From $140 per vehicle, a private car runs the 10.7 miles from MIA to the Diplomat Beach Resort in about 29–31 minutes via SR-836. Book on WhatsApp.
The price sits with the vehicle and is set the instant you book, so the whole party rides for one number regardless of the hour or the traffic:
Choose on headcount and bags, then travel privately end to end. Each option below is held only for your party — no pooling and no extra stops:
Roughly 29 minutes with clear roads, rising to 31 at the busiest hours. The 10.7 miles rely on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), a toll corridor that pulls traffic east and north from the airport without surface-street stop-and-go. Things move best around midday and early afternoon, while the morning and evening rush explain the small bump to the upper figure. With the fare agreed beforehand, an unusually slow run never touches your cost — the driver stays with you until the entrance. For departures we build a buffer into the pickup time, leaving a comfortable margin for check-in even on a heavy day. The trip is short enough that a sluggish afternoon still totals about half an hour from curb to resort.
At the curb, the driver is standing by the moment you walk out. Prefer an indoor greeting with a name sign? Request that in-terminal meet-and-greet at booking as an optional paid add-on. In either case, the precise meeting details land in your WhatsApp before you touch down.
Journeys beginning outside the 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM daytime window carry a modest after-hours surcharge, added to the standard fare for that vehicle:
Because the payment is split, you never arrive owing the whole amount. Venmo, Zelle, and a secure payment link all work, with cash fine on neighboring, close-in pickups. A 50% deposit up front locks the booking, and the other 50% reaches the driver on the day. A round journey runs to twice the one-way — reserve both legs at once and the same vehicle is set aside for the return. It is all confirmed in writing over WhatsApp beforehand, so the vehicle, the timing, and the total are settled long before you arrive.
On neighboring, close-in pickups, yes, with the driver taking the final 50% on the day. Most bookings go the other route, though: the upfront half by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, then the balance as the driver arrives. We confirm which fits your journey while you book.
By the vehicle, not the seat. Your whole party travels on the one flat figure in the prices above, be it two people or a packed van. Filling seats up to the vehicle’s capacity leaves the cost where it is — which is precisely why a private transfer rewards families and groups.
Some passengers call the private van a shuttle, but it is priced to the vehicle rather than the seat, so the whole group shares a single flat fare from the prices list above. It is never shared or scheduled; the van belongs to your party alone, seating 6 to 9 or 10 to 14.
Simple enough. Reserve both legs together and the same private vehicle covers the trip back to the airport. A round journey doubles the one-way fare, and the departure pickup is set to your outbound flight with a traffic cushion allowed. We also run drop-offs to other airports, ports, and cities — just ask.
Standard is one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger, with the SUV or van chosen for that group’s load. Bringing extra or oversized bags? Give us a WhatsApp ahead and we confirm the space or move you to a larger private van. That gets sorted before journey day, never at the curb.
Bring a small pet with you by letting us know ahead on WhatsApp and travelling with a carrier. For families, the first child seat is free for a child under five, and each seat beyond adds a small fee confirmed at booking. Just pass the ages and seat count in advance.
The fare covers the whole private ride plus the extras that usually get added later. Each journey comes with a bilingual driver — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — and onboard WiFi from a mobile hotspot along the way. The driver follows the inbound flight live and meets you curbside as you exit. Prefer to be met inside? A name-sign meet-and-greet is on offer as an optional paid add-on. Small pets ride with advance WhatsApp notice, in a carrier. Child seats are set at booking: the first is free for a child under five, with any extra seat carrying a small fee confirmed with you beforehand.
We do, and up front. The Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) is tolled, and that charge — plus SunPass and fuel — is already baked into your flat fare. No toll money passes to the driver and no fuel surcharge shows up. What we quote at booking is what you pay.
Nothing at all. Watching your flight live, the driver shifts the pickup on its own, with no rebooking and no penalty against the locked fare. Since the rate is tied to the vehicle, a late landing cannot move what you owe. Leave the flight number on the reservation and the rest takes care of itself.
Nothing is easier than a private door-to-door transfer in a vehicle set aside for your group. Choose the Black SUV for up to five, the smaller private van for six to nine, or the larger private van for ten to fourteen. As you land, the driver is already curbside, ready to load bags and pull straight onto the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) toward the coast. Nothing is shared, no one else is waited on, and no stops break up the run unless you ask. Booking takes one message: send the flight number, arrival time, group size, and the resort name over WhatsApp, and the vehicle and flat fare come back in writing. The same arrangement works in reverse for departure, with the pickup keyed to your outbound flight. One vehicle, one driver, one straight run to the lobby.
You will find the resort on South Ocean Drive in Hollywood, Broward County — above the Miami-Dade line and nowhere near the similarly named beach towers a search box tends to surface first. Putting Hollywood, FL on the arrival form and in the booking message is what makes the address land on the first try.
Near the end, the drive leaves the mainland for the barrier island the resort sits on, and that crossing is the sole part of the trip on regular streets instead of expressway.
An oceanfront property on Florida’s Atlantic shore, it is built to handle leisure getaways and large meetings equally. The grounds spill onto a broad stretch of sand, with pools, restaurants, and a spa on site, while the surrounding district weaves beach recreation together with conference and event space. Guests here tend to combine resort time with the wider South Florida coast — a walkable shoreline, casual dining, and an easygoing barrier-island mood over dense city blocks. There is more on the resort’s official Hilton page, and you can browse rooms and amenities on the Diplomat Beach Resort site.
It does — set right on the Atlantic, the resort has its own sand frontage and oceanview rooms. That waterfront spot is the entire reason to stay, which is why most guests show up with beach bags and resort plans instead of a full city itinerary. Your driver takes you to the main entrance.
Beach and resort lead the way: swimming in the ocean, lounging poolside, dining on site, and spa time. Venture off the grounds and the coast around it offers casual waterfront restaurants and slow shoreline walks. It fits passengers chasing sand and calm over a busy downtown agenda, right beside the event and meeting space the resort is known for.
No — parking is not our business. Private transfers are, and they remove the parking question outright. Instead of paying daily or long-term lot rates and dragging bags from a far-off garage, you are dropped at the terminal and picked up curbside on return. For many passengers, that flat per-vehicle fare lands close to what extended parking would have run anyway.
Hardly. The difference between the quiet-hours figure and the peak figure quoted earlier on this page is about two minutes — unusual for a South Florida airport run. A tolled expressway does nearly the whole distance, so little of the trip hinges on signalised junctions, and a departure pickup here needs a smaller cushion than one starting inland.
Your journey is in a vehicle held solely for your group, at a price that will not move. The flat fare locks the instant you book — no surge, no recalculating for traffic or demand, no surprise add-ons at the curb. A bilingual driver handles the route and the luggage, including the standard checked bag and carry-on per passenger, with the option to step up to a larger van for extra bags. You talk to us over direct WhatsApp, reaching the people arranging the ride rather than a dispatch line. Nothing is shared and no detour scoops up strangers; the trip is yours from the airport curb to the resort door. For families, work teams, and event groups who want a known driver, a known vehicle, and a known total before wheels-down, that is the draw.
You get the better-organized, more polished service — a flat fare, a named driver, a pickup timed to your flight — for considerably less overall than an Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
