A private ride between MIA Airport and the Plymouth South Beach Hotel runs 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 at a flat fare starting at $80 per vehicle. Reserve on WhatsApp, touch down in Miami, and your driver takes care of 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.
The number of travelers is what settles it — all three choices below cover the same route, privately, with identical driver standards.
A private transfer is the most direct option for this trip: one vehicle, one driver, and zero stops between the terminal and the hotel.
Everything is organized around arrival days. Ahead of your flight, you let us know your landing time and how many people are traveling. We pair your group with the right vehicle, slot your pickup into the schedule, and reply with a written confirmation. When the day comes, you grab your bags, step outside, and head straight to the Plymouth while the rest of your flight is still puzzling over transit maps. The identical arrangement works in reverse for departures: a hotel pickup timed to your outbound flight, so the trip closes exactly the way it opened.
Four pieces of information do it: your flight number, your arrival date, your group size, and how many bags you have. From those we choose the vehicle, set the pickup window, and confirm it all in writing. For the return leg, add your departure flight time and we time the hotel pickup to match.
Count on about 27 minutes off-peak and up to 33 minutes when Miami traffic is heaviest.
The difference between a smooth trip and a slow one is only around six minutes, which keeps the timing simple to plan for. Weekday rush hours — the morning commute and the late-afternoon crawl — land 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 toward the higher end as beach traffic thickens. For departures, hand us your flight time and we will book the hotel pickup with that window plus a reasonable buffer, so you arrive at MIA without staring at the clock.
Nothing for you to sort out. Flight tracking comes with every airport pickup: we watch your inbound flight live, so the driver goes by when you actually land, not the time on your itinerary. A two-hour delay simply turns into a pickup two hours later — no need to text us from the tarmac.
Right at the curb, just outside arrivals — the included pickup is curbside, meaning the driver stages the vehicle at your exit door and you step straight out to it with your luggage. Load up and leave; there is no shuttle lot to hunt down, no garage level to figure out, and no line to stand in.
A number of costs that turn up as extras elsewhere are already folded into the quote.
Only items you opt into or unusual timing shift the quote. An in-terminal meet-and-greet — the driver 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 near the end of this page. Both are settled before you confirm, never sprung on you the day of.
Small pets are welcome under two conditions: let us know ahead of time over WhatsApp, and bring a pet carrier for the journey. The heads-up lets us ready the vehicle, and the carrier keeps your animal safe on the expressway. Set it up at booking and the pickup runs just like any other.
Yes. The first child seat is free for a child under 5 — just ask for it when you reserve. If you need more than one, each additional seat carries a fee we confirm at booking time, so you know the exact total before you commit to the trip.
Drop us a quick WhatsApp message before your travel day and tell us what you are bringing. We will either confirm the room in your chosen vehicle or bump you up to a larger van so everything rides inside with you — no second car, no scramble at pickup, nothing left behind.
Payment comes 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 driver on trip day. The deposit that locks the booking is still paid electronically, so your reservation is secured before any cash changes hands. If you would rather keep everything electronic start to finish, that works too.
Per vehicle, 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 math, no surcharge for the fifth passenger, no recalculating for odd group sizes. Fill every seat and the figure stays right where it was when you booked the vehicle.
Price certainty and one point of contact — you know what you will pay and exactly who to message from booking until you step out at the hotel.
The rate is set when you reserve and does not budge: heavy traffic, a convention weekend, or a flight that lands at the worst possible hour will not move it. Communication is just as direct — a WhatsApp line straight to us handles questions, changes, and special requests in one message rather than a support queue. And the ride itself is run by someone who drives this airport daily, knows where arrivals bottleneck, and treats the trip as a service instead of a fare. A locked price, a real human contact, and a driver who knows the ground: that is what we offer.
Yes. Every driver is bilingual — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — 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.
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.
It is the sort of property guests choose deliberately: intimate rather than sprawling, with a strong visual identity and rooms and suites that lean into the building’s character. You can browse the Plymouth’s official site for current photos, dining, and amenities before you arrive. For arriving guests, the practical takeaway is simple: this is a compact, walkable pocket of South Beach, and rolling up in a private vehicle that stops exactly where you need it beats circling unfamiliar streets after a flight.
The main draw is South Beach itself: the sand and the ocean, the pastel Art Deco blocks, the restaurants and cafés of Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive, and the galleries, shops, and people-watching that keep the neighborhood alive day and night. Everything that made Miami Beach famous surrounds the hotel, so most guests shelve any idea of needing a car at check-in.
Hotel perks shift with the season and rate plan, so check your reservation or ask the front desk what, if anything, comes with your room. A booked private transfer takes the uncertainty away either way: your vehicle and driver are arranged before you board, and the pickup stands whether or not the hotel adds anything on top.
Yes — every van we operate is a private shuttle, held for one booking only: your group, your luggage, your schedule. We never sell single seats, mix separate parties, or run fixed multi-stop routes, so the van pulls away from the airport when you are ready and drives nonstop to the hotel rather than touring other people’s destinations first.
Yes. Once your South Beach stay wraps up, we run private drop-offs from the Plymouth to PortMiami for cruise departures, to Fort Lauderdale and other regional airports, and to other Florida cities. Book the outbound leg alongside your arrival transfer or add it later over WhatsApp — the same vehicles and the same driver standards apply.
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.

Of course. Give us at least 24 hours’ notice and, subject to availability, we’ll adjust your pickup time.
