The private run between MIA Airport and Ramada Plaza Marco Polo Beach Resort stretches 20.7 miles (33.3 km) in a black SUV or private van and fills roughly 39 to 47 minutes door to door, quiet hour to busy one, at a fixed price from $120 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver takes the northbound I-95 express lanes and stands at the curb the moment you walk outside.
Every rate below buys the vehicle outright, set at the moment of booking, with the whole group riding under one flat figure — nothing is ever charged by the head.
Nothing extra attaches to a daytime trip. A ride falling outside daytime hours picks up a modest after-hours charge, applied once per trip according to the vehicle:
Payment stays flexible and is never counted by the head. Venmo, Zelle, and a secure payment link sent ahead of the trip all work, and cash is fine on nearby, close-in pickups. One payment settles the whole group, so nobody has to split anything at the end. Choose your method at booking and the agreed total holds, with the running costs of the trip already folded inside the rate.
A 50% deposit confirms the reservation; the remaining 50% reaches the driver on trip day. Booking both directions costs double the one-way fare, with the return held for whichever day you fly out. It stays one reservation covering arrival and departure, paid in two straightforward halves.
A private van booking — what plenty of guests call a private shuttle — carries a per-vehicle price for the whole group, taken from the fixed price in the pricing section above, never a per-seat charge. Ours stays entirely private: your party alone, with no shared ride and no pooling. Pick the private van for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 passengers and the figure is settled at booking.
Reckon on about 39 minutes with light traffic and as much as 47 at peak, measured door to door. The routing runs north on the I-95 express lanes out of the airport, the most direct paved line toward this stretch of Miami’s oceanfront. Off-peak departures — early morning and the late-evening lull — sit at the lower end of that band, while weekday rush hours and event days pull toward the upper. Your driver reads live road conditions and times the departure so you arrive at the resort without circling or doubling back. The same window governs the return leg to MIA; leave a comfortable check-in cushion depending on whether your flight departs during a rush period or a calmer part of the day.
Early-morning and late-evening runs move quickest, since the express lanes north of the airport stay clear outside the weekday commute, and midday usually flows well too. The heaviest delays cluster around the morning and afternoon rush and on major event days — that is when the upper end of the range takes hold, and your driver plans the departure around it.
Your driver stands curbside at MIA the moment you step out of the terminal, vehicle open and ready to load — and that curbside pickup sits inside the rate. Would you rather be met inside at baggage claim beside a name sign? The in-terminal meet-and-greet is available as an optional paid add-on you request when booking.
Nothing shifts and no penalty appears. Your driver follows the inbound flight in real time and re-times the pickup on his own, so an early or delayed arrival simply moves the curbside meet. The flat fare stays exactly as booked. No app to reopen, no car to request again — the flight number is already being watched.
Three private tiers cover this route, paired to how many guests and bags are traveling together:
Torn between two sizes? Send the headcount and bag count and we confirm the right vehicle before you book — nothing left to work out at the curb.
Simplest is a private transfer arranged ahead: choose the vehicle that suits the group, then walk out of MIA to a driver already standing at the curb. A black SUV or SUV XL takes up to five guests with their bags. A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van handles larger parties of six to nine or ten to fourteen. After landing there is no app to open and no line to join — you step outside, load up, and head straight for the oceanfront resort. Your driver knows the terminal layout and the curbside flow, so the journey starts the second you reach the sidewalk. That same private service handles the return leg from the resort back to MIA whenever you are ready to fly home.
A single message does it. Send the flight number, pickup time, party size, and any extra bags by WhatsApp or email, and the vehicle is held in your name with the flat price confirmed in the reply. Nothing to grab at the airport and nothing to install. The return leg from the resort is arranged the same way, inside the same conversation.
Your fixed price reaches well past the drive itself. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel all sit inside the number, so nothing is tacked on when you pull up at the resort. The reserved private vehicle and the driver are standard, and onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, letting you confirm the room or message ahead while you travel. What you are quoted is what the entire vehicle costs — the running expenses of the trip live inside it rather than waiting to appear at the door.
A few optional extras fall beyond the base rate. A ride outside daytime hours adds an after-hours charge by vehicle type, and child seats past the first free one carry a small fee confirmed at booking. Anything additional is agreed in advance, so the total you approve is the total you hand over on trip day.
Both, with a little notice. The first child seat for a child under five rides free; each seat after that carries a small fee confirmed when you book. Small pets travel too, inside a carrier — send a quick WhatsApp note beforehand so the driver expects them. Neither takes more than a message to set up before travel day.
Each passenger brings one checked bag plus one carry-on, stowed comfortably in the SUV or van. Traveling with extra or oversized pieces? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the space or move you up to a larger private van. Better to settle it in advance than leave you guessing at the curb.
Ramada Plaza Marco Polo Beach Resort stands on Miami’s Atlantic barrier coast, the kind of oceanfront property where the beach is the entire point. Guests walk from the lobby toward sand, ocean swimming, and the broad seaside promenade culture that shapes this piece of shoreline. Around it, high-rise condo living mixes with casual beachfront dining, cafes, and small shops, so a full day rarely strays far from the water. Upscale shopping, golf, and the wider Miami dining and nightlife scene sit a short drive off for anyone who wants more than sand. Rooms, dining, and resort amenities are previewed on the official resort website, with a visitor overview on the Greater Miami visitor guide. Our transfer sets you down right at the resort entrance, bags and all.
The beach sets the rhythm of most days here — swimming, sunbathing, long walks on the sand. Away from the water the neighborhood puts casual oceanfront restaurants, coffee spots, and boutique shopping within easy reach, alongside the watersports and poolside idling you expect of a Miami beach resort. Evenings lean toward seaside dining and unhurried people-watching along the shore.
It is — a beachfront resort facing the Atlantic, which puts the sand and the water steps from the building rather than across town. That waterfront position is the whole draw: morning swims, beach loungers, and sea views from many rooms. Your private transfer pulls up at the entrance, leaving you minutes from the water on arrival.
Airport collection for this resort comes from MIA, and cruise collection from PortMiami. Heading out, we also drive you onward — to other South Florida airports, seaports, or cities — as a private door-to-door transfer. A stay at the resort can therefore bookend a flight into MIA and a departure from wherever you need to be next.
Yes. Every booking comes with a direct WhatsApp line to the team and to your driver, so a changed flight, a new pickup time, or an added bag takes one message. Nothing routes you through a call center or an app queue — you reach the people running your particular trip. Send the update and the reservation moves.
Booking a private car means the vehicle is held in your name and sized to your party, so you climb aboard knowing the space, the price, and the person driving were all settled before you touched down. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English together with Spanish or Portuguese, which keeps pickup coordination straightforward even when a flight upends the plan at the last minute. There is no detour to drop anyone off and no waiting around before you set out. All told it makes for a calmer, more deliberate arrival than piecing the trip together on the curb.
A tighter, more upscale arrangement — flat fare, a named driver, a pickup timed to your flight — for a considerably lower total than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Made the booking from the gate, tried Uber on the way down, this was the better call. wifi worked, kids stayed busy on the way. Glad I picked this option.
Todo perfecto. Nada de llamar mil veces, nada de líos en el pickup. (con 3 carry-ons y 2 maletas grandes)
Reservei e deu tudo certo, primeira vez arrumando o traslado antes, tranquilo.
Éramos ocho y la camioneta lucía nueva y bien mantenida.
Vale cada peso, hizo que llegar a Miami se sintiera fácil.
