Private car from MIA to Palmetto Bay in south Miami-Dade — about 20 miles down the Turnpike, roughly 25 to 40 minutes, one flat fare from $250 per vehicle.
Read each number below as the price of the whole vehicle for a private transfer. A single group, a single figure, and nothing bolted on later for traffic or busy demand.
Whatever your headcount, one of three vehicles fits, each scaled to a party size:
Expect close to 121 minutes on a clear road, rising to about 128 when the hours get busy — a little over two hours over the roughly 20 miles (151 km) from start to finish. The seven-minute spread is down to traffic, not the distance: a midday or late-evening start usually catches the lighter figure, and the weekday morning and afternoon rushes the heavier. If a Palmetto Bay appointment is set in stone, plan to the longer number for breathing room; the curbside start keeps the door-to-door clock tight from the moment you exit the terminal.
Traffic on the corridor, and barely anything else. The bulk of the added time comes from weekday commuter windows and heavy rain, while an off-peak trip holds near the low figure. Neither the mileage nor the route ever changes.
Yes. Your inbound flight is monitored live and the pickup adjusts by itself, so landing early or late calls for no new booking and no penalty. When you finally step out, the chauffeur is right there at the curb to take the bags.
Expenses that would otherwise stack up are dealt with beforehand. The rate already contains tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel, so the highway and the mileage produce no surprises. A mobile hotspot carries onboard WiFi with you the whole way, curb to door. The number you settle on at booking is exactly what the ride costs.
Just a few. A name-sign greeting inside the terminal is an optional paid add-on set at booking. A second or third child seat carries a fee agreed at the same time, and any pickup outside daytime hours takes the after-hours amount above. Extra or oversized luggage can mean stepping up to a larger vehicle, which we confirm ahead.
Each passenger gets 1 checked bag and 1 carry-on as standard, and since the vehicle is chosen to suit your group, the load has room. Traveling with oversized or additional items? A WhatsApp note in advance lets us verify the space or move you to a larger private van. Given warning, it rarely causes trouble.
Small pets are welcome with prior WhatsApp notice and a pet carrier. For kids, the first seat is free for anyone under 5, and each seat after that has a small fee confirmed at booking. Pass the ages and seat count along early and the vehicle is ready before pickup.
Right at the MIA curb, waiting at the pickup point as you emerge from the terminal — included in the rate. Prefer being met inside beside a name sign? The in-terminal meet-and-greet is an optional paid add-on set when you book. Either way, you never end up searching for a ride.
Nothing is added from 7 AM to 9 PM. Beyond that window a small sum joins the flat fare:
Two halves. Booking takes a 50% deposit that secures the vehicle and the fare, and the last 50% is paid to the chauffeur on trip day. We take Venmo, Zelle, and a secure payment link, plus cash on nearby, close-in pickups. A round trip is just the one-way doubled on a single reservation, with nothing added later for the traffic that turned up.
On close-in, nearby pickups, yes. For a longer airport run such as this we take the deposit digitally first to lock the reservation, then the balance can be settled on the day. Let us know your preference at booking and we sort it.
Per car. Whether two ride or a van is packed, the group settles the single flat price above. For families and teams it usually works because the cost divides among everyone, and the booked figure is the paid figure.
Yes. Because the route works both directions, a private car runs to or from MIA Airport and Palmetto Bay on the same vehicle and flat-rate setup. Book the legs on their own or as a round trip on one reservation, and a chauffeur picks you up at your Palmetto Bay door for the way back.
A large group gets the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 10 to 14, which fills the shuttle role except that it stays reserved for your party and is never opened to other guests. Reserve it the way you would the SUV — give the group size, and everyone rides together on one flat per-vehicle rate.
Five travel comfortably in the black SUV with luggage, since it holds up to 5. Add oversized or extra bags and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van gives the room instead — tell us ahead and we settle the right size before the day.
The numbered grid of south Miami-Dade repeats the same number as a Street, an Avenue, a Court, a Terrace, and a Place, each somewhere else on the map. Give us the full suffix and the SW prefix exactly as they appear on your lease or reservation — it is the detail that most often keeps a driver from circling a block that looks nearly right.
If you are meeting family at a waterfront park or preserve rather than a house, name the exact entrance or parking area. Such places have several ways in, and the park name by itself leaves it to guesswork.
Book a private SUV or van, meet the chauffeur curbside, and drive south on Florida’s Turnpike right to the Palmetto Bay address. After landing you head out to the curb, where the chauffeur is already waiting; the bags go in and you are off. The trip keeps to the main southbound corridor, which makes it direct and predictable, and one car carries you the whole distance.
Palmetto Bay is a calm, leafy residential village in south Miami-Dade County, running along the western edge of Biscayne Bay. Its feel is suburban — tree-shaded streets, waterfront parks, nature preserves, and family space in place of high-rises or nightlife. People come for the outdoors, the views over the bay, and a peaceful base set apart from the busier tourist zones to the north. The official Palmetto Bay neighborhood guide adds more. Your transfer delivers you to the door here — a home, a business, or a park entrance — without swapping vehicles along the way.
The day here is outdoor-first: waterfront parks, nature trails, picnic lawns, and quiet bayside greenery. The mood is slow and family-minded, with space to walk, cycle, and stay close to the water instead of a crowd. It fits anyone drawn to the residential, unhurried side of the Miami area.
Being mostly residential, the village sees visitors take private homes or rentals within it. Those who want a hotel district usually stay in the livelier areas to the north — around Brickell, or near South Beach — and come down for the day. Either way, the private transfer runs door to door.
Your fare is locked the moment you book — a single flat, per-vehicle figure that pays no attention to traffic, demand, or the time of day. A bilingual chauffeur in English plus Spanish or Portuguese takes the whole trip, so language is never a hurdle on arrival. You book straight with us by WhatsApp or email, not through an app queue, dealing with real people before and during the ride, and you already know the driver, the vehicle class, and the total before you land.
A better-run version of the same trip — a price agreed in advance, a chauffeur assigned by name, and a pickup timed to your arrival — while the total still comes in below Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Groups bound for a rented house often want ten minutes at a supermarket or pharmacy before drop-off. Bring it up at reservation, not on the day — a stop planned ahead goes into the booking, while one raised mid-route hinges on whatever the chauffeur’s schedule permits.

Just send us the updated details right away and we’ll revise your booking while following the new flight.
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.
