Travel in a private black SUV or Sprinter van across the 11.9 miles (19.2 km) between MIA Airport and 1 Hotel South Beach, a run of 27 to 33 minutes along the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), for a set fare starting at $80 per vehicle. We work this route in either direction between MIA Airport and 1 Hotel South Beach — your own vehicle, your own driver, on your own timing.
These are the current prices for a private one-way run between Miami International Airport and 1 Hotel South Beach.
Standard rates cover pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Red-eye landings and pre-dawn departures are never a problem — a trip outside that daytime window simply adds the following:
Payment arrives in two parts: 50% as a deposit when you reserve, and the remaining 50% handed to the driver on the day of the journey.
The deposit goes through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link — whichever suits you — and that is what holds your vehicle and driver for the date. The balance is settled directly with the driver, so nothing is prepaid in full and nothing is left hanging after the ride.
Cash works for nearby, close-in pickups — mention it on WhatsApp when you reserve if you would like to settle the balance that way. The deposit itself is always electronic, through Venmo, Zelle, or the payment link, since that is what secures the booking.
The vehicle, every time. One guest or five in the SUV — or fourteen filling the largest private van — and the rate holds steady, covering the whole group for the entire ride. Divided among your party, the private transfer is often the economical pick as much as the comfortable one.
All three tiers are private — capacity is the only thing separating them.
Our black SUV tier is the full-size luxury class those two models represent. Depending on how the day’s fleet is assigned, you may ride in a Lincoln Navigator, a Cadillac Escalade, or a comparable full-size black SUV — always climate-controlled, seating five with room for their luggage.
One checked bag and one carry-on per passenger comes included, in the SUV and in the private vans alike. Traveling with extra or oversized pieces? Tell us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space — or move your booking up to a larger private van — so everything rides with you in one journey.
The run from MIA Airport to 1 Hotel South Beach covers 11.9 miles (19.2 km) and takes 27 minutes off-peak, stretching toward 33 when rush hour peaks. Expressways carry nearly the whole route, which holds the timing steadier than surface streets would — the gap between the quickest and slowest runs comes down to a few minutes. Almost all of that difference is a question of when you travel rather than how far: the mileage never moves, only the traffic sitting on it.
Weekday mornings and late afternoons push the journey toward the top of the range as commuter volume builds on the expressways. Weekend evenings can drag as well, once visitors head for the beach for dinner and nightlife. Mid-morning, early-afternoon, and late-night arrivals generally get the quickest ride.
Curbside collection comes with every booking: your driver waits at the arrivals curb outside your terminal as you walk out with the luggage. Would you rather be met inside? An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign at baggage claim can be added as an optional paid extra — just ask when you reserve.
Nothing changes at your end. Your driver follows the inbound flight in real time, so a delay simply moves the pickup to your actual landing time at no cost. Send the flight number when you book and the rest handles itself — no call to make, nothing to rebook, no message from the plane.
Yes — nonstop and door to door. The vehicle belongs to your party alone, so there is no set route, no other riders to collect, and nothing between the airport curb and the hotel’s front entrance. You get in, you set off, you arrive.
Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are folded into the rate — the price you book is the price of the entire journey. Onboard WiFi comes from a mobile hotspot in each vehicle, and both the SUVs and the private Sprinter vans are climate-controlled against the Miami heat. A few optional items sit outside the standard rate; the questions below cover each one.
Only three optional items can raise your fare: a pickup outside daytime hours, extra child seats beyond the first, and the in-terminal meet-and-greet upgrade. Each is your choice, never something discovered after the ride — everything else laid out on this page already sits inside the rate.
Yes — small pets are welcome with notice ahead of time. Mention the pet when you book on WhatsApp and bring a pet carrier for the journey; that is all we ask. Telling us in advance lets us assign a vehicle with comfortable space for the carrier beside your luggage.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under 5 — simply request it when you reserve. Every additional seat carries a small extra fee that we confirm at booking, so families traveling with two or more young children know the exact total before the journey.
Yes. What guests search for as a luxury shuttle or premium chauffeured shuttle is precisely what we run — with one distinction: every booking is private. Your chauffeur-driven black SUV or private Sprinter van goes out for your flight time rather than a fixed timetable, and the driver, the vehicle, and the route answer to your reservation only.
Yes — reserve both legs in one booking. A round journey runs exactly double the one-way rate, with no markup on the return, and your departure pickup from the hotel is timed around the outbound flight so you reach MIA with comfortable check-in room.
Booking a private vehicle before your flight is the easiest way through this route. Send the travel date, flight number, and group size over WhatsApp or email; we pair your party with a black SUV or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van and dispatch the driver to meet your arrival time. Everything is settled before takeoff, so on landing there is nothing left to work out — no counters to find, no transportation to puzzle over with bags in hand. Collect your luggage, step outside, and go.
1 Hotel South Beach is an eco-conscious luxury resort set right on the Atlantic, built around natural materials, living greenery, and a barefoot-luxury feel that separates it from the glossier towers along the beach. The property is known for its pools, its spa and wellness programming, its oceanfront dining, and guest rooms finished in reclaimed and organic textures. It draws beach vacationers, wellness guests, couples, and event groups in roughly equal measure, and its front drive handles arriving vehicles easily — your driver pulls right up to the entrance. For a full overview of the property, see 1 Hotel South Beach on the official Miami and Beaches visitor guide.
The beach itself leads — the resort opens straight onto the sand. Past that, the shopping and dining along Collins Avenue run south toward Ocean Drive and the Art Deco District, while Lincoln Road’s open-air pedestrian mall fills with shoppers, street performers, and café tables. Galleries, nightlife, and beachfront parks round out the neighborhood.
The resort stands on Collins Avenue at the northern end of South Beach, where the lively Art Deco blocks give way to a calmer, more resort-like stretch of oceanfront. The position keeps the nightlife and restaurant scene within easy reach while the hotel itself stays quiet and beach-focused.
It comes down to certainty. First, the fare is fixed the moment you reserve: a set price that never shifts with traffic, demand, or when your flight actually touches down. Second, every driver speaks two languages — English along with Spanish or Portuguese — which matters when you are arranging a pickup, a child seat, or a last-minute change. Third, you talk to real people instead of working through menus: a direct WhatsApp line connects you to the same team that dispatches your driver, so questions and changes get handled quickly. That combination — a fixed price, a driver you can genuinely reach, and one accountable operator from reservation to drop-off — is exactly what travelers want from premium chauffeured service to South Beach.
A better-coordinated, premium arrangement — flat fare, a named driver, a pickup timed to the flight — for a meaningfully lower total than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
