A private transfer to or from MIA Airport and Residence Inn by Marriott Fort Lauderdale SW/Miramar Hotel covers 20.4 miles (32.8 km) in a Black SUV or private van for a flat rate from $120 per vehicle, and takes about 33–47 minutes via the Palmetto Expressway (SR-826). Your bilingual driver follows the inbound flight and waits curbside when you step out.
Pricing is per vehicle for the whole group, locked at booking with no surge for traffic or demand.
The most direct way is a private door-to-door transfer that follows the Palmetto Expressway (SR-826) north from the airport into Miramar. You pick the vehicle that matches your party: a Black SUV for up to 5 travelers, a private Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or the larger van for groups of 10 to 14. After you land, the driver is already at the curb outside your terminal — no app to open, no line to join, no second vehicle to find. Bags go straight into the trunk and the car heads to the hotel entrance. Because the vehicle is reserved only for your group, the trip runs point to point with no extra stops.
Send your flight number, date, passenger count, and hotel address by WhatsApp or email. We confirm the vehicle and the pickup window, then hold the fare. Booking ahead lets the driver pre-load your flight for tracking, so the curbside pickup lines up with your actual arrival rather than a guessed time.
One private vehicle is reserved for your group alone, so you never share the ride with strangers and never wait for a second pickup. The fare is a flat rate locked at booking — what you confirm is what you pay, with no surge applied for rush hour or rain. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the first minutes after a long flight. The driver follows your inbound flight in real time and is ready at the curb the moment you exit, and your luggage is loaded and handled for you. You reach a real person directly on WhatsApp before and during the trip, so any change to your plans is answered without a call center. The result is a coordinated, point-to-point arrival into Miramar.
Plan on about 33 minutes off-peak and up to 47 minutes during the busiest stretches of the day. The difference comes down to traffic on the expressway corridor heading north from the airport: a midmorning or midday run moves close to the lower number, while weekday rush hours and heavy event days push toward the high end. Your driver watches conditions in real time and chooses the smoothest path, but no service can erase South Florida congestion, so the honest window is the range above rather than a single promise. Because the driver tracks your inbound flight, an early or delayed landing simply shifts the pickup — the clock on your ride starts when you actually reach the curb, not at a fixed appointment time. For tight onward schedules, build in the peak figure.
The hotel sits in Miramar, a suburban community in southwest Broward County north of the Miami line. The surrounding area is calm and residential, dotted with corporate offices, business parks, and chain dining rather than a dense tourist core, which makes it a practical base for business travelers and families who want easy access to both Miami and Fort Lauderdale without staying downtown in either. The extended-stay format suits longer trips, with in-room kitchens and a quieter pace. You can review rooms and amenities on the hotel’s official overview or browse the property through its photo gallery before you arrive.
The Miramar area leans toward everyday convenience: shopping plazas, casual and family restaurants, parks, and golf courses are scattered through the surrounding neighborhoods. Regional attractions in greater Miami and along the Broward coast are within reach by car, making the hotel a steady jumping-off point for both business and leisure days.
Miramar reads as a planned suburban community — wide roads, master-planned residential pockets, and clusters of office and warehouse space tied to the region’s logistics and corporate corridors. It is quiet at night and oriented around driving, which is exactly why a reserved vehicle waiting at the curb beats hunting for transport after a late arrival.
The flat per-vehicle fare already covers the costs that catch travelers off guard elsewhere. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are built into the price, so the road itself adds nothing at the end of the trip. Curbside pickup at your terminal is included, with the driver positioned at the exit as you come out. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot, so you can confirm plans or check messages on the way to Miramar. Your standard luggage rides at no extra cost — one checked bag plus one carry-on for each passenger. The bilingual driver, the reserved private vehicle, and real-time flight tracking are part of the same single rate. Everything listed here is included as standard; the optional extras below are the only items that change the total.
Optional paid add-ons you choose at booking are the only extras. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign held at arrivals is available beyond the standard curbside pickup. Additional child seats past the first one carry a small fee. Oversized or extra bags may also need a larger vehicle, confirmed in advance.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp and must ride inside a pet carrier. Let us know before your trip so the driver expects the carrier and the right vehicle is staged at the curb. A quick message at booking keeps the pickup smooth for you and your animal.
The first child seat for a child under 5 is included free. Each additional seat carries a small extra fee confirmed when you book. Share your children’s ages over WhatsApp ahead of time and we install the correct seats before pickup, so the family is buckled in safely from the start.
Three private vehicle classes cover every party size on this route. Match the vehicle to your headcount and luggage, and the whole group rides together in one reserved car.
Payment is split so you are never charged everything up front. We accept Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and cash is fine for nearby, close-in pickups. To confirm a booking you pay a 50% deposit, and the remaining 50% goes to the driver on the day of the trip. The fare you lock at booking is the fare you pay — no surge and no surprise line items, since tolls and fuel already sit inside the rate.
A round trip is simply double the one-way rate shown above. Book both legs together and your return pickup is scheduled ahead of time in the same vehicle class. The deposit-and-balance split applies to the full booking, so you reserve the whole journey in one step and settle the rest with the driver.
Daytime hours with no surcharge run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Trips that fall outside that window carry a modest after-hours surcharge:
Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time, so a delay re-times the curbside pickup automatically at no extra charge. Whether you land early or hours behind schedule, someone is at the curb when you reach it. Customs and baggage-claim waits are handled the same way — no re-booking and no penalty.
Your driver meets you curbside at your MIA terminal, positioned at the exit as you walk out with your bags. The standard included pickup is curbside. If you would rather be greeted inside at arrivals with a name sign, add that optional service when you book and the driver will be waiting in the terminal instead.
Every passenger travels with 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on at no added cost. Carrying extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the space or size up to a larger private van so everything fits. We sort it out in advance, not at the curb.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person. Your entire group rides for the one flat price listed above, whether you fill a Black SUV or a private van. Adding passengers up to the vehicle’s capacity never changes the fare, so a full SUV costs the same total as a solo traveler booking it.
Yes — our private Sprinter vans serve groups of 6 to 14 and work like a shuttle, except the vehicle is reserved only for your party. No strangers share the ride and no fixed schedule applies. The per-vehicle rate above moves your whole group directly from the terminal to the hotel entrance.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Muy recomendado. volvemos porque funciona, así de simple, y viaje fluido desde la acera hasta el lobby.
Just me on this one, the booking process was straightforward. even with traffic the route was sensible. Will book ahead next visit.
Sem problemas, recebi as instruções antes do embarque.
Came in on the red-eye, honest pricing, no surprises at the end. no waving down anyone, the car was where they said. Perfect way to land in Miami.
Tudo perfeito. fui no escuro e deu tudo certo.
