Ride in a private black SUV or Sprinter van across the 11.9 miles (19.2 km) that separate MIA Airport from 1 Hotel South Beach, a journey of 27 to 33 minutes along the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), for a set fare starting at $80 per vehicle. We drive this route in either direction between MIA Airport and 1 Hotel South Beach — your own vehicle, your own driver, on your own timing, with the fare fixed the instant you reserve.
Below are the current prices for a private one-way ride between Miami International Airport and 1 Hotel South Beach.
It all comes down to certainty. To begin with, the fare is fixed the moment you reserve: a set price that never shifts with traffic, demand, or when your flight truly touches down. On top of that, every driver speaks two languages — English along with Spanish or Portuguese — which counts when you are sorting out a pickup, a child seat, or a last-minute change. And you talk to real people instead of navigating menus: a direct WhatsApp line connects you to the very team that dispatches your driver, so questions and changes are handled quickly. That mix — a fixed price, a driver you can genuinely reach, and one accountable operator from reservation to drop-off — is precisely what travelers are after when they look for premium chauffeured service to South Beach.
Booking a private vehicle ahead of your flight is the easiest way to handle this route. Send us your 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 send the driver out to meet your arrival time. It is all set before you take off, so once you land there is nothing left to sort out — no counters to find, no transportation to puzzle over with bags in hand. Grab your luggage, step outside, and go.
Curbside pickup comes with every booking: your driver waits at the arrivals curb outside your terminal as you step out with your luggage. Would you rather be met inside the terminal? An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign at baggage claim can be added as an optional paid extra — simply ask for it when you reserve.
Yes — the transfer runs nonstop and door to door. The vehicle is held for your party alone, which means there is no set route, no other riders to gather, and no stops between the airport curb and the hotel’s front entrance. You get in, you set off, you arrive.
The trip from MIA Airport to 1 Hotel South Beach spans 11.9 miles (19.2 km) and runs 27 minutes off-peak, extending to about 33 minutes when rush hour peaks. Expressways carry nearly the entire route, which keeps the timing steady next to surface streets — the gap between the quickest and slowest runs comes down to just a few minutes. Nearly all the difference is a matter of when you travel, not the distance: the mileage stays constant, only the traffic on it shifts.
Weekday mornings and late afternoons nudge the trip toward the top of the range as commuter volume builds on the expressways. Weekend evenings can also slow things down as visitors make their way to the beach for dinner and nightlife. Arrivals in the mid-morning, early afternoon, and late night generally get the fastest ride.
All three of our vehicle tiers are private — the only thing separating them is capacity.
Our black SUV tier is the full-size luxury class those two models represent. Depending on how the day’s fleet is assigned, you might ride in a Lincoln Navigator, a Cadillac Escalade, or a similar full-size black SUV — always climate-controlled, seating five with room for their luggage.
Every passenger gets one checked bag and one carry-on included, whether in the SUV or the private vans. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Let us know on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space — or move your booking up to a larger private van — so it all rides with you in a single trip.
Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are folded into the rate — the price you book is the price of the whole trip. 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 handful of optional items fall outside the standard rate; the questions below explain each of them.
Just three optional items can add to your fare: a pickup outside daytime hours, extra child seats beyond the first, and the in-terminal meet-and-greet upgrade. Each one is your choice, never something you find out about after the ride — everything else laid out on this page is already in 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 trip; that is all that is asked. Letting us know in advance means we can assign a vehicle with comfortable space for the carrier next to your luggage.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under 5 — just 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 their exact total before the trip.
Yes. What guests look up as a luxury shuttle or premium chauffeured shuttle is exactly what we run — with one difference: 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 serve only your reservation.
Nothing shifts on your side. 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 your flight number when you book and the rest takes care of itself — no need to call, rebook, or message from the plane.
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 sets it apart 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 attracts a mix of beach vacationers, wellness guests, couples, and event groups, and its front drive manages 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 is the main draw — the resort opens straight onto the sand. Beyond 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 bustles with shoppers, street performers, and café tables. Galleries, nightlife, and beachfront parks fill out the neighborhood.
The resort sits on Collins Avenue at the northern end of South Beach, where the lively Art Deco blocks ease into a calmer, more resort-like stretch of oceanfront. The spot keeps the nightlife and restaurant scene within easy reach while the hotel itself stays quiet and beach-focused.
Per vehicle, every time. Whether one guest or five ride in the SUV — or fourteen fill the largest private van — the rate holds steady and covers 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.
Payment comes in two parts: 50% as a deposit when you reserve, and the other 50% given to the driver on the day of the trip.
The deposit runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link — whichever suits you best — and it is what locks in your vehicle and driver for the date. The balance is settled directly with the driver, so there is nothing to prepay in full and nothing left outstanding after the ride.
Cash works for nearby, close-in pickups — mention it on WhatsApp when you reserve if you would like to pay the balance that way. The deposit itself is always paid electronically through Venmo, Zelle, or the payment link, since that is what secures your booking.
Standard rates cover pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Red-eye landings and pre-dawn departures are never an issue — trips outside that daytime window simply add the following:
Yes — reserve both legs in one booking. A round trip runs exactly double the one-way rate, with no markup on the return, and your departure pickup from the hotel is timed around your outbound flight so you get to MIA with comfortable check-in time.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a meaningfully lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
