Private SUV from MIA to the Kimpton EPIC Hotel in Downtown Miami, about 15 to 25 minutes via the Dolphin Expressway, fixed from $80 per vehicle.
The charge is by the vehicle, fixed the second you reserve — nothing is figured per head, and nothing moves with demand.
Pick the tier that suits your numbers and your bags; every one is private and held for your group alone.
Curbside at MIA — the driver waits in the pickup area as you come out with the bags. Would you rather be met inside holding a name sign? That in-terminal greeting is an optional paid add-on you can request when booking.
Not for you. We follow the inbound flight live and the pickup moves on its own, so an early or late arrival is already handled. Nothing needs re-booking and nothing scrambles at the curb — your reserved driver just meets the new arrival time.
The uncomplicated answer is a private door-to-door transfer in a vehicle held only for your party. Smaller groups take the Black SUV; larger ones take a Sprinter van. With the booking done, send your flight number over WhatsApp; the driver enters it and follows the arrival live. When you land you walk out to the curb, where he is already waiting, and go straight into Downtown Miami — no app, no taxi rank, no standing by while a car is assigned. The same private setup runs in reverse for departures, collecting you at the hotel entrance on time and returning you to MIA with margin to spare. A single booking covers all of it, overseen by a real person at every step.
Under normal traffic the drive is roughly 15 to 25 minutes. Off the peak — early morning, mid-evening — it lands near the short end. Through the morning and late-afternoon rush, downtown-bound volume and the surface streets around Biscayne Boulevard push it toward 25. Where exactly it falls depends on which alternate the driver picks, I-95 included, and on how the roads run that day. Live conditions are watched and the clearest line to the hotel entrance taken, so even on a busy afternoon you reach Downtown Miami without detours or guesswork. And since pickup is keyed to your flight, there is no waiting around whether the plane is early or a touch behind.
Each passenger may bring one checked bag plus one carry-on, loaded for you by the driver. Carrying extra or oversized pieces? Message us on WhatsApp beforehand and we confirm the room or move you to a larger Sprinter van, so the group and all its gear travel together.
Yes. Small pets are fine with advance notice — send a WhatsApp before the day and bring the animal in a carrier. Letting us know ahead means your driver is ready and the right vehicle is set aside for you and your companion.
Bigger parties want the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van — one build seats six to nine, and a larger one carries ten to fourteen. That keeps everyone in a single private vehicle with luggage room instead of splitting across separate cars. Give us the headcount and the bag load and the right size is assigned.
The fixed price soaks up the whole private ride with nothing held back for the end. Every toll, every SunPass charge, and all the fuel fold into the rate, so nothing is collected on the way. Onboard WiFi comes off a mobile hotspot — enough to message, navigate, or work heading into the city. The vehicle is reserved for your group only, and the bilingual driver plus the curbside collection are part of the same booking. One quoted figure, agreed before departure, is the cost of the transfer.
A short list of options stands apart from the base rate. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is a paid add-on for anyone who would rather be met inside than at the curb. The first child seat is free for a child under five; each seat after adds a small fee agreed at booking. Extra or oversized bags beyond the standard allowance may need a larger van — tell us ahead and we confirm the space. Trips outside daytime hours also take a surcharge, detailed below.
Between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM nothing is added. Trips that land outside that window carry a small extra amount, keyed to the vehicle:
Payment stays flexible and splits across booking and travel day, so nothing comes due in one lump.
Reserving goes straight through a WhatsApp message, not an app queue. Send the arrival date, flight number, passenger count, and anything extra or oversized you are bringing. Back comes the vehicle and the price confirmed, and a 50% deposit then locks it. Your driver and the pickup details reach you before the day.
We run private vans, never a shared shuttle, so the charge is by the vehicle rather than per passenger — the whole group rides on the one flat figure in the prices section above. Two legs are double a single leg, and anything outside daytime hours adds the small surcharge.
Yes. Collections start at MIA or PortMiami, but drop-offs reach other airports, seaports, and cities across South Florida. Book it as a one-way, or as the return leg of a two-way reservation, and the right private vehicle is set for your group and its luggage.
Chiefly the Brickell Avenue drawbridge next to the hotel, which lifts for river traffic; a raise holds the nearby streets for a few minutes before letting them go. It is the one wildcard on an otherwise quick run — 7.3 miles (11.7 km) covers the whole trip from the MIA curb to the hotel door.
The hotel’s street — Biscayne Boulevard Way — is not Biscayne Boulevard itself. The Way is a short riverside street all its own at the boulevard’s southern tip, hugging the north bank of the Miami River, and typing the full name stops a map pin from wandering a few blocks up the main road. It is a two-minute mix-up that the correct address erases outright.
The Kimpton EPIC Hotel stands where the Miami River meets Biscayne Bay, dead center in Downtown Miami. That waterfront spot sets you among the city’s financial towers, riverfront restaurants, and a marina, the central business district humming right outside. Brickell close by adds rooftop bars, upscale shopping, and nightlife, and the bayfront museum-and-arena district is a short reach off. It is a high-rise, walkable quarter built around business guests and visitors who want the city rather than the sand. There is more on the official Kimpton EPIC Hotel site, and rooms and amenities appear on the IHG hotel detail page before you head off.
Easily — few Miami districts walk better. Riverfront restaurants, the bay walk, shops, and the financial-district offices all sit within a stroll of the entrance. Brickell’s dining and nightlife are only a short walk, so leaving the vehicle behind after check-in is simple.
Below are the points guests raise most about moving between MIA and the Kimpton EPIC Hotel. Each answer carries the real detail — the meeting point, the timing, the luggage, the policies — so you book knowing exactly how arrival day plays out.
You get a private vehicle and a professional driver from curb to hotel entrance. The rate is flat and fixed at booking, so demand, hour, and traffic never change what you owe — nothing surges, no total surprises you. Your driver is bilingual in English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which softens landing in an unfamiliar city. You never ride beside strangers and never sit through added stops; the SUV or van is your group’s alone. Reserving and adjusting run over a direct WhatsApp message to a real person, not an app. The driver helps load the bags, and larger parties simply move up to a Sprinter van.
A tighter and more premium setup — a single agreed fare, a named driver, a meet keyed to your flight — with a total sitting well below Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
