Going privately out to the InterContinental Miami Hotel puts 7.2 miles (11.6 km) behind you in roughly 20–23 minutes, seated in a black SUV or a climate-controlled private van with a bilingual chauffeur at the wheel, on a flat fare that begins at $80 per vehicle. The line into downtown Miami runs along the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) and I-95, one reserved vehicle carrying your group the whole way, door to door.
All of these are flat per-vehicle figures, pinned at the moment of booking — pick the size that matches your party and everybody travels together on that one number.
This hotel occupies the downtown bayfront, planted in the middle of the city’s financial and business quarter and looking out over Biscayne Bay. It is a full-service waterfront property, encircled by office towers, bayfront promenades, shops, and a dense run of restaurants, with the Brickell district’s dining and nightlife a short way off and walkable downtown attractions all around. That position works equally for business guests with city-center meetings and for visitors after a polished base near the water, the sporting and cultural venues, and the downtown cruise and convention activity. Room types, on-site amenities, dining, and current rates are all published on the InterContinental Miami official website, while reservations and loyalty details live on the IHG hotel page.
Downtown Miami, on the Biscayne Bay waterfront, inside the central business district. Bayfront shopping and restaurants are a few steps away, and the Brickell area’s offices, dining, and nightlife are a quick hop. The whole setting is urban and walkable, oriented toward the water and the city core.
Within easy reach are bayfront shopping and dining, waterside promenades, downtown cultural and sports venues, and the busy restaurant and nightlife scene over in Brickell. A good deal of it is walkable straight from the entrance, which is what makes the property a practical base for leisure days and a packed downtown work schedule alike.
Booking a private vehicle in advance, one that collects you at MIA and drives to the hotel entrance, is the least complicated option. Start by matching the vehicle to the party: a black SUV takes up to five passengers with luggage, a private Sprinter van seats six to nine, and a bigger private van handles ten to fourteen. You reserve by email or over WhatsApp, pass along the flight number and how many bags you have, and the vehicle comes back confirmed in writing. Landing, there is nothing to launch and nobody to queue behind — the driver is already assigned to your party and goes directly to the InterContinental Miami without detours or added stops. The same reservation runs in reverse on departure day, making the hotel-to-airport leg just as direct. One coordinated trip, terminal door to hotel door.
Budget somewhere around 20 to 23 minutes, traffic depending. In the quiet hours — early morning, late evening, the calmer stretch mid-day — those 7.2 miles into downtown Miami come closest to 20. Through the morning and evening rush, as commuter volume swells toward and away from the city core, the same distance edges up nearer 23. Downtown weather and special events can add a little at the top end, but with your fare settled beforehand a slower drive never lifts the price: the clock moves, the cost does not. Pickup is set around the hour of day so your group leaves the terminal without idling and reaches the hotel with time in hand. Heading back to MIA, a generous cushion goes into the schedule so check-in and security are never a rush.
Everything we run is private, in three sizes, so the vehicle answers both your headcount and your baggage. Choose on people and bags, and be clear that whichever you take is held exclusively for your group.
The flat per-vehicle figure absorbs the entire door-to-door drive plus the expenses that usually blindside passengers. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel all sit inside it, so nothing is appended for the highways or the mileage. Onboard WiFi arrives through a mobile hotspot, letting you work or stay reachable on the way into downtown. The usual allowance of one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger is in there too. A bilingual driver and the reserved private vehicle belong to that same fare. What you confirm applies to the vehicle rather than the person, so the whole group moves for the single amount.
Only a few optional items land outside the base fare. Being met inside the terminal by a driver holding a name sign is a paid add-on for anyone who would rather not do the curbside version. Beyond the first complimentary child seat, each further seat carries a small fee confirmed while booking. Journeys outside daytime hours pick up the night addition set out below.
The daytime band, 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM, carries no surcharge. Anything scheduled outside it takes a modest after-hours amount on top of the trip value.
The total is split so that booking stays light and the rest clears on the day you ride. A 50% deposit holds the reservation and the other 50% goes straight to the driver when you travel. Both directions come to twice the one-way figure for whichever vehicle you chose, billed as one booking covering the pair of legs. Methods stay flexible and the process stays plain — the deposit secures your vehicle and your price, and nothing moves between booking and arrival.
Both are, yes. Small pets can ride given advance notice on WhatsApp and a carrier for the journey. For families, one child seat for a child under five comes free; anything beyond that adds a fee we agree when you book. Send the ages and the number of seats ahead of the day so the right setup is fitted and waiting.
The driver stands curbside at MIA Airport as you come out with the luggage, and that curbside collection is part of your fare. Once you are on the ground we pin down the exact spot over WhatsApp, so nobody wanders between terminals and pickup lanes looking for a car. Would you rather be greeted inside the building with a name sign? The in-terminal meet-and-greet is available as an optional paid add-on; otherwise the curbside meet is the normal, included arrangement. Your driver is allocated to your group before arrival, so the vehicle is reserved and ready instead of summoned on the spot. For the return, we agree a hotel-entrance time that leaves a comfortable margin for the drive, check-in, and security, so you are not chasing the gate.
The biggest single advantage is a flat fare secured the instant you reserve — untouched by traffic, hour, or demand, so the number you confirm is the number you settle. Your chauffeur is bilingual in English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which makes organizing the pickup and any luggage details easy. Booking and questions travel over a direct WhatsApp line, putting you in touch with a real person instead of an app queue. Should the party arrive with extra or oversized bags, a quick word beforehand lets us confirm the room or move you into a larger private van. Vehicle, driver, timing — all of it is settled before you touch down, so landing at MIA feels measured rather than a scramble for a ride.
Yes — private drop-offs run to PortMiami, which suits the hotel’s downtown bayfront position near the cruise terminals. A great many guests pair an MIA arrival and a hotel night with a sailing the next day, so we will set up a private transfer from the InterContinental Miami straight to your ship’s terminal in the same reserved vehicle class. The same flat-per-vehicle structure applies, tolls and fuel included, and it is arranged in advance over WhatsApp so the timing lines up with your boarding window. With both the port and the hotel sitting in the downtown core, the hop is short and direct. Disembarkation days work the other way round too, moving your group from the port to the hotel or onward, which keeps the whole sequence of stops running through one contact rather than several separate rides.
Resort fees, room rates, and similar hotel charges are the property’s to set, not ours, so check them directly on the official site linked above. What we control is separate and simple: your transfer is a flat per-vehicle fare with tolls and fuel already inside it, so the ride carries no add-on charges.
By the car. Whether a single passenger rides or a full group does, you settle the one flat fare shown above for the size you selected, and everybody shares it. There is no per-head charge and no surge, so the cost holds however many seats end up occupied.
One checked bag and one carry-on per passenger sit inside the fare, and the vehicles are chosen with bag room in mind — the SUV takes five passengers plus their cases comfortably, and the vans scale up from there. Groups with extra or oversized pieces should message us ahead so we can confirm the space or move you up to a larger private van.
Your driver follows the inbound flight as it moves and shifts the pickup on its own. A delay simply pushes the meeting time out to your real landing — nothing extra is charged for the re-timing and nothing needs re-booking. The vehicle stays held for your group, so you are met whenever you actually walk out.
No — it sits in downtown Miami on the bay, across the water from the Miami Beach barrier island rather than on the sand itself. If the beach is part of your plans, private transfers run there as well and a drop-off can be arranged in the same reserved vehicle, booked in advance through WhatsApp alongside your airport ride.
Pet policy is the hotel’s own, so confirm the dog details on its official site. On our side, small pets travel in our vehicles with advance notice on WhatsApp, provided they are in a carrier. Tell us beforehand and the driver is prepared with the right vehicle assigned.
Booking a private transfer takes parking and rental costs out of the picture entirely — you are set down at the entrance and collected from it, so there is no car to garage. Guests who do drive pay whatever the hotel charges, confirmed with the property directly; that is wholly separate from your flat transfer fare.
Reserve by email or WhatsApp with the flight number, group size, and bag count, and the vehicle and flat price come back confirmed in writing. The 50% deposit secures both the booking and the rate, with the remaining 50% paid to the driver on trip day. Booking early is what holds the vehicle size you want, and that matters most for the larger vans.

First class service. I used them last year and again this trip. (20-minute pickup window worked for me)
Long trip up to Orlando was made wonderful by the smooth ride and comfortable car.
