A private transfer to or from MIA and Verandah covers 157 miles (252.7 km) in about 147 to 162 minutes, riding in a black SUV or climate-controlled private van at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle. Your driver follows I-75 north for most of the way, tracks your flight, and waits curbside when you land.
One flat price covers the whole vehicle and your group, locked at booking with no surge for traffic or demand.
You reserve a private vehicle for your group alone — never a shared or pooled ride — at a flat rate locked at booking, so the fare on the screen is the fare you pay. A bilingual driver (English plus Spanish or Portuguese) handles the route, tracks your inbound flight, and loads and unloads your luggage. Booking and questions go straight to us on WhatsApp, not through an app queue, so a real person confirms your vehicle, your pickup time, and any special request before the trip. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are already inside the rate, and the day before travel you receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate number. On a 157-mile run, that coordination is the difference between a planned ride and a scramble at the curb — you know exactly who is meeting you and what it costs before you leave home.
Real questions travelers ask about the run to or from Verandah, answered with the actual numbers.
Nothing changes and you pay no extra. The driver tracks your inbound flight in real time and re-times the curbside pickup automatically if you land late or early. Courtesy waiting runs two hours for international arrivals and one hour for domestic, so there is a wide cushion before any extra-time billing begins.
The included pickup is curbside — the driver is ready at the curb as you exit the terminal, having already tracked your flight. You receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate the day before, plus clear pickup instructions. An in-terminal meet with a name sign is available as an optional paid add-on.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the one flat price listed above, whether that is one traveler or a full van. Nothing is added for extra passengers up to the vehicle’s capacity, and no surge applies for traffic or time of day.
The standard allowance is 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, and the driver helps load and unload. If your group has extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van, so it is handled before the trip.
The private van (the vehicle behind a “shuttle” search) is priced per vehicle at the flat rate in the list above — never per seat, because it is a private ride for your group only, not a shared service. A round trip is double the one-way, and daytime pickups carry no surcharge.
Yes. A round trip is arranged as one booking and costs double the one-way price. Give us both the arrival flight and the return date and time, and the same private vehicle class covers each leg. The 50% deposit and 50%-to-driver split applies for the Miami-side pickup direction.
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 ride runs about 147 minutes off-peak and up to 162 minutes when traffic is heavy, covering 157 miles (252.7 km) via I-75 north. The peak-versus-off-peak gap is roughly fifteen minutes, driven mostly by the pace leaving the Miami metro before the highway opens up. Because this is a long-distance run, one short comfort stop for a restroom or a snack can be arranged on route if your group wants it — just let the driver know. The flat rate holds no matter how the traffic moves, so a slower afternoon never changes what you pay. For inbound arrivals, the driver watches your flight in real time and adjusts the pickup automatically if you land early or late, so the clock never works against you.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with no surcharge. A trip that falls outside that window adds a small surcharge:
Three private vehicle tiers cover the route, and each is reserved for your group only.
Verandah sits on Florida’s Gulf-Coast side, the direction I-75 carries you after it leaves the Miami metro. It reads as a calm, resort-style setting — landscaped grounds, an easygoing pace, and the warm southwest-Florida character that draws visitors looking to slow down rather than rush. Your driver delivers you directly to the address you provide, helps unload the luggage, and confirms details for any return trip before leaving.
Verandah carries a polished, leisure-first feel — the sort of destination built around comfort, relaxed style, and outdoor living. For a sense of that aesthetic, the Verandah conscious resort-wear studio and Veranda’s home-and-design guide both capture the refined, laid-back mood the name evokes.
The surrounding Gulf-Coast area leans toward outdoor and leisure pursuits — open green spaces, waterway views, and the unhurried atmosphere that defines this part of Florida. It suits travelers arriving for a golf weekend, a family retreat, or a quiet stretch away from the city. Your driver can drop you at the exact door you specify.
We drop you at the specific address you provide, whether that is a residence, a rental, or lodging within the wider Gulf-Coast area. We do not recommend individual properties, but the surrounding communities offer the calm, resort-style settings the region is known for. Give us the address and the driver takes you straight there.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link; card and link payments carry a 4% bank fee. Full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is simply double the one-way price. For a pickup on the Miami side, the booking confirms with a 50% deposit and the remaining 50% may be paid to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas are paid in full in advance — we confirm which applies to your booking. Book at least 24 hours ahead; an under-24-hour request is still reviewed manually, though availability is not guaranteed. Cancellations made 24 or more hours before pickup receive a full refund; within 24 hours the booking is non-refundable.
The simplest way is a private point-to-point transfer reserved for your group, with a bilingual driver who meets you curbside at MIA and drives you straight through to Verandah. You select the vehicle by group size: a black SUV for up to five passengers and their bags, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to nine, or a larger Sprinter van for ten to fourteen. Once you land, there is no line to join and no car to request — the driver already has your flight details and pulls to the curb when you exit the terminal. Booking is direct: message us on WhatsApp with your flight, date, group size, and the Verandah address, and we confirm the vehicle. The day before your trip you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate, plus curbside pickup instructions so the meeting point is clear before you arrive.
The flat rate covers the private vehicle, a bilingual driver, and all tolls, SunPass, and fuel — nothing on the road is billed separately. Flight tracking is included, with a curbside pickup where the driver is ready at the curb as you exit. Courtesy waiting comes standard: two hours for international arrivals, one hour for domestic, and fifteen minutes for hotel pickups, and the pickup is re-timed at no cost when a flight is delayed or lands early. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot. Luggage is 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on per passenger, and the driver helps load and unload. Not included: food or drinks, driver gratuity (optional, always appreciated), and unscheduled stops.
An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on, separate from the standard curbside pickup. After the courtesy waiting window, extra time is billed in 30-minute blocks. Extra or oversized bags may mean sizing up to a larger van — message us in advance and we confirm the space.
Small pets ride with advance WhatsApp notice, inside a pet carrier. For children, the first child seat is free for a child under five, and each additional seat carries an extra fee confirmed at booking. Tell us the ages and the number of seats when you reserve so the right setup is ready.
Send your flight number, travel date, group size, and the Verandah address on WhatsApp, and we confirm your vehicle and pickup time. Book at least 24 hours ahead for the smoothest arrangement; we operate 24/7, year-round, with more than five years on the road.
