A private transfer to or from MIA Airport and the Plymouth South Beach Hotel covers 11.9 miles (19.2 km) along the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) and takes 27–33 minutes door to door, in a black SUV or private van at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. Book over WhatsApp, land in Miami, and your driver handles everything between the terminal and the hotel.
Three private vehicle sizes serve this route — pick the one that matches your group and the price below is the whole story.
A private transfer is the most direct way to make this trip: one vehicle, one driver, and no stops between the terminal and the hotel.
The process is built around arrival days. Before you fly, you tell us when you land and how many people are coming. We assign the right vehicle for your group, put your pickup on the schedule, and send back a written confirmation. On the day itself, you collect your bags, walk out, and ride straight to the Plymouth while the rest of your flight is still studying transit maps. The same setup runs in reverse when you leave: a hotel pickup timed to your departure flight, so the trip ends the way it started.
Four details cover it: your flight number, your arrival date, your group size, and your bag count. With those we match the vehicle, set the pickup window, and confirm everything in writing. For the return leg, add your departure flight time and we schedule the hotel pickup to suit it.
Price certainty and a single point of contact — you know what you will pay and who to message from booking until you step out at the hotel.
The rate locks when you reserve and stays put: heavy traffic, a convention weekend, or a flight that lands at the worst possible hour will not change it. Communication is just as direct — a WhatsApp line straight to us handles questions, changes, and special requests with one message instead of a support queue. And the ride itself is run by someone who drives this airport every day, knows where arrivals get congested, and treats the trip as a service rather than a fare. A held price, a human contact, and a driver who knows the ground: that is the offer.
Yes. Every driver is bilingual — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — so directions, questions, and any change of plan are easy to communicate in whichever language you prefer. That matters most right after landing, when you want quick, clear coordination rather than guesswork at the end of a long flight.
Plan on about 27 minutes off-peak and up to 33 minutes when Miami traffic is at its heaviest.
The gap between a quiet ride and a slow one is only about six minutes, which makes the timing easy to plan around. Weekday rush hours — the morning commute and the late-afternoon crawl — sit at the top of the range, while mid-morning, early-afternoon, and evening trips usually come in near the bottom. Sunny weekend afternoons can also push toward the higher figure as beach traffic builds. For departures, give us your flight time and we will schedule the hotel pickup with that range and a sensible cushion in mind, so you reach MIA without watching the clock.
The Plymouth is a boutique hotel in Miami Beach’s Art Deco quarter, known for its restored period architecture and its quieter, design-first take on South Beach.
It is the kind of property guests pick on purpose: intimate rather than sprawling, with a strong visual identity and rooms and suites that lean into the building’s character. You can browse the Plymouth’s official site for current photos, dining, and amenities before you arrive. For arriving guests, the practical point is simple: this is a compact, walkable pocket of South Beach, and pulling up in a private vehicle that stops exactly where you need it beats circling unfamiliar streets after a flight.
The draw is South Beach itself: the sand and the ocean, the pastel Art Deco blocks, the restaurants and cafés of Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive, and the galleries, shops, and people-watching that fill the neighborhood day and night. Everything that makes Miami Beach famous surrounds the hotel, so most guests park the idea of needing a car at check-in.
Hotel perks change with seasons and rate plans, so check your reservation or ask the front desk what, if anything, is included with your room. A booked private transfer removes the uncertainty either way: your vehicle and driver are arranged before you board, and the pickup exists whether or not the hotel adds anything on top.
Group size decides it — all three options below run the same route, privately, with the same driver standards.
Several costs that often show up as extras elsewhere are already built into the quote.
Only items you choose or unusual timing change the quote. An in-terminal meet-and-greet — the driver waiting inside with a name sign — is an optional paid add-on rather than a standard inclusion. Pickups outside daytime hours carry the night add-on listed near the end of this page. Both are agreed before you confirm, never a surprise on the day.
Small pets are welcome with two conditions: tell us in advance over WhatsApp, and bring a pet carrier for the trip. The notice lets us prepare the vehicle, and the carrier keeps your animal safe on the expressway. Arrange it at booking and the pickup runs exactly like any other.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under 5 — just request it when you reserve. If you need more than one, each additional seat carries a fee that we confirm at booking time, so you know the exact total before you commit to the trip.
Send us a quick WhatsApp message before travel day and tell us what you are bringing. We will either confirm the space in your chosen vehicle or move you up to a larger van so everything rides inside with you — no second car, no scramble at pickup, no leaving anything behind.
Payment splits in two: half when you book, half on the day of the trip.
Cash is an option for nearby, close-in pickups, handed to the driver on trip day. The deposit that confirms the booking is still paid electronically, so your reservation is secured before any cash changes hands. If you prefer to keep everything electronic from start to finish, that works too.
At the curb, directly outside arrivals — the included pickup is curbside, meaning the driver positions the vehicle at your exit door and you walk straight out to it with your bags. Load up and go; there is no shuttle lot to find, no garage level to decode, and no waiting line to join.
Nothing you need to fix. Flight tracking is part of every airport pickup: we follow your inbound flight in real time, so the driver works from when you actually land, not from the time printed on your itinerary. A two-hour delay simply becomes a two-hour-later pickup — no need to message us from the tarmac.
Per vehicle, always. Each figure in the price list near the top of this page covers the whole vehicle and everyone riding in it — no per-seat math, no extra charge for the fifth passenger, no recalculation for odd group sizes. Fill every seat and the figure stays exactly where it was when you booked the vehicle.
Yes — every van we run is a private shuttle, reserved for one booking only: your group, your luggage, your schedule. We never sell individual seats, combine separate parties, or run fixed multi-stop routes, so the van leaves the airport when you are ready and drives nonstop to the hotel rather than touring other people’s destinations first.
Yes. When your South Beach stay ends, we run private drop-offs from the Plymouth to PortMiami for cruise departures, to Fort Lauderdale and other regional airports, and to other Florida cities. Book the outbound leg together with your arrival transfer or add it later over WhatsApp — the same vehicles and the same driver standards apply.
Flights that land late at night or leave before dawn fall outside the standard daytime window, and those pickups carry a small add-on. Trips inside daytime hours never do.
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.
What you see is what you pay — no hidden fees. Driver gratuity is at your discretion and always appreciated.
Muy recomendado. privado fue la decisión correcta después de un vuelo largo.
vale a pena. mais organizado que o rideshare.
Got off the plane around midnight, our group of six, a hand with the bags made a long day easier. no surprise tolls, no upselling, just the ride. No waiting around, the car was there
Nada que reprochar, todo el equipaje cupo sin problema.
I flew in alone and third time using them and same level of service. I landed at 11pm and the car was right there. (trip took about 25 minutes)
