Book a private SUV from MIA to the Residence Inn in Sunny Isles Beach: 17.6 miles up I-95, one flat fare from $140 per vehicle, reserved in minutes on WhatsApp.
Every figure below buys the whole vehicle rather than a seat, so the group rides on a single number. Match the class to your headcount:
Three private classes serve this run, each reserved for your party alone:
Give us the headcount and we assign the vehicle that suits the group and its luggage.
As you step out of baggage claim, the driver is already waiting curbside beside a reserved black SUV or private van — nothing to summon on an app, no queue, no searching a garage. Would you rather be met inside the terminal at a name sign? That in-terminal greeting is an optional extra you flag when booking.
Those 17.6 miles (28.4 km) run about 44 minutes when the road is clear and edge toward 53 when it fills. I-95 carries most of the trip, and its volume shifts hour to hour. Quietest windows tend to be early mornings and mid-evenings; weekday rush hours and downtown event traffic push you to the higher figure. The driver knows the corridor and the airport exits and reads the day’s conditions for the cleanest line. Aim for the 44-minute off-peak number where you can, and add a small cushion for a late-afternoon landing when the delays are worst. Distance and route never move — only traffic decides where in the range you finish.
Weekday morning and late-afternoon peaks bring the biggest slowdowns, along with holiday and event traffic near downtown Miami — those are the conditions that stretch the ride toward 53 minutes. Mid-morning, early afternoon, and the later evening usually track close to the 44-minute off-peak figure, so they are the simplest windows to plan against.
We watch your inbound flight in real time, so an early or delayed touchdown is folded in automatically — no rebooking, no charge for the wait. The pickup shifts to your genuine arrival, and the driver is curbside when you walk out, whatever your schedule ends up doing.
One checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger rides free, and both the black SUV and the private vans are built for that load. Bringing more than that, or something oversized? Send us a WhatsApp message before the trip and we confirm the space or move you up to a bigger van so it all fits with room to spare.
Small pets travel in a carrier when you give advance notice on WhatsApp. The first child seat is free for a child under five, and any additional seats are added for a small fee agreed at booking. Tell us what you need beforehand and the vehicle is set before pickup.
Extended-stay suites tend to draw extended-stay packing, and that shifts the vehicle math. A family in for several weeks — or someone arriving on assignment with boxes and spare duffels — usually hauls more than a short getaway. For those trips, book the 6-to-9 Sprinter even with a party of four or five: the open floor swallows the overflow instead of stacking bags across laps.
The charges that ambush other riders are already built in. Every toll and SunPass fee on the route, plus all fuel, sits inside the price you booked, so nothing gets collected mid-drive. Onboard WiFi runs from a mobile hotspot — enough to message ahead, share a live location, or open your reservation on the move. Driver, vehicle, and running costs all live in the one rate. Anything beyond an ordinary trip — extra seats, oversized bags, an off-hours pickup — is listed separately below, which is how the number you agreed at booking stays intact on a normal ride.
A short set of optional items falls outside the flat rate. An in-terminal meet-and-greet — driver waiting inside behind a name sign instead of at the curb — is a paid add-on. Oversized or additional bags can be arranged for a separate, pre-agreed amount, and pickups outside daytime hours carry an after-hours charge. Each one is confirmed before your trip.
Pickups from 7 AM to 9 PM carry no surcharge. A trip that starts before 7 AM or after 9 PM adds a modest after-hours amount, set by the vehicle:
The total is split in two so nothing is due in full up front, and several simple methods work:
Cash works for neighboring, close-in pickups and goes straight to the driver. Most airport transfers instead open with a deposit by Venmo, Zelle, or the secure link, and the balance is settled on trip day. If cash suits your pickup, note it on WhatsApp when you book and we confirm it.
The private airport shuttle out to Sunny Isles Beach is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, and it is priced by the vehicle rather than the head — so the group travels on the single flat fare from the list above. Need the return leg too? A round trip runs at double the one-way for the same van, with nothing tacked on per person.
Sunny Isles Beach runs as a slim strip served by one through artery, Collins Avenue, with the hotel towers opening their entrance drives straight off it. Your driver turns off the avenue into the Residence Inn’s own drive to unload, so bags come out beside the lobby doors rather than on a traffic lane.
Residence Inn Miami Sunny Isles Beach Hotel is an extended-stay Marriott property in Sunny Isles Beach, a slim oceanfront city on a barrier island in northeast Miami-Dade. Full kitchens in the suites suit longer visits, families, and anyone wanting space to spread out. The surrounding district reads as gleaming high-rise condos facing the Atlantic, wide public beaches, and an unhurried resort pace rather than downtown pressure. Suite types, rates, and amenities are set out on the official Residence Inn Sunny Isles Beach hotel page, and local outings can be mapped through a local guide to Sunny Isles Beach. Beachfront calm sits beside neighboring dining and shopping, making it a comfortable base for a vacation, a move, or work.
Sunny Isles Beach sits on a narrow barrier island between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway, marked by its line of modern oceanfront towers and broad, walkable sand. The feel is calm and residential — a draw for families and long-stay visitors — with a steady sea breeze and shoreline access a short step from the hotel.
The beach sets the rhythm — swimming, long shoreline walks, oceanfront parks within reach. Off the sand there is casual and upscale dining, boutiques, larger shopping close by, and watersports out on the coast. It makes an easy setting for a relaxed beach break or a comfortable base between meetings.
Public transit between the airport and Sunny Isles Beach does run, but it means several connections, transfers, and a far longer, less predictable trip while you manage your bags. The private transfer trades all of that for one reserved vehicle running straight from the terminal to the hotel entrance, on your schedule rather than a fixed timetable.
A private transfer is the most direct way to move to or from MIA and the Residence Inn Sunny Isles Beach. Land, walk past the rideshare line, and the driver is already curbside in a reserved vehicle. From the airport the route runs north on I-95 and the Airport Expressway toward the coast, covering the full distance without connections or detours. Up to five passengers take the black SUV; groups of six to fourteen take a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. The booking is fixed ahead with your flight number and drop-off, and the car is paired to your arrival. Vehicle, driver, and pickup time are all locked in before you fly, so you step off the plane and ride straight to the hotel entrance.
Send your flight number, arrival date and time, passenger count, and the hotel as the drop-off. Mention ahead if a small pet is coming or a child seat is needed. With the flight number on file, the driver lines the curbside pickup up with your real landing.
Every reservation places a private vehicle at your group’s disposal — never a shared or pooled trip beside strangers. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English alongside Spanish or Portuguese, which eases the arrival after a long flight. The fare is flat and fixed the moment you book: rush-hour demand, a holiday weekend, or congestion cannot raise it, so what you agree to is what you pay.
Tighter coordination and a more upscale ride — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — for far less than an Uber Black or Lyft Lux total.
