A private transfer from MIA Airport to Casa Faena Hotel runs about 15 to 25 minutes by Black SUV or private van via the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. The ride is door to door, to or from MIA Airport and Casa Faena Hotel, with a bilingual driver who tracks your flight and meets you curbside in Mid-Beach.
Every fare below is a flat, per-vehicle rate for a private transfer between MIA Airport and Casa Faena Hotel — locked when you book, with no surge.
Booking a private transfer is the most direct way to reach Casa Faena Hotel. Choose your vehicle by group size — a Black SUV for up to 5 travelers, or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14. Send your flight number and hotel details when you reserve, and your driver is assigned to your group alone. After you land, the driver is already watching your arrival and waits at the curb, then loads your bags and drives you straight to the hotel entrance in Mid-Beach. There is no line to join, no app to refresh, and no second stop for other passengers along the way. It is the simplest path from the gate to your room.
Message us on WhatsApp or email with your date, pickup time, passenger count, and flight number. We reply with the vehicle that fits your group and confirm the flat fare. Once your deposit is in, the driver and vehicle are reserved for your exact date and time.
A private car gives you one vehicle reserved for your group and nobody else. Your fare is a flat rate locked at booking, so it never moves with demand, the time of day, or traffic on the way in. Your driver is bilingual — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — which makes the first ride after a long flight simple. You reach us directly by WhatsApp before and during the trip, so any change to your plans goes to a real person, not a queue. There is no shared ride and no pooling: the SUV or private van carries only the people on your booking. Your luggage is loaded for you, and the route runs straight from the airport to the hotel without detours. It is a calmer, more predictable arrival than improvising at the curb.
The drive takes about 15 to 25 minutes under normal conditions. Off-peak, in the quieter mid-morning and evening windows, the trip sits at the lower end of that range. During morning and late-afternoon rush, heavier traffic between the airport and Miami Beach can push it toward the upper end. Because your fare is fixed per vehicle, a slower-than-usual drive never changes what you pay — the traffic is our problem, not yours. We still suggest a comfortable buffer when you have a time-sensitive plan after arrival, such as a dinner reservation or an event. Your driver knows the fastest live route and adjusts to whatever the roads are doing that day.
Yes. In the busiest morning and evening periods, the same trip can run several minutes longer than it does off-peak, simply because the roads carry more cars. Your flat per-vehicle fare stays exactly the same, and your driver reroutes live to keep any delay as small as possible.
Casa Faena Hotel sits in Mid-Beach, the stretch of Miami Beach along Collins Avenue between the busy energy of South Beach and the quieter resorts to the north. The hotel is a restored Mediterranean Revival building, intimate and design-forward, part of the wider Faena cultural district known for its art, architecture, and beachfront. Step outside and you are within easy reach of the sand, oceanfront promenades, and a calendar of dining and cultural happenings. The neighborhood mixes boutique character with the wide Atlantic beach, so guests get the ocean without the crowds of the south end. You can read more about the boutique Casa Faena hotel and the surrounding Faena District in Miami Beach on the official sites.
Mid-Beach centers on the Atlantic beach, with oceanfront walking paths, swimming, and sunbathing right outside. The Faena District nearby is known for its art installations, theater, and restaurants, while Collins Avenue offers strolling, cafes, and easy access to the wider Miami Beach scene of galleries, shops, and nightlife.
From Mid-Beach you can move easily into the South Beach area for its Art Deco district and nightlife, or head north toward the calmer beach neighborhoods. Downtown Miami and the Brickell area sit across the bay for business and dining. Your driver can also take you onward to any of these on a future booking.
Your flat rate covers the private vehicle, the assigned driver, and the full door-to-door ride. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built into the price, so there is nothing to settle on the road. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, so you can get back online the moment you sit down. The standard luggage allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, loaded for you by the driver. The included airport pickup is curbside — your driver is ready where you step outside the terminal. Everything you need for a smooth arrival is part of the quoted fare, with no hidden line items added afterward.
A few optional items sit outside the base fare. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on you can request. Trips outside daytime hours add a night surcharge, and a round trip simply costs double the one-way fare. Everything listed as included stays part of your flat per-vehicle price.
Yes. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, riding in a pet carrier. For families, the first child seat is free for a child under 5; any additional seats carry a small fee we confirm when you book. Tell us your needs ahead of time and we set the vehicle up before pickup.
Payment is flexible and direct. You can pay by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link we send you, and cash is accepted for nearby, close-in pickups. The fare you see is per vehicle, not per person, so the whole group travels for one price. There are no booking fees layered on top — the deposit and the balance add up to exactly the quoted rate. Once your deposit is in, your vehicle and driver are reserved for your date and time, and you can reach us by WhatsApp if anything changes.
A round trip is simply double the one-way fare — one charge for the airport pickup and one for the return. You secure any booking with a 50% deposit, paid by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link, then hand the other 50% to your driver on trip day. Cash works for close-in pickups.
Pick the vehicle that fits your group — every option is private, reserved for your booking alone.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips that fall outside that window carry a small night surcharge, shown below by vehicle.
Your driver meets you curbside at MIA, ready where you step out of the terminal after collecting your bags. If you prefer to be met inside with a name sign at baggage claim, an in-terminal meet-and-greet is available as an optional paid add-on you arrange when booking. Either way, your driver is there for you.
Nothing changes on your end. Your driver tracks your inbound flight in real time and adjusts the pickup automatically, so a delayed or early landing is handled for you at no extra charge. Your flat fare stays the same. Just travel — your ride is re-timed to match when you actually land.
Yes. The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and your driver loads everything for you. If you have extra or oversized bags, just message us on WhatsApp in advance — we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van so everything fits comfortably.
We charge per vehicle, not per person. The flat rate above covers the entire group up to that vehicle’s capacity — 5 in the SUV, up to 9 or 14 in the private vans — so adding passengers within capacity never raises the price. One booking, one fare for everyone riding together.
Public buses serve Miami, but reaching Mid-Beach from the airport usually means transfers and a walk at the end, with luggage in tow. Our private transfer skips all of that: one direct, door-to-door ride from MIA straight to the hotel entrance, with your bags loaded and a driver waiting for you.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
