The private run between MIA Airport and Extended Stay America Select Suites – Fort Lauderdale – Airport – West Hotel measures 29.9 miles (48.1 km) and fills roughly 43–51 minutes in a black SUV, on a flat fare starting at $120 per vehicle. The I-95 Express corridor carries you north, and a bilingual driver watches your inbound flight before meeting you curbside, door to door.
This private transfer carries a flat per-vehicle rate pinned down at the moment of booking — simply pick the vehicle that matches your group size below.
Curbside pickup is included: once the bags are collected and you have stepped out of the terminal, the driver is waiting in the pickup area with your vehicle. Your flight has already been followed, so the timing matches your arrival. Prefer to be met inside behind a name sign? The in-terminal meet-and-greet is offered as an optional paid add-on.
Nothing shifts on your side. The driver follows the inbound flight live and moves the pickup to your actual landing, so a delay simply re-times the curbside meeting. There is no penalty for arriving late and nothing to re-book — your reserved vehicle waits for the flight you are genuinely on.
Expect around 43 minutes off-peak and as much as 51 when traffic is dense. Most of the distance runs north on the I-95 Express corridor before you arrive in the Airport West part of Fort Lauderdale. Late mornings and mid-afternoons usually land near the shorter end, while weekday rush hours and the post-arrival airport crush stretch it toward the longer one. Since the fare is fixed per vehicle, a slower trip never costs more — no meter runs, so a few extra minutes in traffic simply mean a few extra minutes in a private, climate-controlled cabin. The driver takes the best live route that day, and with your flight already tracked, the timing bends around your real landing instead of a rigid clock. For the return to MIA, allow the same window plus extra time for check-in and security.
Three private tiers cover this route, every one of them booked for your party alone — never pooled.
Yes. Each passenger’s standard allowance of one checked bag plus one carry-on is inside the fare. Carrying extra or oversized pieces? Message us on WhatsApp ahead of time and we confirm the space or move you into a larger private van. Planning the right vehicle in advance beats being short on room at the curb.
Small pets travel with advance notice on WhatsApp and must ride in a pet carrier. For children, the first seat is free for a child under five, while every additional child seat adds a fee confirmed at booking. Tell us what you need in advance so the right setup is waiting in the vehicle.
Charged per vehicle, the flat fare already absorbs the costs that turn up as surprises elsewhere. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are folded into the price confirmed at booking. Your driver tracks the inbound flight, and the standard pickup is curbside with the car ready as you step out. Each passenger’s standard allowance of one checked bag plus one carry-on travels at no extra cost, and a mobile hotspot supplies onboard WiFi for the ride. The bilingual driver, the reserved private vehicle, and the door-to-door routing all sit inside the quoted figure rather than appearing as line-item upgrades.
A handful of items sit outside the base fare. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on in place of the standard curbside pickup. Child seats beyond the first carry an added fee confirmed at booking, and oversized or additional bags are arranged ahead of time so the vehicle can be sized up if needed.
Daytime booking hours cover 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips falling outside that window carry a small after-hours addition, shown below.
Payment splits and stays flexible. Venmo, Zelle, and a secure payment link all work, with cash accepted for nearby, close-in pickups. Holding a booking takes a 50% deposit up front, and the remaining 50% goes straight to the driver on trip day. What you agree to is the per-vehicle flat fare from the prices above — nothing is appended for traffic or demand. Splitting it this way keeps the reservation secure while leaving the balance until you are actually in the car, and the bilingual driver can settle any day-of payment question on the spot.
A round trip is twice the one-way fare — no separate return rate to work out. Book both legs together and we assign a driver for each direction, applying identical per-vehicle flat pricing and the same deposit structure across the two trips, so the return to MIA is settled before the first leg even finishes.
Vehicles are priced, not passengers. Your whole group travels for the single flat figure in the prices section above, whether that is the SUV or one of the private vans. Filling seats up to capacity never lifts the fare — you only move up a tier when a larger vehicle is genuinely needed.
The hotel stands in Fort Lauderdale’s Airport West district, a practical commercial corridor organised around the airport, business parks, and quick highway access. The character is functional and convenient rather than touristy — wide streets, office and warehouse campuses, and a steady spread of casual dining and everyday retail a short drive away. It suits travelers here for work, for a layover stay, or for a comfortable base close to the airport and the regional road network. More detail sits on the property’s own Airport West location page, and the brand’s other Fort Lauderdale extended-stay options are worth a look if your plans move to a different part of the city.
Airport West reads as a business-and-transit district — commercial buildings, parking-friendly streets, and fast links into the wider Fort Lauderdale road grid. After office hours it stays calm and low-key, which suits travelers who want straightforward access to the airport and the main routes rather than a downtown nightlife scene outside the door.
Close at hand are casual restaurants, coffee stops, and the everyday shopping typical of an airport-adjacent commercial zone, plus simple driving access toward Fort Lauderdale’s broader dining, beach, and downtown areas. Because the location plugs so neatly into the road network, it works as a flexible starting point for business meetings and leisure outings alike.
Easiest is a single private vehicle held for your group and driven straight to the hotel entrance. Begin by matching the vehicle to headcount: a black SUV takes up to five passengers with luggage, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van seats six to nine, and a larger Sprinter handles ten to fourteen. Once the booking is made, the driver pulls up your flight and follows it live, then waits at the curb as you leave the terminal — nothing to launch on a phone, no queue to stand in, no connection to juggle. The trip runs directly to Airport West with no shared detours along the way. To arrange it, send a WhatsApp message with your flight number, passenger count, and arrival date, and we confirm the vehicle and the meeting spot so everything is settled before you touch down.
Pass along your flight number, the passenger and bag count, and the date over WhatsApp or email. Back comes the vehicle, the flat fare, and the curbside meeting details, after which a deposit secures the booking. Your driver is lined up before you arrive, so the car is confirmed well ahead of your landing in Miami.
The private shuttle here is one of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans, held for your group at the flat per-vehicle van rate listed above — never a shared or pooled ride. That figure buys the entire vehicle for six to fourteen passengers, with tolls, fuel, and the bilingual driver already inside the one number.
Yes — the route is covered both ways, to or from MIA Airport and Extended Stay America Select Suites – Fort Lauderdale – Airport – West Hotel. Book a round trip and we arrange a driver for the return to the airport at double the one-way fare, allowing the same drive window plus a margin for check-in and security.
A private car gives your group the whole vehicle and a fare that does not move. The rate is flat and set the instant you book, so traffic, demand, or a packed arrivals hall cannot shift the number you agreed on. Your driver speaks English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which keeps directions, luggage, and last-minute questions simple at both ends of the trip. Flight tracking is built in: the driver watches your inbound flight and is ready when you actually land, not when a timetable guesses. Nobody outside your party joins the ride and no extra pickups get added, so the SUV or van runs straight from MIA to the hotel. You reach us directly on WhatsApp for changes rather than through an app queue, and your standard bags are part of the service instead of an afterthought.
Yes. Every driver speaks English together with Spanish or Portuguese. Confirming your name at pickup, loading luggage, and working out a change of plans all happen without a language barrier — useful whether you are landing at MIA for the first time or heading back from the hotel to catch a departing flight.
Tighter coordination and a more premium ride — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly reduced total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
