A private transfer to or from MIA and Verandah covers 157 miles (252.7 km) in about 147 to 162 minutes, riding in a black SUV or climate-controlled private van at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle. Your driver follows I-75 north for most of the way, tracks your flight, and waits curbside when you land.
One flat price covers the whole vehicle and your group, locked at booking with no surge for traffic or demand.
Real questions travelers ask about the run to or from Verandah, answered with the actual numbers.
Nothing shifts and nothing extra is owed. Your driver follows the inbound flight live and automatically adjusts the curbside pickup if you land late or early. Courtesy waiting spans two hours on international arrivals and one hour on domestic, leaving a generous cushion before any extra-time charges start.
The pickup that comes included is at the curb — having tracked your flight, the driver is stationed there as you leave the terminal. The day before, you receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate, plus clear meeting directions. A name-sign meet inside the terminal is offered as a paid optional extra.
Pricing is per vehicle, never per passenger — the whole group travels on the single flat figure listed above, whether one person rides or the van is full. Up to the vehicle’s capacity, extra riders add nothing, and no surge applies for traffic or hour of the day.
Standard allowance is 1 checked bag and 1 carry-on for each passenger, with the driver assisting at loading and unloading. Groups with oversized or additional luggage should message us on WhatsApp in advance so we confirm the room or move you into a bigger van — settled before the trip begins.
The private van — the vehicle a “shuttle” search really points to — is charged per vehicle at the flat figure in the list above, never per seat, because it carries your group alone rather than a shared load. A round trip runs double the one-way, and daytime pickups have no surcharge.
Yes. A round trip goes on one booking and costs twice the one-way price. Provide the arrival flight plus the return date and time, and the same private vehicle class handles both legs. For the Miami-side pickup direction, the 50% deposit with 50% to the driver applies.
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.

Three private vehicle tiers cover the route, and each is reserved for your group only.
You reserve a private vehicle for your group alone — never a shared or pooled ride — at a flat rate locked at booking, so the fare on the screen is the fare you pay. A bilingual driver (English plus Spanish or Portuguese) handles the route, tracks your inbound flight, and loads and unloads your luggage. Booking and questions go straight to us on WhatsApp, not through an app queue, so a real person confirms your vehicle, your pickup time, and any special request before the trip. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are already inside the rate, and the day before travel you receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate number. On a 157-mile run, that coordination is the difference between a planned ride and a scramble at the curb — you know exactly who is meeting you and what it costs before you leave home.
The ride runs about 147 minutes off-peak and up to 162 minutes when traffic is heavy, covering 157 miles (252.7 km) via I-75 north. The peak-versus-off-peak gap is roughly fifteen minutes, driven mostly by the pace leaving the Miami metro before the highway opens up. Because this is a long-distance run, one short comfort stop for a restroom or a snack can be arranged on route if your group wants it — just let the driver know. The flat rate holds no matter how the traffic moves, so a slower afternoon never changes what you pay. For inbound arrivals, the driver watches your flight in real time and adjusts the pickup automatically if you land early or late, so the clock never works against you.
The flat rate covers the private vehicle, a bilingual driver, and all tolls, SunPass, and fuel — nothing on the road is billed separately. Flight tracking is included, with a curbside pickup where the driver is ready at the curb as you exit. Courtesy waiting comes standard: two hours for international arrivals, one hour for domestic, and fifteen minutes for hotel pickups, and the pickup is re-timed at no cost when a flight is delayed or lands early. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot. Luggage is 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, and the driver helps load and unload. Not included: food or drinks, driver gratuity (optional, always appreciated), and unscheduled stops.
The in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is a paid optional extra, separate from the standard curbside pickup. Once the courtesy waiting window closes, further time is charged in 30-minute increments. Oversized or additional luggage may call for a bigger van — message us beforehand and we confirm the room.
With advance WhatsApp notice, small pets travel inside a pet carrier. For children, one child seat comes free for a child under five, and every additional seat has an extra fee confirmed at booking. Share ages and the number of seats at reservation so the correct setup is waiting.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link; card and link payments carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is simply double the one-way price. For a pickup on the Miami side, the booking confirms with a 50% deposit and the remaining 50% may be paid to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas are paid in full in advance — we confirm which applies to your booking. Book at least 24 hours ahead; an under-24-hour request is still reviewed manually, though availability is not guaranteed. Cancellations made 24 or more hours before pickup receive a full refund; within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with no surcharge. A trip that falls outside that window adds a small surcharge:
Verandah sits on Florida’s Gulf-Coast side, the direction I-75 carries you after it leaves the Miami metro. It reads as a calm, resort-style setting — landscaped grounds, an easygoing pace, and the warm southwest-Florida character that draws visitors looking to slow down rather than rush. Your driver delivers you directly to the address you provide, helps unload the luggage, and confirms details for any return trip before leaving.
There is a polished, leisure-first character to Verandah — a destination shaped around comfort, easy style, and life outdoors. To get a feel for that aesthetic, both the Verandah conscious resort-wear studio and Veranda’s home-and-design guide capture the refined, relaxed mood the name suggests.
The surrounding Gulf-Coast area favors outdoor and leisure pursuits — open green space, waterway vistas, and the slow-paced atmosphere this corner of Florida is known for. It fits travelers coming for a golf weekend, a family escape, or a quiet break from the city. Name the exact door and your driver drops you there.
You are delivered to the precise address you give, whether a residence, a rental, or lodging in the broader Gulf-Coast area. We do not endorse specific properties, but the surrounding communities carry the calm, resort-style character the region is famous for. Hand us the address and the driver goes straight to it.
The simplest way is a private point-to-point transfer reserved for your group, with a bilingual driver who meets you curbside at MIA and drives you straight through to Verandah. You select the vehicle by group size: a black SUV for up to five passengers and their bags, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to nine, or a larger Sprinter van for ten to fourteen. Once you land, there is no line to join and no car to request — the driver already has your flight details and pulls to the curb when you exit the terminal. Booking is direct: message us on WhatsApp with your flight, date, group size, and the Verandah address, and we confirm the vehicle. The day before your trip you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate, plus curbside pickup instructions so the meeting point is clear before you arrive.
Send your flight number, travel date, group size, and the Verandah address on WhatsApp, and we confirm your vehicle and pickup time. Book at least 24 hours ahead for the smoothest arrangement; we operate 24/7, year-round, with more than five years on the road.

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.
