A private transfer to or from MIA and Kendale Lakes covers 14.8 miles in about 26 to 40 minutes by black SUV or private van, at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle. The drive follows the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), and your bilingual driver tracks the inbound flight to meet you curbside when you land — no surge pricing, no shared ride.
Prices are per vehicle, locked at booking, and cover the whole group — tolls and fuel already included.
The ride runs about 26 minutes off-peak and up to 40 minutes at busy times across the 14.8-mile route. Early mornings and late evenings tend to sit at the shorter end, while weekday rush hours and heavy airport arrival waves push toward the longer figure. The distance itself does not change; congestion around the airport corridor and the west-side surface streets near Kendale Lakes is what adds the extra minutes. Because your fare is fixed at booking, a slower trip never costs more — you pay the same flat rate whether the roads are clear or crawling. If your flight is delayed, the pickup shifts automatically, so the clock effectively starts when you actually walk out of the terminal.
Peak-hour congestion near the airport interchange and the local streets approaching Kendale Lakes is the main factor that lengthens the trip toward 40 minutes. School drop-off and pickup periods and weekday commuter flow add to it. Your driver adjusts the departure and routing around live conditions, and the fixed fare stays the same regardless of delay.
Yes — the first child seat is free for a child under 5, and any additional seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Request the seats when you reserve so the driver installs them before pickup. This keeps younger travelers secure for the drive between the airport and Kendale Lakes.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Daytime hours run 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. Trips outside that window carry a modest addition:
Nothing extra to do — the driver tracks your flight and re-times the pickup automatically at no cost when you land late or early. Courtesy waiting covers 2 hours for international flights and 1 hour for domestic arrivals, so a normal delay is fully absorbed. Your fixed fare does not change because of a schedule shift.
The flat rate covers the private vehicle, the bilingual driver, all tolls and SunPass, and fuel — nothing metered on top. Courtesy waiting is built in: 2 hours for international arrivals, 1 hour for domestic, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups, with the pickup re-timed free when a flight shifts. Your standard luggage allowance is 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, and drivers help load and unload. The essentials travel with you at no added cost.
A few optional items sit outside the base fare. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is a paid add-on. Each child seat beyond the first free one carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Waiting past the courtesy window is billed in 30-minute blocks, card or link payments add a 4% bank fee, and gratuity is optional.
Each passenger gets 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, and the driver helps load and unload. The Black SUV comfortably handles a family’s bags, while the private vans scale up for larger groups. For extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp beforehand and we confirm the space or size up to a bigger van.
Yes, small pets are welcome with advance notice by WhatsApp and must travel in a pet carrier. Letting us know when you book ensures the right vehicle and a smooth ride to or from the airport. There is no separate fare for the group when a small pet joins your private car.
One vehicle is reserved for your group alone, driven by a bilingual driver who speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese. The fare is locked when you book, so traffic or demand never changes the number you agreed to — no surge, ever. Flight tracking is built in: the driver follows your inbound flight and re-times the pickup at no cost if you land early or late. You contact us directly by WhatsApp for anything, from confirming an oversized bag to adjusting a pickup time. Drivers help load and unload your luggage rather than leaving you to manage it curbside. The day before travel, you receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate number so there is no guessing at the airport. It is a coordinated, private experience built around your itinerary instead of a car you hail after arrival.
Every driver is bilingual and briefed on your specific pickup before the trip. They arrive with your flight already tracked, greet you by name, and handle the bags. Because the car is dedicated to your reservation, there is no detour to collect strangers — the route goes straight to your Kendale Lakes address.
Pick the tier that matches your party size — every option is private and reserved for you alone.
Kendale Lakes is a residential, family-centered community in southwest Miami-Dade, defined by quiet neighborhoods, chains of small lakes, and everyday conveniences rather than tourist crowds. Strip malls, supermarkets, casual restaurants, and community services line the main avenues, giving the area a practical, lived-in feel. Green space and waterside walking paths give the neighborhood its name, and a well-known local park anchors family outings and weekend recreation. It is the kind of destination where visitors are usually heading to a home, a business meeting, or a relative’s place rather than a resort. You can learn more about local recreation at Kendale Lakes Park, and the community’s school pride shows through at Kendale Lakes Elementary.
The area leans toward local recreation and everyday amenities: neighborhood parks with playing fields and walking paths, community sports, and casual dining along the commercial avenues. It suits family visits, youth events, and unhurried afternoons rather than nightlife. Shopping centers and supermarkets keep essentials close, so a stay here feels comfortable and self-contained.
Kendale Lakes sits within the broader southwest Miami-Dade suburbs, bordered by similar residential districts of single-family homes, townhomes, and low-rise commercial strips. The setting is inland and calm, away from the coastal tourist zones. Wide avenues and lake-lined blocks give the community an open, low-density character that is easy to reach by a direct private drive.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link; full cash at pickup is not accepted. A round trip simply costs double the one-way fare. Card or link payments carry a 4% bank fee. For pickups on the Miami side, you confirm the booking with a 50% deposit and can settle the remaining 50% with the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas require full payment in advance, which we confirm when you book. Cancellations made 24 or more hours before pickup are fully refunded; within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable, so it helps to lock plans early.
For a standard Miami-side pickup, half the fare secures the reservation and the balance is paid to the driver on the day of travel, cash welcome. The deposit goes through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure link. This split keeps booking simple while confirming your vehicle and driver ahead of time.
Your driver meets you curbside at the arrivals level once you exit the terminal with your bags. The inbound flight is tracked in real time, so the car is positioned as you walk out. You will already have the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate by text from the day before. An in-terminal greeter with a name sign is available as a paid add-on.
The most direct option is a private car reserved for your group, riding the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) west toward Kendale Lakes in about 26 to 40 minutes. Choose the Black SUV for up to 5 travelers, or a private Sprinter van for larger parties of 6 to 9 or 10 to 14. You book ahead, share your flight number, and the vehicle is assigned to you alone — no stops for other passengers, no scheduled route. The night before, we text your driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate so you know exactly who to look for. When you clear the terminal, the driver is already at the curb, ready to load your bags and pull out. It is one confirmed pickup, planned around your arrival rather than requested after you land.
Your driver watches the flight in real time and positions at the arrivals curb by the time you walk out with your luggage. The standard pickup is curbside; an in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on you can request when booking. Courtesy waiting covers 2 hours for international flights and 1 hour for domestic.
Book at least 24 hours ahead so we can confirm the vehicle and driver for your window. A request inside 24 hours is still reviewed by hand, though availability is not guaranteed. Once confirmed, you can move your pickup time with 24-plus hours notice, subject to availability, which helps when travel plans shift.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price listed above. Five passengers in the SUV pay the same total as one. A round trip is simply double the one-way rate. Because the price is locked at booking, traffic and demand never move it.
Reserve at least 24 hours ahead with your flight details and Kendale Lakes address, and we confirm the vehicle, driver, and pickup time. Message us on WhatsApp for oversized bags, child seats, or a pet, and we sort it before trip day. Lock your flat rate now and ride to or from MIA and Kendale Lakes with a private car waiting when you land.
