Travel privately between MIA Airport and Costa Hollywood Beach Resort and you cover 24.2 miles (39 km) in roughly 46–53 minutes on the I-95 Express lanes, riding a Black SUV for a flat $120 per vehicle. Bring a bigger group and the identical door-to-door service arrives as a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van.
Here is how the one-way private rates fall, each of them charged by vehicle:
Curbside, in the pickup area, with the driver already waiting as your group steps out of the terminal — that curbside meet belongs to the rate. Would an indoor greeting suit you better? An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on arranged when you book. Either way, someone is in place before you walk out.
Your flight is watched, so a delay looks after itself. The driver follows the inbound aircraft live and shifts the pickup to your genuine touchdown — nothing extra to pay and nothing to re-book. Whether you arrive early or hours behind the timetable, the pickup re-times to reality and your group is met at the door.
Reserve the private transfer before you fly and the driver takes the I-95 Express lanes north, running without interruption to Costa Hollywood Beach Resort. Vehicle choice follows the group: a Black SUV for up to five passengers, or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van when more of you are traveling. The driver greets your arrival at the airport and then covers the single leg to the resort entrance — one vehicle, one stop, nothing to connect or transfer between. Since the northbound express lanes keep flowing while local streets seize up, your arrival time holds steady from terminal to lobby. Straight off a flight, with luggage and a group landing together, it is the most direct way onto this stretch of the Hollywood coast.
A WhatsApp message or an email with your flight number, arrival date, passenger count and the resort as destination. Back comes the assigned vehicle and a confirmed pickup time ahead of travel, which means nothing needs sorting at the curb after a long flight. Shifting the time or the vehicle beforehand is simple enough.
Three private tiers work this route, every one of them held for your group alone — pick by how many people and how many bags are coming:
Torn between two? Give us the passenger and bag count at booking and the right vehicle gets assigned, with a move up to the bigger van whenever there is more to carry.
No — all three options are wholly private. There is no grouping with strangers, and the vehicle you reserve carries your party alone from MIA through to the resort. “Shuttle” in this context simply describes a private van booked under your name rather than a shared or scheduled run, so the cabin, the route and the timing are yours.
One checked bag plus one carry-on per traveler is the standard, which leaves a full SUV or van handling a group’s usual luggage with space left over. Packing heavier, or carrying something oversized? Send a WhatsApp message ahead of time and we confirm the room or move you up to a larger private van — the point is to fit everything without a squeeze.
There is. Small pets travel with advance notice by WhatsApp and must ride in a pet carrier. Flagging it at booking means the driver and the vehicle turn up ready, with space allocated for the carrier beside your group and the bags. Just add it to the reservation and nobody is surprised at pickup.
By vehicle, never by passenger. One set fare carries the whole group, so five people in the SUV pay exactly what a solo rider pays. Two directions come to double that one-way figure. Nothing is calculated by headcount, which means a fuller vehicle simply works out better per seat.
Vehicle, driver and every operating cost of the drive live inside the flat price: each toll, every SunPass charge and all the fuel along the way is accounted for in advance, so nothing from the road comes back to you afterward. A mobile hotspot runs the onboard WiFi, letting your group message ahead, share a live location, or stay connected the whole way north. The rate is built to stand on its own — what you book is meant to carry your party from airport to resort without a surprise fee appearing mid-trip. Only a short list of items falls outside it, and each one is agreed at booking rather than sprung on you. Just below, you will find which extra charges can arise, how small pets are handled, and what the luggage allowance looks like when you are carrying more than usual.
Almost everything sits inside the flat fare, though a few extras exist. A first child seat for a child under five is free; each further child seat adds a small fee set at booking. Rides beginning outside daytime hours carry a late-night surcharge, which has its own section below. Anything optional gets agreed up front instead of appearing afterward.
Daytime pickups add nothing. Begin a trip outside those daytime hours and a small after-hours amount applies, set by vehicle:
Payment arrives in two pieces: a 50% deposit locks and holds the booking, and the driver takes the remaining 50% on trip day. Send the deposit however suits you — Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link — and cash works for nearby, close-in pickups. Once it clears, your vehicle and pickup time are written into the calendar under your name. There is no separate online checkout to wrestle with and no card kept on file: you send the deposit by your preferred method, then settle up directly with the driver once the trip finishes. Receipts are available for either portion on request. That keeps the money side plain — half to reserve, half on arrival, and a total that matches your quote.
A round trip comes to double the one-way fare, the same rate in each direction, booked together so a single operator handles your arrival and your return. Both pickup times are set at reservation, and the deposit covers the entire round trip from the start. Each leg is driven, and the return ride sits on the calendar exactly as the arrival does.
Door to door, the 24.2-mile journey occupies about 46 to 53 minutes, and where you land in that band depends on whether you arrive off-peak or in the thick of it. Light traffic wraps the northbound run in roughly 46 minutes; commuter peaks and busy beach-season afternoons stretch it toward 53. Because the express lanes carry most of the distance, the timing stays dependable even while the regular lanes crawl. Your driver takes whichever northbound line is quickest at your arrival hour, which keeps the estimate honest across the day. The true door-to-door figure also depends on how fast your bags appear and how crowded the terminal roadway is, though the driving portion holds within that band. Working toward a check-in or a Hollywood dinner reservation? Allowing about an hour from touchdown to the resort lobby is the safe, realistic call.
Somewhat. The run is quickest in light traffic, and weekday rush hours plus crowded beach-season afternoons add a handful of minutes. Since the northbound express lanes soak up most of the congestion, even a peak-hour trip lands close to the off-peak figure. Your driver picks the fastest route for that hour, which keeps your arrival dependable.
The resort occupies a walkable beach district on Ocean Drive in Hollywood, Florida, a short stroll from both the sand and the oceanfront promenade. Resort-town character meets an easy, low-key rhythm here: open-air restaurants, ice-cream counters, beach bars and shops run along the pedestrian boardwalk beside the shore. Beach time, casual seafood and sunset walks fill the days rather than any hurried city agenda. The property itself is modern, built around courtyards, pools and dining, and it pulls in vacationing families as readily as couples after something quieter than the beachfronts farther south. There is more on the Costa Hollywood Beach Resort official site, along with current room and package deals under the resort’s book-direct offers. As a beach-first base for a Hollywood stay, it is an easy one.
The beach comes first — swimming, sunbathing, and a long pedestrian promenade made for biking, jogging and unhurried evening walks. Ringing it are casual seafood spots, open-air cafes, ice-cream stands and small shops. Calm and family-friendly, this stretch lends itself to beach days, sunset dinners and easy strolling far more than to nightlife.
Yes. The resort stands in the oceanfront district right off the beach, putting the shoreline and the promenade a short walk from the property — once you have checked in, the car stays parked. That walkable arrangement is a large part of why guests pick this stretch of Hollywood for a laid-back beach stay.
We do. Collections begin at MIA, but private drop-offs also run from Costa Hollywood Beach Resort to other airports, Fort Lauderdale among them. Booking works the same way, with the driver collecting your group at the resort and delivering you to the terminal. As a different route, that fare gets quoted at reservation.
A vehicle goes under your name and the fare is fixed the instant you book, so the price never moves with traffic, demand, or the hour you land. Your driver is bilingual — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — which keeps the meetup, the directions and any last-second change easy to sort. A real person answers on WhatsApp before, during and after the ride rather than an app queue, so a schedule tweak or a new pickup time is settled in one message. Your party travels together in a single Black SUV or private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, with one driver and one point of contact from booking through drop-off. For a group flying into MIA and heading up to the Hollywood coast, that adds up to a known cost and a driver already expecting you as you step outside.
A steadier, more polished service — a flat fare, a named driver, a pickup timed to your flight — for a good deal less overall than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
