A private Black SUV or a climate-controlled van covers the journey between MIA Airport and Nobu Hotel Miami Beach in either direction — 11.1 miles (17.8 km), roughly 31 to 33 minutes along the Julia Tuttle Causeway (I-195) — for a fixed price from $80 per vehicle. Reserve in advance and the vehicle, the driver and the pickup plan are all settled before your flight leaves the ground.

Nobu Hotel Miami Beach is a luxury oceanfront property along the calmer Mid-Beach stretch of the city.
The hotel blends Japanese-inspired design with a beachfront position: rooms and suites face the Atlantic, the pool deck sits steps from the sand, and the in-house Nobu restaurant serves its signature Japanese-Peruvian menu without anyone leaving the property. Guests tend to be couples, spa-weekenders and longer leisure stays, and the mood matches — this is the part of Miami Beach people choose when they want the ocean without the late-night noise. For arriving guests that calm is the whole appeal: you step out of the vehicle, hand over the bags, and the holiday begins right at the driveway.
Mid-Beach is the unhurried side of Miami Beach: oceanfront condos, resort pools, neighborhood restaurants and a long public beachwalk instead of crowded nightlife strips. The beach itself, right behind the hotel, is the headline attraction. When your group wants more energy, South Beach’s Art Deco District, Lincoln Road shopping and Ocean Drive nightlife all sit to the south.
One private vehicle, one driver, straight from door to door — that is this route in a sentence.
It really comes down to group size: a Black SUV for smaller parties, a private van when you are travelling with family, colleagues or a wedding group. Either way arrival day is quick — land, collect the bags, step outside and ride. Your driver handles the loading, the route and the drop-off at the hotel entrance while your group settles into the air conditioning. Nothing is left to chance at the airport: no counter to hunt down, no line to wait in, no fare to negotiate at the end of a long flight. The same arrangement serves hotel guests heading back the other way, so whichever direction you travel, the trip is set up once and runs with no decisions left for the day itself.
Reckon on about 31 minutes off-peak, rising to roughly 33 at peak, door to door.
Weekday rush hours create the gap, and even then the range stays narrow because the trip is short and mostly highway. Departures in the middle of the day, in the late evening or at the weekend usually finish at the low end of the window, while weekday late afternoons hit the high end. If your ride connects to a dinner reservation, a spa appointment or an event at the hotel, tell us when you book and we build a cushion into the pickup. The estimate already accounts for ordinary Miami traffic, so there is no need to pad it — the number shown here is the number to plan against.
Your driver waits at the arrivals curb, stationed just outside the exit nearest your baggage claim.
Curbside pickup comes standard with every booking: you finish at baggage claim, walk outside, and the vehicle is already parked in place rather than looping around the airport. The driver loads your luggage and off you go. Would you rather be met inside the terminal? An in-terminal meet-and-greet is available — the driver stands past baggage claim holding a sign with your name and escorts your group out to the vehicle. That meet-and-greet is an optional paid add-on rather than part of the base rate, so ask for it when you book and we set it up for your arrival.
Nothing changes for you. The driver follows your inbound flight in real time and works off the genuine landing rather than the printed one, so a late arrival simply pushes the pickup back. Keep your phone on once you land in case we need to reach you, walk out whenever you are ready, and the car will be waiting.
Three private tiers serve this route, matched to how many people are riding.
Booking questions on this route come up again and again, so the most common ones are answered below — what counts as a shuttle, whether the ride is truly nonstop, extra bags and pets. Every answer holds in both travel directions.
In our service, a private shuttle means a Sprinter van reserved under your name with a dedicated driver. The van rates appear in the price section at the top of this page and are charged per vehicle, so one figure covers your whole party however you fill the seats.
Yes — that is exactly what a private transfer is. Your driver takes the group from the MIA arrivals area to the hotel entrance in one continuous ride: no connections, no waits between legs, no dragging suitcases down sidewalks. Bags go in at the airport and come out at the hotel, nothing in between.
Message us on WhatsApp before travel day and tell us what you are bringing. We either confirm the room in your booked vehicle or move you up to a larger van so nothing gets left behind. Extra and oversized pieces are rarely an issue when we know about them ahead of time.
Yes — small pets are welcome under two conditions: tell us in advance over WhatsApp, and bring a pet carrier for the ride. With those two handled, your pet travels in the cabin with your group for the whole trip, in either direction of the route.
The rate covers the vehicle, the driver, every road cost and a standard luggage allowance.
Two things. Pickups outside daytime hours carry a night supplement — the exact figures are in the night tariff section just below. Child seats work on a simple rule: the first is free for a child under five, and each extra seat carries an added fee we confirm at booking.
Yes — pickups outside the daytime window of 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM add a supplement on top of the base rate:
Pay half when you book and the other half to the driver on trip day.
Venmo, Zelle and a secure payment link all work, and cash suits nearby, close-in pickups. The arrangement is straightforward: a 50 percent deposit holds your reservation, and the other 50 percent goes to the driver in person on travel day. Nothing has to be paid in full up front, and nothing beyond that balance is collected at the hotel.
Yes — a round trip is exactly twice the one-way rate, with no markup on the return leg. Reserve both legs together, give us your arrival flight and your departure flight, and the same deposit-plus-balance split applies to the combined total, so both rides are settled through a single exchange.
Yes — the same private service runs from the hotel back to MIA Airport.
For departures we time the hotel pickup around your flight, your airline’s terminal area and the traffic expected that day, then send the driver to the hotel entrance with time to spare. Give us the airline and the departure hour at booking and we propose a pickup time; you confirm it or adjust it. Drop-offs are not limited to MIA either — when your journey continues elsewhere, we also run from the hotel to other airports, ports and cities throughout the region, with the same vehicles and the same booking process.
Yes. Cruise travelers book the same private SUV or van from Nobu Hotel Miami Beach to PortMiami, and the driver sets the group down right at the ship’s terminal entrance. We also collect at PortMiami, so both the hotel-to-port and the port-to-hotel directions are covered.
The rate you book is the rate you pay — no surge, no traffic adjustment.
That price certainty sits at the heart of the service, but it is not the only advantage. The vehicle is held for your group alone — nobody else aboard, no side trips to collect other passengers. Your driver is bilingual, working in English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which helps when part of your group is more at ease in another language or when arrival details need passing along to relatives flying in separately. And you deal with people rather than an app: a direct WhatsApp line reaches us before, during and after the trip, so a changed flight, an added passenger or one more suitcase gets sorted in a single message instead of a support queue.
A tighter, more premium arrangement — a fixed price, a named driver, a pickup timed to the flight — for a noticeably smaller total than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Don’t worry — we’ll text you as soon as your flight lands. If we don’t hear back quickly, the driver will default to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll find you; we never leave anyone behind.
Domestic flights: up to 60 minutes after arrival
International flights: 120 minutes of complimentary wait time
Hotel pickups: 15-minute grace period
Port pickups: up to 60 minutes after the agreed time
This rarely happens, since we already include two free hours of wait time. If you’re still inside the airport after that, the ride may be marked as a no-show. You can request additional wait time — US$ 30 per extra 30-minute block, paid in cash to the driver.
Absolutely — our drivers will assist with your luggage.
The standard allowance is one large suitcase plus one carry-on per person. Planning to travel with larger items or extras — more suitcases, musical instruments, mobility equipment, or strollers? Contact us in advance so we can accommodate you; an additional charge may apply.
Yes — small pets are allowed, but they must remain in a secure carrier. Please let us know in advance.
We include one free child car seat for children under five. If you need an additional seat, request it in advance; the cost is US$ 15.
We ask that you not eat during the trip. Water in sealed bottles is the only drink permitted.
Unscheduled stops aren’t included in the base rate, but if you arrange a short, nearby stop in advance, we can accommodate it. A small fee may apply based on the extra time.
Of course. Give us at least 24 hours’ notice and, subject to availability, we’ll adjust your pickup time.
What you see is what you pay — no hidden fees. Driver gratuity is at your discretion and always appreciated.
