Private transportation to or from MIA and Alva covers 136.8 miles (220.1 km) in about 145 to 159 minutes door to door, in a private Black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle. The route heads north from Miami International Airport along US-27, and the fare stays locked from the moment you reserve.
Pricing is per vehicle, not per person, so your whole group rides for one flat figure chosen by seat count.
One private vehicle is reserved for your party alone — no pooling, no detours to collect strangers, and no scheduled route. The rate is flat and locked at booking, so peak-hour demand and traffic never change what you pay.
Every journey runs with a bilingual driver who speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which keeps directions, luggage, and drop-off simple for out-of-town travelers. You book directly by WhatsApp with a real person, not a queue, and adjust details up to the day before. Drivers load and unload your bags themselves, keep the cabin climate-controlled, and carry an onboard hotspot for WiFi on the long run north. Because the fare is per vehicle, a family of five or a group of fourteen each rides for a single agreed price rather than a per-head tally.
The driver is assigned ahead of time, texts you the night before with the vehicle and plate, and waits at the curb ready to roll. Bilingual communication, careful handling of your luggage, and a sealed bottle of water in the car come standard with the ride — none of it is an upsell added later.
Yes. Along with the MIA-to-Alva run, we handle private drop-offs to PortMiami and other destinations from the airport or your Miami-side address. The same flat, per-vehicle pricing and private-vehicle setup apply, with the driver tracking timing so a cruise or connection stays comfortably on schedule.
The flat fare covers the private vehicle, the bilingual driver, and every road cost between MIA and Alva, so nothing is added for the distance itself.
The price already covers tolls, SunPass, and fuel. Curbside pickup is included, with the driver following your flight and standing by when you walk out. WiFi onboard runs through a mobile hotspot, and drivers handle all luggage. Small pets ride with advance WhatsApp notice in a pet carrier. A first child seat for a child under five costs nothing. Courtesy waiting spans two hours for international flights, one hour for domestic, and fifteen minutes at hotel pickups, and a delayed or early flight simply re-times the pickup free of charge.
The in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is a paid option, not part of the base rate. Child seats after the first free one carry a small fee confirmed at booking. Waiting beyond the courtesy window bills in 30-minute blocks. Card or payment-link charges add a 4% bank fee. Food, drinks, gratuity, and unscheduled stops are excluded, though a brief stop arranged in advance can be worked in.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips scheduled outside that window carry a small added charge by vehicle class.
Every passenger’s fare includes one checked bag plus one carry-on, and the driver loads and unloads them for you. Carrying extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the space or size up to a larger private van, so a full load is rarely a problem on this route.
Plan on about 145 minutes off-peak and up to 159 minutes at peak for the 136.8-mile run from MIA to Alva. The gap between the two is ordinary rush-hour density leaving the Miami metro before the road opens up heading north on US-27.
Because US-27 carries most of the distance, the trip time depends far more on when you leave Miami than on the miles themselves. A mid-morning or early-afternoon departure typically lands near the off-peak figure, while a late-afternoon exit through commuter volume pushes toward the peak number. Your driver watches your inbound flight so the clock starts at your real arrival rather than a guessed one, and the flat fare does not change whether the road is clear or slow.
Congestion mostly lengthens the initial run out of the metro; after that, the open highway keeps a steady pace. That is why the estimate spans roughly fourteen minutes instead of an unpredictable wait — and either way, the price never moves.
The most direct way is a private point-to-point transfer that leaves Miami International Airport and runs the full 136.8 miles north on US-27 straight to your Alva address. You pick the vehicle by group size: a Black SUV for up to five travelers, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to nine, or a larger Sprinter for ten to fourteen. After you land, your driver is already curbside — the pickup follows your live flight time, so there is no app to open and no car to hail. You send your flight number and drop-off address on WhatsApp, we text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate the day before, and the driver helps load your bags. One vehicle carries only your party the whole way, with tolls and fuel already handled, so the ride to Alva stays quiet and direct from curb to door.
Nothing changes on your end. The driver tracks your inbound flight in real time and re-times the pickup automatically at no extra cost, whether you land late or early. Courtesy waiting covers two hours for an international arrival and one hour for a domestic one, so a delayed bag claim or a slow customs line is already absorbed.
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 simply costs double the one-way price shown above, booked as one reservation.
On the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the pickup, and the balance of 50% can be handed to the driver on travel day, cash welcome at that stage. Certain reverse-direction pickups from more distant areas must be settled fully up front; we confirm which case applies at booking.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person, so your entire group rides for the one flat price in the list above. A round trip is simply double the one-way figure, and trips outside daytime hours add only the small night surcharge already noted. Nobody pays a separate per-head fare.
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 included pickup is curbside at Miami International Airport: the driver follows your flight, then waits at the curb when you exit with your bags. You receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate by text the day before. If you prefer an in-terminal meet with a name sign, that is available as an optional paid add-on.
Alva sits at the far northern end of this US-27 run, well away from the pace of downtown Miami. It reads as a calm, low-key area, the kind of quiet, spread-out community travelers reach for a relaxed stay rather than for nightlife or crowds. A private transfer suits that character: you arrive rested, directly at your address, without transfers or waiting. For context, the Alva name turns up around the world — on the Alva skate label and on the ALVA riverside hotel in Shatin — but here it simply names your destination at the quiet end of the drive north from Miami.
Yes. On a long haul like this, one brief comfort stop for a restroom or a snack can be planned along the way — simply flag it at booking so the driver builds it in. Eating in the vehicle is not allowed, and only sealed bottled water travels onboard.
Choose by headcount and luggage. Each option is a private vehicle held for your party alone, with the driver, tolls, and fuel already covered.
Parties larger than nine fit best in the 10-to-14 passenger Sprinter, keeping the whole group in a single vehicle rather than splitting up. Sitting near the boundary of a size tier, or hauling extra luggage? Message us on WhatsApp and we sort the right fit before you commit.
Book at least 24 hours ahead for the smoothest scheduling; under-24-hour requests are still reviewed by hand, though availability is not guaranteed. Send your flight number, party size, and Alva address on WhatsApp, and we lock the vehicle, the flat rate, and the pickup time — then text your driver’s details the day before. Service runs 24/7, year-round.

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.
You get a full refund if you cancel more than 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. Within 24 hours of the ride, the booking is non-refundable.
Sem dor de cabeça. Desembarque rápido. Trajeto silencioso.
Reunión familiar en Miami, nuestro grupo, primera vez organizando un transfer así y todo encajó. el baúl entró cuatro maletas grandes más las de mano. Ya guardamos el número para el próximo viaje.
From confirmation to drop-off, every step landed where it should. 20-minute pickup window worked for us.
Sin queja alguna. los usamos el año pasado y de nuevo en este viaje, y encima el wifi funcionó, los chicos se entretuvieron en el camino.
Primer viaje solo en mucho tiempo, precios transparentes desde la reserva. el wifi funcionó, yo se entretuvieron en el camino. Mejor imposible. (éramos 8 en la van y entró todo bien)
