A private ride between MIA Airport and the SLS LUX Brickell Hotel covers 7.7 miles (12.4 km) in roughly 21–25 minutes, using the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) and I-95, in a black SUV with a bilingual driver for a fixed price starting at $80 per vehicle. One reservation carries your whole group door to door, to or from MIA Airport and SLS LUX Brickell Hotel.
Every rate here covers the vehicle, is agreed at the time you book, and has tolls and fuel folded in — no surge pricing and no per-head arithmetic.
The SLS LUX Brickell stands right inside Brickell, Miami’s high-rise financial and dining district.
Brickell is a dense, walkable, unmistakably urban corner of Miami — glass towers, rooftop bars, designer boutiques and a crowded restaurant scene all within a few blocks of the hotel. The neighborhood mixes weekday business energy with lively after-dark nightlife, and the Miami River and Biscayne Bay waterfront frame its eastern edge. There is more on the official SLS LUX Brickell destination page or on the SLS LUX Brickell hotel listing.
Brickell is Miami’s financial centre and one of its most vertical, cosmopolitan neighborhoods. Sleek condo and office towers line the streets, and the ground floors hold cafes, cocktail lounges and shops. It draws a mix of business guests and visitors who want a polished, central base near downtown rather than the beach.
Guests step out into a broad choice of upscale and casual restaurants, rooftop and street-level bars, retail at the nearby shopping galleries, and waterfront walking paths. The area works for a relaxed evening of dining and nightlife and for a productive business stay alike, with much of it within walking distance of the hotel’s front door.
The simplest answer is a pre-booked private car matched to your group size, with curbside pickup at MIA.
Choose the vehicle that suits your party: the black SUV seats up to five, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van takes six to nine, and the bigger van holds ten to fourteen. Reserve ahead over WhatsApp or email and pass along your flight number. On landing, your driver is already waiting curbside at your terminal, set to go the moment you walk out with your luggage. The trip then runs east on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) and joins I-95 heading toward Brickell — a straight 7.7-mile drive with nothing to change, no detour and nobody else to collect. You are set down right at the hotel entrance. Since the vehicle is booked for your group alone, there is no queue to join and no stranger in the cabin, and the fare quoted at booking is exactly what you pay.
Plan on about 21 to 25 minutes door to door, off-peak to peak.
The total distance is 7.7 miles (12.4 km), which the SUV or van clears in about 21 minutes when traffic is light. At the morning and evening rush, backups on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) and I-95 push it to roughly 25 — just a few minutes’ difference, since the route is short and stays on the highway most of the way. Because the driver follows your flight, an early or late arrival simply shifts the pickup window; the drive itself does not stretch out. We still suggest allowing a comfortable buffer for any peak-hour departure, as downtown Brickell streets slow near the financial-district core at the start and end of the workday. For most arrivals you are checking in at the SLS LUX Brickell within half an hour of leaving the curb.
Your driver waits curbside at your arrival terminal, ready as you exit with your bags — that curbside pickup belongs to the fare. Would you rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign? That meet-and-greet is an optional paid add-on you can request when you book. We share the driver’s details before pickup.
Nothing changes at your end — the driver follows your inbound flight in real time and simply reschedules the pickup. Land early or late and the curbside meeting moves to match your genuine arrival, with no rebooking and no penalty for a delay beyond your control. Just fly, and we track the flight.
There are three private tiers, sized by passenger count, all reserved for your group alone.
Pair the vehicle with your party and bags. The private black SUV or SUV XL holds up to five passengers and is the usual pick for couples, families and small business groups. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van comfortably fits six to nine guests, and the larger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van seats ten to fourteen for bigger families or corporate arrivals. Each choice is private — no shared seating and nothing added along the way.
The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger. If you have extra or oversized pieces, drop us a WhatsApp message before your trip and we verify the room or move you up to a larger van. Nothing here is a strict cap — we arrange the right vehicle so your whole group and its luggage travel comfortably.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice over WhatsApp and must ride in a pet carrier. Child seats are available as well: the first seat for a child under five is included, and any extra seat is added at a small fee we confirm when you book, so the right setup is in place before the driver arrives.
Our private vans act as your shuttle, priced per vehicle at the figure shown in the prices section above — never per seat and never shared with other guests. Pick the six-to-nine or ten-to-fourteen passenger van for your group, and the whole party travels together on that one settled fare.
Per car, never per seat — your whole group travels on the single price listed above. Whether two or fourteen guests board, the rate holds steady for that vehicle. A round trip is simply double the one-way, booked together, so the cost is always tied to the car rather than the headcount.
Tolls, SunPass charges and fuel are all built into the fare you book.
Your rate covers the private vehicle held for your group, a bilingual driver, live tracking of your inbound flight, and the included curbside pickup at MIA. Onboard WiFi comes from a mobile hotspot. Standard luggage belongs to the rate at one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger. The price covers the vehicle rather than the seat, so the whole party travels on the single figure quoted at booking. A handful of items sit outside the base fare and are confirmed in advance, so nothing surprises you at the curb.
An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on, separate from the included curbside pickup. A child seat is free for the first child under five, while each extra child seat carries a small added fee confirmed at booking. Trips outside daytime hours add a night surcharge, detailed in its own section below.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge; trips outside that window add a small night fee.
Venmo, Zelle and a secure payment link all work, with cash available for nearby, close-in pickups.
Payment is split to keep it simple: a 50% deposit secures your trip, and the other 50% goes to the driver on travel day. A round trip is straightforward — double the one-way fare, written as one reservation so both legs hold the same figure. Whichever method you pick, the amount is the per-vehicle price you agreed to at booking, with tolls and fuel already inside it, so the driver adds nothing at the curb beyond any optional extras you asked for ahead of time.
No — a round trip is just the one-way fare doubled, with no premium for booking both directions. You reserve the return alongside the arrival, the rate holds for each leg, and the same 50% deposit and 50%-to-driver split covers the whole reservation.
Yes — booking ahead is how we suggest you ride. Send a WhatsApp message or email with the flight number, the date, the group size and the SLS LUX Brickell as your drop-off. We confirm the vehicle and hold the price, take the 50% deposit, and have the driver tracking your flight on arrival day.
The fare is a fixed price agreed the moment you book — it never shifts with traffic, weather or demand.
Your vehicle is held for your group only, so nothing is shared and nobody else is collected on the way. Every driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which keeps coordination at a busy terminal simple. You book and confirm directly with a real person over WhatsApp rather than through an app queue, so a name and a phone number stand behind your trip from the first message all the way to the curb. Onboard there is WiFi from a mobile hotspot for the short run into the city. The price you agree to is the price the driver collects — clear, per vehicle, and quoted before you ever leave home. That combination of a private cabin, a settled fare and a human you can reach is what makes the trip predictable from booking to arrival.
A tighter, more premium arrangement — a fixed price, a named driver, a pickup timed to the flight — for meaningfully less in total than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Picked me up right on time. Nothing to complain about, nothing at all.
Primeira viagem solo depois de muito tempo, o motorista foi gentil e atencioso. trajeto suave do meio-fio até o lobby. Jeito esperto de começar uma viagem.
Llegué en un vuelo nocturno, mucho más tranquilo que esperar en la fila de taxis. no hbo que buscar a nadie, el auto estaba donde dijeron. Fue exacto con la hora.
Travelling with the kids, the booking chat was quick and clear. the AC was cranked exactly the way you want it after a flight. Made the day easier.
Perfect hotel transfer. The ride was smooth and we arrived feeling refreshed and happy.
