A private ride handles the 11.9 miles (19.2 km) between MIA Airport and Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach in roughly 27–33 minutes along the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), riding in a Black SUV at a fixed rate from $80 per vehicle. We operate private trips to or from MIA Airport and Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach, with a bilingual driver and your incoming flight monitored the instant it touches down.
Each fare is priced per vehicle and locked in when you book, so the figure you’re quoted is exactly what you pay — just select the vehicle sized to your party:
A private door-to-door transfer is the smoothest way to arrive at Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach: a single vehicle held for your group, running straight from the terminal curb to the hotel doors. Pick the vehicle by your headcount — a Black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage, a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van holds 6 to 9, and a larger Sprinter manages 10 to 14. Once you’ve booked, your driver follows the incoming flight and is waiting curbside as you walk out, so there’s no app to launch, no queue to stand in, and no waiting to be paired with a car. You climb aboard, get comfortable, and ride nonstop to South Beach. A single message books it, and your fare is confirmed before you travel.
Reach us over WhatsApp or email with your flight number, arrival date, number of passengers, and the Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach drop-off. We confirm the vehicle and the flat fare in writing, collect a 50% deposit to reserve it, and the driver takes care of everything on the day.
The trip covers 11.9 miles and runs about 27 minutes off-peak, stretching toward roughly 33 minutes when traffic is thick. The route heads east from the airport along the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) toward the beach, and the difference between a fast run and a slow one is the hour of day, not the mileage. Departures in the mid-morning or early afternoon tend to flow best, while the morning and evening commute windows are where those extra minutes show up. Since the fare is fixed per vehicle rather than metered, that added traffic time never changes what you owe — a slower clock costs you nothing. Your driver builds the timing around the live flight arrival, so a late landing simply moves the pickup rather than hurrying the drive.
Plan around your flight rather than a set hour — the driver re-times the pickup to your real landing. If you can choose your arrival, a midday landing usually clears the airport and reaches South Beach near the shorter end of the range, while morning and evening rush windows land closer to the longer estimate.
Curbside pickup is included: your driver, having followed the flight, is standing at the curb as you leave the terminal and then walks you to the waiting vehicle. Prefer to be met inside? An optional paid in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign can be set up at booking instead.
Nothing shifts on your side. Your driver follows the incoming flight in real time and automatically moves the pickup to your actual landing, so an early or delayed arrival simply re-times the meeting. There’s no need to rebook, re-message, or pay again — the flat fare and the curbside pickup remain exactly as confirmed.
Our fleet is private-only, so the right pick comes down purely to passengers and bags. The Black SUV (or SUV XL) is the natural choice for up to 5 passengers — great for couples, small families, and business travelers wanting a smooth, premium ride. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9 passengers works for larger families and small groups riding together with plenty of room for luggage. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 10 to 14 passengers takes on bigger parties, event groups, and multi-family trips in one coordinated vehicle. Each option is held exclusively for your group, with no strangers aboard and no detours en route. Start with the SUV if your party is five or under, and move up to a private van as your group and bags grow — we’ll confirm the best match when you book.
The rate covers one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger, so a full Black SUV or private van comfortably carries the group’s standard luggage. Bringing extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp ahead of time and we’ll confirm the space or move you up to a larger van — it’s simple to arrange in advance.
Small pets are welcome with advance WhatsApp notice and travel in a pet carrier. For little ones, the first child seat is free for a child under 5; each further seat carries a small extra fee confirmed at booking. Tell us your needs when you reserve and we’ll have it all ready.
The fixed price is a truly all-in figure for the ride itself. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built into the price, so nothing gets tacked on at the end for the roads you use. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, keeping you connected from the curb to the hotel. Your driver monitors the incoming flight in real time, and the included pickup is curbside — the driver is ready at the curb as you leave the terminal. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is offered as an optional paid add-on if you’d rather be met at the gate area instead. The standard luggage allowance of one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger is included in the rate, and small pets are welcome with advance notice. The fare reflects the vehicle and route, with only a handful of clearly defined extras applying in specific cases.
A few clearly defined extras exist: an optional in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign, a small after-hours surcharge for pickups outside daytime hours, and an added child-seat fee beyond the first seat, each confirmed at booking. Trips outside 7 AM to 9 PM carry the night surcharge detailed further down the page.
Yes. Every vehicle carries onboard WiFi via a mobile hotspot, so you can check messages, share your arrival, or plan ahead during the ride from MIA to South Beach. It’s part of the rate at no separate charge.
Daytime hours run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips falling outside that window carry a small after-hours charge, applied as follows:
Paying is simple and confirmed in writing before the trip. We take Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and cash is fine for nearby or close-in pickups. To secure your reservation, a 50% deposit is paid at booking, with the remaining 50% handed to the driver on the day of the trip. A round trip simply runs double the one-way price, billed as the two legs together — no hidden math and no separate booking fee. Because the fare is locked when you reserve, the balance owed to the driver is already known before you step into the vehicle, and traffic or timing won’t move it. We confirm the method, the deposit, and the day-of balance in your booking message so everything is settled and transparent before arrival, leaving nothing to sort out at the curb.
Cash is accepted for nearby or close-in pickups, alongside Venmo, Zelle, and a secure payment link for everything else. Whichever method you pick, the 50% deposit holds the booking and the remaining 50% is settled with the driver on the day of the trip.
For larger groups, our “shuttle” is a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van reserved for you alone — never a shared or scheduled service. The cost is per vehicle, not per person, so your whole group rides for the single price shown in the prices list above, with no per-head charge and nobody else aboard.
The price is per vehicle, not per person. Whether you book the Black SUV or a private van, your entire group travels for the one set fare listed above. A round trip is simply double the one-way, and the figure is locked at booking — adding passengers within the vehicle’s capacity never pushes it up.
We hold one private vehicle for your group alone — never a shared or pooled ride, never a stranger added to your trip. The fare is fixed at booking and doesn’t budge for traffic, demand, or the hour you land, so the quoted price is the paid price. Every driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which makes the meeting, the loading, and any change of plan easy to handle on the spot. You reach a real person directly over WhatsApp before, during, and after the ride — not a queue or a chatbot. Your luggage is handled, the route is mapped, and the aim is a calm, premium arrival instead of a scramble at the curb. The outcome is a coordinated, private trip from MIA to your South Beach hotel that feels arranged for you, because it is.
Yes. Every driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so confirming your name, sorting bags, or tweaking a pickup detail is easy whether you land speaking English or arrive from Latin America or Brazil. You’re met by someone you can talk with plainly from the very first minute.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
