Booking a private transfer between MIA Airport and Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Beach Surfside means covering 11.1 miles (17.8 km) in roughly 31 to 33 minutes along I-95, seated in a Black SUV or private van with a bilingual driver, for a flat fare starting at $80 per vehicle. That single fixed price moves your whole group to or from MIA Airport and Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Beach Surfside — never a surge, never a per-person add-on.
Every rate is flat and charged per vehicle, fixed at the moment you reserve, with fuel and tolls already built in.
Expect about 31 minutes when the road is clear, edging up to roughly 33 minutes during the busiest stretches of the day. Across the 11.1-mile trip, the bulk of the mileage rides I-95 before bending east toward the Surfside oceanfront. The difference between peak and off-peak stays tiny here — just a couple of minutes — since this corridor keeps flowing reasonably well even under heavier loads, unlike the longer cross-county hauls. Commuter surges in the morning and late afternoon, plus weekend beachgoers, are what occasionally push the run toward the top of that range. Your driver understands how the day is timing out and picks the smoothest route, so the estimate holds whether you land midday or during rush hour. And since the rate is flat, those extra traffic minutes never touch your total — there is simply no meter running.
Everything we run is private, so whichever tier you choose belongs to your party and no one else. Match the cabin to how many are riding and how much luggage you carry, then reserve the right one.
All tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are already folded into the flat fare, so the number quoted at booking is the complete price with nothing tacked on at the finish. Inside the vehicle you get WiFi via a mobile hotspot to get comfortable or fire off a quick message. Your standard luggage — one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger — rides included, and curbside pickup with live flight tracking is part of the fare rather than an extra. Everything required for a smooth door-to-door run is wrapped into the one per-vehicle figure.
A handful of options fall outside the base fare. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid extra instead of the standard curbside pickup. The first child seat for a child under 5 comes free; each additional seat adds a fee confirmed at booking. Rides outside daytime hours carry the night surcharge noted further down.
Small pets are welcome when you give advance notice over WhatsApp, riding in a pet carrier. For additional or oversized bags beyond the one-checked-plus-one-carry-on allowance, reach out before the trip — we confirm the room or move you up to a larger private van. Letting us know early keeps the right vehicle ready for you.
The easiest route is a pre-arranged private car that greets you curbside the second you land. You book once and choose the vehicle for your group: a Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a private Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or the larger private van for 10 to 14. Since your driver follows the inbound flight live, the car is already waiting curbside outside your MIA terminal as you step out — no app to launch, no queue to stand in, no haggling after baggage claim. Your driver loads the luggage, confirms where you are headed, and drives straight to Surfside without extra stops on the way. To reserve, send us a WhatsApp message or email with your flight number, arrival time, party size, and bag count, and we lock in the vehicle and flat fare before the day arrives. The same setup runs in reverse for your trip back to MIA.
Payment is structured to stay simple and secure. You can pay with Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and cash works for nearby, close-in pickups. A round trip is just twice the one-way price, handled as one easy booking covering both directions.
Rides falling outside the daytime window of 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM include a modest surcharge, and the amount hinges on your vehicle.
The fare you’re shown is the fare you pay — a flat fare fixed at booking that never shifts for rush hour, rain, or demand. Your vehicle is held for your group alone, so you never share the cabin with strangers and never detour to collect anyone else. Every driver is bilingual, speaking English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which keeps arrival logistics simple right after a long flight. Your standard allowance of one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger comes along, and oversized items are handled when you flag them in advance. Booking and updates run over direct WhatsApp with a real person, not an anonymous queue, so questions get answered fast. The payoff is a calmer, better-coordinated arrival into Surfside than cobbling transport together at the curb once you land.
Residence Inn by Marriott Miami Beach Surfside sits in a quiet, residential oceanside town just up the coast from the busier parts of Miami Beach. The hotel is an extended-stay property whose suites include full kitchens, which makes it a natural fit for families and longer trips. Head outside and the vibe is relaxed and walkable: a wide sandy Atlantic beach, easygoing local cafés and restaurants, and the upscale Bal Harbour shopping district nearby. This neighborhood swaps nightlife noise for calm streets and simple beach access, which is precisely why many passengers pick Surfside over South Beach. You can learn more about the property on the hotel’s official overview or browse things to do around the hotel before you arrive.
This stretch is built for beach-focused, low-stress stays — families, couples, and longer visits that lean on the suite kitchens and a quieter street scene. Days revolve around the ocean, casual meals, and the nearby Bal Harbour shopping area, with South Beach energy a short ride away whenever you want it rather than parked outside your window.
Nothing shifts on your side. Your driver watches the inbound flight live and re-times the curbside pickup to your true landing, so a delay or early arrival is handled on its own. Because the rate is flat and locked at booking, a late flight never adds a charge or makes you re-book the ride.
Your driver waits curbside outside your arrival terminal, ready as you come out with your bags after landing. This curbside meeting is the standard included pickup. If you’d rather be met inside the terminal by someone holding a name sign, that in-terminal meet-and-greet is offered as an optional paid add-on set up when you book.
Each passenger rides with one checked bag and one carry-on included in the fare, which suits most arrivals comfortably. If you’re carrying extra or oversized bags, just message us on WhatsApp before the trip — we confirm the room in your vehicle or move you up to a larger private van. Flagging it early keeps the right car ready.
The fare is per vehicle, never per person. Your whole group rides for the single flat price shown in the prices section above, whether you take the SUV or a van. Adding more passengers within a vehicle’s capacity does not raise the cost, which makes a private transfer especially good value for families and groups.
Our private van meets the same need a shuttle search suggests, but it’s reserved for your group alone — no shared seats or extra stops. The cost is the flat per-vehicle rate in the prices list above, set by van size for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 passengers, with tolls and fuel already included.
Yes, and reserving ahead is the recommended approach. Send your flight number, arrival time, party size, and bag count over WhatsApp or email, and we confirm the vehicle and the locked flat fare before your trip. Booking early guarantees the right vehicle is held for your group and that a driver is tracking your flight on the day.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
