A private transfer to or from MIA and Westwood Lakes covers 12.8 miles (20.6 km) in about 20–33 minutes by Black SUV or private van, at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle. The drive runs west on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) toll road, with a bilingual driver who tracks your flight and meets you curbside when you exit.
The fare is per vehicle for the whole group, locked at booking with no surge for traffic or demand.
The price is per vehicle, not per person. Two riders or five riders in the SUV pay the one rate shown above, and the same holds for the vans. You reserve the whole vehicle, so the fare never multiplies by headcount — book the tier that fits your group and split it however you like.
The ride runs about 20 minutes off-peak and up to 33 minutes at the busiest hours. The 12.8-mile route leaves the airport and moves west on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) toll road before dropping into the residential streets of Westwood Lakes. Off-peak — early mornings, late evenings, and quiet midday windows — traffic is light and the trip sits near the 20-minute mark. During weekday rush and heavy event days, congestion on the expressway can add roughly a dozen minutes, pushing the door-to-door time toward 33. Because your fare is fixed at booking, a slower run in traffic never costs you more than the quoted rate. Your driver also monitors your flight, so an early landing or a delay simply shifts the pickup to match your real arrival rather than a scheduled clock. For tight onward plans, tell us at booking and we build in buffer.
Your vehicle is reserved for your group alone — no shared ride, no extra stops for other passengers, no rerouting. The rate is flat and locked the moment you book, so peak traffic and high demand never change what you pay. Every driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths arrival for international travelers. Flight tracking is built in: the driver watches your inbound flight in real time and re-times the pickup at no cost if you land early or late. You can reach your driver directly by WhatsApp before and on the day of the trip, so there is never a guessing game about where the car is. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel already sit inside the quoted price, and luggage is handled for you at both ends. It is a coordinated, private service built around one group and one confirmed pickup.
Yes. We text your driver’s name, vehicle, and plate the day before, and you can reach the driver directly by WhatsApp for anything on trip day — a changed terminal, a slower bag claim, or where exactly to meet. That direct line means no dispatcher relay and no wondering whether your car is on the way.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link; card and link payments carry a 4% bank fee, and full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A round trip simply costs double the one-way price. For a pickup on the Miami side — this route’s main direction — you confirm the booking with a 50% deposit and pay the remaining 50% to the driver on trip day, cash accepted at that point. Some reverse-direction pickups from farther-out areas require full payment in advance, which we confirm when you book. Once your deposit is in, the fare is locked and the vehicle is held for your group. We text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate the day before with curbside instructions, so trip-day payment is the only remaining step.
Cancellations made 24 or more hours before pickup receive a full refund. Within 24 hours of pickup the booking is non-refundable. You can also move a booked pickup time with 24 or more hours notice, subject to availability. Book at least 24 hours ahead; under-24-hour requests are reviewed manually, though availability is not guaranteed.
Three private tiers cover every party size, and each vehicle is reserved for your group alone. Choose by headcount and luggage, and message us in advance if bags run large so we confirm the right fit.
The most direct way is a private door-to-door transfer that leaves MIA and heads west on the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) toll road straight into the neighborhood. You pick the vehicle that fits your party: a Black SUV for up to five travelers, a Sprinter van for six to nine, or a larger van for ten to fourteen. After you clear customs and baggage, your driver is already positioned at the curb — no app to open, no line to join, no waiting for a car to route to you. Reserve at least 24 hours ahead through WhatsApp or email; the day before your trip we text the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate along with exact curbside pickup instructions. Drivers help load and unload every bag. Because the fare is set when you book, one road, one vehicle, and one confirmed pickup carry your group the full 12.8 miles.
Your driver meets you curbside as you exit, tracking your inbound flight so the pickup matches your real landing time. The day before, we text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and plate with exact curbside instructions. Prefer an in-terminal greeter with a name sign? That is an optional paid add-on you can request when booking.
Nothing changes for you. The driver watches your flight in real time and re-times the pickup at no extra cost, whether you land early or late. Courtesy waiting covers two hours for international arrivals and one hour for domestic, so a slow customs line or delayed bag claim stays comfortably inside the included window.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips that fall outside that window carry a small addition, applied by vehicle type.
The flat rate already covers the essentials of the trip. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all inside the price — nothing is added on the road. A bilingual driver handles the drive and loads and unloads your luggage at both ends. Flight tracking is included, and the standard pickup is curbside, with the driver ready at the curb as you exit. Onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot. Your luggage allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger; for extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp ahead of time and we confirm space or size you up to a larger van. Courtesy waiting is built in: two hours for international flights, one hour for domestic, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups — and the pickup is re-timed free when a flight is delayed or lands early. The first child seat for a child under five is free.
A few items sit outside the base rate. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional 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. Small pets ride with advance WhatsApp notice inside a pet carrier. Food, drinks, and driver gratuity are not included; eating in the vehicle is not permitted, and only sealed bottled water is allowed.
A private shuttle here means one of our reserved Sprinter vans, not a shared or pooled ride. The cost is the flat per-vehicle van rate shown in the pricing section above — one price for the whole group of six to nine or ten to fourteen, not a per-person charge. A round trip is double the one-way, and a small surcharge applies outside 7 AM–9 PM.
Westwood Lakes is a quiet, family-oriented residential neighborhood in unincorporated west Miami-Dade, named for the small lakes woven through its blocks of single-family homes. It is a calm, suburban pocket away from the tourist bustle — tree-lined streets, community green space, and easy access to the highway corridors that connect it to greater Miami. You will find local parks, everyday shopping plazas, and neighborhood services rather than beachfront or nightlife, which makes it a comfortable base for travelers visiting family, relocating, or working nearby. The surrounding area blends residential streets with commercial stretches along the main roads, so groceries, restaurants, and errands stay close. For community details see the Westwood Lakes neighborhood association, and for local green space look to the area’s Westwood Lakes park page.
Westwood Lakes itself is residential, so most visitors stay with family or in nearby areas with more lodging, such as the Doral and Sweetwater corridors to the west or the airport district to the east. We transfer you to any address you give us — a private home, a rental, or a hotel in a neighboring area — for the same flat per-vehicle rate.
The neighborhood leans toward everyday life rather than attractions: local parks for walking and family time, community sports fields, and shopping plazas along the main roads. Greater Miami’s beaches, downtown, and cultural districts sit a straightforward drive away for day trips. Because your driver is private, you can also arrange a return or onward transfer to those destinations when you plan your booking.
Yes. The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and the SUV and vans are chosen to hold that for a full group. If you are carrying extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp before the trip — we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van. Drivers load and unload everything for you.
This route serves Miami International Airport (MIA). We also arrange private drop-offs from Westwood Lakes to PortMiami and onward to other South Florida airports and cities. Airport pickups, however, are handled only from MIA or PortMiami — the two hubs our drivers stage from — so plan a return by giving us the destination address when you book.
Reserve your MIA to Westwood Lakes transfer at least 24 hours ahead and lock the flat per-vehicle rate for your group. Send us your flight number, arrival date, passenger count, and drop-off address by WhatsApp or email, and we confirm the vehicle and driver. Available 24/7, year-round, with 5-plus years in operation.
