbers ahead of time so the right setup is fitted and waiting.
Daytime runs from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. A trip landing beyond that window picks up a modest add-on:
The total is split in two, so you are not financially committed to the full amount until the day comes.
Double the one-way figure for whichever vehicle you choose — no separate booking system, no hidden markup on the return. Both legs hold at the rate above, a 50% deposit secures the reservation, and the balance goes to your driver. A late-night leg adds nothing past the night surcharge.
Yes — our private van fills that “shuttle” need, only it stays reserved for your group and never runs as a shared or timetabled pool. The 6-to-9 and 10-to-14 passenger Sprinters carry larger parties at the per-vehicle flat fare above, so everyone rides together on one booking.
Miami does run public transit — a train, a tram, a linking line — but that path means changes, walking, and dragging luggage across a multi-leg trip. A private transfer wipes all of that out: one direct ride of about 7.2 miles from the terminal curb straight to the hotel, bags loaded for you.
The simplest option by far is a private point-to-point transfer reserved for your group alone, with no side trips to collect other riders. Match the vehicle to the party — black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for 6 to 9, or the larger Sprinter for 10 to 14. Give the flight number at booking and the driver handles everything else: tracking your arrival, moving into position at MIA, and running you straight to the hotel door. The trip is short and heads directly down the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) into Brickell, so there is no vehicle change, no line, and no shared seating. One WhatsApp message kicks it off; confirm the date, the time, and the headcount, and your driver and rate are locked. From the terminal curb to Dua Miami, Autograph Collection Hotel it remains a single unbroken private ride.
The included pickup is curbside: your flight is tracked and the driver is in place at the terminal curb as you walk out, so you head straight to the vehicle. If you would rather someone meet you inside with a name sign, that in-terminal greeting is an optional paid add-on arranged at booking.
Nothing changes and nothing more is billed. Your driver follows the inbound aircraft live, so an early or delayed landing is absorbed on its own and the pickup re-times to your true arrival. No rebooking, no anxious text — the board is watched and the plan adjusts.
The hotel stands in the Brickell area of Downtown Miami, a compact, walkable financial district dense with glass high-rises, rooftop bars, and waterside dining. Office towers share the streets with a polished nightlife and shopping scene, and the bayfront is near enough to give the whole quarter an open, breezy feel. There is more detail on the hotel’s official website and on its Marriott Autograph Collection listing.
Brickell plays as Miami’s modern downtown heart — a vertical grid of homes and offices set around an open-air block of shops and restaurants. The place stays busy into the night, with cafes, cocktail lounges, and eateries filling the ground floors of the towers, while the bay edge lends it an airy, urban-waterfront character.
The Brickell streets around you offer shopping galleries, art-leaning public spaces, riverwalk strolls, and a deep lineup of restaurants and rooftop bars. It serves business travelers and sightseers after a sleek, central base equally well, with cultural venues and the Downtown Miami core a short ride away.

Heading back to MIA, let the airline’s timetable drive the plan rather than the road: look up the moment check-in and bag drop open for your flight, and schedule the pickup so the drive drops you inside that span. Have your suitcases by the door ahead of the agreed time, and the handoff takes barely a minute.
Flag it at the reservation stage. Skip baggage claim and your group clears the building within minutes of the doors opening; with the driver already following the landing, you meet at the curb almost immediately. It smooths the logistics too — nothing to verify on hold-luggage counts, and the SUV’s trunk space simply stops mattering.
