Private transportation to or from MIA and Alva covers 136.8 miles (220.1 km) in about 145 to 159 minutes door to door, in a private Black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, at a flat rate from $350 per vehicle. The route heads north from Miami International Airport along US-27, and the fare stays locked from the moment you reserve.
Pricing is per vehicle, not per person, so your whole group rides for one flat figure chosen by seat count.
The flat fare covers the private vehicle, the bilingual driver, and every road cost between MIA and Alva, so nothing is added for the distance itself.
Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built into the price. The included pickup is curbside, with the driver tracking your flight and ready when you exit. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, and drivers load and unload your luggage. Small pets are welcome with advance WhatsApp notice and a pet carrier. The first child seat for a child under five is free. Courtesy waiting covers two hours for international flights, one hour for domestic, and fifteen minutes for hotel pickups, with the pickup re-timed at no cost when a flight is delayed or early.
An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on rather than part of the base rate. 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 payment-link charges add a 4% bank fee. Food, drinks, gratuity, and unscheduled stops are not included, though a short pre-arranged stop can be accommodated.
The most direct way is a private point-to-point transfer that leaves Miami International Airport and runs the full 136.8 miles north on US-27 straight to your Alva address. You pick the vehicle by group size: a Black SUV for up to five travelers, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for six to nine, or a larger Sprinter for ten to fourteen. After you land, your driver is already curbside — the pickup follows your live flight time, so there is no app to open and no car to hail. You send your flight number and drop-off address on WhatsApp, we text the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate the day before, and the driver helps load your bags. One vehicle carries only your party the whole way, with tolls and fuel already handled, so the ride to Alva stays quiet and direct from curb to door.
Plan on about 145 minutes off-peak and up to 159 minutes at peak for the 136.8-mile run from MIA to Alva. The gap between the two is ordinary rush-hour density leaving the Miami metro before the road opens up heading north on US-27.
Because US-27 carries most of the distance, the trip time depends far more on when you leave Miami than on the miles themselves. A mid-morning or early-afternoon departure typically lands near the off-peak figure, while a late-afternoon exit through commuter volume pushes toward the peak number. Your driver watches your inbound flight so the clock starts at your real arrival rather than a guessed one, and the flat fare does not change whether the road is clear or slow.
Traffic mainly stretches the first stretch out of the metro; once you are on the open highway the pace steadies. That is why the range sits at roughly a fourteen-minute spread rather than an unpredictable wait — the price stays fixed either way.
The included pickup is curbside at Miami International Airport: the driver follows your flight, then waits at the curb when you exit with your bags. You receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate by text the day before. If you prefer an in-terminal meet with a name sign, that is available as an optional paid add-on.
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 simply costs double the one-way price shown above, booked as one reservation.
A pickup on the Miami side confirms with a 50% deposit, and the remaining 50% may be paid to the driver on trip day, cash accepted at that point. Some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas are asked to pay in full ahead of time; we confirm which applies when you book.
Choose by headcount and luggage. Each option is a private vehicle held for your party alone, with the driver, tolls, and fuel already covered.
Groups above nine travelers move most comfortably in the 10-to-14 Sprinter, which keeps everyone in one vehicle instead of splitting the party. If you are near the edge of a size tier or carrying extra bags, message us on WhatsApp and we confirm the right fit before you book.
Yes. Along with the MIA-to-Alva run, we handle private drop-offs to PortMiami and other destinations from the airport or your Miami-side address. The same flat, per-vehicle pricing and private-vehicle setup apply, with the driver tracking timing so a cruise or connection stays comfortably on schedule.
One private vehicle is reserved for your party alone — no pooling, no detours to collect strangers, and no scheduled route. The rate is flat and locked at booking, so peak-hour demand and traffic never change what you pay.
Every journey runs with a bilingual driver who speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which keeps directions, luggage, and drop-off simple for out-of-town travelers. You book directly by WhatsApp with a real person, not a queue, and adjust details up to the day before. Drivers load and unload your bags themselves, keep the cabin climate-controlled, and carry an onboard hotspot for WiFi on the long run north. Because the fare is per vehicle, a family of five or a group of fourteen each rides for a single agreed price rather than a per-head tally.
Your driver is assigned in advance, texts you the night before with the vehicle and plate, and meets you at the curb ready to go. Bilingual communication, careful luggage handling, and a sealed bottle of water in the vehicle are part of the standard ride, not upsells layered on later.
Every passenger’s fare includes one checked bag plus one carry-on, and the driver loads and unloads them for you. Carrying extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the space or size up to a larger private van, so a full load is rarely a problem on this route.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with no surcharge. Trips scheduled outside that window carry a small added charge by vehicle class.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person, so your entire group rides for the one flat price in the list above. A round trip is simply double the one-way figure, and trips outside daytime hours add only the small night surcharge already noted. Nobody pays a separate per-head fare.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Nothing changes on your end. The driver tracks your inbound flight in real time and re-times the pickup automatically at no extra cost, whether you land late or early. Courtesy waiting covers two hours for an international arrival and one hour for a domestic one, so a delayed bag claim or a slow customs line is already absorbed.
Alva sits at the far northern end of this US-27 run, well away from the pace of downtown Miami. It reads as a calm, low-key area, the kind of quiet, spread-out community travelers reach for a relaxed stay rather than for nightlife or crowds. A private transfer suits that character: you arrive rested, directly at your address, without transfers or waiting. For context, the Alva name turns up around the world — on the Alva skate label and on the ALVA riverside hotel in Shatin — but here it simply names your destination at the quiet end of the drive north from Miami.
Yes. On a long-distance run like this one, a single short comfort stop for a restroom or snack can be arranged along the route — just mention it when you book so the driver plans for it. There is no eating in the vehicle, and only sealed bottled water is carried onboard.
Book at least 24 hours ahead for the smoothest scheduling; under-24-hour requests are still reviewed by hand, though availability is not guaranteed. Send your flight number, party size, and Alva address on WhatsApp, and we lock the vehicle, the flat rate, and the pickup time — then text your driver’s details the day before. Service runs 24/7, year-round.

Reunión familiar en Miami, nuestro grupo, primera vez organizando un transfer así y todo encajó. el baúl entró cuatro maletas grandes más las de mano. Ya guardamos el número para el próximo viaje.
