A private Black SUV or climate-controlled van runs to or from MIA Airport and Nobu Hotel Miami Beach — 11.1 miles (17.8 km), about 31 to 33 minutes via the Julia Tuttle Causeway (I-195) — at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. Reserve ahead and the vehicle, the driver, and the pickup plan are all settled before your flight ever boards.
Pick the vehicle size that matches your group; each rate below covers one complete one-way trip.
One private vehicle, one driver, door to door — that is the whole formula for this route.
The choice comes down to group size: a Black SUV for smaller parties, a private van when you travel with family, colleagues, or a wedding group. Either way, the arrival-day routine is short — land, collect your bags, walk out, and ride. Your driver handles the loading, the route, and the drop-off at the hotel entrance while your group settles into the air conditioning. Nothing is improvised at the airport: no counter to find, no line to stand in, no negotiating a fare after a long flight. The same setup works for hotel guests heading the other way, so whichever direction you are traveling, the trip is arranged once and runs without any decisions left for the day itself.
Plan on 31 minutes off-peak, stretching to about 33 minutes at peak, door to door.
Weekday rush hours account for the difference, and even then the spread stays small because the route is short and runs mostly on highway. Mid-day departures, late evenings, and weekends usually land at the low end of the window; weekday late afternoons sit at the top. If your arrival feeds into a dinner reservation, a spa booking, or an event at the hotel, mention it when you reserve and we plan the pickup with a margin built in. The window above already reflects normal Miami traffic, so there is no need to pad it yourself — the figure you read here is the figure to plan around.
Your driver waits at the arrivals curb, positioned outside the exit closest to your baggage claim.
Curbside pickup is the standard included with every booking: you clear baggage claim, step outside, and the vehicle is already in position rather than circling somewhere in the airport loop. The driver loads your bags and you are on your way. If you would rather be met inside the terminal, an in-terminal meet-and-greet is available — the driver waits past baggage claim holding a sign with your name and walks your group out to the vehicle. The meet-and-greet is an optional paid add-on rather than part of the standard rate, so request it when you book and we arrange it for your arrival.
Nothing changes on your end. The driver tracks your inbound flight in real time and works from the actual touchdown, not the scheduled one, so a delayed arrival simply shifts the pickup. Keep your phone on after landing in case we message you, walk out at your own pace, and the car will be there.
Nobu Hotel Miami Beach is a luxury oceanfront property in the quieter Mid-Beach stretch of the city.
The hotel pairs Japanese-inspired design with a beachfront setting: rooms and suites overlook the Atlantic, the pool deck sits steps from the sand, and the in-house Nobu restaurant serves its signature Japanese-Peruvian menu without anyone needing to leave the property. The crowd skews toward couples, spa weekends, and longer leisure stays, and the pace matches — this is the part of Miami Beach people choose when they want the ocean without the late-night noise. For arriving travelers that calm is the point: you step out of the vehicle, hand off your bags, and the vacation starts at the driveway.
Mid-Beach is the relaxed face of Miami Beach: oceanfront condos, resort pools, neighborhood restaurants, and a long public beachwalk in place of packed nightlife strips. The beach itself, directly behind the hotel, is the main draw. When your group wants more energy, South Beach’s Art Deco District, Lincoln Road shopping, and Ocean Drive nightlife all lie to the south.
The rate covers the vehicle, the driver, all road costs, and a standard luggage allowance.
Two items can add to the base rate. Pickups outside daytime hours carry a night supplement — the exact amounts appear in the night tariff section further down this page. Child seats follow a simple rule: the first one is free for a child under five, and each additional seat has an extra fee we confirm when you book.
Three private vehicle tiers cover this route, sized by passenger count.
Pay half when you book and half to the driver on the day of the trip.
We accept Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and cash works for nearby, close-in pickups. The split is simple: a 50 percent deposit confirms your reservation, and the remaining 50 percent is handed to the driver in person on travel day. There is no requirement to pay in full upfront, and nothing beyond that balance is collected at the hotel.
Yes — a round trip costs exactly double the one-way rate, with no markup on the second leg. Book both legs together, give us your arrival flight and your departure flight, and the same deposit-plus-balance split applies to the combined total, so both rides are confirmed in a single exchange.
The rate you book is the rate you pay — no surge, no traffic adjustment.
That price certainty is the core of the service, but it is not the only difference. The vehicle is reserved for your group alone — no strangers, no detours to collect other passengers. Your driver is bilingual, working in English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which matters when part of your group is more comfortable in another language or when arrival details need to be relayed to relatives flying in separately. And you communicate with people rather than an app: a direct WhatsApp line reaches us before, during, and after the trip, so a changed flight, an added passenger, or an extra suitcase is handled in one message instead of a support queue.
Yes — the same private service runs from the hotel back to MIA Airport.
For departures, we schedule the hotel pickup around your flight time, your airline’s terminal area, and the day’s expected traffic, then send the driver to the hotel entrance with time to spare. Tell us the airline and departure hour when you book and we suggest a pickup time; you confirm it or adjust it. Drop-offs are not limited to MIA, either — when your trip continues elsewhere, we also run from the hotel to other airports, ports, and cities across the region, all with the same vehicles and the same booking process.
Yes. Cruise passengers book the same private SUV or van from Nobu Hotel Miami Beach to PortMiami, and the driver drops the group directly at the ship’s terminal entrance. We pick up at PortMiami as well, so both the hotel-to-port and the port-to-hotel directions are available.
Yes — pickups outside the daytime window shown in the quick facts above carry a supplement on top of the base rate:
Booking questions for this route tend to repeat, so the most common ones are answered below — what counts as a shuttle, whether the ride is truly nonstop, extra bags, and pets. Every answer applies in both travel directions.
Private shuttle, in our service, means a Sprinter van reserved under your name with a dedicated driver. The van rates are listed in the price section at the top of this page and are charged per vehicle, so one figure covers your entire party however you fill the seats.
Yes — that is exactly what a private transfer is. Your driver takes the group from the MIA arrivals area to the hotel entrance in one unbroken ride: no connections, no waiting between legs, no rolling suitcases down sidewalks. Bags go in at the airport and come out at the hotel, nothing in between.
Message us on WhatsApp before travel day and tell us what you are bringing. We either confirm the space in your booked vehicle or move you up to a larger van so nothing gets left behind. Extra and oversized bags are rarely a problem when we know about them in advance.
Yes — small pets are welcome with two conditions: let us know in advance over WhatsApp, and bring a pet carrier for the ride. With those two covered, your pet travels in the cabin with your group for the entire trip, in either direction of the route.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

We use curbside pickup only. Text us your exit gate and the driver will arrive in just a few minutes — faster than the classic sign-holding service.
If you’d prefer a driver waiting with a name sign inside the terminal, we can arrange that for US$ 20.
The day before your trip, we’ll send you a message with the driver’s name, the car model, and the license plate, plus detailed curbside pickup instructions.
Don’t worry — we’ll text you as soon as your flight lands. If we don’t hear back quickly, the driver will default to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll find you; we never leave anyone behind.
Domestic flights: up to 60 minutes after arrival
International flights: 120 minutes of complimentary wait time
Hotel pickups: 15-minute grace period
Port pickups: up to 60 minutes after the agreed time
This rarely happens, since we already include two free hours of wait time. If you’re still inside the airport after that, the ride may be marked as a no-show. You can request additional wait time — US$ 30 per extra 30-minute block, paid in cash to the driver.
Absolutely — our drivers will assist with your luggage.
The standard allowance is one large suitcase plus one carry-on per person. Planning to travel with larger items or extras — more suitcases, musical instruments, mobility equipment, or strollers? Contact us in advance so we can accommodate you; an additional charge may apply.
Yes — small pets are allowed, but they must remain in a secure carrier. Please let us know in advance.
We include one free child car seat for children under five. If you need an additional seat, request it in advance; the cost is US$ 15.
We ask that you not eat during the trip. Water in sealed bottles is the only drink permitted.
Unscheduled stops aren’t included in the base rate, but if you arrange a short, nearby stop in advance, we can accommodate it. A small fee may apply based on the extra time.
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.
