A private Black SUV handles the 15.9 miles (25.6 km) between MIA Airport and Bal Harbour in roughly 40–43 minutes along the Airport Expressway (SR-112), for a flat fare starting at $80 per vehicle. Our door-to-door private transfers connect MIA Airport and Bal Harbour in either direction, around the clock, with Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans on hand for bigger groups. Reserve over WhatsApp, land, and ride.
Each one-way price below covers the whole ride, from the MIA curb to your Bal Harbour address:
Getting from MIA Airport to Bal Harbour takes 40 minutes off-peak and about 43 minutes when traffic is heaviest. The bulk of the route sticks to the Airport Expressway (SR-112), so you spend most of the ride on highway lanes rather than surface streets. Because only about three minutes separate a calm midday run from a weekday rush-hour run, arrival times on this route are simple to plan — the quote you get lines up closely with what you actually experience. When leaving Bal Harbour, schedule your pickup around your airline’s suggested check-in window plus the driving time, and the driver will drop you at your terminal door with room to spare.
A private door-to-door transfer is the most direct route for this trip. Your vehicle and driver are booked before you fly, so on arrival day nothing is left to organize — no rental counters to line up at and nothing to sort out after a long flight. The driver loads all your bags, and the ride goes nonstop from the airport to your hotel entrance, condo lobby, or front door. Solo travelers, couples, and small families ride comfortably in the Black SUV; larger parties travel together in a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, so no one has to split into separate cars or wait for a second vehicle. Either way, the vehicle, the driver, and the destination are all locked in before your plane lands, and the very same setup covers the ride back to the airport when your stay ends.
Every transfer travels in one of three private vehicles, chosen by passenger count.
Payment comes in two parts: half at booking, half on the day of your trip.
Your driver meets you at the arrivals curb, right outside baggage claim. Curbside pickup comes with every transfer: grab your bags, step out to the arrivals level, and your vehicle is waiting there — no parking garage to work through and no pickup lot to search for. MIA is a large, busy airport, and a set meeting point at the curb removes the guesswork from a tired arrival. Would you rather be met inside the terminal? That option is available too, and it’s described just below.
Yes — an in-terminal meet-and-greet is offered as a paid add-on. Rather than meeting you outside, your driver waits inside the terminal with a sign showing your name and walks you out to the vehicle. It’s a favorite among first-time visitors, older passengers, and large groups; ask for it when you book.
Tolls, SunPass fees, and fuel are all folded into the rate — nothing is tacked on for the road itself. Each vehicle also carries onboard WiFi via a mobile hotspot, so you can message ahead, double-check your reservation, or just get online the second you leave the terminal. The sections below cover the handful of extras and special requests passengers ask about most.
Two things can be added to the base rate: a surcharge for pickups outside daytime hours — the night-rate section below spells out the exact amounts — and additional child seats. The first child seat is free for a child under 5; each extra seat carries a fee we confirm at booking.
Every passenger travels with one checked bag and one carry-on included. Bringing extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before your trip — we verify the space in your booked vehicle or bump you up to a larger private van so it all rides with you. Nothing gets left behind at the curb.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice. Let us know on WhatsApp when you book, and bring your pet in a carrier for the ride. The driver will be expecting your companion, so there are no surprises at pickup — for you, for them, or for the pet.
Yes — every transfer finishes at the exact door you name at booking. There are no fixed stops and no central drop point; the route is built around your destination, be it an oceanfront resort, a condo tower, a vacation rental, or a private home.
Yes. Surfside and Bay Harbor Islands lie right next to Bal Harbour, and drop-offs in both communities are covered by the same service. Send your exact street address when you book, and we confirm your rate and the remaining details in that same conversation — the run from MIA works the same way.
Yes. Tell us where you’re staying, and the driver pulls up to the property’s main entrance so you can walk right in to check-in. Resort and hotel arrivals run exactly like any other drop-off on this route: bags come out at the door, and the vehicle leaves only once you’re settled.
Residential drop-offs are routine on this route. Whether you’re heading to an oceanfront condo, a rented apartment, or a single-family home, the driver brings you to the building entrance or your driveway. If your building has gated access or a front desk, add any access notes to your booking and the arrival goes smoothly.
Yes. Bal Harbour and neighboring Surfside host a well-established kosher dining and shopping scene, and we regularly drive guests visiting for holidays and family gatherings. Give us the restaurant, market, synagogue, or residence address at booking, and the driver takes you straight there — no transfers, no detours.
Bal Harbour is one of Miami’s most refined addresses — manicured landscaping, a broad stretch of beach, and a reputation built on quiet luxury. The tempo is calmer than the busier beach districts to the south, which is precisely why many passengers pick it: mornings on the sand, afternoons in designer boutiques, evenings over a long dinner. The village is small and walkable, so once your driver drops you off, much of your stay can unfold on foot. For seasonal events and a rundown of what’s open during your visit, the official Miami & Beaches guide to Bal Harbour is worth a look before you arrive.
Bal Harbour Shops is the village’s centerpiece — an open-air lineup of designer boutiques and restaurants that pulls in visitors from across South Florida. Around it sit cafés, fine dining, and easygoing beachfront spots, while neighboring Surfside adds a laid-back strip of bakeries, markets, and family-run eateries within a short walk or quick drive.
Daytime pickups — anytime between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM — carry no surcharge whatsoever. Transfers outside that window run every day with the same vehicles and the same included service; they just add a small night rate:
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a meaningfully lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Four things set this service apart: a locked fare, a reserved vehicle, a bilingual driver, and a direct line to us. The rate you confirm at booking is the rate you pay — it doesn’t climb with demand, traffic, or a late landing. The vehicle is held for your group alone: no strangers board, and the route makes no extra stops between the airport and your address. Every driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which helps with everything from luggage questions to restaurant tips along the way. And because you book directly with us over WhatsApp, the person who confirms your reservation belongs to the same operation that sends your driver — questions go straight to someone who can actually resolve them.
Nothing changes on your side. Flight tracking is included with every booking: your driver watches the inbound flight in real time and times the pickup to when you actually land, not to the original schedule. Delays, gate holds, and early arrivals are all handled automatically — your pickup shifts with your flight.
Our service is fully private — the vehicle carries only your group, and the rate is per vehicle, not per person. The price list at the top of this page shows the exact one-way rate for the Black SUV and both private van sizes; your whole party rides together for that single figure.
Yes — the service runs both ways. For departures, the driver collects you at your Bal Harbour address and drops you at your airline’s terminal door at MIA. Many passengers reserve the arrival ride and the return together, and both legs are confirmed in one booking.
Pickups run from MIA and PortMiami only. Drop-offs are more flexible: from Bal Harbour, we can carry you onward to other airports, ports, and cities in the region — just name the destination when you book. For the MIA-to-Bal Harbour trip itself, every rate, timing, and inclusion is right here on this page.
Booking takes a single message. Send your travel date, MIA flight number, group size, and Bal Harbour street address by WhatsApp, phone, or email, and we reply with your confirmation, your vehicle, and your driver’s details. Reserve before you fly, and the only thing left to do when you land is walk to the curb.

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.

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.
