A private transfer to or from MIA and Richmond West covers 23.2 miles (37.3 km) in about 36 to 56 minutes door to door, in a Black SUV or climate-controlled private van at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver meets you curbside at Miami International Airport (MIA) and drives straight to Richmond West via Florida’s Turnpike thru lanes and the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836).
The flat rate covers the whole private vehicle, not a per-seat fare, so your group rides for one locked price:
Every ride is a private vehicle reserved for your group alone — never pooled, never shared with strangers. Your fare is locked the moment you book, so demand, weather, and traffic never move the number. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, and helps load and unload every bag at both ends. You reach a real person directly over WhatsApp to arrange details, adjust a pickup time, or flag extra luggage before the trip. We have run private Miami transfers for more than five years, operate around the clock every day of the year, and send your driver’s name, vehicle, and plate the day before so there are no surprises at the curb. It is a coordinated, door-to-door service built for one group at a time.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the one flat price shown above, whether you book the Black SUV or a private van. Adding passengers up to the vehicle’s capacity does not change the number — you simply choose the tier that fits your group size.
Your driver meets you curbside at Miami International Airport, ready at the curb when you walk out — the included pickup needs no app or request. We text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate the day before. Prefer to be met inside with a name sign? That meet-and-greet is an optional paid add-on.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and card or link payments carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. For a pickup on the Miami side, a 50% deposit confirms your booking and the remaining 50% is paid to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas are arranged with full payment in advance. A round trip is simply double the one-way price, booked as a single reservation. Book at least 24 hours ahead so we can confirm your vehicle; a booked pickup time can be moved with 24 or more hours notice, subject to availability. Cancellations made 24 or more hours before pickup are fully refunded; within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable.
Yes. A round trip is booked as one reservation and costs double the one-way flat rate — the same vehicle and driver handle both legs. Give us both flight times and pickup details, and we schedule the return with the same locked price and curbside service.
Your flat rate already includes the essentials that other services bill separately. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all built into the price, so the number you book is the number you pay. Every trip includes onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot, curbside pickup with your inbound flight tracked, and a driver who loads and unloads your luggage. Courtesy waiting is included too: two hours for international arrivals, one hour for domestic flights, and fifteen minutes for hotel pickups. Sealed bottled water is on board, though eating in the vehicle is not permitted. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is available as an optional paid add-on if you would rather be met inside the terminal.
A few items sit outside the flat rate. Card or payment-link transactions add a 4% bank fee. Extra child seats beyond the first carry a small fee confirmed at booking. Waiting past the courtesy window is billed in 30-minute blocks, and gratuity is optional. Food and drinks are not included.
Each passenger gets one checked bag plus one carry-on, which fits comfortably in the SUV or private van. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before your trip and we will confirm the space or size you up to a larger van so everything rides with you.
A private shuttle here is our private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, priced per vehicle at the flat van rate listed above — never a shared, per-seat ride. The six-to-nine and ten-to-fourteen-passenger vans each have their own locked price, and a round trip is double the one-way. No surge, ever.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Three private vehicle tiers cover this route, and every one is booked for your group only. The Black SUV or SUV XL seats up to five passengers with luggage — the right pick for couples, families, and small groups. The private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to nine passengers suits larger families and small teams traveling together. The private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for ten to fourteen passengers handles big groups, event parties, and multi-family trips in a single vehicle. Each tier is climate-controlled and driven by a bilingual chauffeur. If your bag count is heavy for the seats, message us on WhatsApp and we can size up to the next van so everyone and everything fits comfortably.
Book a private vehicle sized to your group, and the driver handles the rest from curbside pickup to your Richmond West doorstep. Select the Black SUV for up to five travelers, or a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for larger parties of six to fourteen. After you reserve, we text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate the day before your trip, along with exact curbside instructions. When you land, walk out to the curb and your driver is already there — no app, no request, no rideshare queue. The vans and SUV take Florida’s Turnpike thru lanes and the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) straight southwest toward the neighborhood. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead so we can confirm your vehicle; a request under 24 hours is still reviewed manually when time allows.
Nothing changes on your end. Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and adjusts pickup automatically, so a delay or early landing re-times your pickup at no extra cost. Courtesy waiting covers two hours for international flights and one hour for domestic, well past a normal delay.
Richmond West is a quiet, residential suburb in southwest Miami-Dade County, well away from the coastal crowds and closer to the county’s parks, golf, and everyday shopping. The neighborhood is largely single-family homes, local plazas, and family-friendly streets, giving it a calm, lived-in feel rather than a tourist-strip atmosphere. Visitors usually come here for a family stay, a business visit, or as a base for exploring greater Miami’s attractions farther afield. You will find suburban shopping centers, casual restaurants, and green space across the wider West Kendall community all around. For broader travel planning across the region, browse a regional visitor guide or check local government resources for public information.
The area reads as classic suburban Miami — residential blocks, neighborhood plazas, and wide, easy streets. It is calmer than the beach districts, with a family-oriented pace. Expect chain and local shopping, casual dining, and nearby parkland rather than nightlife or high-rise density throughout the community.
Nearby you will find suburban parks, golf courses, and family attractions typical of southwest Miami-Dade, plus everyday shopping plazas. Downtown Miami, Brickell, and the beaches sit farther northeast, and your private driver can take you there directly on a separate transfer whenever you want to explore beyond the neighborhood.
Yes, small pets are welcome with advance notice. Message us on WhatsApp before your trip and bring your pet in a carrier. Letting us know ahead helps us match the right vehicle and prepare the driver, so your pet rides comfortably between the airport and Richmond West with you.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM carry no surcharge. Trips scheduled outside those hours add a small late-hour surcharge:
The door-to-door ride covers 23.2 miles in about 36 minutes off-peak and up to 56 minutes at the busiest times. That roughly 20-minute spread depends almost entirely on the hour you travel: early mornings and mid-evenings move quickly, while weekday rush hours around the airport and interchanges slow things down. Because your fare is locked when you book, a slower drive never changes the price — you pay the same whether traffic is light or heavy. We time departures to your flight, so an arrival that lands at a busy hour still gets a direct run to Richmond West. For a return to MIA, we suggest leaving a comfortable buffer before check-in, and your driver will recommend a pickup time based on the day and hour you are flying.
Reserve your private transfer to or from Richmond West with a quick message, and we confirm your vehicle, driver, and pickup time. Send your flight details and group size over WhatsApp or email, book at least 24 hours ahead, and we handle the rest — from curbside pickup at MIA to your Richmond West door.
