A private Black SUV from MIA to Loews Miami Beach Hotel on Collins Avenue — 11.1 miles (17.8 km) on SR-836, about 31 to 33 minutes, flat from $80 per vehicle.
Here is how the one-way rates between airport and hotel divide up:
Headcount and bags decide between the three private classes on this route:
Plan on 31 to 33 minutes door to door. Off-peak departures — late morning, early afternoon, late evening — hit the lower figure, while weekday rush and busy beach weekends bring the higher one. The gap holds tight because most of the drive is expressway rather than stop-and-go surface streets, so heavy traffic costs you minutes, not hours. You never open a map or weigh routes; the driver tracks live conditions and adjusts as he goes. Toward the airport, use the same window and then add whatever check-in cushion your airline advises once you reach the terminal.
The heaviest crawl is weekday mornings and late afternoons, joined by weekend afternoons as beach crowds swell. Those windows push the ride toward the top of the quoted range rather than doubling it. For the fastest this corridor runs, take an early-morning or midday pickup.
Your fare includes a curbside pickup: reach the arrivals level, step out of your terminal, and the vehicle is already waiting at the curb. Since your confirmation names the exact car and driver to look for, there is no wandering a parking garage and no phone call to make while juggling bags in the heat.
Nothing for you to handle. Tracking your incoming flight in real time, the driver simply slides the pickup to line up with when you actually arrive. There is no message to send from the plane, no rebooking, and no change to the fare — whenever you walk out, the ride is there.
Booking a private transfer ahead is the most direct way to run this route. You reserve before flying by sending the travel date, flight number, and party size, and a named vehicle and driver attach to that booking. On landing there is no rental counter to find, no rideshare zone to hunt, and no line — bags in, and you head straight to the hotel entrance without a stop. Alone, as a couple, or with the whole family, the trip has the same shape: one reserved vehicle, one driver, one uninterrupted run. And because it is settled beforehand, even the busiest arrival banks at MIA leave your pickup alone — the car was held for you well before the plane reached the gate.
Transit does link the airport with Miami Beach, but it brings transfers, timed stops, and your own luggage to shift between them. A private transfer strips all that away: the car leaves the moment you land and stops only at the hotel door. Split between two or more people, that convenience is hard to argue against.
The whole trip rides inside the per-vehicle price. Highway tolls and SunPass charges are covered, fuel is covered, and a mobile hotspot runs onboard WiFi so you stay connected without burning roaming data. The first child seat is free too, for a child under 5 — just give the child’s age at booking. Standard luggage for each passenger is part of the service as well, with the exact allowance set out below.
Three items, and no others, sit outside the standard rate: the in-terminal meet-and-greet, where the driver waits inside with a name sign, an optional paid extra; child seats beyond the first, which carry a fee confirmed at booking; and pickups outside daytime hours, which take the night surcharge listed higher up. Past those, nothing gets added.
Daytime runs 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and any trip inside that window bills at the standard rates near the top of this page. Pickups outside those hours pick up a modest surcharge:
Two pieces make up payment: a deposit that reserves the vehicle, then a balance you hand over on travel day.
Per vehicle, always. Whatever number of seats you use, the figures in the rate list above apply to the car or van as a whole. Five in the SUV pay the single fare a lone traveler would, which is exactly why a group usually wins going private.
Whatever we send in shuttle shape is a private Sprinter van, never a shared ride. If a shuttle is on your mind because the party is large, the private van does that job to the letter: the full group and all the bags travel in one go, the departure waits on you rather than a timetable, and the vehicle drives to your address only.
Each passenger’s ticket includes one checked bag and one carry-on. Carrying extra or oversized items? A WhatsApp message before travel day lets us confirm the space or move your group to a larger van so it all rides together. Here luggage is a planning detail, not a problem.
Small pets are welcome on two conditions: tell us ahead over WhatsApp, and travel with a pet carrier. Arranged that way, your pet boards with the rest of the family and rides in the climate-controlled cabin all the way to the hotel.
Yes — it runs both directions. For the return, the driver meets you at the Loews lobby entrance at the agreed time, loads the bags, and delivers you to your airline’s terminal door. Plenty of guests book both legs at once as a round trip, so the departure ride is settled before the holiday has even begun.
Arrival pickups we run at MIA only. Departures are more flexible: if your trip ends on a flight from another South Florida airport, the drop-off from Loews books just like the MIA leg — send the airline and departure time and the pickup hour is planned around it.
Pairing South Beach with a sailing? Use the same thread for PortMiami: name the ship and the sail date, and the car is timed to boarding rather than a flight.
The address is 1601 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach 33139 — the 16th Street corner of South Beach. On arrival the driver turns into the hotel’s own drive off Collins instead of pausing in the through lanes, so the bags come out at the entrance rather than beside a busy avenue.
Loews Miami Beach Hotel sets you in the middle of South Beach, the most walkable and most photographed stretch of Miami Beach. Pastel Art Deco facades, sidewalk cafes, cocktail lounges, galleries, and boutiques fill the surrounding blocks, all wrapped around a beach culture that runs from sunrise swims to late-night music. Almost any trip fits: a beach holiday, a food-led weekend, a nightlife escape, or a conference with a few free days on the end. There is more about the property on Loews Miami Beach Hotel, though in short, once you check in the neighborhood does most of the entertaining — which is exactly why a direct, single-stop arrival from the airport is worth setting up ahead.
The blocks around the hotel hold the densest cluster of restaurants, bars, and shops in all of Miami Beach. Lincoln Road’s open-air pedestrian mall, the Art Deco district, and the cafes and nightlife along Ocean Drive are all in the immediate neighborhood, on foot with no car needed all evening.
It does — an oceanfront resort with sand and the Atlantic straight behind the building, so reaching the beach is a matter of stepping out the back. That direct access is one of the main reasons guests pick this part of South Beach.
Three things set it apart from whatever transport you might cobble together after landing. One, the fare is fixed at booking: traffic, demand, weather, and a late arrival cannot touch it. Two, every driver is bilingual — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — which takes the friction out of coordinating a pickup at the end of a long international flight. Three, the vehicle is your group’s from pickup to drop-off, so the trip starts when you are ready and ends at your hotel, not someone else’s. Those three land on exactly where airport rides usually fall apart: pricing, communication, and routing.
No app, no account, nothing to download. Booking runs over WhatsApp or email: send the flight details, get a confirmation, and keep that thread open for anything that changes. On travel day the conversation you already have is your direct line to the driver and the office.
A better-coordinated, more upscale ride — a flat fare, a named driver, a pickup timed to the flight — for a good deal less overall than an Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

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.
