Private MIA-to-Casa Faena Hotel ride in Mid-Beach: 12.4 miles in 15-25 minutes, black SUV or van, flat from $80 per vehicle, door to door.
Each figure here belongs to the vehicle, not the passenger, agreed when you book and never recalculated later for demand or hour.
Take the tier that fits your party — all three are held for your booking and no one else’s.
Yes. Standard is a checked bag and a carry-on per passenger, all of it loaded for you by the chauffeur. Travelling with extra or oversized pieces? A WhatsApp message before the day lets us confirm the space or move you to a larger private van, so nobody rides with a case on their knees.
Per vehicle. That flat figure above carries the whole group to the vehicle’s limit — 5 in the SUV, up to 9 or 14 in the private vans — so adding another passenger within the limit raises nothing. One booking, one price, everyone together.
Terminal to hotel is 12.4 miles, or 19.9 kilometres — a short run for a city this spread out, and a fixed one. Whatever the traffic dreams up on the day, that number holds.
The fare tied to it holds as well. It was set against your destination and vehicle, not the odometer or the clock, so those miles cost the same at six in the morning as at six in the evening — the after-hours surcharge above being the one line that ever moves.
In ordinary conditions, figure about 15 to 25 minutes. Ride mid-morning or in the evening, when the roads ease, and you tend to hit the low end. The morning and late-afternoon rush thickens traffic between the airport and Miami Beach and nudges you toward the high end. Your chauffeur watches the live route and adapts to whatever the roads are doing, so any delay is our problem, not yours. Still, if something time-sensitive waits at the other end — a dinner booking, an event — leave a little margin when you set the pickup.
It can. Across the busiest morning and evening stretches the same trip runs a few minutes longer than off-peak, simply because more cars share the road. Your chauffeur reroutes on the fly to keep that gap as small as conditions permit.
A private transfer is the straightest line from the terminal to Casa Faena Hotel. Pick by group size — a Black SUV for up to 5, or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 — and give us the flight number and hotel details at booking. From there the vehicle is your party’s for the trip. You land, walk out, your bags are loaded, and the car makes straight for the hotel entrance in Mid-Beach. No line to stand in, no app to keep refreshing, no waiting while someone else is picked up en route. It is the plainest path there is from gate to room.
Buses do run across Miami, but getting to Mid-Beach from the airport on them usually means at least one transfer and a walk at the far end with your bags. A private transfer strips all that out: a single door-to-door run from MIA to the hotel entrance, luggage loaded for you, a chauffeur already waiting when you step out.
Curbside at MIA, waiting where you exit the terminal once you have your bags. If your group would sooner be met inside at baggage claim by someone holding a name sign, that in-terminal meet-and-greet is an optional paid add-on set at booking. Either way, someone is there for you.
Nothing shifts on your side. The chauffeur tracks the inbound flight live and moves the pickup automatically, so an early or delayed landing costs you nothing and needs no rebooking. Just travel — the collection re-times to whenever the wheels actually touch down.
The fare buys the vehicle, the assigned chauffeur, and the full door-to-door ride. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are folded in, so there is nothing to square out on the road. A mobile hotspot supplies onboard WiFi, putting you back online the moment you sit down. The standard allowance is a checked bag and a carry-on per passenger, loaded for you. Airport collection is curbside, right where you leave the terminal. What was quoted is what you pay, nothing appended later.
Only a few, and none turn up as a surprise. A name-sign meet-and-greet inside the terminal can be requested as a paid add-on. Trips outside daytime hours take a night surcharge. And a round trip is simply two one-way fares. Everything marked included stays within your flat per-vehicle price.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no addition. Trips outside that window take a small night surcharge, laid out below by vehicle.
Yes to both. Small pets ride with advance notice on WhatsApp and a proper carrier. On the family side, one seat for a child under 5 is free, and each seat after it adds a small fee settled at booking. Flag what you need in advance and the car is prepared before it leaves for the airport.
Payment is direct and flexible. Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link we send all work, and cash is accepted on neighboring, close-in pickups. Nothing is stacked on as a booking fee — deposit plus balance comes to exactly the quoted rate, no more. Once the deposit lands, your vehicle and chauffeur are held for that date and time, and WhatsApp stays open if the plan shifts.
A return is simply two fares — one for the airport collection, one for the run back. Any booking is held with a 50% deposit by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link, with the other 50% handed to your chauffeur on travel day. Cash covers close-in pickups.
Reach us by WhatsApp or email carrying the travel date, the pickup time, how many are riding, and the flight number. Back comes a suitable vehicle and a confirmed fare. As soon as the deposit is in, that chauffeur and car are locked to your precise slot.
The Faena name sits over more than one address on this stretch of Collins Avenue, and a chauffeur given only a brand can reach the right district but the wrong door. Put 3500 Collins Avenue in the booking message beside the hotel name and the ambiguity is gone before anyone leaves the airport.
The habit pays off on any Miami Beach reservation. Collins Avenue runs the length of the island through South Beach and Mid-Beach alike, so a street number is always worth more to the driver than a district name.
Casa Faena Hotel occupies Mid-Beach, the run of Miami Beach along Collins Avenue between the clamor of South Beach and the calmer resorts to the north. The building is a restored Mediterranean Revival property, small and design-driven, and it belongs to the wider Faena cultural district the area is known for — art, architecture, and the beach itself. Step out and the sand, the oceanfront promenades, and a full calendar of dining and cultural events are all near. The neighbourhood keeps its boutique feel while opening onto the wide Atlantic beach, which is how guests get the ocean without the crush of the south end. There is more about the boutique Casa Faena hotel and the surrounding Faena District in Miami Beach on the official sites.
Mid-Beach life orbits the Atlantic: waterside walking paths, swimming, and long stretches of sand right outside the door. The neighbouring Faena District adds art installations, theatre, and restaurants, while Collins Avenue itself is good for wandering, coffee, and easy reach of the galleries, shops, and nightlife of the wider Miami Beach.
A quick run south drops you in South Beach for the Art Deco blocks and the late-night scene; head north instead and the calmer beach neighbourhoods open up. Over the bay sit Downtown Miami and Brickell for meetings and dining. Any of these can be a later booking with the same chauffeur.
A private car is one vehicle held for your group and no one else — nothing shared, nothing pooled, only the names on your booking in the cabin. The chauffeur is bilingual, working English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which makes that first ride after a long flight far easier. You reach us directly on WhatsApp before and during the trip, so a change of plan goes to a real person rather than a queue. Your bags are loaded for you and the route runs straight from the airport to the hotel with nothing slipped in. It is a calmer, more predictable arrival than gambling at the curb.
A cleaner, more premium setup — a locked figure, a chauffeur known by name, and a meet tied to your flight — for well below what an Uber Black or Lyft Lux runs.

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.

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.
