A private transfer between MIA Airport and Casa Faena Hotel takes roughly 15 to 25 minutes in a Black SUV or private van, riding the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), for a flat fare starting at $80 per vehicle. It is a door-to-door ride to or from MIA Airport and Casa Faena Hotel, driven by a bilingual chauffeur who monitors your flight and greets you curbside in Mid-Beach.
Each price below is a flat, per-vehicle rate for a private transfer between MIA Airport and Casa Faena Hotel — fixed at the moment you book, with no surge pricing.
Select the vehicle that suits your party — every one is private and held for your booking only.
With a private car you get a single vehicle held for your group and no one else. The fare is a flat fare locked in at booking, so it never shifts with demand, the hour, or the traffic on the way. Your driver is bilingual — English along with Spanish or Portuguese — which makes that first ride after a long flight effortless. You reach us directly on WhatsApp before and during the trip, so any plan change goes to a real person rather than a queue. Nothing is shared and nothing is pooled: the SUV or private van carries only the people on your booking. Your bags are loaded for you, and the route goes straight from the airport to the hotel with no detours. It is a calmer, more predictable arrival than winging it at the curb.
A private transfer is the most direct route to Casa Faena Hotel. Pick your vehicle by group size — a Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14. Share your flight number and hotel details at booking, and your driver is dedicated to your group alone. Once you land, the driver is already tracking your arrival and waits at the curb, then loads your luggage and takes you straight to the hotel entrance in Mid-Beach. There is no line to stand in, no app to keep refreshing, and no extra stop for other riders along the route. It is the simplest path from the gate to your room.
Reach out on WhatsApp or by email with your date, pickup time, number of passengers, and flight number. We respond with the vehicle that suits your group and confirm the flat fare. As soon as your deposit lands, the driver and vehicle are held for your exact date and time.
The drive runs about 15 to 25 minutes under normal conditions. Off-peak, during the calmer mid-morning and evening windows, the trip lands at the lower end of that range. Through morning and late-afternoon rush, thicker traffic between the airport and Miami Beach can push it toward the upper end. Since your fare is fixed per vehicle, a slower-than-usual drive never affects what you pay — the traffic is our concern, not yours. We still recommend leaving a comfortable buffer when you have a time-sensitive plan after arrival, like a dinner reservation or an event. Your driver knows the fastest live route and adapts to whatever the roads are doing that day.
Yes. During the busiest morning and evening stretches, the same trip can take several minutes longer than off-peak, simply because there are more cars on the road. Your flat per-vehicle fare stays exactly the same, and your driver reroutes in real time to keep any delay as small as possible.
Nothing changes on your side. Your driver follows your inbound flight in real time and adjusts the pickup automatically, so a delayed or early landing is handled for you at no added cost. Your flat fare stays the same. Just travel — your ride is re-timed to match when you actually touch down.
Your driver meets you curbside at MIA, waiting where you exit the terminal after collecting your bags. If you would rather be met inside with a name sign at baggage claim, an in-terminal meet-and-greet is available as an optional paid add-on you set up at booking. Either way, your driver is there for you.
Your flat fare includes the private vehicle, the assigned driver, and the complete door-to-door ride. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all folded into the price, so there is nothing to pay on the road. Onboard WiFi comes from a mobile hotspot, so you can get back online the moment you sit down. The standard luggage allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, loaded for you by the driver. The included airport pickup is curbside — your driver is ready where you step outside the terminal. Everything you need for a smooth arrival is part of the quoted fare, with no hidden charges added later.
A handful of optional items fall outside the base fare. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on you can request. Trips outside daytime hours add a night surcharge, and a round trip simply costs double the one-way fare. Anything listed as included remains part of your flat per-vehicle price.
Yes. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp, riding in a pet carrier. For families, the first child seat is free for a child under 5; any extra seats carry a small fee we confirm at booking. Let us know your needs ahead of time and we set the vehicle up before pickup.
Payment is flexible and direct. You can pay by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link we send you, and cash is accepted for nearby, close-in pickups. The fare you see is per vehicle, not per person, so the whole group rides for one price. No booking fees are stacked on top — the deposit and the balance total exactly the quoted rate. Once your deposit is in, your vehicle and driver are held for your date and time, and you can reach us on WhatsApp if anything changes.
A round trip is simply double the one-way fare — one charge for the airport pickup and one for the return. You secure any booking with a 50% deposit, paid by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link, then hand the remaining 50% to your driver on trip day. Cash works for close-in pickups.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips falling outside that window carry a small night surcharge, listed below by vehicle.
We charge per vehicle, not per person. The flat fare above covers the whole group up to that vehicle’s capacity — 5 in the SUV, up to 9 or 14 in the private vans — so adding passengers within capacity never raises the price. One booking, one fare for everyone riding together.
Yes. The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and your driver loads everything for you. If you have extra or oversized bags, just message us on WhatsApp ahead of time — we confirm the space or move you up to a larger private van so everything fits comfortably.
Casa Faena Hotel sits in Mid-Beach, the section of Miami Beach along Collins Avenue between the lively buzz of South Beach and the quieter resorts to the north. The hotel is a restored Mediterranean Revival building, intimate and design-forward, part of the broader Faena cultural district known for its art, architecture, and beachfront. Step outside and you are within easy reach of the sand, oceanfront promenades, and a full calendar of dining and cultural events. The neighborhood blends boutique character with the wide Atlantic beach, so guests enjoy the ocean without the crowds of the south end. You can learn more about the boutique Casa Faena hotel and the surrounding Faena District in Miami Beach on the official sites.
Mid-Beach revolves around the Atlantic beach, with oceanfront walking paths, swimming, and sunbathing right outside the door. The nearby Faena District is known for its art installations, theater, and restaurants, while Collins Avenue offers strolling, cafes, and easy access to the wider Miami Beach scene of galleries, shops, and nightlife.
From Mid-Beach you can slip easily into the South Beach area for its Art Deco district and nightlife, or head north toward the calmer beach neighborhoods. Downtown Miami and the Brickell area sit across the bay for business and dining. Your driver can also take you onward to any of these on a future booking.
Public buses serve Miami, but getting to Mid-Beach from the airport usually involves transfers and a walk at the end, with luggage in hand. Our private transfer skips all of that: one direct, door-to-door ride from MIA straight to the hotel entrance, with your bags loaded and a driver waiting for you.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
