A private transfer to or from MIA and Richmond West covers 23.2 miles (37.3 km) in about 36 to 56 minutes door to door, in a Black SUV or climate-controlled private van at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver meets you curbside at Miami International Airport (MIA) and drives straight to Richmond West via Florida’s Turnpike thru lanes and the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836).
The flat rate covers the whole private vehicle, not a per-seat fare, so your group rides for one locked price:
The door-to-door ride covers 23.2 miles in about 36 minutes off-peak and up to 56 minutes at the busiest times. That roughly 20-minute spread depends almost entirely on the hour you travel: early mornings and mid-evenings move quickly, while weekday rush hours around the airport and interchanges slow things down. Because your fare is locked when you book, a slower drive never changes the price — you pay the same whether traffic is light or heavy. We time departures to your flight, so an arrival that lands at a busy hour still gets a direct run to Richmond West. For a return to MIA, we suggest leaving a comfortable buffer before check-in, and your driver will recommend a pickup time based on the day and hour you are flying.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the one flat price shown above, whether you book the Black SUV or a private van. Adding passengers up to the vehicle’s capacity does not change the number — you simply choose the tier that fits your group size.
Your flat rate already includes the essentials that other services bill separately. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all built into the price, so the number you book is the number you pay. Every trip includes onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, curbside pickup with your inbound flight tracked, and a driver who loads and unloads your luggage. Courtesy waiting is included too: two hours for international arrivals, one hour for domestic flights, and fifteen minutes for hotel pickups. Sealed bottled water is on board, though eating in the vehicle is not permitted. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is available as an optional paid add-on if you would rather be met inside the terminal.
A handful of items fall outside the flat price. Card or payment-link payments add a 4% bank fee. Child seats beyond the first carry a small fee confirmed at booking. Waiting past the courtesy window is charged in 30-minute blocks, and tips are optional. Food and drinks are excluded.
One checked bag and one carry-on per passenger fit comfortably in the SUV or private van. Bringing more or something oversized? Send a WhatsApp message before travel and we will confirm the room or move you into a bigger van so all of it rides along with you.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and card or link payments carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. For a pickup on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms your booking and the remaining 50% is paid to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas are arranged with full payment in advance. A round trip is simply double the one-way price, booked as a single reservation. Book at least 24 hours ahead so we can confirm your vehicle; a booked pickup time can be moved with 24 or more hours notice, subject to availability. Cancellations made 24 or more hours before pickup are fully refunded; within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable.
Yes. The round trip goes on one reservation at twice the one-way flat price — the same vehicle and driver cover both directions. Provide both flight times and pickup details and the return gets scheduled with the identical locked price and curbside service.
A private shuttle here is our private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, priced per vehicle at the flat van rate listed above — never a shared, per-seat ride. The six-to-nine and ten-to-fourteen-passenger vans each have their own locked price, and a round trip is double the one-way. No surge, ever.
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.
Yes, small pets are welcome with advance notice. Message us on WhatsApp before your trip and bring your pet in a carrier. Letting us know ahead helps us match the right vehicle and prepare the driver, so your pet rides comfortably between the airport and Richmond West with you.
Your driver meets you curbside at Miami International Airport, ready at the curb when you walk out — the included pickup needs no app or request. We text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate the day before. Prefer to be met inside with a name sign? That meet-and-greet is an optional paid add-on.
Book a private vehicle sized to your group, and the driver handles the rest from curbside pickup to your Richmond West doorstep. Select the Black SUV for up to five travelers, or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for larger parties of six to fourteen. After you reserve, we text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate the day before your trip, along with exact curbside instructions. When you land, walk out to the curb and your driver is already there — no app, no request, no rideshare queue. The vans and SUV take Florida’s Turnpike thru lanes and the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) straight southwest toward the neighborhood. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead so we can confirm your vehicle; a request under 24 hours is still reviewed manually when time allows.
Richmond West is a quiet, residential suburb in southwest Miami-Dade County, well away from the coastal crowds and closer to the county’s parks, golf, and everyday shopping. The neighborhood is largely single-family homes, local plazas, and family-friendly streets, giving it a calm, lived-in feel rather than a tourist-strip atmosphere. Visitors usually come here for a family stay, a business visit, or as a base for exploring greater Miami’s attractions farther afield. You will find suburban shopping centers, casual restaurants, and green space across the wider West Kendall community all around. For broader travel planning across the region, browse a regional visitor guide or check local government resources for public information.
The area feels like classic suburban Miami — residential blocks, neighborhood plazas, and broad, easy roads. It runs quieter than the beach districts and keeps a family-oriented rhythm. Expect local and chain shopping, relaxed dining, and parkland nearby rather than nightlife or high-rise towers.
Close by are the suburban parks, golf courses, and family attractions typical of southwest Miami-Dade, along with everyday shopping plazas. Downtown Miami, Brickell, and the beaches lie farther to the northeast, and your private driver can run you there directly on a separate transfer whenever you feel like venturing out.
Every ride is a private vehicle reserved for your group alone — never pooled, never shared with strangers. Your fare is locked the moment you book, so demand, weather, and traffic never move the number. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, and helps load and unload every bag at both ends. You reach a real person directly over WhatsApp to arrange details, adjust a pickup time, or flag extra luggage before the trip. We have run private Miami transfers for more than five years, operate around the clock every day of the year, and send your driver’s name, vehicle, and plate the day before so there are no surprises at the curb. It is a coordinated, door-to-door service built for one group at a time.
Nothing changes on your end. Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and adjusts pickup automatically, so a delay or early landing re-times your pickup at no extra cost. Courtesy waiting covers two hours for international flights and one hour for domestic, well past a normal delay.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM carry no surcharge. Trips scheduled outside those hours add a small late-hour surcharge:
Three private vehicle tiers cover this route, and every one is booked for your group only. The Black SUV or SUV XL seats up to five passengers with luggage — the right pick for couples, families, and small groups. The private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to nine passengers suits larger families and small teams traveling together. The private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for ten to fourteen passengers handles big groups, event parties, and multi-family trips in a single vehicle. Each tier is climate-controlled and driven by a bilingual chauffeur. If your bag count is heavy for the seats, message us on WhatsApp and we can size up to the next van so everyone and everything fits comfortably.
Reserve your private transfer to or from Richmond West with a quick message, and we confirm your vehicle, driver, and pickup time. Send your flight details and group size over WhatsApp or email, book at least 24 hours ahead, and we handle the rest — from curbside pickup at MIA to your Richmond West door.

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.
