Between MIA Airport and National Hotel, an Adult Only Oceanfront Resort the run takes 5 to 30 minutes over the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), travelled privately in an SUV or van at a fixed price that starts from $80 per vehicle. Waiting for your group is a bilingual driver with either a black SUV or an air-conditioned van reserved solely for you, and no surcharge attaches to any daytime collection between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM.
Vehicle size is the only thing setting your rate — take the tier that fits your party, and the figure quoted buys the entire one-way journey from MIA through to the hotel entrance.
Three private tiers work this route, and the correct one falls out of your head count and the volume of luggage you bring.
Per vehicle, on every single booking. What appears on the price list buys the whole car or van, so a full SUV spreads one total across five people and a full Sprinter across fourteen. No seat-by-seat sums are involved, and occupying every seat costs nothing additional.
Door to door it comes to 5 to 30 minutes, and congestion alone is what moves you around inside that variety. Weekday commuter peaks and the bigger South Beach event weekends push journeys toward the upper figure, while departures early in the morning or midway through the evening usually finish near the lower one. Live traffic gets checked by your driver before setting off and the routing follows from that, so the roads are never your problem to solve. Arriving to check in at the hotel? The spread hardly signifies. Timing a departure out of MIA? The two questions below deserve a moment.
Distance moves with whichever roads your driver takes, which is why we talk in minutes rather than miles. The hotel occupies South Beach on the barrier island of Miami Beach while MIA sits inland on the mainland — a quick expressway hop whose length on any given day is decided by traffic instead of geography.
Work backwards from the check-in time your airline recommends, then add the slower end of the traffic window described above along with a small margin for loading bags at the hotel. Tell us the departure time while booking and we will suggest a collection hour that leaves you comfortable.
There is nothing on your side to put right. The flight is followed live by your driver, who moves the collection to the genuine landing time, so an airline delay never costs you the vehicle. Nothing to rebook, no penalty applied, and no message to send from the aircraft.
One checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger comes with every transfer, which comfortably handles a normal resort stay for most travellers. Where a group packs beyond that — surplus items or oversized pieces — it is seldom a problem: send a short WhatsApp note while booking and we will either confirm that your chosen vehicle has the room or move you into a larger private van so the whole lot travels. Nothing is held back for a second run; the objective is one vehicle, one journey, everybody’s belongings aboard. Uncertain whether your bag count clears the SUV? Give us the number and we will steer you to the right vehicle before you commit to anything.
What the price list shows is the entire cost of an ordinary daytime ride. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel all sit inside the fare — no toll money is ever requested en route and no fuel charge surfaces afterwards. A mobile hotspot gives each vehicle onboard WiFi, letting you text the hotel, look over your booking, or empty an inbox on the way. Climate control chills the cabin the moment you sit down, which matters a great deal in the Miami humidity that catches numerous first-timers off guard.
Three optional items can join the base fare, and each is agreed before you travel. The first is an in-terminal meet-and-greet, where your driver waits inside arrivals holding a name sign instead of standing at the kerb; select it while booking. Child seats follow a plain rule: the first seat for a child under 5 costs nothing, and any seat beyond that carries a fee confirmed at reservation. The third is the night surcharge shown further down this page, which applies to collections outside daytime hours.
Standard rates govern collections made from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Any transfer arranged outside that daytime band takes a modest surcharge, agreed while booking rather than produced on the day:
The fare arrives in two pieces — part of it at the moment you reserve, the remainder passed to your driver in person on travel day.
Nothing beats a private vehicle reserved beforehand. You book prior to flying, we allocate the driver and secure the vehicle, and arrival day looks after itself: pick up the bags, walk out of arrivals, and your driver is at the kerb with the trunk already open. Nothing to search for, no app to launch, no queue to join — the ride runs unbroken from the terminal to the front door of the resort. Couples and solo guests generally take the black SUV, while larger parties reserve a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van so every person and every case travels in one vehicle. Because it is all settled ahead of time, the day you land asks only that you step outside and say hello to your driver.
It is an adults-only oceanfront resort on Collins Avenue, at the centre of South Beach. The building counts among the district’s restored Art Deco landmarks, known for a long palm-flanked pool and a composed, grown-up atmosphere quite unlike the noisier scene along the strip. Between direct beach access, oceanfront lounging, and dining on the premises, numerous guests barely leave the property on their first day. Rooms, restaurants, and pool details can be browsed on the official National Hotel website, and availability checked through the resort’s online reservation page before you arrive.
Since the hotel stands inside the Art Deco Historic District, the neighbourhood is itself the attraction: pastel facades, the neon of Ocean Drive, and pavement cafés occupy the surrounding streets. The pedestrian mall of Lincoln Road supplies shopping and people-watching, while the sand begins immediately behind the property — no road to cross and no gear to carry.
These come up more than anything else in the messages we receive before a booking on this route.
It does, and it is private without exception. Shared or scheduled shuttles are not something we operate; on this route the “shuttle” is a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van booked wholly for your group. It departs when you are ready, calls at no other properties, and never carries a soul from outside your party.
Yes, on two conditions: let us know beforehand over WhatsApp, and travel with a carrier. Once both are in place your pet rides in the cabin beside you, whether you reserved the SUV or one of the vans.
There is. Beyond airport work, the same vehicles and drivers can be engaged as a private hourly chauffeur with a five-hour minimum — useful for a dinner night in South Beach, a day of shopping across several stops, or an event where you would rather the car waited between venues. Raise it at booking and we will set both up together.
Certainly — every transfer operates in both directions, collecting at the resort and setting down at your departure terminal. Reserve the return alongside the arrival, or add it afterwards with one quick message once your departure plans firm up.
Booking in advance removes every unknown from the arrival. The rate settles at the moment of reservation — it will not surge with demand, climb during rush hour, or move because your aircraft lands at a busy time. Drivers are bilingual throughout, working in English alongside Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths matters for international guests and mixed groups. You also hold a direct WhatsApp line to us before, during, and after the journey: should plans change, the person reading your message already knows the booking, rather than a call centre. Set that against landing at a crowded airport and scrambling to arrange transport on the spot with luggage in hand and a phone battery draining. For an adults-only resort stay meant to feel effortless, a private car booked ahead starts the unwinding at the terminal door.
Tighter coordination and a premium vehicle — a flat rate, a named driver, a pickup keyed to your flight — for a total well beneath Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

WhatsApp or email us the flight number, the travel date, how many are coming, and which direction you are heading, and back comes confirmation of the vehicle, the driver, and the collection details — all of it fixed before you fly. High season and event weekends run out of vehicles first, so a few days’ notice is the safer play.

Show de bola. o atendimento por mensagem foi direto e claro, ainda por cima mesmo com trânsito a rota fez sentido.

Picked us up at the curb and dropped at the lobby.
The driver communicated in perfect English and Spanish, which was helpful for my family.
