MIA Airport to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fort Lauderdale Airport West is 30.0 miles in roughly 47 to 54 minutes, up the I-95 Express, from a flat $140 per car.
The rate tracks the size of the vehicle and is fixed the moment you book — take the option that suits your group and its bags.
A vehicle set aside for your group reshapes the whole arrival. No meter ticks, and the figure agreed at booking is precisely what changes hands. Your driver is bilingual, English along with Spanish or Portuguese, easing every question from kerb to lobby. Booking and changes move over direct WhatsApp, so a real person replies when your plans shift. Luggage is handled too: the team loads it at the kerb and unloads at the door, with headroom to step up to a larger private van when you message ahead.
Booking sets the whole trip going in minutes. Fit the vehicle to your group — a Black SUV up to 5, or a private Sprinter for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 — then send the flight number over WhatsApp or email. On the day the driver rolls to the kerb as you leave the terminal, so nothing has to be opened and no queue joined. Bags in, and the car pushes north from Miami up toward Davie. Because it is a straight point-to-point run, it reaches the hotel entrance without a detour or a second stop — your group, your driver, your vehicle the entire way to the lobby door. Reserve a day or two out for the easiest pickup, or ask about a same-day quote if plans move.
Your driver waits kerbside at MIA as you walk out with the bags. Nothing has to be launched and no rideshare lot needs a hike — the included pickup brings the car to the arrivals kerb. Rather be met inside? A name-board greeting is a paid add-on set up at booking. For the kerbside route, pass along the flight details and a WhatsApp number, and the exact spot is confirmed by message once wheels are down. On the way back to MIA, collection is at the hotel entrance at the agreed hour. One clear meeting point at each end keeps anyone from circling the terminal in search of a car.
Headcount sets the vehicle, and each choice is private — held for your party only. Choose on the number of travelers and their bags, and drop us a line if you fall between sizes so we can settle the right fit.
In short: the ride itself and its running costs, gathered into one number rather than tacked on at the end. The breakdown follows just below.
One figure absorbs the trip’s running costs. SunPass charges, tolls, and gas all live within the price, so the roads you cover add nothing extra. A hotspot in the car supplies WiFi, keeping everyone online the whole way to the lobby.
Only a few extras sit beyond the base fare. A child under 5 rides the first seat free; each additional seat runs a small fee agreed at booking. Small pets may come along given prior WhatsApp notice and a carrier. Everything else in the standard ride is already in.
The split means the full amount is never demanded up front. Half secures the booking, and the driver receives the rest on trip day. Money moves by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link, with cash fine on close-in local pickups. Two directions come to twice the one-way, entered as one reservation across both legs.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM carry no surcharge. Trips outside that window add a small after-hours amount, once per trip by vehicle type.
Figure on 47 to 54 minutes between doors, quiet hours through busy. Those 30.0 miles (48.2 km) head north from Miami into Broward County, where the hotel stands on Fort Lauderdale’s west side beside the airport. An easy midday puts you near 47; the late-afternoon rush tacks on only a few along the express lanes. Weekend corridor traffic tends to beat weekday peaks, though not by much. Set aside roughly an hour each way to MIA Airport and you reach the lobby unhurried. The distance and the base time do not move — only the traffic around them slides within that band.
These come up most often on this route, answered in full.
Those tolled lanes running up the spine of I-95 are not somewhere a car slips in on a whim. Access is limited to set entry points, and barriers wall the lanes off from ordinary traffic for long runs at a time. The choice to take them is therefore made a mile or two ahead, judged on how the highway is flowing right then — one of the calls a good chauffeur is there to make.
Your side does not change. The driver follows the inbound live and slides the pickup to the new landing time, free of charge. Whether you touch down early or hours late, the vehicle is still at the kerb as you come out — nothing to rebook and no surge.
The standard is 1 checked bag and 1 carry-on for every passenger. Oversized or extra pieces are fine — send a WhatsApp note first and we confirm the room or size you up to a larger private van. Sorting the space in advance beats leaving anything at the kerb.
The vehicle. The group rides on the one flat price attached to the SUV or van you pick, be it a pair or a packed van. More passengers, up to capacity, never raise the figure — the car is what you book, and its seats are included.
What we run is a private, direct ride — a single vehicle from the MIA kerb to the hotel, with no transfers, stops, or timetables to make. Rather than changing lines while dragging luggage, the group sinks into a reserved SUV or private van and travels door to door. It is the least fussy way to cover the 30-mile trip north.
Yes. Book both legs in one reservation and the same private vehicle returns you to MIA on your departure day, timed to your flight. The return is point-to-point from the hotel entrance, exactly like the arrival. Give us your flight times and we set the pickup so you reach the terminal with comfortable margin.
The hotel holds the western edge of Fort Lauderdale, in a quiet, suburban stretch of Davie near the airport corridor. The area is practical and low-key: office parks, chain and local restaurants, and fast highway access rather than a busy tourist center. That makes it an easy base for business travelers, families lining up a cruise, and anyone after a calmer night away from the beach crowds while staying near the region’s main roads. From here the Atlantic beaches, downtown Fort Lauderdale, and the cruise port are all a short drive, with the airport right next door.

A tighter, more premium arrangement — flat fare, named driver, pickup timed to your flight — for a total well below Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Email: [email protected] | Phone/WhatsApp: +1 (305) 497-0440Guests who use this district as a base before a cruise can book the hotel-to-port leg on its own, the same way the airport legs are set up. What we need differs, though: the ship’s name and the sail date rather than a flight number, since the car is timed against the boarding window printed on the cruise documents instead of a departure gate.

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.

Domestic flights: up to 60 minutes after arrival
International flights: 120 minutes of complimentary wait 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.

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.
