A private transfer to or from MIA and North Merritt Island covers 209.6 miles (337.4 km) in about 206 to 217 minutes door to door, riding in a black SUV or private van at a flat rate from $550 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver runs the route north on Florida’s Turnpike and I-95, tracking your flight for a curbside pickup at Miami International Airport (MIA).
Each fare below is the full flat price per vehicle for the private transfer, locked the moment you book — not a per-person charge.
Per vehicle, never per person. The flat fare listed above covers your entire group in one private SUV or van, whether that is two travelers or the vehicle’s full seat count. A round trip is simply double the one-way rate. Nothing is added for extra passengers up to the vehicle’s capacity.
Yes. The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and the driver loads and unloads for you. Have extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van — it is not a hard cap.
North Merritt Island is a quiet, largely residential stretch at the north end of Merritt Island in Brevard County, on Florida’s Space Coast. The area leans green and low-key — waterfront lots along the Indian River lagoon, citrus land, boat ramps, and the birdlife and manatees the region is loved for. It sits within the Kennedy Space Center corridor, so many travelers here are visiting for a launch, a cruise, or family near the water rather than a downtown. You can read the county’s own outline of the neighborhood in the North Merritt Island special district overview, and see wider area plans through the Merritt Island redevelopment agency.
Since North Merritt Island itself is largely residential, visitors often stay across the greater Merritt Island and coastal Cocoa Beach areas, or closer to the Space Center corridor. Drop-off goes to any address you pick — private home, rental, or lodging area — for the single flat fare.
Yes — as a private shuttle, meaning the van is reserved only for your group, not a shared or scheduled service. A private Sprinter van seats 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 passengers for the one flat per-vehicle price shown above. There is no pooling with other travelers at any point.
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.
Three private vehicle classes cover this route, each reserved for your party alone. Lead with the black SUV or SUV XL for up to 5 passengers with luggage — the usual pick for couples, families, and small groups. Step up to a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9 passengers when the group grows or the bags pile up. For the largest parties, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van seats 10 to 14 with room for luggage. Every class is private point to point from MIA — no shared seating and no pooling with other travelers. Not sure which fits? Send your headcount and bag count on WhatsApp and we match the right vehicle to your group and the North Merritt Island address.
Most trips carry no extra charge beyond the flat fare, but a few optional items can be added. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on, separate from the standard curbside pickup. Additional child seats beyond the first free one carry a small fee. If you need waiting past the included courtesy window, that extra time is billed in 30-minute blocks. Gratuity for the driver is optional and always appreciated. Oversized or extra bags are welcome — just message us in advance so we confirm the space or move you to a larger private van. Food, beverages, and unscheduled stops are not part of the base rate, though a short nearby stop arranged ahead can usually be accommodated.
The flat rate covers the whole private ride from MIA to the North Merritt Island address, with no add-on for distance or demand. A bilingual driver meets you curbside, tracks your flight in real time, and helps load and unload every bag. Onboard you get WiFi through a mobile hotspot and sealed bottled water. Your standard luggage allowance is one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger. Curbside pickup, flight tracking, and the vehicle reserved for your group are all part of the price you lock at booking — nothing on that list is billed again on the day. Only sealed bottled water is provided, and eating in the vehicle is not permitted.
Yes. All tolls on Florida’s Turnpike and I-95, the SunPass charges, and every drop of fuel for the trip are built into the flat fare. No cash changes hands at a toll booth or gas stop, and the long distance to Brevard County adds no fuel line to your bill.
With advance WhatsApp notice, small pets travel inside a pet carrier. For kids, the first seat for a child under 5 is free; every additional child seat has a small added fee set when you book. Share the ages so the correct seats await at pickup.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link; full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A round trip simply costs double the one-way fare shown above. For a pickup on the Miami side, you confirm the booking with a 50% deposit and pay the remaining 50% to the driver on the day, cash included. Some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas are asked to pay in full ahead of time. Card or secure-link payments add a 4% bank fee, while the two app transfers do not. You lock the fare when you book, so nothing about the amount shifts between the deposit and the trip.
Miami-side pickups confirm with a 50% deposit, and the driver takes the remaining 50% on travel day, cash accepted. Pickups originating in the reverse direction from more distant areas may be asked to pay in full upfront. In either case, the fare itself never shifts after booking.
The drive from MIA to North Merritt Island runs about 206 minutes off-peak and up to 217 minutes at peak, covering 209.6 miles (337.4 km). The route climbs north out of Miami on Florida’s Turnpike, then joins I-95 up the coast toward Brevard County. Off-peak departures — early morning or mid-day — sit near the lower end of that window. Afternoon rush around the metro areas and any Space Coast event traffic push toward the upper end. Because the fare is fixed per vehicle, a slower run never costs more. On a trip this long, one short comfort stop for a restroom or a snack can be arranged on route without changing the flat price.
Departures in the early morning or midday typically land at the lower end of the window, around 206 minutes, thanks to clearer metro highways. Late-afternoon pickups meet rush-hour traffic leaving Miami and can stretch toward 217 minutes. Whatever the clock says, the per-vehicle fare stays put.
The standard pickup is curbside at Miami International Airport: your driver watches the flight, positions the vehicle, and is waiting at the curb when you walk out with your bags. The day before, you receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate by text, with clear curbside instructions. An in-terminal meet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM carry no surcharge. Trips scheduled outside that window add a small amount to the flat fare, set by vehicle type:
Nothing extra to pay. Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and re-times the curbside pickup automatically when you land early or late. Courtesy waiting is included — 2 hours for international arrivals, 1 hour for domestic, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups — so a normal delay is already covered.
The best way to cover the 209.6 miles to North Merritt Island is a private door-to-door transfer in a vehicle reserved for your group alone. Choose a black SUV for up to 5 travelers, a private Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or a larger private van for 10 to 14. After you land, the driver meets you curbside at MIA, helps load every bag, and heads straight north — no rideshare queue and no second stop for other passengers along the way. You ride point to point to the exact address you give. Booking takes a message on WhatsApp or a quick online request, ideally 24 hours or more ahead: you send the flight number and drop-off address, we confirm the vehicle and driver, and the fare is set right then.
Submit your flight number, pickup date and time, headcount, and the North Merritt Island address via WhatsApp or the online form, no less than 24 hours ahead. We confirm the vehicle and lock the fare. Requests inside 24 hours still get manual review, but availability is not promised.
A private ride to North Merritt Island puts your group alone in the vehicle with a driver who speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese. The fare is locked the moment you book, so heavy demand and slow traffic never move the price. Your driver tracks the inbound flight and is already at the curb when you walk out, then loads and unloads the luggage for you. There is no shared seating and no pooling with strangers — the SUV or private van carries only your party. You reach the driver directly on WhatsApp before and during the trip, so a change of plan is a quick message rather than a support ticket. The operator has run this kind of transfer for more than five years and is available 24/7, all year.
Yes. Each booking is a private point-to-point ride. The black SUV or private Sprinter van carries your party alone from MIA to the North Merritt Island address you provide — no added passengers, and no stops on route to collect or drop anyone else.
Lock your private transfer to or from MIA and North Merritt Island in a couple of minutes. Send the flight number, pickup date and time, passenger and bag count, and the North Merritt Island address by WhatsApp or the online request, ideally 24 hours or more ahead. We confirm the vehicle, the driver, and the flat fare, then text the driver’s name, vehicle, and plate the day before. Cancel with 24 or more hours notice for a full refund; within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable.

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.
Una experiencia ideal. cargó todo rápido y con cuidado, y no hubo que buscar a nadie, el auto estaba donde dijeron.
Nos sorprendió para bien. íbamos a ciegas y todo salió perfecto, lo mejor incluso con tráfico la ruta tuvo sentido. (éramos 8 en la van y entró todo bien)
