MIA to the Miami Beach Edition runs 11.1 miles in 31 to 33 minutes on SR-836, by black SUV or van, flat from $80 per vehicle. Bilingual driver, no surge.
Pick the size that fits your group — every figure here buys the car, the driver and the whole ride to the hotel.
It comes down to how many are traveling — each of the three is private, professionally driven and reserved for your booking alone.
When we say “shuttle,” we mean a private car — not a shared van full of strangers and not a route with stops tacked on. Pricing tracks the vehicle instead of the head, so no matter the headcount within its capacity, the whole group rides on that one figure at the top of the page.
The most direct answer is a private car booked in advance: a single vehicle, a single driver, and nothing standing between your terminal and the hotel door.
Everything is set up around when you land. You book ahead of the trip, we put you in a black SUV or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van — every one air-conditioned against the Florida heat — and once you’re down, you collect your bags and head outside. No app to fumble with at the curb, no queue, no debating the route. The driver stows the luggage, takes the shortest line over to the beach, and stops at the hotel entrance for the bell staff to take it from there. Flip the whole thing around for the ride home.
All of MIA’s terminals share one continuous building, so which airline flew you in makes no difference to the routine: wrap up at baggage claim, use the nearest exit, and the car is right at the curb outside. Wherever along the building your flight parks, the pickup plays out the same.
The meeting spot is the arrivals curb at your MIA terminal. Your booking’s curbside pickup is timed so the car is already in place as you emerge with your luggage.
Once your bags are in hand, head out and spot the black SUV or Sprinter van waiting at the curb. The driver loads it all, checks the destination, and inside a few minutes of leaving baggage claim you’re on the move.
Yes, for an optional fee. In place of the curbside wait, a greeter holding a name sign meets you inside the terminal and walks you to the car. Request it as you book — it’s popular with first-time visitors and anyone off a long-haul flight.
Your side of it doesn’t change — we follow the incoming flight in real time and re-time the pickup for free when it’s late. There’s no empty curb waiting; the car is matched to the flight you actually land on, not the one on the original schedule.
Plan on about 31 minutes off-peak and roughly 33 at peak — a remarkably narrow spread for a Miami airport run.
Even in the thick of it, you’re losing a couple of minutes, not a whole schedule. The driver watches the road that day and reroutes when something is choking the usual way in. If a check-in, a dinner booking or a meeting is on the other end, aim for the higher number and you’ll still land with margin to spare.
Yes, and generally with room left over — the fare includes one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger, and the SUV and Sprinter vans are both built around airport loads. Bringing extra or oversized pieces? Let us know ahead and we’ll verify the space or shift you into a larger van.
Yes. A child under 5 rides the first child seat free. Any seat beyond that adds a small fee we confirm at booking. Include the children’s ages with your reservation so the correct seats are fitted and secured before the vehicle ever sets off for the airport.
Small pets are welcome given advance notice over WhatsApp. They ride inside a pet carrier, so flag it when you reserve and bring the carrier along — the driver will know to expect a four-legged passenger and load accordingly.
Tolls, fuel and onboard WiFi are all built into the fare — once you reach the hotel, nothing else is collected.
Just three things can raise the figure: a pickup outside daytime hours (see the night add-on below), the optional in-terminal meet-and-greet, and any child seats past the first. Every one is optional or avoidable, and every one is agreed with you before the trip rather than sprung after.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and a pickup inside that window pays only the listed fare. Land on a red-eye or leave before sunrise and a small add-on applies:
Payment works the same on every route: simple methods, a split between booking and travel day, and returns charged as two one-ways.
Pickups start at MIA Airport and PortMiami; drop-offs stretch to almost anywhere in South Florida.
Beginning your trip at a cruise terminal? We collect you at PortMiami and run you to the Miami Beach Edition the same way we would from the airport. In reverse, the drop-off is open: back to MIA to fly out, to PortMiami on embarkation day, to a different regional airport, or to another Florida city altogether. Hand us the two ends and the date, and we fit the vehicle to the trip.
If one party turns up as two separate arrivals, book a car per flight. Each one keys to its own flight number and tracks it on its own, so the earlier group heads straight to the Edition while the later group is met on its own timing — neither pickup is held up by the other. If it’s easier, both bookings can share a single WhatsApp thread.
Yes, and most guests do exactly that — reserving both directions up front keeps your vehicle for the way back and lets us time the hotel pickup to your departure flight. The return is the same door-to-door service in reverse, from the hotel entrance to your MIA terminal.
Yes — from the moment you reserve, the car and driver are committed, even before you board. That’s what stations a particular vehicle and a particular driver at the airport for your arrival, instead of a ride requested across the city after you’ve already landed.
Simply — WhatsApp carries the whole service. You message to book, message with any changes, and on the day you reach your driver the same way. Confused by the terminal exit or can’t spot the car? One message clears it up in seconds.
Three things: a fixed fare, a bilingual driver, and a real person on your booking.
Whatever figure you confirm is what you pay — traffic, demand and the hour of your flight leave it untouched. Each driver has English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so directions, questions and plain conversation land in whichever language you like. And booking direct keeps changes easy: a shifted flight time, an extra passenger or a new drop-off is dealt with by someone who already has your reservation, not a form or a bot.
Why guests book this ride:
Good to know:
The Miami Beach Edition is a luxury oceanfront resort that pairs restored mid-century glamour with a modern, full-service beach stay.
The property’s life is mostly outside: pools fringed by palms, a straight shot to the sand with full beach service, and a spa that earns its keep after a long flight. Dining goes from easy poolside plates to destination restaurants, and down below the hotel keeps one of the city’s most famous entertainment venues, complete with bowling lanes, an ice-skating rink and a nightclub. Flip through the official hotel page for rooms and amenities, or check the Forbes Travel Guide review for an outside opinion ahead of your stay.
Yes — Mid-Beach is the quieter, resort-lined part of Miami Beach, favored by travelers who want the ocean at the door minus the late-night crowd out front. The Edition captures that exactly: buzzing inside the property, calm around it, with the bigger scene an easy reach whenever the mood strikes.
The beach comes first — the hotel opens directly onto the sand, and the oceanfront boardwalk along this stretch works as well for a morning run as an evening stroll. Beyond the grounds there’s waterfront dining and shopping, and farther down the coast the art deco architecture and nightlife that made Miami Beach famous.
A tighter, more premium setup — a fixed price, a named driver, a pickup timed to the flight — for meaningfully less overall than an Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

One reservation, one coordinated pickup, meaningfully less than a surged Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

For the outbound trip, count backward from your flight: the airline’s suggested check-in lead, the door-to-door drive above, and a bit of extra padding on holiday and event weekends when the beach fills. Take that off your departure hour and you’ve got the pickup time to book from the hotel.
Message the travel date, the flight number, the group size and which direction the pickup is by WhatsApp or email, and we confirm your vehicle, driver and pickup time. Book it the moment your flights are settled — a confirmed reservation is what keeps a car in place and waiting for each arrival.

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.
