A private ride between MIA Airport and the Courtyard by Marriott Miami Airport West/Doral Hotel spans 8.8 miles (14.2 km) and takes roughly 19–26 minutes along the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836). You travel in a Black SUV or private van with a bilingual driver for a flat fare that starts at $80 per vehicle. That price is set the moment you book — no surge pricing, and tolls and fuel are already included.
Every rate is charged per vehicle for the whole group and fixed at booking, with tolls and fuel included — just choose the size that matches your party.
We operate private vehicles only, matched to your group size. The Black SUV or SUV XL holds up to 5 passengers and works well for couples, small families, and business travelers. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van seats 6 to 9 passengers, ideal for larger families and small groups. The bigger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van carries 10 to 14 passengers for teams, events, and larger parties on the move together. Each one is booked exclusively for your group — you never share seating with other riders. Not sure which tier fits your bags and headcount? Just give us both numbers when you book and we’ll suggest the right size.
The trip runs 8.8 miles (14.2 km) and takes about 19 minutes when the roads are open. In the morning and evening rush the same drive can stretch toward 26 minutes, so plan on roughly 19–26 minutes door to door depending on your landing time. The path follows the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) heading west from the airport area into Doral — a short, direct corridor with no causeway crossings. Since the vehicle is private and goes straight to the hotel, there are no stops to drop off other passengers, which keeps your travel time near the off-peak number outside of rush hour. We still build in extra room around busy arrival banks and known congestion periods, and the driver picks the best route on the day. Include your flight number at booking and the driver will schedule the curbside pickup around your real touchdown, not the printed one.
The easiest option is a pre-booked private vehicle that greets you curbside and drives directly to the hotel entrance. Pick a Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or the larger van for 10 to 14. You reserve the size, pass along your flight number and arrival terminal, and the driver takes the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) west as soon as you’re aboard. There’s no app to launch after landing, no line to stand in, and no detour for other passengers — the vehicle belongs to you alone. Once you clear baggage claim, you step out to the assigned pickup spot, the driver loads your luggage, and you head straight to Doral. To book, send us a WhatsApp with your date, party size, and flight details, and we’ll confirm the vehicle and pickup plan ahead of your trip.
Let us know your passenger count and how much luggage you’re carrying, and we’ll pair you with the right vehicle. Five or fewer travelers take the Black SUV; six to nine take the Sprinter van; ten to fourteen take the larger van. We confirm both the size and the flat fare before you pay.
Your flat fare covers the private vehicle, the bilingual driver, and the entire drive between the airport and the hotel. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all folded into the price, so nothing gets added along the way. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot to keep you connected for the whole ride. The included pickup is curbside, with the driver waiting at the curb as you leave the terminal. A handful of items fall outside the base rate: an in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on, and while the first child seat for a child under 5 is free, each extra seat carries an additional fee confirmed at booking. Trips outside daytime hours add a surcharge, spelled out in its own section below. Everything that belongs to the standard ride is already baked into the number you see — no surprise charges at drop-off.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp and must ride in a pet carrier. For families, the first child seat for a child under 5 is free; each additional seat carries an extra fee we confirm at booking. Note both when you reserve so the driver shows up prepared.
Payment is easy and split into two parts, so you can confirm the booking without paying the full amount upfront.
A round trip is simply double the matching one-way rate for your vehicle. You pay the 50% deposit to lock in both legs, then settle the remaining half with the driver. Booking both directions together holds the same flat fare for your return and spares you arranging a second pickup later.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips that land outside that window carry a small add-on so a driver is on hand for your off-hours arrival.
The driver monitors your inbound flight in real time and sets the pickup to your actual landing rather than the printed schedule. If the flight comes in early or runs late, the curbside meeting adjusts on its own — nothing to re-book and no extra charge for the delay itself. Just include your flight number when you reserve.
The included pickup is curbside: after baggage claim, you walk out and the driver is waiting at the assigned curb as you exit the terminal. We send you the exact meeting point and the driver’s contact ahead of arrival. Want a name sign inside the terminal? That in-terminal meet-and-greet is an optional paid add-on.
The hotel is set in Doral, a west-Miami city organized around corporate campuses, business parks, and a broad mix of dining and shopping. Many guests here are in town for meetings, conventions, or work at the nearby office and logistics hubs, and the district is well known for its golf resorts and open, suburban character. Walkable retail and restaurant clusters offer casual and sit-down choices within the area, and the wider region blends Latin American eateries with familiar chains. It’s a practical, modern base for both business and leisure stays close to the airport. You can learn more on the official Courtyard Miami Airport West/Doral hotel page or explore the area on the Greater Miami visitor listing.
Doral is known for its golf, its cluster of corporate offices and business parks, and a growing dining and shopping scene. It attracts conference and business travelers along with leisure guests who prefer a quieter, modern base near the airport instead of the beach. The feel is suburban, polished, and convenient.
The hotel sits within the wider Doral district on Miami’s west side, close to the airport corridor and the surrounding business and retail zones. Downtown Miami, Brickell, and the beaches lie farther east, so guests who want both quiet nights and city access often base here and ride in for the day.
Your fare is flat and fixed at booking, so traffic, demand, or a crowded arrival hall never move the price. The vehicle is private and reserved for your group only — never a shared or pooled ride, never a wait for strangers. Every driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so directions and questions stay easy from the curb to the door. Your standard bags ride with you, and the driver handles loading and unloading at both ends. Booking happens through direct WhatsApp contact, so you reach a real person about your date, your party size, and any change you need, instead of wrestling with an app. From the second you leave the terminal to the moment you arrive at the Courtyard, the trip is one coordinated, point-to-point ride built around your arrival, not a generic queue.
Yes. Every driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which keeps the curbside meeting, luggage handling, and any in-ride questions simple for international and domestic arrivals alike. If you prefer one of the two languages, mention it when you book and we’ll do our best to match it.
The standard allowance is 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, which the SUV handles for up to 5 passengers and the vans handle for larger groups. Carrying extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp ahead of time and we’ll confirm the space or move you up to a larger van.
Public bus routes do head toward the Doral area, but they mean transfers, walking, schedules, and hauling luggage on board. Our private transfer skips all of it: one reserved vehicle, a curbside meeting, and a direct 19–26 minute ride to the hotel door for your group alone, with bags handled at both ends.
Yes — for groups we run a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, reserved for your party only, never a shared or scheduled shuttle. The rate is per vehicle, not per person, so your entire group rides for the single flat price listed above, and a round trip is simply double the one-way.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
