A typical Miami Beach to Miami International Airport transfer begins when your chauffeur arrives at your South Beach address 10 minutes before the scheduled pickup time. Luggage is loaded, the vehicle departs, and the driver selects the fastest corridor for the 13-mile drive — typically 28 minutes door-to-door, or up to 39 minutes during rush hour. At MIA the driver pulls directly to Arrivals Level 1 curbside, directly across from your baggage carousel in Terminals D, E, F, G, H, or J and unloads bags curbside so you can walk straight to check-in. For return trips, the chauffeur watches your inbound flight and meets you after you clear baggage claim, using the 60-minute complimentary wait window built into every MIA pickup.

Meet-and-greet at baggage claim is standard for Terminals D (American), E (international arrivals), and J (international arrivals) Provide your flight number when booking and we track the inbound arrival in real time, so the driver is already positioned when you clear baggage claim.
What toll roads are on the Miami Beach to MIA route, and are they included in the price?+

All tolls on these corridors are included in the fixed fare you see at booking — there is no SunPass surcharge, no cash-toll pass-through, and no fuel surcharge added at the end of the trip. If construction or an incident forces a detour, the driver may switch between these corridors, but your price does not change.
Where does the driver wait if my flight into MIA is delayed?+
For pickups at MIA on the MIA to Miami Beach leg, the chauffeur stages at Free cell phone waiting lot on NW 20th Street near the Dolphin Garage, about 3 minutes from the arrivals curb until your flight lands, then pulls to the arrivals curb. Every MIA pickup includes 60 minutes of complimentary wait time from wheels-down, which covers taxi time, baggage claim, and a short buffer. If the delay exceeds that window we hold the vehicle at no charge — the fare stays exactly what you booked.
Can I book a return trip from Miami International Airport back to Miami Beach?+
Yes. The return leg from MIA to Miami Beach can be booked at the same time as your outbound ride or added later. Round-trip bookings lock both fares at the rate quoted on the day you reserve, so weekend pricing, seasonal demand, and event surges never apply to the return.
