A private Black SUV or Sprinter van running between Miami International Airport and TownePlace Suites Miami Airport West/Doral Area Hotel covers 8.8 miles (14.2 km) in roughly 19 to 26 minutes by way of the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), from a fixed $80 for the vehicle. Your bilingual chauffeur stands by at the curb as you step out of the terminal.
Here are the per-vehicle rates for this route, billed once for your whole group and fixed at the moment you reserve — a slower run never changes what you owe.
Reckon on about 19 minutes off-peak and up to 26 during busy hours across the 8.8 miles. The path leaves MIA and takes the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) westbound into the Doral area where the hotel sits. Early mornings and late evenings flow freely and finish near the shorter end of the range. Midday and the afternoon rush thicken traffic on SR-836 and nudge the drive toward the 26-minute mark. Your chauffeur keeps an eye on live conditions and takes the clearer route whenever the expressway clogs, holding the door-to-door time as short as the roads permit on your travel day.
Your chauffeur is at the curb as you come out of the terminal, and that meeting sits inside the rate rather than beside it. The car stands in the arrivals pickup zone, and a WhatsApp message reaches you the moment you step outside. Would you rather somebody waited inside the building with a name sign? That version is a paid upgrade you attach when booking.
Nothing changes for you. Your chauffeur follows the inbound flight in real time and moves the pickup to your actual landing, whether you are ahead of schedule or delayed. A late arrival never bumps the amount you owe either. You simply walk out and find the driver waiting at the curb.
One vehicle, matched to your headcount, held for nobody else. Parties of five or fewer take a Black SUV; six through nine go in a private Sprinter van; ten through fourteen take the larger one. Everything is arranged beforehand from your flight number, terminal, and passenger count, and a single chauffeur is written onto that job. That means no app to open when you land and no queue to join. The car is already parked, your bags go in, and it turns west for the hotel without a single detour — gate to front entrance in one movement.
Just a message carrying the arrival date, the flight number, the terminal, and how many of you there are. Back comes the vehicle and the pickup arrangement by WhatsApp or email; a 50% deposit holds it, and the chauffeur assigned to you is at MIA on the day itself.
It comes down to how many people and how many bags. Up to 5 passengers fit the private Black SUV or SUV XL, which is what couples, small families, and business travelers usually take. Six to nine go in the private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, the sensible answer for a larger family or a small team. Ten to fourteen take the bigger private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, so a large group stays in one cabin instead of splitting across two cars.
For seven to nine people, the private Sprinter van for 6 to 9 passengers is the answer. Parties of ten or more step up to the private Sprinter van for 10 to 14, which keeps everybody and their bags in one vehicle rather than splitting the group across two.
The allowance runs to 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on for each passenger. Bringing something outsized, or simply more than that? A WhatsApp message before the day lets us either confirm the room or put you in a larger van. There is a good deal of slack built in, so turning up with an extra case rarely causes anybody a problem.
The car. Everyone travels on the one figure from the pricing section, and it makes no difference whether the SUV is half full or the van is packed. Two legs are booked as two legs and come to twice the one-way amount, with nothing counted per head along the way.
Yes, in the form of a private van booked for your group alone — never a shared shuttle carrying other passengers, and never a route with stops to collect anyone else. Six to nine guests take the private Sprinter van, and ten to fourteen take the larger one. The rate is charged against the vehicle for the whole party, once, at the flat price shown in the pricing section above.
Public transit toward Doral means transfers and extra time with luggage, and we run no shared or scheduled transit ourselves. What we provide is a private door-to-door car or van going straight from MIA to the hotel. For a direct, dependable arrival with your bags, the private transfer skips the connections altogether.
Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all absorbed into the single per-vehicle price, which is why nothing gets added for the roads you use. A mobile hotspot supplies WiFi on the way into Doral. Small pets can come provided you say so on WhatsApp beforehand and they ride in a proper carrier. Child seats are handled too — the first is free for a child under five, and anything beyond that is added at a fee agreed when you book. The one paid upgrade is the in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign, for guests who would rather not be met at the curb.
Two optional things: the in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign, and a second or third child seat once the free one for a child under five is used. Journeys outside daytime hours also carry a night surcharge. All of it goes into your written confirmation beforehand rather than appearing without warning.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips starting outside that window carry a small night surcharge on top of the standard rate:
Venmo, Zelle, and a secure payment link all work, with cash accepted on nearby, close-in pickups. Half the amount goes down when you reserve; the other half reaches your chauffeur on the day of the journey. That figure covers the whole vehicle rather than each seat, and two legs simply cost twice one. The moment the deposit clears, the car, the date, and the driver are all committed, and written confirmation with the MIA pickup details comes back to you.
The 50% deposit is due at booking, and that is what secures the vehicle and the chauffeur; the other 50% is handed over on travel day. A round journey is booked as two legs and costs double the one-way fare, with the same per-vehicle pricing applied to each direction.
TownePlace Suites Miami Airport West/Doral Area Hotel stands in Doral, the business-minded pocket of west Miami that grew up around corporate campuses, trade showrooms, and a constant flow of airport guests. Streets here are wide, modern, and unfussy, with a mix of chain and independent dining and a quick run back toward MIA. Golf and the big shopping destinations nearby round it out, which is why the address works as well for a work trip as for a family stay. More detail sits on the hotel’s official overview and the West Doral location page.
It reads as a planned, low-rise commercial district rather than anything resembling a beachfront strip. Office parks and logistics hubs dominate, and a large Latin-American community shows up plainly in the restaurants and markets. Evenings are quiet, weekday mornings are busy, and the airport is close by without the runways being on your doorstep.
Most people here mix work with a little leisure. Golf, big-format retail and outlet shopping, and a wide spread of restaurants are what Doral itself puts on offer. Families use it as a calm place to sleep, and corporate guests value knowing exactly how long the run back to MIA takes at six in the morning.
A private car puts one vehicle and one chauffeur at your service for the entire route. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so directions, luggage, and questions are easy right from the first hello. The car runs straight from MIA to the hotel with nothing inserted along the way. You also keep a direct WhatsApp line for changes, special requests, or a quick update on the day. For families, teams, and anyone landing tired off a flight, that adds up to a known price, a known driver, and one coordinated journey rather than a guessing game after arrival.
Yes. One SUV or van keeps everybody together, and a child under five gets the first seat at no charge, with further seats added at a small fee agreed when you book. Small pets are fine as well, given advance WhatsApp notice and a carrier — so nobody in the family has to travel separately.
One price agreed before you fly, one chauffeur who knows your name, one pickup keyed to the flight: a calmer arrangement, and significantly less than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Of course. Give us at least 24 hours’ notice and, subject to availability, we’ll adjust your pickup time.
