Riding in a private Black SUV or van, the journey from MIA Airport to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel runs roughly 10 to 30 minutes and starts at a fixed $80 per vehicle. We handle the drive in either direction between MIA Airport and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel — whichever of the brand’s Miami-area properties you booked — with the price locked in before you fly, one way or round trip.
The cost of this private transfer hangs on one thing only — the size of your group — so pick the vehicle that seats everyone:
Three private vehicle classes serve this route, and the right pick comes down to headcount and luggage:
Each option is reserved for your party alone, so a larger group never has to split across rideshares and regroup in the hotel lobby.
When you step out, your driver is already waiting at the curb outside your arrivals door. Grab your checked bags, head out through the baggage-claim doors on the arrivals level, and the vehicle is right there at the curb in front of you — no shuttle bus to a distant lot, no phone call to summon a car, no hunting through a packed garage. The pickup details arrive with your booking confirmation, so you know exactly what to look for before you touch down.
Nothing changes on your end. Flight tracking comes with every transfer: the driver watches your inbound flight in real time and sets the pickup to when you actually land, not the time printed on your itinerary. A delayed arrival never means a new booking or a message from you.
Yes. An in-terminal meet-and-greet — the driver waiting inside with a name sign — is offered as an optional paid add-on. Ask for it when you book and we confirm the arrangement before travel day. The standard transfer uses the curbside pickup described above, which most guests find just as quick.
Door to door, the ride runs about 10 to 30 minutes. Where you land in that range comes down to two factors: the Ritz-Carlton property you booked and the time of day. The nearest properties fall toward the low end, the farthest toward the top, and weekday rush hour can push any of them toward the upper limit. Rides at midday and in the evening usually move quicker than the morning and late-afternoon peaks. For your return, plan the pickup around airline check-in and security rather than the drive by itself — when you book, we can recommend a departure time matched to your specific property and flight.
Let us know which Ritz-Carlton property is on your reservation when you book — that destination shapes the route your driver plans. Each property sits in its own corner of the Miami area, with a distinct character once you get there:
Unsure which property your reservation lists? Check your confirmation email or the Ritz-Carlton official site before booking your transfer.
No — the per-group rates listed at the top of this page cover this route. Name the property when you book, and your fare is confirmed in writing before travel day. All that shifts between properties is the driving route and where you fall within the 10-to-30-minute window.
A transfer booked in advance is the most direct way to make this trip. You reserve before you fly, passing along your travel date, flight number, and the Ritz-Carlton property on your reservation. After that, travel day asks nothing more of you: your bags go in the back and the driver takes the most direct route to your hotel’s front entrance. No counters to find at MIA, no apps to open on landing, and no pickup line to wait in with your luggage. The same arrangement works in reverse for your flight home — the car arrives at the hotel entrance at the time you set and drives you straight to your departure terminal, keeping the trip door-to-door both ways.
The vehicle that collects you carries your group and no one else — no strangers, no added stops, no detours to other hotels. Your rate is locked at booking and never budges with traffic, demand, or arrival time, so the figure on your confirmation is the figure you pay. Every driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which counts when part of your group is more at ease in another language. And you’re dealing with a person, not a platform: a direct WhatsApp line to the operator fields questions, changes, and special requests before, during, and after the ride. For a luxury hotel arrival, that mix — your own vehicle, a professional driver, and a fixed number agreed up front — is what makes the trip feel handled rather than hailed.
The fare you see covers the whole trip, with nothing collected at the curb. In detail, the rate includes:
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under 5 — just ask for it when you book. Each additional seat carries an extra fee that we confirm at booking, so families with several small children see the full picture before paying anything.
Payment breaks into a deposit at reservation and a balance settled on your travel day:
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM run at the standard rates shown at the top of this page. Land earlier or later and the service still runs — a night rate is simply added:
The questions below cover the details guests double-check before reserving: how the pricing works, what fits in each vehicle, riding with pets, and where else in South Florida we can take you.
Per vehicle. The entire group rides for the single rate listed at the top of this page, however many seats you fill. Split across a full SUV or van, the cost per guest usually comes out lower than buying individual rides for everyone.
What we run is a private van, not a shared shuttle: it carries only your group, leaves when you land, and heads straight to your hotel with no other passengers and no extra stops. The van rates in the price list above are the complete cost for the whole group.
One checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger is included, and the vehicles are sized so that allowance fits comfortably. Bringing extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp ahead of time — we confirm the space or simply assign a larger van so nothing gets left at the curb.
Yes — small pets are welcome with advance notice over WhatsApp, riding in a pet carrier for their own safety. Mention your pet when you book so the driver knows to expect the carrier and can plan space alongside your luggage.
Yes. Pickups run from MIA Airport and PortMiami, and drop-offs can go almost anywhere — other airports, cruise ports, or cities across South Florida. If your trip continues past the Ritz-Carlton, tell us the full itinerary when you book and we arrange each leg as its own private ride.
Yes — the same vehicles and drivers are available as a private hourly chauffeur, with a 5-hour minimum. It fits days built around meetings, shopping between Ritz-Carlton properties, or sightseeing where you want the car and driver to stay with you rather than booking separate point-to-point rides.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

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.

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.
What you see is what you pay — no hidden fees. Driver gratuity is at your discretion and always appreciated.
Family flying in with children and baby supplies, the van had plenty of space. Caring driver.
Road trip with the whole family, six of us, the spacious van was great. Reliable.
My first time in Miami and the driver gave me great tips about the area.
Wonderful long Orlando journey. Smooth, comfortable, and very well executed.
Traveling with two kids and all the stuff that comes with them, the van was a lifesaver. Driver was patient and friendly.
