Traveling privately between MIA Airport and La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Miami Airport West Hotel means covering 7.2 miles (11.6 km) door to door in roughly 20–23 minutes — a black SUV or climate-controlled van driven by a bilingual chauffeur, priced at a flat fare from $80 per vehicle. Because the westbound leg on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) is so brief, the ride stays quick whether you touch down at dawn or in rush hour.
Rates are set per vehicle according to how many are traveling — choose the vehicle that suits your party, and the amount shown carries everyone on board.
Each fare applies per vehicle rather than per person. The single flat price — determined by passenger count — covers your entire group, so five riders in the SUV pay the identical SUV rate that one rider would. Just book the vehicle sized for your party, and its listed price includes everyone inside.
Match the vehicle to your headcount and bags. Every option is private and held for your party alone — no seat is ever shared with anyone outside your group.
Here a private shuttle refers to our own private van, not a shared ride. Pricing is per vehicle for the whole group — the single flat fare in the list above covers everyone, whether you choose the six-to-nine or the ten-to-fourteen van. Seats are never sold individually, and no outside passengers are ever added.
Reserving a private SUV or van is the most direct way to travel this route. Pick the black SUV for up to five passengers, the private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to nine, or the larger private van for ten to fourteen — whichever you choose is held for your group alone. Once you confirm over WhatsApp or email, your driver is given the flight number and the hotel address. When you land you simply step out to the vehicle waiting for you, your bags are loaded, and the driver sets off west toward the Airport West district. Nothing to open on an app, no line to stand in — the vehicle is yours from the terminal all the way to the hotel entrance, with no extra stop to pick up other riders en route.
Book as early as possible — particularly for the larger private vans or a group arrival — so your vehicle and pickup slot are secured. Share your flight details and timing by WhatsApp or email, and we confirm availability along with the vehicle class for your trip.
Plan on about 20 minutes off-peak and as much as 23 minutes at peak — a roughly three-minute range across the 7.2-mile (11.6 km) trip. Since the hotel sits just west of the airport in the Airport West district, the drive stays short in either direction. Early mornings and mid-evenings are the quickest along the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), while midday and the late-afternoon rush add more cars and those extra few minutes. With such a brief distance, even at the busiest hour the run barely passes twenty minutes. Send us your flight details and we set the pickup to match your real arrival, so you never wait and the vehicle never idles.
Your group travels alone in a private vehicle — never pooled with strangers and never diverted to gather other passengers. The bilingual driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so directions, stops, and questions stay easy from the curb to the lobby. The fare is a flat fare fixed the instant you book: it will not shift with traffic, weather, or demand, so the number you agree on is the number you pay. Every passenger’s bags are loaded and unloaded for you, and you reach us directly on WhatsApp rather than through an app or a call center. What you get is a coordinated airport arrival with one driver already expecting you, holding a single vehicle for your party from landing to lobby.
Every fare includes the private vehicle, the bilingual driver, and the complete door-to-door ride. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all folded into the price, so nothing is tacked on when you reach the hotel. Onboard you get WiFi via a mobile hotspot for the trip. Your luggage is included, and the driver loads and unloads the bags for you. Any optional extras that can be added appear just below, so you see the whole picture before you ride.
Most trips carry nothing extra. The first child seat for a child under five is included; each additional seat has a small fee confirmed at booking. Rides beginning outside the 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM daytime window add the night surcharge shown below. Everything else is already covered by the quoted fare.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips falling outside that window carry a small night surcharge based on vehicle type.
Paying is straightforward and flexible. Use Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link sent ahead of the trip; cash works for nearby, close-in pickups. A 50% deposit is due when you book, and the other 50% is paid to the driver on the day of travel. That balance is precisely what you agreed at booking, with nothing added along the way. If you want the return leg too, the round trip is simply double the one-way price, booked as a single reservation.
A round trip runs double the one-way fare — the same per-vehicle price applied to each direction, booked together as one reservation. Reserve both legs at once and the same vehicle class is arranged for your return, with the deposit and balance divided just as they are on a one-way trip.
Yes — conference teams, corporate arrivals, and family groups ride together in one private van. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter seats six to nine, and the larger private van takes ten to fourteen, so a group arriving on the same flight moves in a single vehicle instead of splitting across cars. One booking covers everyone and one driver manages the arrival. For meetings and events at the nearby Airport West offices, message us your headcount and timing and we match the right van and confirm the vehicle ahead of time.
Yes. Small pets are welcome with advance notice — send us a WhatsApp message when you book and bring the pet in a carrier. Telling us in advance means the driver and vehicle are ready for the trip. We keep this simple so you and your pet travel comfortably from the curb to the hotel.
Each passenger’s standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on, and the SUV or van is matched to your group’s bags. Carrying extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the space or size up to a larger private van so everything travels with you.
Nothing changes on your side. The driver tracks your inbound flight in real time, so whether the plane arrives early or delayed the pickup re-times automatically to your actual landing. There is no need to rebook or send a new message — the vehicle is there when you walk out, on the schedule your flight actually keeps.
The included pickup is curbside: once you clear arrivals and collect your bags, you step out to your driver waiting at the curb with your vehicle. You’ll have the driver’s name and number before you land, so meeting up is quick. Would you rather be met inside the arrivals hall with a name sign? That in-terminal greet can be added as a paid option.
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Miami Airport West Hotel sits in the Airport West district, a corporate and logistics corridor of office parks, business campuses, and casual dining just past the airport’s western edge. The area is built for travelers who want to stay close to MIA without basing themselves downtown — quiet after dark, busy with business by day, and a short run from the rental and freight zones circling the airport. From here the wider city opens up by car: the Doral dining and golf scene to the west, the shops around the Dolphin Mall district, and the towers of downtown plus the beaches, all reachable on the expressway. You can review the property on its hotel profile and amenities listing, or check current room availability before you travel.
The hotel anchors the Airport West and Miami Springs side of the airport, with Doral immediately to the west and the Blue Lagoon office lakes close by. These are working business districts rather than tourist strips, which keeps evenings calm and parking easy while still leaving you minutes from the terminals.
Close at hand you’ll find big-box and outlet shopping around the Dolphin Mall area, the restaurants and golf of Doral, and easy car access toward downtown Miami, Brickell, and the beaches. The district itself skews business and dining, so most sightseeing means a short drive out on the expressway.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
