Faena Hotel Miami Beach Private Car & Chauffeur Transfers
The Faena District was built as a statement — Rem Koolhaas's Faena Forum next door, the gold-leaf Damien Hirst mammoth in the lobby — and the guests who book here tend to be attending something, not just staying somewhere. Art Basel week turns the property into a private events calendar of its own, with car pickups timed to gallery openings and forum installations rather than a standard checkout clock.
That kind of guest wants a driver who shows up at the correct entrance without a phone call and doesn't need the destination explained twice, whether it's a private dinner at Los Fuegos or a late departure from a Faena Forum event that runs past midnight.
Discretion matters here more than at most hotels on this list. No lingering at the curb, no small talk — just a black Suburban, on time, gone when you don't need it.
Pickup Procedure
Your chauffeur tracks the flight in from MIA, FLL, or PBI and holds a free 60-minute wait at MIA, FLL, or PBI (15 minutes at other pickups). The Faena sits roughly 14 miles and 30 minutes from MIA depending on causeway conditions; arrival is a direct pull into the hotel's Collins Avenue entrance, timed around any Faena Forum event schedule if your visit coincides with Art Basel or a private showing.
Curbside pickup with flight tracking is standard. Meet and greet at baggage claim with a name sign is an optional $199 add-on at checkout.

Frequently Asked
Can you accommodate late-night pickups after Faena Forum events during Art Basel?
Yes — event-adjacent pickups can be booked during Basel week; give us the event end time and we'll hold the driver rather than schedule a fixed pickup slot.
Is the driver discreet about who and where they're transporting?
That's the standard for this property specifically — no idle conversation, no lingering curbside, direct pickup and drop-off only.
How far is the Faena from Miami International Airport?
About 14 miles and 30 minutes under normal conditions, more during Basel week when Miami Beach traffic is heavier than usual.
Can I book an hourly car for an evening moving between Faena events and a private dinner?
Yes, the hourly as-directed service with a 2-hour minimum is built for exactly that kind of multi-stop evening.
How does payment work?
Payment reserves your date. Book more than 72 hours ahead and a 50% deposit reserves it now; 72 hours before pickup, the balance is charged automatically to the payment method you booked with. Book 72 hours or less ahead and checkout collects the whole fare. There's no card processing fee — that's built into the flat rate — and gratuity is optional.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel 24+ hours before pickup for a full refund. Inside that window, we retain 25% of the fare; no-shows retain 50% of the fare.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes. Infant, toddler and booster seats are $49 each for the first two and $99 each after that, charged once per booking. Round trips and multi-leg bookings add 50% per additional leg. Request them when you book so they are installed before pickup.
Can you meet us inside the airport?
Yes. Curbside pickup with flight tracking is standard. Meet and greet is an optional $199 add-on, chosen at checkout and charged once per booking. Your chauffeur meets you at baggage claim with a name sign, helps with bags, and walks you to the vehicle. It needs your flight number.
