A private transfer to or from MIA and Burnt Store Marina runs a flat rate from $350 per vehicle, covering the 180.4-mile (290.2 km) drive in about 166 to 181 minutes door to door via I-75. You ride in a private Black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, straight from Miami International Airport to your marina address.
The rate is flat and per vehicle for the whole group, locked at booking with no surge for traffic or demand.
Three private vehicle tiers cover this route, all reserved for your party alone.
The fare includes tolls, SunPass, and fuel, along with onboard WiFi via a mobile hotspot and sealed bottled water. Flight tracking with curbside pickup comes standard, plus courtesy waiting — 2 hours for international arrivals, 1 hour for domestic, 15 minutes at hotel pickups — with the pickup re-timed free when a flight moves. Every passenger carries 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on. Bringing extra or oversized luggage? A WhatsApp message ahead of time lets us confirm the room or move you up to a larger van. Small pets travel with advance WhatsApp notice in a pet carrier. A first child seat is free for a child under five.
Certain extras fall outside the base rate. The in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is a paid option beyond the included curbside pickup. Child seats after the first free one carry an added fee confirmed at booking. Waiting that runs past the courtesy window bills in 30-minute blocks. Card or payment-link payments add a 4% bank fee. Tipping is optional and always appreciated, while food, drinks, and unscheduled stops sit outside the fare — though a brief nearby stop planned in advance can usually be worked in.
A private point-to-point transfer is the direct way to cross from Miami International Airport to the Charlotte Harbor coast. You book one vehicle for your group, and the driver meets you curbside when you exit the terminal, ready with your name texted the day before. Smaller parties of up to five take the Black SUV; groups of six to nine ride a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, and larger parties of ten to fourteen size up to the bigger Sprinter. The driver loads and unloads your bags, then heads onto I-75 for the southwest crossing to your gate at the marina. Booking is easy: reserve 24 or more hours ahead by message so the vehicle and driver are assigned, though an under-24-hour request is still reviewed manually when time is short. One reservation covers the whole door-to-door trip, from the airport curb to your final address.
Burnt Store Marina is a waterfront boating community on the southwest Florida coast, set along the sheltered edge of the Charlotte Harbor estuary. The pace is relaxed and residential, built around one of the region’s larger deep-water marinas, with sailboats and powerboats lining the basins and a horizon of open water and mangrove shoreline. Golf, tennis, dining, and slow evening walks along the docks define the daily rhythm here, and the surrounding area leans toward calm, nature-facing recreation rather than nightlife. It draws boaters, seasonal residents, and visitors who want a quiet harbor base within reach of Gulf-coast fishing and paddling. You can learn about the community at the Burnt Store Marina neighborhood site or explore amenities through the local golf and country club.
Places to stay concentrate around the marina district and the wider Punta Gorda–Charlotte Harbor area to the north, a run of low-rise waterfront neighborhoods and boating enclaves. Whatever exact address you give us — a home, a rental, a slip office, or a community gate — the booking simply lists it and the driver takes you straight there.
Life here is organized around the water: boating, chartered fishing, kayak runs through mangrove channels, and estuary shoreline full of wildlife. On dry land, golf and racquet sports anchor the community, and waterside restaurants overlook the basins. The pace is slow and outdoors-focused — a Gulf-coast contrast to the Miami rush you just left.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, with card and link payments carrying a 4% bank fee. Full cash at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is simply double the one-way price for the same vehicle.
The door-to-door ride takes about 166 to 181 minutes, off-peak to peak. Most of the route follows I-75 across the Everglades corridor and up the southwest Florida coast, so the biggest variable is the volume leaving the Miami metro rather than the open highway stretch. Depart in the quieter mid-morning or early-afternoon window and the trip trends toward the lower end of that range; leave during the heaviest commuting waves and it stretches closer to 181 minutes. Because the driver watches your inbound flight in real time, an early or late landing simply shifts the pickup — the clock on your ride starts when you are actually in the vehicle. The distance itself is fixed at 180.4 miles, a long-haul run where the driver can arrange one short comfort stop for a restroom or snack if your group wants it on the way.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with no added charge. Pickups scheduled outside that window carry a modest surcharge that depends on the vehicle.
These are the questions travelers ask most about the MIA to Burnt Store Marina run — each answered directly, with the real numbers already on this page.
At Miami International Airport your driver meets you curbside, standing by at the pickup lane when you exit. The night before, a text delivers the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate together with curbside directions. An in-terminal greeter holding a name sign is offered as an optional paid extra.
Your inbound flight is tracked in real time and the pickup shifts at no charge if you land late or early. Courtesy waiting spans 2 hours on international flights and 1 hour on domestic. Only once that window passes does additional time bill in 30-minute blocks, so an ordinary delay costs nothing.
The fare is per vehicle rather than per person — the whole group rides for the single flat figure in the prices list above. Five in the Black SUV pay exactly what one would. Pick the tier matching your headcount and luggage, and the price stays locked from booking with no surge.
Here, a private shuttle means a Sprinter van held for your group alone — never shared or pooled. Van tiers span 6 to 9 and 10 to 14 passengers at the flat per-vehicle prices in the section above. A single reservation secures the entire vehicle for the door-to-door run.
Canceling 24 or more hours ahead of pickup earns a full refund; inside 24 hours, the booking is non-refundable. Alternatively, a confirmed pickup time can shift with 24 or more hours notice, subject to availability — which resolves most schedule changes without canceling at all.
WhatsApp connects you straight to your driver. A text the day before shares the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate, making curbside coordination fast. Use the same number to request a stop, mention extra luggage, or flag a small pet ahead of the trip.
This page focuses specifically on the Miami International Airport (MIA) run. We offer private point-to-point pickups at MIA and PortMiami, and drop-offs at other airports, ports, and cities as well. For the marina, MIA is the primary long-haul southwest Florida crossing we run along I-75.
The rate covers 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, loaded and unloaded by the driver at both ends. Extra or oversized luggage is no issue — message us on WhatsApp beforehand and we confirm the room or move you to a larger van so nothing stays behind.
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.

Your vehicle is reserved for your group alone — never pooled, never a shared ride with strangers. The fare is flat and set the moment you book, so a long holiday weekend or a rainy rush hour changes nothing about what you pay. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, and reaches you directly by WhatsApp before and during the trip. Flight tracking is built in: the driver follows your inbound flight and is ready curbside when you step out, and the pickup is re-timed at no cost if the flight is delayed or lands early. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel all sit inside the rate, and the driver handles loading and unloading your luggage at both ends. The day before your trip you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate, along with clear curbside pickup instructions.
Reserve your private ride to or from MIA and Burnt Store Marina 24 or more hours ahead so your vehicle and bilingual driver are assigned. Send your flight details, group size, and destination address, and we confirm the vehicle tier and lock your flat rate. Available 24/7, year-round, with 5-plus years in operation.

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.
Solo traveller here, no thinking, just got in and got there. no waving down anyone, the car was where they said. Made the day easier. (I were 8 in the van and still comfortable)
Me encantó, reservé online y me confirmaron rápido, sin peajes sorpresa, sin sobreventa, solo el viaje, lo guardamos para la próxima.
Bringing my parents along, the driver was friendly and easy to talk to. they confirmed by message the night before. Easy recommendation
Show de bola: primeira vez de transfer privado em Miami, sem arrependimento, veículo moderno e bem mantido, nenhuma surpresa no final da viagem. (pro meu grupo de 6)
Tal y como prometieron. simplemente funcionó, es todo lo que queremos tras un vuelo.
