Private ride from MIA to Residence Inn Miami Beach Surfside, 11.1 miles via I-95 in about 31 minutes, flat $80 per vehicle. Book by WhatsApp.
Each of the three is flat, charged to the car and not the head, set at reservation, and already holding the fuel and the tolls.
Since nothing is shared, whichever tier you take is entirely yours. Match the cabin to headcount and bags, then reserve it.
Each rider’s checked bag and carry-on ride within the fare, which suits most arrivals easily. Have extra or oversized pieces? A message before the trip lets us verify the room in your car or lift you to a larger private van. Say so early and the right vehicle is standing by.
Clear roads put it near 31 minutes; the busiest hours push it to about 33. The bulk of those 11.1 miles run I-95 before the route bends east for the Surfside oceanfront. The striking thing is how tight the peak-to-off-peak spread stays — two minutes or so — because the corridor keeps moving even when loaded, unlike the long cross-county hauls. Commuter waves morning and late afternoon, plus weekend beach traffic, are what now and then take it to the top of the range. Your driver judges the day and holds the cleanest line, so the estimate stands whether you land at noon or mid-rush. And with a flat rate, none of the extra minutes reach your total; there’s no meter running.
Leaving the terminal loop, the car picks up SR-112, the Airport Expressway, a brief spur joining MIA’s roads to I-95 north, and the interstate then carries the middle of the trip. Two highways and one merge between them cover nearly the whole map of this run.
Tolls, SunPass, and fuel already live inside the fare, so the figure at booking is the full price with nothing appended at the end. Inside the cabin there’s a mobile-hotspot WiFi for settling in or sending a message. Each rider’s standard checked bag and carry-on ride included, and the curbside meeting is part of the fare, not a surcharge. Whatever a clean door-to-door run calls for is bundled into that single per-car number.
A brief list of options sits outside the base fare. A name-sign meeting inside the terminal is a paid extra rather than the standard curbside arrangement. One child seat for a child under 5 is free, and every seat after adds a fee agreed at booking. Trips outside daytime hours take the night rate below.
Anything landing outside the 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM daytime window carries a modest addition, sized by which vehicle you booked.
Settling up stays simple and secure. Venmo, Zelle, and a secure payment link all work, while cash covers neighboring, close-in pickups. Two legs cost twice one, handled as one booking across both directions.
Per vehicle, never per person. SUV or van, the group travels on the one flat price above. Adding riders within a vehicle’s capacity keeps the cost the same, which is what makes a private transfer such value for families and groups.
A private van meets the same need a shuttle search implies, only it’s held for your group — no shared seats, no extra stops. The cost is the flat per-vehicle rate above, set by van size for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14, tolls and fuel already accounted for.
Small pets can come along, provided you flag it over WhatsApp ahead and bring a pet carrier. Carrying more than the checked-bag-and-carry-on allowance, or something outsized? Reach out before the trip and we’ll confirm the space or move you into a larger private van. Notice early keeps the right vehicle ready.
Curbside, just outside your arrival terminal, in position as you come through with your bags. That curbside meeting is the standard included pickup. Rather be met inside by someone with a name sign? The in-terminal meet-and-greet is an optional paid add-on set up when you book.
Nothing moves on your side. The inbound flight is watched live and the curbside meeting re-times to your true landing, so early or late sorts itself out. With a flat rate pinned at booking, a delayed flight neither adds a charge nor forces a re-book.
Booking the car ahead, so it’s at the curb as you step out, is the least fuss. One reservation does it, and the size is your call: a Black SUV for up to 5, a private Sprinter for 6 to 9, or the larger private van for 10 to 14. With the inbound flight followed live, the vehicle is outside your MIA terminal when you exit — nothing to launch, no queue behind, no price to dispute past baggage claim. The driver handles the luggage, checks the destination with you, and makes for Surfside without side stops. Reserving is one WhatsApp message or email holding your flight number, arrival time, party size, and bag count; the vehicle and flat fare are locked well ahead. Heading back to MIA, the same setup simply runs in reverse.
Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Beach Surfside is set in a quiet residential oceanside town a little up the coast from the busier reaches of Miami Beach. It’s extended-stay, its suites fitted with full kitchens, which is why families and longer trips gravitate here. Outside, the mood is easy and everything’s on foot: a broad sandy Atlantic beach, unhurried local restaurants and coffee spots, and the upscale Bal Harbour shopping district right beside it. Quiet streets and simple beach access replace nightlife noise, and that trade is precisely why many passengers choose Surfside over South Beach. There’s fuller detail on the hotel’s official overview, plus a rundown of things to do around the hotel worth a look before arrival.
It’s built for beach-led, low-stress stays — families, couples, and longer trips that actually use the suite kitchens and a calmer street scene. Days revolve around the ocean, unfussy meals, and the Bal Harbour shopping next door, with South Beach energy a short ride away when you want it rather than under your window.
A quick round of what comes up before booking this Surfside run — pricing, luggage, delays, and where the driver meets you.
Yes, and it’s the way we’d advise. Send your flight number, arrival time, party size, and bag count over WhatsApp or email, and the vehicle plus the locked flat fare are confirmed before you set off. Booking early is what secures the right vehicle for your group and puts a driver on your flight for the day.
The quote is what you hand over, since the fare is set at booking and won’t move for rush hour, rain, or demand. The vehicle is your group’s alone, so no shared cabin and no detours to collect others. Drivers are bilingual in English along with Spanish or Portuguese, keeping arrival logistics easy straight off a long flight. Oversized items are handled whenever you mention them beforehand. Bookings and changes go over direct WhatsApp to a real person, not into an anonymous queue, so a question is answered fast. What comes of it is a calmer, better-run arrival into Surfside than assembling transport at the curb once you’re down.
A tighter, more upscale arrangement — one agreed fare, a named driver, a pickup keyed to your flight — for a total noticeably below Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

One reservation, one coordinated meeting point, and a total noticeably below an Uber Black or Lyft Lux running at surge.

Suite guests digging in for a week or more tend to arrive with real baggage — coolers, strollers, a case each and then some. When the pile outgrows the party, take the 6-to-9 van even though your headcount alone would fit the SUV; the step up swaps spare seats for cargo room and keeps every bag in one vehicle. The same reasoning applies in reverse on checkout day, when a long stay’s haul rides back to MIA with you.
