The private run between Miami International Airport and Miami Lakes covers 7.2 miles (11.6 km) in roughly 20–23 minutes along the Palmetto Expressway (SR-826), in a black SUV or private van from $120 for the vehicle. A bilingual chauffeur waits at the curb, so you step out of the terminal and go straight to your door.
Each fare is flat, charged against the vehicle, and fixed the moment you reserve — just select the size that suits your group.
The trip spans 7.2 miles (11.6 km) and takes about 20 minutes with clear roads. In the morning and evening peaks the same run stretches to around 23, because the Palmetto Expressway (SR-826) carries considerably more commuter traffic at those hours. That figure is door to door, measured from the MIA curb to a Miami Lakes address rather than terminal to highway. Most arrivals reach Miami Lakes in well under half an hour either way. If you are heading the other direction to catch a flight, schedule the pickup with a comfortable cushion and your chauffeur will time the leg around your departure.
It cannot. Whatever the Palmetto Expressway does at five in the afternoon, the number agreed at booking is the number that stands. Nothing surges and no meter runs — one flat figure per vehicle carries the whole trip, so a crawl costs you exactly what a clear road would.
Curbside, and it is already inside the fare: your chauffeur waits in the arrivals pickup area, ready as you exit the terminal with your bags. Would you rather be met inside with a name sign at baggage claim? That in-terminal meet-and-greet is offered as an optional paid add-on you ask for when booking.
Your chauffeur follows the inbound flight in real time and shifts the pickup automatically, so an early or late landing is never a problem. You do not need to rebook or send an update — by the time you clear the terminal, the car is already waiting at the curb, and the re-timing costs nothing.
A door-to-door transfer reserved in your name. The vehicle is chosen when you book — black SUV for up to 5 guests, private Sprinter van for 6 to 9, bigger private van for 10 to 14. Your chauffeur is at the curb as you walk out, takes the luggage, and drives up the Palmetto Expressway (SR-826) to the Miami Lakes address you gave. No rideshare line to join, nothing slipped into the route, and the car answers only to your booking from terminal to front door. One message settles the pickup time, the headcount, and the destination. The same arrangement runs back from Miami Lakes to MIA whenever you need it.
Send the flight number, the arrival date, how many passengers, and the Miami Lakes address over WhatsApp or email. Back comes the vehicle and the fare in writing; a deposit secures it and the chauffeur is tied to your flight from that point. A day’s notice works best if you need one of the larger vans.
Yes, and it is the sensible move for Miami Lakes. Send your flight details and headcount by WhatsApp or email, pay the deposit, and your vehicle and fare are settled. Booking ahead is what secures the right van size on a busy day rather than leaving it to whatever happens to be free.
Pick by group size and luggage — each option below is held for your party.
One checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, which the SUV or van manages without difficulty. Carrying extra or oversized pieces? Message us on WhatsApp ahead of time — we confirm the room or move you up to a larger private van so everything rides comfortably rather than being wedged in.
We operate a private van, never a shared shuttle. The whole vehicle is held for your group at one fixed price per vehicle rather than per person, so the figure listed above covers everyone on board. A Sprinter van seats 6 to 9 or 10 to 14, with no other passengers riding along and no scheduled stops on the way.
Costs that usually surface at the end are already inside the figure. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are baked in, so what you confirm is what you pay. Every vehicle carries onboard WiFi from a mobile hotspot, and the allowance runs to one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger. A child under 5 gets the first seat free. The whole thing stays private to your group, terminal to door.
An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on, separate from the curbside pickup already included. Every child seat past the first carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Extra or oversized bags and trips outside daytime hours can also add to the total.
Daytime hours are 7 AM to 9 PM with no added cost. Trips falling outside that window carry a small surcharge, applied per trip on top of the flat fare:
Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp and must travel in a carrier. For families, the first child seat is free for a child under 5, and any extra seats are confirmed at booking. Tell us the ages and the headcount and we set the vehicle up correctly before it leaves for the airport.
In two halves: a deposit at reservation, the balance on the day. Venmo, Zelle, and a secure payment link are all accepted, with cash fine on nearby, close-in pickups. Half secures the booking and half goes to your chauffeur on trip day. Everything is put in writing beforehand, which leaves nothing to sort out at the curb when you land.
The 50% deposit is taken at booking, and that is what locks in your vehicle and your price. The remaining 50% goes directly to the chauffeur on trip day by whichever method you prefer. Splitting it this way confirms the reservation while keeping the final balance easy to settle in person.
Simply double the one-way price for the same vehicle — one charge for the airport-to-Miami-Lakes leg and one for the way back. Reserve both directions together and your chauffeur is scheduled for the pickup and the drop-off, with the return timed around your departure flight.
Miami Lakes is a planned community out in northwest Miami-Dade, recognisable by its tree-lined residential streets, its man-made lakes, and a walkable town center packed with shops, restaurants, and cafes. There is no high-rise skyline here; the character is quiet and suburban, with golf, parks, and green space threaded through the neighbourhood and a cluster of business parks and corporate offices keeping a steady flow of work visitors coming. That combination makes it a practical, comfortable base whether you are visiting family, attending a conference, or working somewhere along the northwest corridor. For a fuller picture, see this guide to the Miami Lakes neighborhood.
The town center anchors the dining and shopping, while the surrounding business parks hold offices and corporate campuses. Golf, lakeside paths, and community parks fill out the leisure side. The setting is residential and calm, which makes it a handy stay for conference attendees, relocating families, and travelers who would rather have space than a downtown crowd.
Your chauffeur is bilingual, speaking English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which keeps coordinating the pickup and the address simple even at the end of a long day. You message an actual person on WhatsApp to set the time, adjust details, or check in on arrival day. Bags are handled at the curb, the seating matches your headcount, and the trip runs direct from MIA to Miami Lakes without a single stop added. It amounts to an upscale ride designed around one group rather than a queue.
A more organised, more upscale arrangement — one agreed fare, a named chauffeur, a pickup keyed to your flight — for a notably smaller total than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Última etaa de un día largo sin complicaciones.
Recommend. All good. No hassle. Quick pickup.
Loved it: well-maintained interior, no clutter at all, what I paid matched what I got, didn’t have to negotiate or wait for anyone.
After a 9-hour flight, family trip with two little ones, the driver was friendly and easy to talk to. no waving down anyone, the car was where they said. Will book ahead next visit.
