A private SUV or van ride to or from MIA Airport and National Hotel, an Adult Only Oceanfront Resort takes between 5 and 30 minutes via the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver waits with a black SUV or climate-controlled van reserved for your group, and daytime pickups from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM carry no surcharge.
Pricing depends only on vehicle size — choose the option that fits your group, and the figure below covers the complete one-way ride from MIA to the hotel door.
A reserved private vehicle is the most direct way to make this trip. You book before you fly, we assign a driver and confirm the vehicle, and on landing day everything is already arranged: collect your bags, step out of arrivals, and your driver is waiting at the curb with the trunk open. There are no counters to find, no apps to open, and no lines to stand in — the ride runs nonstop from the terminal to the resort’s front door. Solo travelers and couples usually take the black SUV, while larger parties book a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van so the whole group and all of its luggage travel together in one vehicle. Because everything is confirmed before you fly, the only task left on arrival day is to walk outside and say hello to your driver.
The ride takes between 5 and 30 minutes door to door, and traffic is the only variable that moves it inside that window. Weekday rush hours and big South Beach event weekends push trips toward the upper end, while early-morning and mid-evening departures usually land near the lower end. Your driver checks live traffic before departure and picks the routing accordingly, so you never have to plan the roads yourself. If you are arriving for hotel check-in, the variation hardly matters; if you are timing a departure out of MIA, the two questions below are worth a minute of reading.
The mileage varies with the routing your driver chooses, so we quote time rather than distance. The hotel sits in South Beach, on Miami Beach’s barrier island, while MIA lies inland on the mainland — a short expressway hop that traffic, not distance, makes longer or shorter on any given day.
Work backward from your airline’s recommended check-in time, then add the slow end of the traffic window above plus a small cushion for loading bags at the hotel. Tell us your departure time when you book and we will suggest a pickup hour that fits it comfortably.
Booking ahead removes every variable from your arrival. The rate is locked when you reserve — it does not surge with demand, rise in rush hour, or change because your flight lands at a busy moment. Every driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which makes the ride easier for international guests and mixed groups. You also get a direct WhatsApp line to us before, during, and after the trip: if plans shift, you message a person who already knows your booking, not a call center. Compare that with landing at a crowded airport and trying to arrange transportation on the spot, with luggage in hand and a phone low on battery. For an adults-only resort stay that is supposed to feel effortless, a pre-booked private car starts the relaxation at the terminal door.
We run three private vehicle tiers on this route, and the right one comes down to head count and luggage.
The figure in the price list is the complete cost of a standard daytime trip. All tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are built into the fare — your driver never collects toll money mid-route, and no fuel adjustment appears afterward. Every vehicle runs onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, so you can message the hotel, check your reservation, or catch up on email while you ride. Climate control keeps the cabin cool from the moment you board, which matters more in Miami humidity than most first-time visitors expect.
Three items can add to the base rate, and all are settled before you travel. An in-terminal meet-and-greet — your driver inside arrivals holding a name sign instead of waiting at the curb — is an optional paid add-on you can request at booking. Child seats follow a simple rule: the first seat for a child under 5 is free, and each additional seat carries a fee we confirm when you reserve. Finally, pickups outside daytime hours carry the night surcharge shown further down this page.
One checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger is included in every transfer, which comfortably covers a normal resort stay for most travelers. If your group is bringing more — extra or oversized bags — that is rarely a problem: mention it in a quick WhatsApp message when you book, and we will either confirm there is room in the vehicle you chose or move the booking up to a larger private van so everything travels with you. Nothing gets left behind for a second trip; the goal is one vehicle, one ride, and everyone’s belongings on board. If you are unsure whether your bag count fits the SUV, tell us the total and we will recommend the right vehicle before you commit to anything.
The National Hotel is an adults-only oceanfront resort on Collins Avenue, in the heart of South Beach. The property is one of the neighborhood’s restored Art Deco landmarks, known for its long palm-lined pool and a calm, grown-up atmosphere that contrasts with the louder scene elsewhere on the strip. Direct beach access, oceanfront lounging, and on-site dining mean many guests barely leave the property on their first day. You can browse rooms, dining, and pool details on the official National Hotel website, or compare availability through the resort’s online reservation page before you arrive.
The hotel sits inside the Art Deco Historic District, so the neighborhood itself is the attraction: pastel facades, neon-lit Ocean Drive, and sidewalk cafés fill the surrounding blocks. Lincoln Road’s pedestrian mall offers shopping and people-watching, while the beach runs directly behind the property — no street to cross, no gear to haul.
Paying happens in two steps — part when you reserve, and part handed to your driver in person on travel day.
Standard rates apply to pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM. A transfer scheduled outside that daytime window carries a small surcharge, confirmed at booking rather than added on the day:
These are the questions travelers send us most often before reserving this route.
Nothing you need to fix. Your driver follows the flight in real time and shifts the pickup to the actual landing time, so a delay on the airline’s side never costs you the ride. There is no rebooking, no penalty, and no need to message anyone from the plane.
Per vehicle, always. The amount in the price list covers the entire car or van, so a full SUV splits one total five ways and a full Sprinter splits it across fourteen. There is no per-seat math, and filling every seat costs nothing extra.
Yes — but it is always private. We do not run shared or scheduled shuttles; the “shuttle” on this route is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van reserved entirely for your group. It departs the moment you are ready, makes no stops at other properties, and never carries passengers from outside your party.
Yes — small pets are welcome with two conditions: let us know in advance over WhatsApp, and bring a pet carrier for the trip. With both covered, your pet rides in the cabin with you, whether you have booked the SUV or one of the vans.
Yes. Beyond airport transfers, the same vehicles and drivers are available as a private hourly chauffeur with a five-hour minimum — useful for a South Beach dinner night, a multi-stop shopping day, or an event where you want the car waiting between venues. Mention it when you reserve and we arrange both together.
Yes — every transfer runs in both directions, with pickup at the resort and drop-off at your departure terminal. You can reserve the return leg together with your arrival ride, or add it later with a quick message once your departure plans firm up.
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.
