A private Black SUV from MIA Airport to Faena Hotel Miami Beach covers 11.1 miles (17.8 km) in 31–33 minutes via the Julia Tuttle Causeway (I-195), at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans carry larger groups, and every booking runs to or from MIA Airport and Faena Hotel Miami Beach with a bilingual driver at the wheel.
Each price below is the complete door-to-door amount for a private vehicle between the MIA arrivals curb and the Faena’s front entrance:
A pre-booked private car is the most direct way to make this trip: one vehicle, one driver, zero stops. You reserve before you fly, we assign a Black SUV or a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van sized to your group, and the rest is handled for you — bags loaded at the airport, a quiet ride into Miami Beach, and a drop-off at the hotel’s front entrance. There is no line to stand in and no risk of splitting a large family or wedding party across several cars; everyone who lands together rides together. Because the booking is made in advance, the vehicle, the driver, and the pickup time are all settled before your plane ever leaves your home city, which is exactly what you want after a long flight.
Yes. An in-terminal meet and greet is available as an optional paid add-on: instead of meeting you outside, your driver comes into the terminal with a name sign and walks you from baggage claim to the vehicle. It is a popular choice for first-time visitors, older travelers, and large groups with many bags.
The ride takes 31 to 33 minutes door to door, off-peak to peak. The spread between a quiet midday run and rush hour is only about two minutes on this route, so arrival plans are easy to make with confidence — a dinner reservation at the hotel or a meeting after check-in does not need extra padding. The full 11.1 miles (17.8 km) is measured from the terminal exit to the hotel’s front drive, so the figure you see is the whole journey, not just the highway stretch. Your driver follows live traffic on the day and adjusts the routing if conditions call for it, but on this particular run the clock rarely surprises anyone.
Faena Hotel Miami Beach is an oceanfront luxury hotel and the centerpiece of the Faena District. The property is famously theatrical: gold columns and red velvet in the public spaces, a gilded mammoth skeleton displayed between the pool deck and the sand, a cabaret-style theater with dinner shows, and a full wellness house alongside the beachfront cabanas. It is as much a destination as a place to sleep, which is why many guests arrive with evening plans already booked on the property itself. Current dining, show, and spa programming is published on the official Faena Hotel Miami Beach page, and the wider brand’s hotels and residences are covered on Faena’s main site.
The surrounding Faena District is built around art and culture, with exhibition and performance spaces steps from the hotel. The beachfront boardwalk runs right behind the property for morning walks, and the neighborhood holds a relaxed mix of cafes, galleries, and beach clubs — livelier than a resort island, calmer than the nightlife blocks farther south.
Yes. Beyond airport transfers, we offer a private hourly chauffeur service with a five-hour minimum — the same vehicles and drivers, kept at your disposal for shopping, sightseeing, or a day of meetings around Miami. Ask about it when you arrange your airport pickup and we will set both up together.
A black car service matches the way the Faena does things: reserved, polished, and personal. The vehicle is booked in your name and carries only your group — no strangers, no detours to someone else’s hotel. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which makes a real difference for international guests coordinating details on the move. The rate you confirm at booking is the rate you pay; it does not climb because your flight landed at a busy hour or because it started raining. And from the moment you reserve, you hold a direct WhatsApp line to a real person — not a ticket queue — for any change, question, or special request. That combination of fixed pricing and personal contact is what regular visitors to Miami Beach come back for.
Three private vehicle tiers cover every group size on this route, and each one is reserved exclusively for your party:
The rate covers everything needed to get you from the terminal to the hotel: the vehicle, your driver, fuel, and every SunPass toll along the way — nothing is added at drop-off. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot in the vehicle, so you can message ahead, catch up on email, or let the hotel know you are minutes out.
Each passenger travels with one checked bag and one carry-on included. Bringing extra or oversized bags? Just message us on WhatsApp in advance — we will confirm the space in your vehicle or move you up to a larger van so nothing gets left at the curb.
Only three things sit outside the standard rate: pickups late at night or very early in the morning (the exact policy is in the night-rate section below), additional child seats beyond the first free one, and the optional in-terminal meet and greet. Everything else you read on this page is already included.
Yes — flight tracking is included on every MIA pickup. From the moment your plane departs, your driver follows the flight in real time and times the pickup to your actual touchdown, not the schedule printed on your ticket. You do not need to call or message when you land; the coordination happens automatically, and your direct chat thread stays open if anything on your side changes.
Your pickup simply moves with your flight. Because the driver is watching the actual arrival time, a delay of one hour or four changes nothing on your end — the car is positioned for the moment you walk out, and there is no rebooking to do.
Yes, child seats are available on every vehicle. The first seat is free for a child under 5 — just tell us the child’s age when you reserve and it will be fitted before your pickup. If your group needs more than one seat, each additional seat carries a small extra fee that we confirm with you at booking, so there are no surprises on travel day.
Payment is split so you never hand over the full amount before you travel:
Yes. Card payments run through a secure payment link rather than card numbers typed into a chat, and Zelle or Venmo transfers happen entirely inside your own banking app. Your reservation details are confirmed in writing before any money moves, so you always have a record of exactly what you booked.
Daytime service runs from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM at the listed rates. Pickups outside that window — late-night landings or early-morning departures — carry a small premium:
Most reservations come together in a few messages: choose your vehicle, share your arrival details, and you are set. The questions below cover the practical points travelers ask most before riding between MIA and the Faena — pickup logistics, pets, confirmations, and the return trip.
Your driver meets you at the curb on the arrivals level, directly outside the exit nearest your baggage claim. You receive the driver’s contact details before you land, so identifying the right vehicle takes seconds — walk out, spot the car, and your bags go straight into the back.
Our shuttle service is fully private — a Sprinter van reserved for your group alone, never a shared ride with strangers and other stops. Pricing is per vehicle, not per person: the van rates in the price list at the top of this page cover everyone on board, bags included.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice over WhatsApp. Your pet rides in its carrier inside the cabin with you, and letting us know ahead of time means the right vehicle is assigned so both the carrier and your luggage fit comfortably.
Your booking is confirmed directly over WhatsApp, person to person — not through an automated queue. The written confirmation spells out your vehicle, your rate, and your pickup time, and that same chat thread stays open as your direct line to us all the way through travel day.
Yes, every transfer runs in both directions. For departures, your driver collects you at the hotel’s front entrance and drops you at your airline’s terminal door at MIA. Many guests book the arrival and departure legs together so the whole schedule is locked in before they ever leave home.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Of course. Give us at least 24 hours’ notice and, subject to availability, we’ll adjust your pickup time.
