A private Black SUV runs to or from MIA Airport and Hotel Greystone Miami Beach — 11.1 miles (17.8 km) via I-195, the Julia Tuttle Causeway — in about 31 to 33 minutes, at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. Groups of 6 to 14 ride in a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van instead, booked the same way and driven door to door.
Pick your vehicle by group size — every rate below covers the complete door-to-door trip between the airport and the hotel, in either direction.
A pre-booked private transfer is the most direct option: one vehicle, one driver, and a straight run from the terminal to the hotel entrance with nothing left to arrange after you land.
Booking works in three steps. Send your travel date, flight number, and group size; we reply with vehicle options and confirm the one you choose; on arrival day, you walk out of the terminal and ride. There is no counter to find, no app to wrestle with on airport WiFi, and no line of strangers ahead of you. The same setup works in reverse for the trip home — your driver collects everyone at the hotel entrance and drops you at your departure terminal. Larger parties get the most out of this arrangement: one private van moves the whole group and all of its bags together, instead of splitting a celebration, a family reunion, or a work team across several cars that arrive at different times.
Plan on 31 minutes door to door off-peak, stretching to about 33 minutes at peak — an unusually small spread for Miami traffic.
Budget extra margin for the parts of an arrival the clock does not capture: deplaning, immigration on international flights, and waiting at the baggage carousel all happen before the drive starts. Weekday afternoon rush and big event weekends push the trip toward the upper end of the range, while early mornings and late evenings sit near the lower figure. Either way, the ride itself is the short, predictable part of your travel day.
Work backward from your airline’s recommended check-in time, then add the drive plus a cushion for loading bags and afternoon traffic. We agree on a sensible pickup hour with you when you book the return leg, so you are never guessing — and never cutting a departure close.
Three private vehicle classes serve this route; choose by headcount and luggage, and the whole vehicle is yours either way.
Hotel Greystone is an adults-only boutique hotel set in a restored Art Deco landmark on Collins Avenue, in the heart of Miami Beach. The property pairs its classic facade with a thoroughly modern interior: a rooftop pool and bar, intimate cocktail lounges, live music, and design-forward rooms aimed squarely at grown-up travelers who want South Beach energy without the spring-break crowd. Because the hotel is adults-only, it draws couples, honeymooners, and friends’ getaways rather than families with kids. Room categories, dining, and amenities are laid out on the Hotel Greystone official site, and the property regularly posts seasonal packages on its Miami Beach offers page — worth checking before you lock in your dates.
The hotel’s stretch of Collins Avenue puts the classic Miami Beach lineup within easy reach: the beach itself, the pastel blocks of the Art Deco district, the open-air shopping and dining of Lincoln Road, and the late-night energy of Ocean Drive. Galleries, spas, and beach clubs fill the surrounding streets.
Tolls, SunPass fees, and fuel are built into every rate, and each vehicle carries onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot.
Highway tolls between the airport and Miami Beach run through the vehicle’s SunPass — the driver never stops at a booth and never passes a toll charge back to you. The hotspot WiFi is live the moment you sit down, which is handy for messaging the hotel about early check-in or letting people know you landed, without touching international roaming.
Two optional items sit outside the base rate: an in-terminal meet-and-greet, where the driver waits inside arrivals holding a name sign (a paid add-on you request at booking), and the night rate for pickups outside daytime hours, listed near the end of this page. Nothing else gets added to the quoted fare.
Yes — the first child seat is free for a child under 5; just request it when you book. Each additional seat carries an extra fee that we confirm at booking, before you pay anything. Tell us your kids’ ages in your first message and the right seats will be installed and ready.
Small pets are welcome when two things are arranged in advance: a heads-up by WhatsApp at booking, and a pet carrier for the ride itself. Mention the animal’s size when you reserve and we confirm everything in the same conversation, so there are no surprises for you or the driver.
The vehicle is exclusively yours, the driver speaks your language, and the fare cannot change after you book — those three guarantees are the core of the service.
Exclusive use means no strangers in the next seat, no detours to other hotels, and no waiting while someone else’s bags are loaded — the vehicle goes where you are going and nowhere else. Drivers are bilingual, working in English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which makes a real difference when plans shift mid-trip. The rate is locked the moment you book: it does not rise with demand, weather, traffic, or a busy cruise weekend. And from your first message to final drop-off, you deal with a person on WhatsApp rather than a ticket queue or a chatbot — ask a question and a human answers it, usually within minutes.
Payment splits into a deposit and a balance, and you choose the method that suits you best:
Yes. Card payments run through a secure payment link, so you never read a card number aloud or send one by text. Venmo and Zelle transfers happen inside those apps with their own protections. We never ask for card details over chat, by email, or by phone.
Yes — pickups outside the standard daytime window carry a small night rate, since the driver runs the trip outside normal operating hours. The amount depends on the vehicle:
These are the questions travelers send us most often on WhatsApp before reserving this route. Every answer below applies to both directions of travel and to every vehicle class we run between MIA and Miami Beach, so you can book with the full picture in hand.
Nothing on your end — your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and re-times the pickup to your actual landing, at no charge. Share your flight number when you book and the schedule adjusts itself; a delay never costs you the reservation or triggers a late fee.
The included pickup is curbside: your driver pulls up to the arrivals-level curb outside your concourse as you walk out, ready to load bags. Message your door number on WhatsApp once you have your luggage, and the vehicle is there by the time you reach the sidewalk.
Each passenger travels with one checked bag and one carry-on included. Bringing extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance — we confirm there is room or size you up to a larger private van, so nothing in your group gets left at the curb.
Per vehicle, always. The figure in the price list covers the entire SUV or private van, not a seat — a couple and a group of five pay the same total. We never add per-person charges, and how you split the fare across your group is entirely up to you.
Yes — private pickups run from both MIA Airport and PortMiami, so cruise passengers heading to Hotel Greystone book the exact same service. Drop-offs are even more flexible: from the hotel, we can take you to other airports, ports, and Florida cities on request, not just back to MIA.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Absolutely — our drivers will assist with your luggage.

Of course. Give us at least 24 hours’ notice and, subject to availability, we’ll adjust your pickup time.
What you see is what you pay — no hidden fees. Driver gratuity is at your discretion and always appreciated.
Nada que reprochar. primera vez arreglando un traslado anticipado, sin problemas. Ahorramos 15 minutos vs la fila de Uber
Easy all around, first impressions of Miami were good thanks to this, (we were 8 in the van and still comfortable).
Reliable. even helped with the stroller. even with traffic the route was sensible. Saved it for next time.
Em viagem de casal, respeitou nosso espaço, sem forçar conversa. o ar-condicionado tava no ponto certo depois do voo. Anotei o contato pra próxima. (a tarifa de $80 se manteve)
Quick and easy, took the airport stress completely off our plate.
