MIA to South Beach: $149 flat, 35 minutes on a normal day. That's the number most people search for before they book anything, so here it is up front - no meter climbing while a rideshare app tries to guess your fare.
The route runs over either the MacArthur Causeway or the Julia Tuttle, and which one is faster changes by the hour. Your chauffeur checks live traffic before pulling out of the airport, not on autopilot toward whichever bridge they used last time - that's the difference between 25 minutes and 45 when there's an event at the Fillmore or a cruise ship unloading.
Ocean Drive hotels, the Setai, 1 Hotel South Beach, or a friend's condo on Collins - all standard drop points. Up to 6 passengers and 6 bags in the Suburban, so a group flying in together doesn't need two cars.
How much is a private car from Miami International Airport (MIA) to South Beach?
The flat rate is $149 one way in a black Chevrolet Suburban, for up to 6 passengers and 6 large bags. The drive is about 35 minutes over roughly 16 miles. The rate covers the whole vehicle, with tolls included. Gratuity is optional.
Pickup Procedure
Your chauffeur tracks your flight in real time and is waiting curbside at the arrivals level door nearest your baggage carousel. MIA pickups carry 60 minutes of free wait time, which matters on this route since South Beach travelers often clear customs slower with checked bags for a beach week.
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
How much is a car service from MIA to South Beach?
$149 flat rate door to door. The price doesn't change for traffic, tolls, or a late flight.
How long is the drive from Miami airport to South Beach?
Roughly 35 minutes under normal conditions. Event nights or cruise days can add 15-20 minutes, which is why your chauffeur checks live traffic on both causeways before departing.
Is this cheaper than Uber Black during surge?
Often, yes - our fare is confirmed when you book and has no meter, while rideshare pricing spikes on weekends, holidays, and cruise-turnaround days, sometimes 2-3x their base fare.
Do you provide car seats for kids?
Seats are $49 each for the first two and $99 each after that, charged once per booking — note the count and ages when you book. Round trips and multi-leg bookings add 50% per additional leg.
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.
