Private car from MIA to the Residence Inn by Marriott Fort Lauderdale SW/Miramar — 20.4 miles on the Palmetto Expressway, one flat fare from $140 per vehicle.
Each figure below buys the whole vehicle for the whole party. It is set the moment you reserve and does not climb afterwards for traffic or demand.
Three private classes cover every party size on this route. Choose by headcount and bag load, and everyone travels together in one reserved car.
Figure roughly 33 minutes with the road clear, stretching to as much as 47 in the peak hours. The gap is a matter of how full the northbound expressway is out of the airport: leave mid-morning or midday and you finish near the low end, whereas weekday rush and major event days lean toward the high one. Your driver reads the traffic live and takes the cleanest line, yet no one waves away South Florida congestion, so a range is the honest figure, not a single promise. Because your inbound flight is followed, arriving early or late just moves the pickup — timing starts when you truly reach the curb, not at some estimate set days before. When a commitment waits at the other end, build to the higher number.
The inbound flight is tracked minute by minute, so a delay re-times your curbside meeting by itself at no cost. Land ahead of schedule or well behind it and someone is waiting as you come out. A slow customs hall or a stuck baggage belt gets the same treatment — nothing to rebook, no penalty applied.
Costs that trip travelers up elsewhere are already swallowed by the per-vehicle rate. The number carries tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel, so the road tacks nothing onto the end of the trip. The curbside pickup at your terminal sits inside it too, along with the reserved vehicle and its bilingual driver. A mobile hotspot supplies onboard WiFi — plenty to reply to messages or reconfirm plans on the way into Miramar. Your standard luggage is free at one checked bag and one carry-on each. All of that is baseline; only the optional extras noted next can shift the total.
Anything extra is an optional choice you make while booking. A name-sign meet-and-greet inside the terminal layers onto the standard curbside pickup. Every child seat after the first has a small fee. And oversized or extra bags may point to a bigger vehicle, arranged before the date.
Each passenger’s 1 checked bag and 1 carry-on ride free. Bringing more than that, or something bulky? Drop us a WhatsApp before you travel and we either verify the room or shift you to a larger private van so nothing gets left. It is settled ahead of time, never sprung at the curb.
The first child seat is free for a child under 5, and any seat beyond it carries a small fee confirmed as you book. Send the kids’ ages on WhatsApp in advance and the seats are installed before the driver sets out for the airport, so the family is strapped in from the start.
Small pets are welcome if you tell us ahead on WhatsApp, riding in a pet carrier. Give notice before your travel date so the driver expects the carrier and the right vehicle is staged at the curb. A single message at booking keeps things easy for you and settled for the animal.
Every booking includes a curbside meeting at your own MIA terminal, the driver stationed at the exit as you step out with the bags. Prefer to be met inside arrivals at a name sign? That indoor greeting is an optional service added at reservation, and the driver waits in the terminal for you instead.
Your confirmation lists a window, not one exact minute, and that is deliberate. Nobody can say to the minute when a given traveller clears the belt and reaches the doors, so the driver stays put across the window rather than turning up at a single instant. It is also why there is nothing to send if your group runs twenty minutes late inside the building — the window already covered it.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM and carry no surcharge at all. Rides that begin outside that window pick up a modest after-hours addition:
Payment comes in two parts, so no large sum leaves your account up front. Venmo, Zelle, and a secure payment link all work, and cash suits nearby, close-in pickups. A 50% deposit confirms the booking and the other 50% reaches the driver on your travel day. The figure you agreed to at reservation is the figure you settle — no surge, no surprise line items, since the road costs already live in the rate.
A round trip is simply the one-way figure counted twice. Reserve both legs at once and the return pickup is scheduled ahead in the same vehicle class. The deposit-and-balance arrangement covers the entire booking, so one step holds the whole trip and the driver takes the rest on the day.
The vehicle is what you pay for, not seats. The rate-list figures cover the full group whether it is a Black SUV or a private van, and filling seats up to capacity leaves the number where it is. Five in an SUV pay precisely what a lone traveler pays for that same SUV.
Yes. Our private Sprinter vans take parties of 6 to 14 and act much like a shuttle, with one key difference: the van carries only your party. No strangers ride along and there is no departure schedule to make. The per-vehicle rate above moves the whole group from the terminal straight to the hotel entrance.
The entire job is done by one reserved door-to-door vehicle running north on the Palmetto Expressway (SR-826) from the airport into Miramar. Fit the car to the party: a Black SUV for up to 5, a private Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or the bigger van for 10 to 14. There is no app to unlock and no queue — the driver is outside your terminal as you exit, the bags go in the trunk, and the vehicle stops at the hotel entrance. With the car held for your group, the run is point to point with nothing added on the way.
The hotel is in Miramar, a suburban city in southwest Broward County a little above the Miami line. Its surroundings are quiet and residential — corporate offices, business parks, and familiar chain restaurants rather than a crowded tourist strip — which is what makes it a strong pick for business travelers and for families who want both Miami and Fort Lauderdale in range without staying downtown in either. Its extended-stay setup, with a kitchen in the room and a relaxed pace, works for longer trips. Rooms and amenities appear on the hotel’s official overview, and you can tour the building through its photo gallery before you arrive.
Miramar comes across as a planned suburb: broad roads, master-planned housing clusters, and pockets of office and warehouse space tied to the area’s logistics and corporate corridors. The evenings turn quiet and life here presumes a car — precisely why a vehicle waiting at the curb beats scrambling for a ride after a late landing.
This corner of Miramar runs on everyday convenience — shopping plazas, casual family restaurants, parks, and golf courses threaded through the nearby neighborhoods. The bigger draws across greater Miami and up the Broward coast are a comfortable drive off, so the hotel makes a reliable base for both work and leisure days.
It is — 14700 Hotel Road, in Miramar’s 33027 corner, at the end of the 20.4 miles from the terminal. List the number and the ZIP on the booking anyway, since Miramar has more than one Marriott-family property carrying that same Fort Lauderdale SW wording, and the street is what separates them.
A single private vehicle is reserved for your group, which cuts out the second pickup and its wait. The driver is bilingual — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — and that by itself eases the first ten minutes off a long flight. Your bags are lifted and loaded rather than left on the curb. Before and during the trip you message a real person on WhatsApp, so a changed plan gets a reply, not a call-center queue. The sum of it is one coordinated, accountable arrival into Miramar.
A tighter, more premium arrangement — fixed price, a named driver, a pickup timed to your flight — for a good deal less in total than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

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