A private transfer to or from MIA and Ives Estates covers 17.9 miles in about 30 to 45 minutes by black SUV or private van, at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle. The driver tracks your flight, waits curbside, and heads straight up I-95 with tolls and fuel already included — no surge, no meter, one price locked the moment you book.
The fare is per vehicle for your whole group, fixed at booking — pick the size that fits your party and luggage.
The ride takes about 30 minutes off-peak and up to 45 minutes at peak, over the 17.9-mile run. Nearly all of that distance follows I-95 north out of the airport corridor, so your total time hinges mostly on traffic rather than route choice. Early mornings and mid-evenings tend to move fastest; weekday rush hours and the late-afternoon build-up on I-95 are what push the trip toward the higher end. Because the fare is fixed per vehicle, none of that traffic changes your price — a slow crawl in bad conditions costs exactly what a clear run does. Your driver monitors your inbound flight and adjusts the pickup time automatically if you land early or late, so a delayed arrival never means a missed car or a re-booking scramble. Plan for the 30-to-45-minute window and you will not be caught short at either end.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link; card and link payments add a 4% bank fee, and full cash at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare. For a pickup on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms the booking and the remaining 50% can go to the driver on trip day, cash accepted; some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas ask for full payment in advance. Book at least 24 hours ahead for guaranteed availability — an under-24-hour request is still reviewed by hand, though space is not promised — and a confirmed pickup time can be shifted with 24 or more hours notice, subject to availability. Cancel with 24 or more hours notice for a full refund; within 24 hours of pickup the booking is non-refundable. The day before your trip, your driver’s details and curbside instructions arrive by text.
The included pickup is curbside: your driver is ready at the curb as you exit your terminal, having tracked your flight to time it. The day before, you get a text with the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate plus exact meeting instructions. An in-terminal meet with a name sign is available as an optional paid add-on.
Yes. The standard allowance is 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, and the driver loads and unloads everything for you. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van, so your group and gear ride together comfortably.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips that fall outside that window carry a small surcharge, applied by vehicle type:
Nothing changes on your end. Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and shifts the pickup to your actual landing, at no extra cost. Included courtesy waiting is 2 hours for international arrivals and 1 hour for domestic, so a delay is absorbed automatically — no re-booking, no lost car, no surge.
Yes — our private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans serve groups of 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 as a fully private ride, never a shared or pooled service. The van fare is the flat per-vehicle price in the list above, locked at booking. Trips after 9 PM add a small surcharge; otherwise the quote holds.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

The quoted fare is all-in for the vehicle: tolls, SunPass, and fuel are already covered, so the number you see at booking is the number you pay. Every trip comes with a bilingual driver — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — real-time flight tracking, and curbside pickup with the driver ready as you exit the terminal. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, and the driver helps load and unload your luggage. Courtesy waiting is included: 2 hours for international flights, 1 hour for domestic, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups, with the pickup re-timed at no cost when your flight is delayed or early.
Small pets ride with advance notice by WhatsApp, carried in a pet carrier. The first child seat is free for a child under 5; each additional seat carries a small extra fee confirmed when you book. Just tell us ages and seat needs ahead of time and we prepare the vehicle before pickup.
An optional in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is a paid add-on beyond the standard curbside pickup. After your included courtesy waiting window, extra time is billed in 30-minute blocks. Card or payment-link transactions carry a 4% bank fee. Food, drinks, and driver gratuity are not included; sealed bottled water only, no eating in the vehicle.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price shown in the prices list above. Adding passengers up to the vehicle’s capacity does not raise the cost, and a round trip is simply double the one-way rate. Nothing is priced by head.
The direct way is a private vehicle reserved for your group and routed north on I-95. After you clear the terminal, your driver is already waiting curbside — no app request, no line, no waiting for a match. Book ahead, tell us your flight number and party size, and we assign the right vehicle: a black SUV for up to 5 travelers, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or the larger Sprinter van for 10 to 14. The day before your journey you receive a text with the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate, plus exact curbside instructions for your terminal. On arrival, the driver helps load your bags, then drives you straight to your Ives Estates address. One booking handles the whole door-to-door trip in either direction, with tolls and SunPass already covered in the quoted fare.
We run private transfers only — the vehicle is yours alone, never pooled or shared, from the airport curb to your Ives Estates door. The rate is locked when you book and never surges for traffic, demand, or a delayed landing, so the fare cannot climb between the quote and the ride. Your bilingual driver reaches you in English plus Spanish or Portuguese, tracks your inbound flight in real time, and helps with every bag. You reach us directly by WhatsApp before, during, and after the trip, and your driver’s name, vehicle, and plate arrive by text the day before so there is no guessing at the curb. Available around the clock, year-round, with more than five years operating Miami transfers, we handle the whole door-to-door trip as one coordinated booking rather than a car you have to hail after you land. That is the difference: a reserved vehicle, a set price, and a real person you can message.
Three private vehicle tiers cover almost any party size, each reserved entirely for your group with no one else aboard. Match the vehicle to your headcount and bag load, and the flat fare above applies.
Ives Estates is a quiet, residential community in northeast Miami-Dade, set between the Aventura shopping district to the east and the I-95 corridor to the west. The neighborhood mixes single-family homes, low-rise apartments, and everyday retail plazas, with easy reach to the malls, dining, and marina areas of greater Aventura and the beaches farther east. Families and visitors here lean toward green space and local errands rather than nightlife; the community’s namesake green space, Ives Estates Park, offers ball fields, courts, and a pool typical of a Miami-Dade county park. If you want a fuller sense of the area before you arrive, this Ives Estates neighborhood guide lays out the local character. Whether you are visiting family, relocating, or passing through for business, the private transfer drops you at the exact door you name.
Send your flight number, pickup date and time, party size, and your Ives Estates address, and we confirm the vehicle and driver for your trip in either direction. Book at least 24 hours ahead for guaranteed availability; message us on WhatsApp for a same-day or oversized-luggage request and we will review it. Reach out to lock your flat fare today.
