A private transfer to or from MIA and Ives Estates covers 17.9 miles in about 30 to 45 minutes by black SUV or private van, at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle. The driver tracks your flight, waits curbside, and heads straight up I-95 with tolls and fuel already included — no surge, no meter, one price locked the moment you book.
The fare is per vehicle for your whole group, fixed at booking — pick the size that fits your party and luggage.
Nothing changes on your end. Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and shifts the pickup to your actual landing, at no extra cost. Included courtesy waiting is 2 hours for international arrivals and 1 hour for domestic, so a delay is absorbed automatically — no re-booking, no lost car, no surge.
We run private transfers only — the vehicle is yours alone, never pooled or shared, from the airport curb to your Ives Estates door. The rate is locked when you book and never surges for traffic, demand, or a delayed landing, so the fare cannot climb between the quote and the ride. Your bilingual driver reaches you in English plus Spanish or Portuguese, tracks your inbound flight in real time, and helps with every bag. You reach us directly by WhatsApp before, during, and after the trip, and your driver’s name, vehicle, and plate arrive by text the day before so there is no guessing at the curb. Available around the clock, year-round, with more than five years operating Miami transfers, we handle the whole door-to-door trip as one coordinated booking rather than a car you have to hail after you land. That is the difference: a reserved vehicle, a set price, and a real person you can message.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee, and full cash at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare. For a pickup on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% can go to the driver on trip day, cash accepted; some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas ask for full payment in advance. Book at least 24 hours ahead for guaranteed availability — an under-24-hour request is still reviewed by hand, though space is not promised — and a confirmed pickup time can be shifted with 24 or more hours notice, subject to availability. Cancel with 24 or more hours notice for a full refund; within 24 hours of pickup the booking is non-refundable. The day before your trip, your driver’s details and curbside instructions arrive by text.
Yes. The standard allowance is 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, and the driver loads and unloads everything for you. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van, so your group and gear ride together comfortably.
Yes — our private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans serve groups of 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 as a fully private ride, never a shared or pooled service. The van fare is the flat per-vehicle price in the list above, locked at booking. Trips after 9 PM add a small surcharge; otherwise the quote holds.
A better-organized, premium ride — fixed price, an assigned driver, and a pickup timed to your flight — for a significantly lower overall price than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

A single reservation and one synchronized pickup, at a significantly lower price than a surging Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
Uber, Uber Black, Lyft, and Lyft Lux are the trademarks of their respective holders. We have no affiliation with, sponsorship from, or endorsement by any of them. The comparison draws on publicly available pricing as of 2026.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price shown in the prices list above. Adding passengers up to the vehicle’s capacity does not raise the cost, and a round trip is simply double the one-way rate. Nothing is priced by head.
The direct way is a private vehicle reserved for your group and routed north on I-95. After you clear the terminal, your driver is already waiting curbside — no app request, no line, no waiting for a match. Book ahead, tell us your flight number and party size, and we assign the right vehicle: a black SUV for up to 5 travelers, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or the larger Sprinter van for 10 to 14. The day before your journey you receive a text with the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate, plus exact curbside instructions for your terminal. On arrival, the driver helps load your bags, then drives you straight to your Ives Estates address. One booking handles the whole door-to-door trip in either direction, with tolls and SunPass already covered in the quoted fare.
Three private vehicle tiers cover almost any party size, each reserved entirely for your group with no one else aboard. Match the vehicle to your headcount and bag load, and the flat fare above applies.
Ives Estates is a quiet, residential community in northeast Miami-Dade, set between the Aventura shopping district to the east and the I-95 corridor to the west. The neighborhood mixes single-family homes, low-rise apartments, and everyday retail plazas, with easy reach to the malls, dining, and marina areas of greater Aventura and the beaches farther east. Families and visitors here lean toward green space and local errands rather than nightlife; the community’s namesake green space, Ives Estates Park, offers ball fields, courts, and a pool typical of a Miami-Dade county park. If you want a fuller sense of the area before you arrive, this Ives Estates neighborhood guide lays out the local character. Whether you are visiting family, relocating, or passing through for business, the private transfer drops you at the exact door you name.
The included pickup is curbside: your driver is ready at the curb as you exit your terminal, having tracked your flight to time it. The day before, you get a text with the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate plus exact meeting instructions. An in-terminal meet with a name sign is available as an optional paid add-on.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips that fall outside that window carry a small surcharge, applied by vehicle type:
The quoted fare is all-in for the vehicle: tolls, SunPass, and fuel are already covered, so the number you see at booking is the number you pay. Every trip comes with a bilingual driver — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — real-time flight tracking, and curbside pickup with the driver ready as you exit the terminal. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, and the driver helps load and unload your luggage. Courtesy waiting is included: 2 hours for international flights, 1 hour for domestic, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups, with the pickup re-timed at no cost when your flight is delayed or early.
With advance WhatsApp notice, small pets ride along in a pet carrier. Children under 5 get the first child seat free; every additional seat adds a small charge confirmed at booking. Share ages and seat requirements ahead of time and the vehicle arrives set up for pickup.
Beyond the standard curbside pickup, an optional in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is available as a paid extra. Once the included courtesy waiting window ends, additional time bills in 30-minute blocks. Paying by card or payment link carries a 4% bank fee. The fare excludes food, drinks, and driver gratuity; only sealed bottled water is allowed, and no eating in the vehicle.
The ride takes about 30 minutes off-peak and up to 45 minutes at peak, over the 17.9-mile run. Nearly all of that distance follows I-95 north out of the airport corridor, so your total time hinges mostly on traffic rather than route choice. Early mornings and mid-evenings tend to move fastest; weekday rush hours and the late-afternoon build-up on I-95 are what push the trip toward the higher end. Because the fare is fixed per vehicle, none of that traffic changes your price — a slow crawl in bad conditions costs exactly what a clear run does. Your driver monitors your inbound flight and adjusts the pickup time automatically if you land early or late, so a delayed arrival never means a missed car or a re-booking scramble. Plan for the 30-to-45-minute window and you will not be caught short at either end.
Send your flight number, pickup date and time, party size, and your Ives Estates address, and we confirm the vehicle and driver for your trip in either direction. Book at least 24 hours ahead for guaranteed availability; message us on WhatsApp for a same-day or oversized-luggage request and we will review it. Reach out to lock your flat fare today.

Aim for a full day — 24 hours — before pickup. Around holidays and packed weekends, the sooner you reserve, the more vehicle options we can hold for you.
Of course. Bookings come in from every corner of the world; international payments are no problem, and updates reach you over WhatsApp and email.
We operate on advance reservations only. Four hours ahead is the practical minimum, and a same-day slot depends entirely on availability — it can’t be promised.
A part-payment locks your reservation: 50% when the total is under $199 USD, and 30% once it reaches $200 USD or more.
Not fully. The vehicle is secured with a 50% deposit sent by Zelle or our payment link; whatever remains can be handed to the driver in cash on arrival.
Not at all — hotels, cruise ports, train stations, restaurants and private homes are all regular stops for us.
The fleet runs from XL SUVs for small parties to 12- and 14-seat vans, plus full-size buses holding 40 to 54 riders — a fit for big events.
Gladly — weddings, corporate conferences, VIP outings and similar events all get a tailored quote; just message us.
Part of the fleet carries Wi-Fi and USB outlets. Flag it when booking if you depend on either, and we’ll assign a vehicle that has both.
Never — every transfer is private. The vehicle belongs to your group alone from pickup to drop-off.
Relax: we follow your flight live and slide the pickup to match, with no fee for the adjustment.
Send over the new details the moment you have them; we update the booking and keep watching the revised flight.
Standard pickup is curbside — text your exit door and the car pulls up within minutes, typically faster than a sign-holder. An in-terminal greeting with your name on a sign is available for $20 if you prefer it.
A day ahead you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle model and its plate number, plus step-by-step curbside instructions.
Stay calm — a message goes out to you as soon as your plane touches down. No quick reply? The driver walks to the international arrivals hall to look for you there. Nobody gets left behind.
Sixty minutes after a domestic landing, a two-hour courtesy on international arrivals, 15 minutes at hotels, and up to an hour past the agreed time at the port.
With two free hours already included it’s rare, but beyond that the trip can be treated as a no-show. Extra waiting can be added at US$ 30 per additional 30-minute block, paid in cash directly to the driver.
Yes — loading and unloading your bags is part of the driver’s job.
One large case plus one carry-on per rider is standard. Extra suitcases, instruments, mobility gear or strollers? Tell us beforehand so the right space is set aside; a supplement may apply.
Small pets ride happily — inside a secure carrier — as long as you mention them ahead of time.
One seat for a child under five comes free; additional seats are US$ 15 each when requested in advance.
Please hold the food for later — only sealed bottled water is fine during the ride.
They’re not part of the base fare, but a brief nearby stop arranged beforehand can usually be worked in; a small time-based fee may apply.
Sure — with at least 24 hours’ warning we’ll re-slot it, subject to availability.
None — the quote is the final figure. Tipping the driver is optional, always appreciated, never required.
On point, well-maintained interior, no clutter at all.
