A private journey between MIA Airport and Dua Miami, Autograph Collection Hotel comes to 7.2 miles (11.6 km) and takes roughly 20–23 minutes down the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), spent in a black SUV or an air-conditioned private van alongside a bilingual driver, on a flat fare that opens at $80 per vehicle. Settled the instant you reserve, that figure runs door to door and never surges.
Each figure buys the vehicle for the entire group and is fixed at the point of booking — simply take the size that suits your party and its bags.
Because everything we run is private, the decision concerns capacity rather than a class of service. Couples, families, and small groups of up to 5 passengers carrying everyday luggage naturally land on the black SUV, or the SUV XL. A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter takes mid-sized parties, seating 6 to 9 in air-conditioned comfort. Larger groups, conference arrivals, and big families move up to the bigger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, which carries 10 to 14 passengers in one journey. Whatever the tier, the vehicle belongs exclusively to your party — nothing is pooled and no seat is ever shared.
Per vehicle, never per person. The whole party travels on the single flat figure printed in the prices list above — two people in the SUV or five, the fare holds steady. Dividing it among everyone aboard is precisely what makes a private transfer such good value.
Across 7.2 miles (11.6 km) the drive usually needs about 20 minutes when the roads are quiet. Morning and evening peaks can stretch the same run nearer 23 minutes, since the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) and its connection toward Brickell carry dense commuter volumes at those hours. The mileage is constant; only the clock moves, according to when you land. Away from the busiest windows the highway runs freely and the ride settles close to its 20-minute floor. Your inbound flight is monitored, so an early or delayed arrival is dealt with automatically and a schedule outside your control never costs you anything. The clearest route of the day is chosen by your driver, though the corridor is short enough that even heavy congestion adds only a few minutes door to door. Set aside roughly 20 to 23 minutes between the terminal and the hotel entrance.
Everything the private ride involves sits inside the flat fare, including the costs that tend to ambush passengers. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are wrapped in, so the road adds nothing further. A bilingual driver and a vehicle reserved for your group are standard, never shared. Kerbside collection belongs to every booking — your driver stands at the terminal kerb as you emerge. A mobile hotspot supplies onboard WiFi. The luggage allowance runs to one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger, loaded for you. And if being met indoors appeals more, an in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is available as an optional paid add-on.
Only a short list of optional extras. The in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is one of them. A child seat beyond the first carries an added fee agreed at booking, and a journey outside daytime hours takes the night surcharge described below. Surplus or oversized bags may mean stepping up to a larger vehicle.
Small animals are welcome given advance notice on WhatsApp, travelling in a carrier. Where children are concerned, a little one under 5 gets the first seat free, and every seat after that carries an extra fee we confirm at booking. Send us ages and numbers beforehand so the correct arrangement is fitted and waiting.
Daytime runs from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM without any surcharge. A journey falling beyond that window collects a modest add-on:
The total is split, so nothing binds you financially until the day arrives.
Twice the one-way figure for whichever vehicle you take — there is no separate booking system and no concealed premium on the return. Both legs are held at the rate above, a 50% deposit secures the reservation, and the balance goes to your driver. A late-night leg adds nothing beyond the night surcharge.
There is — our private van answers exactly that “shuttle” requirement, except it is kept for your group alone and never run as a shared or timetabled pool. The 6-to-9 and 10-to-14 passenger Sprinters take larger parties at the per-vehicle flat fare above, so everybody travels together on a single booking.
Miami does have public transit — a train, a tram, a connecting line — but going that way means changes, walking, and hauling luggage through a multi-leg route. A private transfer removes all of it: one direct ride of about 7.2 miles from the terminal kerb straight to the hotel, with your bags loaded for you.
Simplest of all is a private point-to-point transfer reserved for your group alone, with no detours to gather other riders. Fit the vehicle to the party — black SUV for as many as 5 passengers, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for 6 to 9, or the larger Sprinter for 10 to 14. Hand over your flight number at booking and the driver manages the rest: watching your arrival, moving into position at MIA, and running you straight to the hotel door. The journey being short and heading directly down the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) into Brickell, there is no changing vehicles, no queue to stand in, and no shared seating. One WhatsApp message begins it; confirm the date, the time, and how many are coming, and your driver and rate are secured. From the terminal kerb to Dua Miami, Autograph Collection Hotel it stays a single unbroken private ride.
The hotel sits in the Brickell area of Downtown Miami, a compact, walkable financial district thick with glass high-rises, rooftop bars, and dining by the water. Business towers mingle here with a polished nightlife and shopping scene, and the bayfront lies close enough to give the whole quarter an open, breezy feel. Further detail is available on the hotel’s official website and on its Marriott Autograph Collection listing.
Brickell reads as the contemporary downtown core of Miami — a vertical grid of residential and office towers arranged around an open-air retail and dining quarter. Activity carries on into the evening, with cafés, cocktail lounges, and restaurants occupying the ground floors of the high-rises, while the bay edge lends the district an airy, urban-waterfront quality.
The surrounding Brickell streets hold shopping galleries, art-minded public spaces, riverwalk strolls, and a deep bench of restaurants and rooftop bars. It works equally for business passengers and for visitors wanting a sleek, central base, with cultural venues and the Downtown Miami core a short ride off.
Quick responses to whatever visitors most often want cleared up before reserving a private ride to Dua Miami, Autograph Collection Hotel.
Collection at the kerb is what comes included: your flight is followed and the driver is in place at the terminal kerb as you walk out, so you go straight to the vehicle. Should you prefer someone meeting you inside the terminal with a name sign, that in-terminal greeting is an optional paid add-on arranged while booking.
Nothing alters and nothing further is charged. The inbound aircraft is followed live by your driver, so an early or delayed landing is absorbed by itself and the collection re-times to your genuine arrival. No rebooking, no anxious message — the board is being watched and the plan adjusts.
One checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger is the usual allowance, handled without strain by the SUV or a private van. Carrying surplus or oversized pieces? Message us on WhatsApp beforehand and we will confirm the space or shift you up to a larger van so everything travels with you.
Your rate is a flat fare agreed at booking — traffic, weather, and demand leave it untouched, so what you confirm is what you hand over. Every ride is wholly private: the vehicle carries your group and nobody else, never a pooled or shared load. Your bilingual driver works in English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which makes sorting out the collection and the luggage simple at the end of a long flight. On luggage, the loading is done for you. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built into the rate, leaving nothing to hand over on the road. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot whenever you need to send word ahead or pull up your reservation. Bookings and changes go through WhatsApp to a real person rather than an anonymous queue — one conversation arranges the whole journey.
Tighter coordination and a premium vehicle — a flat rate, a named driver, a pickup keyed to your flight — for a total appreciably beneath Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
