A private ride between MIA Airport and Walkabout Beach Resort covers 25.6 miles (41.2 km) and takes roughly 45 to 52 minutes door to door, from off-peak to peak, aboard a chauffeured Black SUV for a fixed price from $120 per vehicle. Your route heads north on the I-95 Express lanes toward Hollywood, with a bilingual driver meeting you curbside.
Each fare listed here is charged per vehicle, locked in the instant you reserve, and covers your whole group for the one-way trip to or from the resort.
The easiest option is a private door-to-door transfer in a vehicle held for your group only. Once you reserve, you choose the tier that suits your party: a Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or a bigger Sprinter for 10 to 14. Your driver monitors your inbound flight live and is already standing curbside as you step out of the terminal, so there is no app to launch and no queue to join. From the airport, the car runs north on the I-95 Express lanes toward Hollywood and drives straight to the resort entrance. Reserving takes a single WhatsApp message or a short email; you confirm the date, flight number, passenger count, and pickup spot, and the fare is fixed from that point. The identical private service operates in reverse when you head back to MIA.
Message your flight number, date, passenger count, and pickup spot over WhatsApp or email. We confirm the vehicle and the flat fare in writing, collect a 50% deposit to hold it, and assign your named driver. Your confirmation comes straight back to you, not through an automated queue.
Three private tiers serve the trip to Walkabout Beach Resort, and every one is held for your party alone. Choose by passenger count and bags, and message us if you are not sure which is the best fit.
The trip runs 45 to 52 minutes door to door, depending on traffic. Off-peak, with clear roads, the 25.6-mile stretch up the I-95 Express lanes lands close to 45 minutes. Through the morning and late-afternoon rush, when the northbound lanes fill, plan for the ride to grow toward 52 minutes. Weather and the number of arrivals at the terminal can nudge the curbside meet a few minutes in either direction, which is precisely why your driver tracks the inbound flight instead of relying on a fixed clock. If your plane touches down early or late, your pickup time shifts with it at no added charge, so the 45-to-52-minute window reflects the actual drive once you are seated and moving. Build your day around the higher end of that range during peak hours and you will keep a comfortable buffer.
Your driver meets you curbside just outside your arrivals terminal at MIA. Since the inbound flight is tracked live, the car is in position for your real landing, and a WhatsApp message tells you exactly where to walk once you have collected your bags. If you would rather have the driver waiting inside holding a name sign, add the optional in-terminal meet-and-greet at booking.
Nothing changes for you. The driver tracks your inbound flight, so an early or late landing simply moves the curbside pickup to match. Re-timing for a delay is free and part of the service — you do not re-book, pay a surge, or lose the car. Just walk out and your driver is waiting.
Your group travels alone in a vehicle set aside just for you, never pooled with strangers and never diverted to collect other riders. The rate is a fixed price locked at booking, so traffic, demand, or a crowded arrival hall never alters what you pay. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which eases the first minutes after a long flight. You reach a real person on WhatsApp before, during, and after the trip instead of a faceless dispatch line, so a gate change or a slow bag carousel is sorted by message in seconds. The car is a clean, climate-controlled Black SUV or Sprinter van matched to your party, and the chauffeur helps with the doors and the bags. That mix — one private vehicle, one fixed fare, one named driver you can message — is what distinguishes the service on the run up to Hollywood.
The flat fare covers the private vehicle for your whole group, the bilingual driver, and every cost of the drive itself. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all folded into the price, so there is nothing to settle on the road. Flight tracking is included: the driver follows your inbound flight and is ready curbside as you exit, with no waiting-line fee for a normal arrival. Onboard you get WiFi via a mobile hotspot for the ride. Luggage is included at one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, easily handled in the SUV or van. Below are a few specifics and the extras that fall outside the base rate.
A handful of items sit outside the fixed price. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on, confirmed at booking; the standard included pickup is curbside. A trip outside daytime hours carries a night surcharge, detailed below. Child seats past the first also carry a small added fee, confirmed when you book.
Yes. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp and must ride in a pet carrier. Tell us when you book so the right vehicle is assigned and the driver is expecting the carrier. There is no surprise at the curb when you flag it ahead of time.
Yes. The first child seat for a child under 5 comes free — just ask for it when you book so the driver fits it before pickup. Each extra seat carries a small additional fee, confirmed at booking. Share the child’s age so the right seat type is installed in the SUV or van.
The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, which the Black SUV and Sprinter vans manage comfortably. If you are traveling with additional or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp beforehand and we confirm the space or move you up to a larger van. We would rather plan it in advance than leave you guessing at the curb.
Surcharge-free daytime hours run from 7 AM to 9 PM. A pickup that falls outside that window carries a modest night charge, applied by the vehicle tier you book.
Payment is divided so you reserve the car upfront and settle the balance on the day. You confirm the booking with a deposit, then pay the rest to your driver when you ride.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the one flat price shown in the fare list above, whether the SUV carries a single passenger or five. A return trip is just double the one-way, and a pickup after 9 PM adds the night surcharge described above — no per-head math, no surprise extras.
A “shuttle” here means a private van held only for your group, never a shared or pooled ride. The cost is the flat per-vehicle van fare listed in the prices section above, set at booking with tolls, SunPass, and fuel included. Pick the 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 tier by passenger count; the whole party travels together for one price.
Walkabout Beach Resort sits in Hollywood, Florida, an oceanfront slice of South Florida coast known for its broad sandy beach and an easygoing, family-friendly pace that feels far removed from the downtown rush. The resort faces the Atlantic, and the surrounding area is built around the famous beachfront promenade, with casual seafood spots, ice-cream stands, bike rentals, and small shops lining the walkable blocks near the water. It is the sort of neighborhood where you can head out for breakfast, spend the day on the sand, and catch live music or a sunset stroll in the evening without needing a car. You can plan your stay and check amenities on the resort’s official website, and get a sense of the wider destination on the local visitor bureau listing.
The resort is in Hollywood, a beachfront community on the Atlantic between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. The mood is low-key and walkable, built around the beach and its promenade, with a blend of vacationers and locals. It draws guests who want sand and ocean without big-city crowds.
The beach is the top draw, together with the oceanfront promenade for walking, jogging, and biking. Casual restaurants, cafes, and beach-gear shops are within easy reach, and the calm shoreline is ideal for swimming and sunbathing. Evenings bring live music and waterfront dining a short stroll from the resort doors.
