A private transfer between MIA Airport and Kimpton EPIC Hotel runs roughly 15 to 25 minutes in a Black SUV, at a fixed rate starting at $80 per vehicle. The journey heads into Downtown Miami along the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) with a bilingual driver who follows your flight live and greets you curbside as you step out.
You pay per vehicle, and the number is fixed the instant you reserve — no per-head calculations and no demand-based swings.
You get a private vehicle and a professional driver from the curb all the way to the hotel entrance. The rate is a flat figure fixed at booking, so demand, hour, and traffic never move what you owe — no surge, no surprise total. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths out arriving in an unfamiliar city. You never ride with strangers and never sit through extra stops; the SUV or van belongs to your group alone. Reserving and adjusting happen through a direct WhatsApp message with a real person, not an automated app. Your driver helps load the bags, and bigger parties just step up to a Sprinter van. It is a calmer, better-coordinated way to start or close out a Miami trip.
The simplest option is a private door-to-door transfer in a vehicle held only for your party. Choose the Black SUV for a smaller group, or a Sprinter van for a bigger one. Once you book, share your flight number over WhatsApp; your driver enters it and watches the arrival live. As you land, head out to the curb where the driver is already there, then go straight to Downtown Miami — no app, no taxi queue, no waiting for a car to be assigned. That same private service works in reverse for departures, picking you up at the hotel entrance on time and getting you back to MIA with room to spare. A single booking covers the entire journey, and a real person manages every step.
You book straight through a WhatsApp message, not an app queue. Send your arrival date, flight number, how many passengers, and any extra or oversized bags. We reply confirming the vehicle and the price, then a 50% deposit locks it in. Your driver and pickup details reach you ahead of travel day.
Choose the tier that fits your headcount and bags — every option is private and held for your group alone.
For bigger parties, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van is the way to go — one seats six to nine passengers and a larger build holds ten to fourteen. Everyone travels together in a single private vehicle with luggage space, rather than splitting across separate cars. Give us your headcount and bag load and we set the correct size.
The drive is roughly 15 to 25 minutes in normal traffic. Off-peak — early morning or mid-evening — it lands near the short end of that range. Through the morning and late-afternoon rush, downtown-bound traffic and the surface streets near Biscayne Boulevard nudge it toward 25 minutes. The precise time hinges on which alternate the driver takes, such as I-95, and on the conditions the day you travel. Your driver watches live traffic and picks the fastest clear route to the hotel entrance, so even on a busy afternoon you land in Downtown Miami without detours or guesswork. Since pickup is timed to your flight, you never wait around whether the plane arrives early or slightly late.
The Kimpton EPIC Hotel stands where the Miami River meets Biscayne Bay, at the core of Downtown Miami. Its waterfront spot places you among the city’s financial towers, riverfront dining, and a marina, with the buzz of the central business district right outside. Nearby Brickell brings rooftop bars, upscale shopping, and nightlife, and the bayfront museum and arena district is a short reach away. This is a high-rise, walkable neighborhood shaped for business travelers and for visitors who want the city itself over the beach. Read more on the official Kimpton EPIC Hotel site, or check rooms and amenities on the IHG hotel detail page before you travel.
Yes — this ranks among Miami’s most walkable districts. From the hotel you can walk to riverfront restaurants, the bay walk, shops, and financial-district offices. Brickell’s dining and nightlife are a brief stroll off, making it easy to leave the vehicle behind once you have checked in and settled.
The fixed price covers the entire private ride, with nothing hidden for the end. Every toll, SunPass charge, and all fuel are folded into the rate, so nothing gets collected mid-trip. Onboard WiFi comes through a mobile hotspot, so you can message, map, or work heading into the city. The vehicle is reserved solely for your group, and the bilingual driver and curbside pickup are included with the booking. One quoted figure, settled before you travel, is what the transfer costs.
A handful of optional items sit apart from the base rate. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is a paid add-on if you would rather be met inside than at the curb. The first child seat is free for a child under five; each extra seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Extra or oversized bags beyond the standard allowance may call for a larger van — message us in advance and we confirm space. A surcharge also applies to trips outside daytime hours, detailed below.
Payment is flexible and divided between booking and travel day, so nothing falls due all at once.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips landing outside that window carry a small added charge tied to the vehicle type.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

These are the questions guests raise most about moving between MIA and the Kimpton EPIC Hotel. Every answer gives the real detail — the meeting point, the timing, the luggage, and the policies — so you can book fully confident with no surprises on arrival day.
Your driver meets you curbside at MIA, waiting at the pickup area as you come out with your bags. Because we follow your inbound flight, the timing matches your actual landing. Rather be met inside with a name sign? That in-terminal greeting is an optional paid add-on you can ask for at booking.
Nothing changes for you. Your driver follows the inbound flight live and shifts the pickup automatically, so an early or late arrival is already handled. No need to rebook and no scramble at the curb — your reserved driver simply meets the new arrival time.
Each passenger may bring one checked bag plus one carry-on, loaded comfortably by your driver. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger Sprinter van, so your whole group and gear travel together.
We operate private vans, never a shared shuttle, so the price is per vehicle instead of per person — your entire group rides for the one flat figure shown in the prices section above. A round trip is just double the one-way, and trips outside daytime hours add a small surcharge.
Yes. Small pets are welcome with advance notice — message us on WhatsApp before your trip and bring your pet in a carrier. Telling us ahead means your driver is prepared and the right vehicle is set aside for you and your companion.
Yes. Although our pickups begin at MIA or PortMiami, we drop off at other airports, seaports, and cities throughout South Florida. Book it as a one-way or as the return leg of a round trip, and we set the right private vehicle for your group and luggage.
Secure your MIA-to-Kimpton EPIC transfer in a couple of minutes. Message us with your arrival date, flight number, passenger count, and any extra or oversized bags, and we confirm the right private vehicle and the rate before you travel.
