Private SUV or van from MIA to 1 Hotel South Beach, 11.9 miles on SR-836 in 27 to 33 minutes, set from $80 per vehicle over WhatsApp.
Here is the current pricing for a private, one-way trip from Miami International Airport to 1 Hotel South Beach.
All the tiers are private, so what really tells them apart is how many seats you need.
Always the vehicle. Whether one person rides in the SUV or five, or fourteen pack the biggest van, the rate holds and covers the group for the full trip. Divided across everyone aboard, the private ride often turns out to be the budget choice as much as the comfortable one.
Yes. The luxury shuttle or premium chauffeured shuttle people search for is precisely our service — with a single distinction: each booking is private. Your chauffeured black SUV or private Sprinter van runs for your flight time rather than a set schedule, and the driver, the car, and the route belong to your reservation alone.
The black SUV tier is exactly the full-size luxury class those two models sit in. Which vehicle you get depends on the day’s fleet assignment — it could be a Lincoln Navigator, a Cadillac Escalade, or a similar full-size black SUV — but it is always air-conditioned and seats five with luggage room.
Between MIA Airport and 1 Hotel South Beach the 11.9 miles (19.2 km) take about 27 minutes off-peak, drifting toward 33 at the height of rush hour. Since expressway carries nearly the entire route, the timing stays steadier than it would on surface streets — only a few minutes divide the fastest run from the slowest. And that difference is chiefly about the hour you set out rather than the distance: the mileage is fixed, and just the traffic on it shifts.
Weekday mornings and late afternoons carry the trip toward the top of the range as commuters load the expressways. Weekend evenings can slow too, once beachgoers head out for dinner and nightlife. The quickest rides tend to be mid-morning, early-afternoon, and late-night arrivals.
Every booking includes curbside collection: the driver stands at the arrivals curb outside your terminal as you come through with the luggage. Prefer being met indoors? A name-sign meet-and-greet at baggage claim is available as a paid extra — just say so when you reserve.
Your side stays the same. The driver tracks the inbound flight live, so a delay just moves the pickup to your real landing at no charge. Include the flight number when booking and the rest takes care of itself — no call to place, nothing to rebook, no message from the cabin.
Yes — nonstop, door to door. The vehicle is yours alone, so there is no fixed route, no other passengers to gather, and nothing between the airport curb and the hotel’s front door. You climb in, you set off, you arrive.
Reserving a private vehicle before you fly is the simplest way through the route. Send the travel date, flight number, and group size on WhatsApp or email; we match your party to a black SUV or private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van and send the driver to meet your arrival. Because everything is settled before takeoff, landing leaves nothing to figure out — no counter to locate, no ride to sort with bags in hand. Grab the luggage, walk out, and go.
Included is one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger, across the SUV and the private vans alike. Carrying extra or oversized items? Let us know on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the room — or step your booking up to a larger private van — so it all rides with you in a single trip.
Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are wrapped into the rate — the figure you book is the figure for the whole journey. Each vehicle carries onboard WiFi from a mobile hotspot, and both the SUVs and the private Sprinter vans are climate-controlled against the Miami heat. A handful of optional items fall outside the standard rate; the questions below run through each.
Just three optional items can lift your fare: a pickup outside daytime hours, child seats beyond the first, and the in-terminal meet-and-greet upgrade. Each is a choice, never a surprise after the ride — everything else described on this page is already inside the rate.
Yes — small pets are welcome with a little advance notice. Note the pet when you book on WhatsApp and bring a carrier for the trip; that is all it takes. Flagging it early lets us assign a vehicle with comfortable room for the carrier next to your luggage.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under 5 — just request it at reservation. Any further seat carries a small extra fee we confirm at booking, so a family with two or more young children knows the precise total before setting off.
Standard rates cover pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Red-eye landings and pre-dawn departures are never a problem — a trip outside that daytime window simply adds the following:
The payment splits in two: 50% as a deposit when you reserve, and the other 50% given to the driver on the day of travel.
That deposit runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link — whichever you prefer — and it is what holds your vehicle and driver for the date. The balance changes hands directly with the driver, so nothing is paid in full up front and nothing lingers after the ride.
Cash suits nearby, close-in pickups — flag it on WhatsApp at reservation if you would like to clear the balance that way. The deposit is always electronic, via Venmo, Zelle, or the payment link, since that is what secures the booking.
Yes — book both legs in one reservation. A round journey is exactly twice the one-way rate, with no markup on the return, and your departure pickup at the hotel is timed to the outbound flight so you reach MIA with easy check-in room.
For bookings, navigation, and anyone meeting you there, use 2341 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida 33139. That is the resort’s street address on the ocean side of Collins, and the exact point your fare is quoted to — the driver takes you to that entrance, not to a nearby corner.
1 Hotel South Beach is an eco-minded luxury resort planted right on the Atlantic, built around natural materials, living greenery, and a barefoot-luxury character that sets it apart from the glossier towers down the beach. It is known for its pools, its spa and wellness programming, its oceanfront dining, and guest rooms finished in reclaimed and organic textures. Beach vacationers, wellness guests, couples, and event groups turn up in roughly equal share, and the front drive takes arriving cars with ease — your driver rolls right up to the entrance. For a fuller picture of the property, see 1 Hotel South Beach on the official Miami and Beaches visitor guide.
The beach comes first — the resort opens straight onto the sand. From there, the Collins Avenue shopping and dining run south toward Ocean Drive and the Art Deco District, while Lincoln Road’s open-air pedestrian mall fills with shoppers, street performers, and café tables. Galleries, nightlife, and beachfront parks fill out the rest of the neighborhood.
The resort sits on Collins Avenue at the northern edge of South Beach, where the busy Art Deco blocks ease into a calmer, more resort-like run of oceanfront. That spot keeps the nightlife and restaurants within easy reach while the hotel itself stays quiet and beach-focused.
It comes down to certainty. First, the fare is set the instant you reserve — a fixed price that will not move with traffic, demand, or when your flight actually lands. Second, each driver speaks two languages — English along with Spanish or Portuguese — which counts when you are sorting a pickup, a child seat, or a late change. Third, you deal with real people rather than menus: a direct WhatsApp line ties you to the very team dispatching your driver, so questions and changes are handled fast.
A better-coordinated, premium arrangement — a flat fare, a named driver, a pickup timed to the flight — for a meaningfully lower total than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Those same vehicles can be hired by the hour, on a 5-hour minimum — handy for a South Beach evening where the car waits between dinner, a show, and the ride home, or for a day of appointments around the city. The driver stays with the vehicle the whole time, so shopping bags and beach gear travel safely from stop to stop.
Boarding a ship at PortMiami before or after the beach stay? The very same drivers run hotel-to-port and port-to-hotel legs, booked just like the airport trip — send the sail date and ship name in place of a flight number.
Booking is one message away. Send the travel date, MIA flight number, group size, and direction — arrival, departure, or both — on WhatsApp or email, and your vehicle assignment and driver confirmation come back. Reserving ahead, especially for winter weekends and event dates, makes sure the right vehicle size is waiting for your group.

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.
If you’d rather have a driver holding a name sign inside the terminal, we can set that up for US$ 20.
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.
