Private ride from MIA to Fontainebleau Miami Beach on Collins Avenue, 11.1 miles via I-195 in 31 minutes, flat $80 per vehicle. Book by WhatsApp.
The route runs in three private classes; here they sit beside their one-way rates:
The vehicle follows the group’s size; all three classes deliver the same private, door-to-door ride:
Standard is a checked bag and a carry-on per head, which the SUV and either van swallow easily. Something oversized, or more of it? Send a WhatsApp note in advance and we verify the space — or simply put you in a larger van — leaving nothing on the pavement.
Clear roads bring it in around 31 minutes, edging to about 33 at peak — tight by Miami measures. The top of that band shows during the weekday morning and evening commute; a midday, evening, or weekend departure usually catches the bottom. Since the driver follows live traffic instead of one line drawn on a map, a wreck or an event on the usual approach reroutes the trip on its own, with nothing asked of you. It’s a door-to-door figure: timing starts as the car leaves the terminal and ends at the hotel entrance, not where the neighborhood begins.
The plan turns on the Airport Expressway, State Road 112 — the tolled spur that opens beside the airport — which passes the trip to I-195 for the last stretch into Mid-Beach. Within moments of the terminal loop your driver is on controlled highway, so barely any of the run touches ordinary streets.
The rate reaches well past the seat — every cost of completing the drive is already inside, so the figure you confirm is the trip’s whole price.
Rides in the 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM daytime span carry no surcharge. Fall outside it — a red-eye landing or a pre-dawn return to MIA — and a modest night rate applies:
It’s paid in two parts, so the whole sum never leaves your hands before anyone has driven anywhere.
The vehicle, always. Each figure above is the group’s whole cost — a solo rider and a packed cabin pay the same. Because a group just divides that one number among themselves, families and larger parties often come out cheaper than they’d guessed.
Yes — a private van kept for your group alone. No one else in it, no timetable, no wait for seats to fill: you land, load, and go, and the car makes for the hotel and nowhere else. Anyone searching for a shuttle lands on something better — the same direct ride, all to themselves.
Small pets are fine on two counts: let us know ahead on WhatsApp, and bring a carrier for the ride. The advance word lets us pick a car with the space, and the carrier keeps the animal secure on the highway. Nothing else shifts — same driver, same door-to-door route.
Yes — a child under 5 rides the first seat free. Additional seats carry a fee set at booking, so a family with two or more little ones should note the ages in the reservation message. Seats are fitted before the driver sets off for the airport, never scrambled into place on arrival.
At the arrivals curb, right outside your baggage claim exit. As you collect the luggage, the driver texts the exact door, so you step straight out to a car already in place. Prefer a name-sign greeting inside the terminal? That in-terminal meet-and-greet is a paid extra — just ask at booking.
On your end, nothing moves. The driver watches the incoming flight live and shifts the pickup to the real landing, whether you’re twenty minutes early or two hours behind. No penalty, no re-booking — the reservation tracks the plane, not the clock.
Booking a private car ahead is the cleanest handling of the trip: one car, one driver, no connections whatever. Reserve before you fly, a driver is put on your specific arrival, and the car rolls the second your group is in — no rental desk, no transit switch, no bags dragged through a garage. A small party takes the Black SUV; a larger one takes a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with room to stretch. It runs the same either way, arriving at MIA or heading back to catch a flight. From terminal to the resort drive, a single person owns the whole journey — someone who already has your name, your count, and your destination before you’ve left the plane.
Yes. Those same drivers and cars can be booked as a private hourly chauffeur service, five-hour minimum — popular for a day of meetings around town, a shopping run, or a night out with the car standing by between stops. Flag hourly service in your message and we build it around your schedule.
MIA is the nearest main airport to the hotel and the one place we run arrival pickups. Departures are more open: we also drive guests privately from the Fontainebleau to other South Florida airports, so anyone flying out of a different field than they flew into can still book that outbound leg.
Fontainebleau Miami Beach is a destination on its own, not merely a place to drop bags. Its sweeping curved tower has anchored the oceanfront since the 1950s, and behind it sits a small city: pool decks, a full-service spa, beachfront cabanas, marquee restaurants, and the nightlife that took the name far beyond Florida. The driver pulls to the main entrance, where bell staff meet the car — the walk from door to front desk is about as long as it takes to read this. You’ll find rooms, dining, and pool reservations on the official Fontainebleau Miami Beach site, and the broader brand — its Las Vegas sister resort included — at Fontainebleau Resorts.
Millionaire’s Row is what locals call the run of Collins Avenue across Mid-Beach lined with grand resorts and oceanfront towers, Atlantic on one flank and the city’s waterways on the other. The Fontainebleau holds the center of it — calmer and more residential than South Beach, and still right on the sand.
Scale, history, and a guest list spanning generations of entertainers and public figures. It’s regularly counted among Miami Beach’s top hotels, its curved mid-century form is itself a landmark, and the pool scene, spa, restaurants, and nightclub make it every bit as much an attraction as a bed.
The beach leads — the resort is right on the sand, with a public oceanfront path along this reach of Mid-Beach for walking, running, and cycling. The near surroundings stay quiet, condo towers and beach access points, while Miami Beach’s livelier side — the Art Deco District and Lincoln Road — sits south, a short ride down.
Count back from your departure: the drive plus whatever check-in buffer the airline recommends. Give more room to international routes and weekday late-afternoon flights, a bit less to a domestic hop with only carry-on. Tell us the flight time and we set a sensible pickup hour with your booking.
Three things separate it. The price, first — set the moment you book and never nudged by traffic, demand, or a surge. The people, second — every driver works two languages, English with Spanish or Portuguese, which makes pickups, timing tweaks, and special requests painless for international travelers. The access, third — a real person answers on WhatsApp, the very channel holding your booking, your questions, and your driver’s details, with no call center or ticket queue between you and whoever’s driving. None looks dramatic alone, but stacked together they make the transfer the steadiest part of a Miami travel day — the leg you never have to think about.
A tighter, more upscale arrangement — flat fare, named driver, pickup timed to your flight — for a total that comes in noticeably below Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

On the hotel-to-MIA leg, the driver stages on the Fontainebleau’s main drive off Collins Avenue and pings you on WhatsApp once the car is set — usually a few minutes ahead of the agreed hour. You come down after the car is confirmed waiting, rather than standing at the entrance scanning for it. That message-first habit mirrors the airport pickup, so both ends of the trip behave the same.
Send the travel date, MIA flight number, group size, and whether it’s one direction or both — over WhatsApp or the email below — and a written confirmation comes back with your vehicle and driver assignment. Booking as soon as the flights are ticketed locks the larger vans and the exact pickup window you’re after, especially around holidays and event weekends in Miami Beach.

We work curbside only. Send us your exit gate and the driver reaches you within a few minutes — quicker than the traditional sign-holding routine.

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.
Relax — we’ll text you the moment your flight touches down. If we don’t hear back soon, the driver heads to the international arrivals hall by default. Wait there and we’ll locate you; nobody gets left behind.
Domestic flights: up to 60 minutes after arrival
International flights: 120 minutes of complimentary wait time
Hotel pickups: 15-minute grace period
Port pickups: up to 60 minutes after the agreed time
That’s uncommon, because two free hours of wait time are already built in. Should you still be inside the airport past that, the trip may count as a no-show. Extra wait time can be requested at US$ 30 per additional 30-minute block, paid to the driver in cash.
Definitely — our drivers help load and unload your luggage.
Each person may bring one large suitcase plus one carry-on as standard. Traveling with bigger items or extras — additional suitcases, musical instruments, mobility equipment, or strollers? Let us know beforehand so we can prepare; an extra fee may apply.
Yes — small pets may come along, provided they stay in a secure carrier. Please give us advance notice.
One child car seat is included free for kids under five. Need another? Request it ahead of time — it costs US$ 15.
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.
The price you’re quoted is the price you pay — no hidden charges. A tip for the driver is entirely optional and always welcome.
Cancel more than 24 hours before your scheduled pickup and you’re refunded in full. Cancellations within 24 hours of the ride can’t be refunded.
Heads-up: refunds have a one-month claim window. Tell us about any issue — a no-show, a service problem — within 30 days of your scheduled ride; after a month the booking is no longer eligible for review or a refund.
