A private Black SUV or van from MIA to Grand Beach Hotel Surfside via I-95 and SR-836, roughly 5 to 30 minutes by the hour you travel, one flat fare from $80.
All three rates below are flat, and each one pays for the vehicle instead of the seat — choose the size your group needs and the whole party rides on that number.
Everything here is private and set aside for your party alone; base the choice on how many are riding and how much they carry.
Every passenger is allowed 1 checked bag and 1 carry-on within the rate, and we size the vehicle to the group so nothing gets squeezed. Carrying extra or bulky items? A WhatsApp message ahead of time lets us confirm the fit or upgrade you to a larger private van.
Expect drive time anywhere in the 5 to 30 minute range, with your departure hour accounting for almost all of the difference. During the lulls — dawn, midday, or later at night — it clings to the low end as the coastal highways run clear. Catch the morning or evening rush and traffic on I-95 and the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) drives it up toward 30, with a downpour or a major event capable of adding still more. Your bill is untouched by any of it, because the vehicle rate is fixed: bumper-to-bumper and wide-open cost the same. Knowing the local approach into Surfside, your driver takes whichever route is moving that day and gets you to the hotel as directly as conditions allow.
Not far at all. Terminal to hotel door, the route is 15.6 miles (25.2 km), and the figure holds whichever way you travel. Most of it is limited-access highway, with only the final leg heading north on Collins Avenue through Surfside’s short blocks.
One rate covers the full door-to-door run, and nothing hides beneath it. The price absorbs tolls, SunPass, and fuel, so whatever is confirmed at booking is what you actually pay. On board, a mobile hotspot keeps WiFi running for the trip. Your group has the vehicle privately, with luggage room scaled to the number of passengers.
Just a handful of optional items land outside the base fare. A driver meeting you inside the terminal with a name sign is a paid extra, separate from the standard curbside pickup. Any child seat beyond the first carries a fee, and trips outside daytime hours pick up the late-night addition described next.
Daytime, with no surcharge, spans 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Fall outside that band and a small late-night addition applies over the flat fare.
Payment is split and easygoing. You can use Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and cash is welcome on nearby or close-in pickups. A deposit locks the booking and the fare, then the driver takes the balance on travel day. With everything agreed up front, no surprise appears when you pull up.
Both legs total precisely double a single one-way for the vehicle you picked — no special return rate, disguised or plain. Book them at once and we arrange the return pickup at Grand Beach Hotel Surfside for your chosen date and time, at that same locked per-vehicle figure.
Half of it. A 50% deposit books your vehicle and holds the fare, and the driver collects the remaining 50% on trip day. It keeps what you lay out early modest while still reserving the car and the price.
By car, not by head. Whether you take the SUV or a private van, the group rides on the one flat figure shown up in the pricing section — adding passengers, right up to the vehicle’s limit, changes nothing about what you pay.
Parties of 6 to 14 get the private Sprinter van in the shuttle’s place — yours alone, never pooled — at the flat per-vehicle price in the pricing section above. A single booking carries everyone, and the fare stands whatever the roads do.
Because the driver has your flight number, the pickup keys to when you are truly on the ground rather than the timetable. Step out of the terminal and the car is already at the curb, so you simply walk over and leave. No rideshare queue, no hunting for a pickup zone.
Right at the curb outside your MIA terminal exit, waiting as you come out with the bags. If being met inside by someone with a name sign suits you better, that in-terminal meet-and-greet is an optional paid add-on you set up at booking.
Not for you. We follow the inbound flight live and reset the curbside pickup to your genuine landing, with no penalty on the delay. Clear the terminal, walk out, and the reserved car is sitting there already.
Absolutely, and it means the whole thing is squared away mid-flight. Send the flight and group size, confirm the vehicle, pay the deposit — the driver and the flat fare are locked ahead of time, leaving nothing to sort out on arrival.
Three, and that is it: pass along the flight and group size, pick the SUV or the private van, and lay down the deposit that holds the slot. We verify the drop-off address at Grand Beach Hotel Surfside and manage the rest. After that the fare is frozen.
The easiest path is a direct private transfer arranged before departure. You match the vehicle to your party — Black SUV for up to 5, or a private Sprinter van for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 — and one driver takes everybody from the terminal to the hotel with no side trips or added stops. Nothing to open on arrival, no car to hail; the assignment is set the instant you confirm. Point to point, you load once at MIA and climb out at the Grand Beach Hotel Surfside lobby. Families, beach parties, and business guests alike land a first and last leg they can plan around.
Grand Beach Hotel Surfside occupies a quiet, walkable oceanfront town that feels far more residential than the livelier Miami Beach districts down the coast. The Atlantic does the heavy lifting: broad sand, a relaxed beach-town tempo, and easy strolls past low-rise rows of cafes, bakeries, and small shops. It fits guests who want sea air and good eating minus the after-dark intensity of the entertainment strips, while the wider Miami Beach orbit stays within reach for shopping or a night out. There is more on the resort in Surfside, and current stay packages reward a look before you travel.
Surfside comes off as a compact, family-leaning beach town — residential and purposely low-key. Polished and upscale, yes, but truly walkable, with short blocks, local eateries, and sand you can reach on foot, a world apart from the packed energy of the bigger beach districts close by.
A typical day circles the beach, ocean walks, and the cafes and shopfronts along the town’s main avenue. Add relaxed meals, a little boutique browsing, and simple access to the broader Miami Beach area for retail or an evening out, and the whole thing stays within a tidy, walkable footprint.
Quick responses to the things guests most want cleared up before riding from MIA out to Surfside are woven through this page.
The vehicle we dispatch is your group’s and nobody else’s — never pooled, never shared. Its rate is flat and set at booking, so rush hour, a late daytime departure, or a demand spike leaves your total exactly where it was. Bilingual in English plus Spanish or Portuguese, the drivers make setting up a pickup or handling a late change simple. Bookings and updates run over WhatsApp to a live person, not a ticket queue, so a delayed flight or a changed drop-off address is a single quick message.
A tighter, more premium arrangement — one agreed fare, a named driver, a pickup keyed to your flight — for a total well under Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Yes — with advance WhatsApp notice and a carrier for the trip. Flag it at booking so the driver is ready and the right vehicle is assigned, and nothing has to be improvised once you reach Grand Beach Hotel Surfside.
We can. The first seat for a child under 5 is free, and each additional seat carries a fee confirmed at booking. Send the ages and how many seats ahead of time so the driver has them installed before pickup.
Your reservation address is 9449 Collins Avenue, Surfside, FL 33154. Collins numbering tracks the cross streets, which puts the hotel near 94th Street, up in the mid-90s blocks at the town’s northern end. Paste that address into the WhatsApp thread for any separate arrival or luggage question, and keep in mind the car ends at the hotel entrance off Collins rather than a corner nearby — a real help after dark, when nobody wants to be scouting for a meeting point.

Certainly. Give us a minimum of 24 hours’ notice and, availability permitting, we’ll shift your pickup time.

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.
