Private SUV or van from MIA to Andaz Miami Beach Resort & Spa, 11.1 miles via I-195 in 31-33 minutes, flat from $80 per vehicle.
Choose the vehicle whose seat count fits your group — the rates here apply on the route in either direction:
Each of the three is private, so the decision hangs on your numbers and your pile of bags.
Ours are private vans, not pooled shuttles, with the charge resting on the vehicle instead of the seat. Whatever appears in the pricing block up top buys the ride for the entire group — two people or fourteen — which is why the amount per head shrinks the bigger the party. No second calculation exists.
From curb to lobby, plan on 31 minutes on a quiet road and up to 33 at the peak. The striking part is how narrow that gap is, so even a weekday-evening landing barely nudges the estimate. Your genuine wait comes before the car at all: stepping off the plane, passport control on an international arrival, and the baggage carousel can each outlast the drive itself. So anchor your dinner booking or check-in to that portion rather than the road time. Once you are moving, the leg is brief enough that many guests are still typing “we’ve landed” as the resort appears ahead. It runs the same on the way back — send the departure time and we set a pickup hour that leaves room for both the traffic and the airport’s security lines.
Every reservation includes a curbside meeting at MIA arrivals. You come out of the terminal with the bags to find the driver already stationed at the curb — you show up, the luggage is loaded, and off you go. No parking garage to comb through, no trek to a far lot; it happens on the arrivals level, exactly where you step out.
Yes, as a paid option. The driver waits inside the terminal with a name sign and escorts you from baggage claim out to the car. It tends to appeal most to first-time visitors, someone traveling solo, or a sizable group — flag it on WhatsApp as you book.
That never becomes your headache, since flight tracking rides along on every reservation. The driver watches the inbound plane live and resets the meeting to the real landing — whether you are forty minutes early or three hours late is beside the point. No call to make, no re-booking, and no penalty for the delay.
Nothing keeps this trip more direct than lining up a private transfer in advance. The vehicle is chosen before you leave — a Black SUV for a smaller party, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for a larger one — and the pickup is shaped around your arrival, not the reverse. There is nothing to track down after a long flight, no app to nurse onto airport WiFi, no ride to arrange with bags hanging off you. The driver loads the luggage, confirms where you are headed, and points the car toward Miami Beach while you relax. Booking is a single WhatsApp or email with your flight details, and the rest is handled before you board. Flip it for departures: set the collection at the resort lobby and go straight through to your departure terminal at MIA.
Transit links the two, but it opens a beach holiday slowly. There are station waits, a chain of stops along the way, and a luggage walk at each end, with the schedules thinning noticeably after dark. A private transfer leaves the instant you are on the ground and finishes at the resort door.
Everyone travels with 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, which handles a normal resort trip comfortably. Packing more than that, or something outsized? A quick WhatsApp before travel day lets us verify the room, or shift you to a larger van so nothing gets abandoned. Luggage is never the snag on this ride — it is only the reason for one short message.
Yes. A child under 5 rides in the first seat free — note the age at booking so the correct one is fitted before pickup. Need more than one? Each extra seat carries a small fee confirmed while you reserve, so travel day brings no surprises.
Small animals are welcome on two conditions: a heads-up beforehand on WhatsApp, and a carrier for the ride. The carrier keeps your companion steady at speed and leaves the cabin clean for the next passenger. Note the pet at booking and it is added to the reservation.
Everything the journey truly requires already sits within the price you agree to.
Very little. A pickup starting outside daytime hours draws a supplement, with the exact figures in the night-tariff section below. Otherwise the total moves only for optional extras you request while booking, and every one of those is put in writing ahead of travel — never sprung at the curb.
It does — journeys starting outside daytime hours draw a small supplement, since a red-eye landing or a pre-dawn departure still gets its own driver and the same full service. The breakdown:
The bill arrives in two installments, so the whole sum is never handed over before you travel.
We do — each vehicle runs both ways, resort to airport just as easily as airport to resort. For a departure, send your take-off time and we settle on a collection hour that gets you to MIA with a relaxed margin. Plenty of guests book the arrival and the return in a single reservation.
The resort took a new name when Hyatt’s recent renovation finished: whatever older maps, booking screenshots, and a few navigation apps still call The Confidante Miami Beach is the very same oceanfront building now under the Andaz flag. Both names work with your driver — on our end the destination is filed as one and the same Collins Avenue property.
Perched oceanfront in Miami Beach’s Mid-Beach corridor, Andaz Miami Beach Resort & Spa flies Hyatt’s design-led Andaz banner. The tone is not the postcard bustle of the blocks further south: Mid-Beach trades crowds for room, with the sand directly behind the building and a quieter, more residential feel around it. Water is the organizing idea here — ocean-facing pools, a full spa program, and restaurants you never have to leave the grounds for — all in the bright, modern style the Andaz name signals. Room types, restaurant line-ups, and seasonal offers appear on the official Andaz Miami Beach page. For an arriving guest, the practical takeaway is simple: the holiday begins as the car door opens, because after check-in the last decision left is where to lay your towel.
Everything flows from the oceanfront setting: pools by the water, a full-service spa, on-site restaurants and bars, and the beach right off the back of the building. Its rooms and suites carry the Andaz design language — light and contemporary, as suited to a long stay as a weekend.
Mid-Beach favors a slow tempo — the oceanfront beachwalk, uncrowded sand, and easygoing cafes set the pace. For more energy, South Beach’s Art Deco District and its nightlife share the same barrier island, while Wynwood’s murals and the Design District’s shops sit across the bay on the mainland.
Yes — you can book daytime access to the resort’s pool and spa through ResortPass day passes for Andaz Miami Beach, enjoying the property without a room. For us, setting up a private transfer for a day visit is no different from arranging one for an overnight stay.
Brief answers to the points passengers raise most about this transfer.
Three things carry it: a fixed fare, a bilingual driver, and a straight line to a real person. Whatever you confirm at booking is what you pay — it will not jump because of rain, a convention letting out, or a wave of evening flights landing together. Your driver handles English along with Spanish or Portuguese, easing things for international passengers and mixed groups. From the opening message to the last drop-off you deal with us on WhatsApp, so a question about the reservation reaches the team running the car, not a ticket queue.
Better organization and a premium vehicle — a flat rate, a named driver, a pickup keyed to your flight — for a total well beneath Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Reservations here are not sealed vaults: cancel a minimum of 24 hours before the scheduled pickup and nothing is charged. A reshuffled airline, a moved sailing, a stay cut short — anything falling outside that last day unwinds at no cost, and setting a fresh date takes the same brief message that created the first booking.
Send the flight number, travel date, passenger count, and luggage details on WhatsApp or by email, and your vehicle assignment comes back with the confirmation. It is all handled person to person — you will know who is collecting you well before you leave home.
