The private run between Miami International Airport and the Plymouth South Beach Hotel covers 11.9 miles (19.2 km) by way of the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), door to door in 27–33 minutes, aboard a black SUV or private van from a flat $80 for the vehicle. Reserve on WhatsApp, land in Miami, and your chauffeur handles everything from the terminal to the hotel.
Three private vehicle sizes cover this route — select the one that fits your group, and the figure below is the complete price for everyone riding in it.
Count on about 27 minutes off-peak and up to 33 when Miami traffic is at its heaviest.
The gap between a smooth trip and a slow one is only around six minutes, which keeps the planning simple. Weekday rush hours — the morning commute and the late-afternoon crawl — sit at the top of the range, while mid-morning, early-afternoon, and evening runs tend to fall near the bottom. Bright weekend afternoons can also nudge upward as beach traffic thickens. For departures, hand us your flight time and we set the hotel pickup with that window plus a reasonable buffer, so you reach MIA without watching the clock.
Nothing for you to sort out. Flight tracking comes with every airport pickup: we watch your inbound flight live, so the chauffeur works from when you actually land rather than the time printed on your itinerary. A two-hour delay simply becomes a pickup two hours later — there is no need to text us from the tarmac.
Right at the curb, just outside arrivals — the pickup included in your fare is curbside, meaning the vehicle is staged at your exit door and you step straight out to it with the luggage. Load up and leave; there is no shuttle lot to hunt down, no garage level to work out, and no line to stand in.
A private transfer is the most direct answer for this trip: one vehicle, one chauffeur, and zero stops between the terminal and the hotel.
Everything is organised around arrival days. Ahead of your flight you tell us your landing time and how many people are travelling. We pair the group with the right vehicle, slot the pickup into the schedule, and reply with a written confirmation. When the day comes you collect the bags, step outside, and head straight for the Plymouth while the rest of your flight is still puzzling over transit maps. The same arrangement runs in reverse for departures: a hotel pickup timed to your outbound flight, so the trip closes exactly the way it opened.
Four things, no more: the flight number, the arrival date, how many of you there are, and roughly how many bags. That is enough for us to pick the vehicle, fix the pickup window, and put the lot in writing. Coming back as well? Add the departure flight time and the hotel collection is timed against it.
The number of travelers settles it — all three options below cover the same route with identical driver standards.
Drop us a quick WhatsApp message before your travel day and tell us what you are bringing. We either confirm the room in your chosen vehicle or move you up to a larger van so everything rides inside with you — no second car, no scramble at pickup, nothing left behind on the pavement.
Small pets are welcome under two conditions: let us know ahead of time over WhatsApp, and bring a carrier for the journey. The heads-up lets us prepare the vehicle, and the carrier keeps your animal secure on the expressway. Arrange it at booking and the pickup runs just like any other.
Yes — and a child under 5 rides with the first seat at no charge, provided you ask for it at the point of reserving. Need a second or third? Each carries a fee we confirm at booking, so the full number is in front of you before anything is committed.
By the car, every time. Each figure in the price list near the top of this page covers the whole vehicle and everyone in it — no per-seat arithmetic, no surcharge for the fifth passenger, no recalculating for odd group sizes. Fill every seat and the figure stays exactly where it was.
Every van we run belongs to one booking at a time: your group, your luggage, your clock. Single seats are not sold, separate parties are never combined, and there is no fixed multi-stop route to sit through. The van leaves the airport when your group is ready and drives nonstop to the hotel instead of working its way around somebody else’s stops first.
A number of costs that turn up as extras elsewhere are already folded into the quote.
Only things you opt into, or unusual timing, shift the quote. An in-terminal meet-and-greet — the chauffeur waiting inside holding a name sign — is an optional paid add-on rather than a standard inclusion. Pickups outside daytime hours carry the night add-on listed further down this page. Both are settled before you confirm, never sprung on you on the day.
Flights that arrive late at night or leave before dawn fall outside the standard daytime window, and those pickups carry a small add-on. Trips within daytime hours never do.
In two parts: half at booking, half on the day of the trip.
Cash is an option for nearby, close-in pickups, handed to the chauffeur on trip day. The deposit that holds the booking is still paid electronically, so the reservation is secured before any cash changes hands. If you would rather keep everything electronic start to finish, that works just as well.
The Plymouth is a boutique hotel in Miami Beach’s Art Deco quarter, known for its restored period architecture and its quieter, design-forward take on South Beach.
Guests tend to pick it on purpose rather than by default: intimate instead of sprawling, with a strong visual identity and rooms and suites that lean into the building’s own character. Current photos, dining, and amenities are on the Plymouth’s official site. The practical point for anyone arriving is that this is a tight, walkable pocket of South Beach — and being set down exactly where you need to be beats circling unfamiliar streets at the end of a flight.
South Beach does most of the work: the sand and the water, the pastel Art Deco blocks, the restaurants and cafés along Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive, and the galleries, shops, and steady people-watching that keep the streets busy from morning to well past midnight. Everything the neighbourhood is famous for sits around the hotel, which is why the idea of needing a car tends to evaporate at check-in.
Hotel perks shift with the season and the rate plan, so check your reservation or ask the front desk what, if anything, comes with your room. A booked private transfer removes the uncertainty either way: your vehicle and chauffeur are arranged before you board, and the pickup stands whether or not the hotel adds anything on top.
Yes. When the South Beach stay ends we run private drop-offs onward from the Plymouth — PortMiami for a cruise departure, Fort Lauderdale and the other regional airports, and cities further afield in Florida. Add the outbound leg at the same time as the arrival transfer, or bolt it on later over WhatsApp; the vehicles and the driver standards are unchanged.
Price certainty and one point of contact — you know what you will pay and exactly who to message from the booking until you step out at the hotel.
Whatever the day throws up — heavy traffic, a convention weekend, a flight landing at the least convenient hour — the figure agreed at reservation is the figure that stands. Contact is equally plain: one WhatsApp line, where a question, a change, or a special request is handled in a message rather than a support queue. And the driving is done by somebody who works this airport daily, knows which arrivals doors bottleneck at which hour, and treats the trip as a service rather than a fare.
English plus Spanish or Portuguese — every driver is bilingual, so directions, questions, and any change of plan are simple to sort out in whichever language suits you. That counts most right after landing, when you want quick, clear coordination instead of guesswork at the end of a long flight.
A more organised, more upscale arrangement — one agreed fare, a named chauffeur, a pickup keyed to your flight — for a meaningfully smaller total than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Punctual. Smoith ride. Good price. Done well.
Picked us up right on time: way calmer than waiting in the taxi line, honest pricing, no surprises at the end, we used them last year and again this trip.
Quiet ride. Tidy interior. Smooth ride.
On a couple’s trip, the van looked freshly cleaned. wifi worked, kids stayed busy on the way. (trip took about 25 minutes)
Family of four with a lot of luggage, the spacious van made the trip so comfortable. Highly recommend.
