A private transfer covers the 11.9 miles (19.2 km) from MIA Airport to Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach in about 27–33 minutes via the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), in a Black SUV at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. We run private rides to or from MIA Airport and Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach, with a bilingual driver and your inbound flight tracked from the moment it lands.
The fare is set per vehicle and locked at booking, so the number you see is the number you pay — pick the vehicle that fits your group:
A private door-to-door transfer is the cleanest way to reach Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach: one vehicle, reserved for your group, straight from the terminal curb to the hotel entrance. You choose the vehicle by headcount — a Black SUV holds up to 5 passengers and their bags, a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van seats 6 to 9, and a larger Sprinter handles 10 to 14. After you book, your driver watches the inbound flight and is positioned at the curb when you step outside, so there is no app to open, no line to join, and no waiting on a request to be matched. You load up, settle in, and ride directly to South Beach with no extra stops. Booking takes one message and your fare is confirmed before the trip.
Message us on WhatsApp or email with your flight number, arrival date, passenger count, and the Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach drop-off. We confirm the vehicle and the flat fare in writing, take a 50% deposit to hold it, and the driver handles the rest on the day.
We reserve one private vehicle for your group alone — never a shared or pooled ride, never a stranger added to your trip. The fare is fixed at booking and does not move for traffic, demand, or the hour you land, so the price quoted is the price paid. Every driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which makes the meeting, the loading, and any change of plan simple to sort out on the spot. You reach a real person directly over WhatsApp before, during, and after the ride, not a queue or a chatbot. Your luggage is handled, the route is planned, and the focus is a calm, premium arrival rather than a scramble at the curb. The result is a coordinated, private trip from MIA to your South Beach hotel that feels arranged for you, because it is.
Yes. Every driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so confirming your name, sorting bags, or adjusting a pickup detail is easy whether you land speaking English or arrive from Latin America or Brazil. You are met by someone you can talk with plainly from the first minute.
The drive covers 11.9 miles and takes about 27 minutes off-peak, stretching to roughly 33 minutes when traffic is heavy. The route runs east out of the airport along the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) toward the beach, and the gap between a quiet run and a busy one comes down to the time of day rather than the distance. Mid-morning and early-afternoon departures tend to move fastest, while the morning and evening commute windows are where you feel the extra few minutes. Because the fare is set per vehicle and not by the meter, those extra minutes in traffic never change what you pay — the slower clock costs you nothing. Your driver plans the timing around the live flight arrival, so a delayed landing simply shifts the pickup rather than rushing the drive.
Schedule around your flight, not the clock — the driver re-times the pickup to your actual landing. If you have a choice of arrival, a mid-day landing usually clears the airport and reaches South Beach near the shorter end of the window, while morning and evening rush windows sit closer to the longer estimate.
Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach is a boutique hotel set in the heart of Miami Beach’s South Beach district, a walkable, sun-soaked stretch known for its Art Deco architecture, palm-lined avenues, and the open Atlantic just blocks away. The area mixes oceanfront leisure with a dense run of restaurants, cafés, galleries, boutiques, and the kind of nightlife that South Beach built its name on. Guests step out into a neighborhood made for strolling, with the beach, design shops, and dining all close at hand. You can read more about the property on the official Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach site or check rooms and amenities through the Kimpton hotel details page.
South Beach is bright, breezy, and built for walking, with pastel Art Deco facades, an oceanfront promenade, and a steady buzz of cafés, bars, and shops. It blends a relaxed beach-town feel with a lively, design-forward energy, drawing both leisure travelers and a steady flow of business and event visitors.
Within easy reach of the hotel you’ll find the beach and its boardwalk, a thick concentration of restaurants and rooftop bars, art deco landmarks, boutique shopping, and a calendar of nightlife. The neighborhood rewards walking, so most of what draws visitors to South Beach sits within a short stroll of the door.
The flat rate is a genuinely all-in number for the ride itself. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all covered in the price, so nothing is added at the end for the roads you take. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, keeping you connected from the curb to the hotel. Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time, and the included pickup is curbside — the driver is ready at the curb as you exit the terminal. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is available as an optional paid add-on if you’d prefer to be met at the gate area instead. The standard luggage allowance of one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger is built into the rate, and small pets are welcome with advance notice. The fare reflects the vehicle and route, with only a few clearly defined extras applying in specific cases.
A few clearly defined extras exist: an optional in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign, a small after-hours surcharge for pickups outside daytime hours, and an additional child-seat fee beyond the first seat, each confirmed at booking. Trips outside 7 AM to 9 PM carry the night surcharge detailed further down the page.
Yes. Each vehicle carries onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, so you can check messages, share your arrival, or get a head start on plans during the ride from MIA to South Beach. It comes with the rate at no separate charge.
We run a private-only fleet, so the right choice is purely a matter of headcount and bags. The Black SUV (or SUV XL) is the go-to for up to 5 passengers — ideal for couples, small families, and business travelers who want a smooth, premium ride. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9 passengers suits larger families and small groups traveling together with room to spare for luggage. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 10 to 14 passengers handles bigger parties, event groups, and multi-family trips in one coordinated vehicle. Every option is reserved exclusively for your group, with no one else aboard and no extra stops along the way. Lead with the SUV if your party is five or fewer, and step up to a private van as your group and luggage grow — we’ll confirm the best fit when you book.
Payment is straightforward and confirmed in writing before the trip. We accept Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and cash is welcome for nearby or close-in pickups. To hold your reservation, a 50% deposit is paid at booking, with the remaining 50% paid to the driver on the day of the trip. A round trip simply costs double the one-way price, billed as the two legs together — there’s no hidden math and no separate booking fee. Because the fare is locked when you reserve, the balance you owe the driver is already known before you ever step into the vehicle, and traffic or timing won’t change it. We confirm the method, the deposit, and the day-of balance in your booking message so everything is settled and transparent ahead of arrival, leaving nothing to negotiate at the curb.
Cash is accepted for nearby or close-in pickups, alongside Venmo, Zelle, and a secure payment link for everything else. Whichever method you choose, the 50% deposit holds the booking and the remaining 50% is settled with the driver on the day of the trip.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips that fall outside that window carry a small after-hours charge, applied as follows:
Nothing changes on your end. Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and automatically shifts the pickup to match your actual landing, so an early or delayed arrival simply re-times the meeting. There is no need to rebook, re-message, or pay again — the flat fare and the curbside pickup stay exactly as confirmed.
The included pickup is curbside: your driver, having tracked the flight, is ready at the curb as you exit the terminal, then walks you to the waiting vehicle. If you’d rather be met inside, an optional paid in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign can be arranged at booking instead.
The rate includes one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger, so a full Black SUV or private van carries the whole group’s standard luggage comfortably. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we’ll confirm the space or size you up to a larger van — it’s easy to arrange ahead.
Small pets are welcome with advance WhatsApp notice and ride in a pet carrier. For little ones, the first child seat is free for a child under 5; each additional seat carries a small extra fee confirmed at booking. Let us know your needs when you reserve and we’ll have everything ready.
For larger groups, our “shuttle” is a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van reserved only for you — never a shared or scheduled service. The cost is per vehicle, not per person, so your whole group rides for the single price shown in the prices list above, with no per-head charge and no one else aboard.
The price is per vehicle, not per person. Whether you book the Black SUV or a private van, your entire group rides for the one set fare listed above. A round trip is simply double the one-way, and the number is locked at booking — adding passengers within the vehicle’s capacity never raises it.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
