A private transfer to or from MIA and Burnt Store Marina runs a flat rate from $350 per vehicle, covering the 180.4-mile (290.2 km) drive in about 166 to 181 minutes door to door via I-75. You ride in a private Black SUV or climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, straight from Miami International Airport to your marina address.
The rate is flat and per vehicle for the whole group, locked at booking with no surge for traffic or demand.
The rate covers tolls, SunPass, and fuel, plus onboard WiFi through a mobile hotspot and sealed bottled water. Flight tracking with a curbside pickup is included, along with courtesy waiting — 2 hours for international arrivals, 1 hour for domestic, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups — and the pickup is re-timed free when a flight shifts. Each passenger brings 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size up to a larger van. Small pets are welcome with advance WhatsApp notice, riding in a pet carrier. The first child seat is free for a child under five.
Some extras sit outside the base rate. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on, separate from the included curbside pickup. Each child seat beyond the first free one carries an added fee, confirmed at booking. If waiting runs past the courtesy window, extra time is billed in 30-minute blocks. Card or payment-link transactions add a 4% bank fee. Gratuity is optional and always appreciated, and food, drinks, and unscheduled stops are not part of the fare, though a short nearby stop arranged in advance can usually be accommodated.
Burnt Store Marina is a waterfront boating community on the southwest Florida coast, set along the sheltered edge of the Charlotte Harbor estuary. The pace is relaxed and residential, built around one of the region’s larger deep-water marinas, with sailboats and powerboats lining the basins and a horizon of open water and mangrove shoreline. Golf, tennis, dining, and slow evening walks along the docks define the daily rhythm here, and the surrounding area leans toward calm, nature-facing recreation rather than nightlife. It draws boaters, seasonal residents, and visitors who want a quiet harbor base within reach of Gulf-coast fishing and paddling. You can learn about the community at the Burnt Store Marina neighborhood site or explore amenities through the local golf and country club.
Lodging clusters around the marina district itself and the broader Punta Gorda–Charlotte Harbor area to the north, a stretch of low-rise waterfront neighborhoods and boating enclaves. We drop you at the exact address you provide — a residence, a rental, a slip office, or a community gate — so your booking simply lists your destination and the driver delivers you straight to it.
The area centers on the water: boating, chartered fishing, kayaking through mangrove channels, and wildlife-rich estuary shoreline. On land, golf and racquet sports anchor the community, with waterside dining looking out over the basins. The mood is unhurried and outdoors-oriented, a Gulf-coast counterpoint to the fast pace of Miami you just left behind.
The door-to-door ride takes about 166 to 181 minutes, off-peak to peak. Most of the route follows I-75 across the Everglades corridor and up the southwest Florida coast, so the biggest variable is the volume leaving the Miami metro rather than the open highway stretch. Depart in the quieter mid-morning or early-afternoon window and the trip trends toward the lower end of that range; leave during the heaviest commuting waves and it stretches closer to 181 minutes. Because the driver watches your inbound flight in real time, an early or late landing simply shifts the pickup — the clock on your ride starts when you are actually in the vehicle. The distance itself is fixed at 180.4 miles, a long-haul run where the driver can arrange one short comfort stop for a restroom or snack if your group wants it on the way.
Daytime hours run 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with no added charge. Pickups scheduled outside that window carry a modest surcharge that depends on the vehicle.
These are the questions travelers ask most about the MIA to Burnt Store Marina run — each answered directly, with the real numbers already on this page.
Your driver meets you curbside at Miami International Airport, ready at the pickup lane when you exit the terminal. The night before, you receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate by text, plus curbside instructions. An in-terminal greeter with a name sign is available as an optional paid add-on.
Your driver tracks your inbound flight in real time and re-times the pickup at no extra cost if you land late or early. Courtesy waiting covers 2 hours for international flights and 1 hour for domestic. Only after that window does extra time bill in 30-minute blocks, so a normal delay costs you nothing.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person — your entire group rides for the single flat price shown in the prices list above. Five people in the Black SUV pay the same as one. Choose the tier that fits your headcount and bags, and the fare stays locked from booking with no surge.
A private shuttle here means a private Sprinter van for your group only, never a shared or pooled ride. The van tiers cover 6 to 9 and 10 to 14 passengers at the flat per-vehicle rates listed in the prices section above. One reservation books the whole vehicle for the door-to-door trip.
Cancel 24 or more hours before pickup and you 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, which handles most schedule changes without a cancellation.
You reach your driver directly by WhatsApp. The day before the trip you get the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate by text, so coordination at the curb is quick. Message the same number to add a stop, flag extra bags, or note a small pet before the trip.
This page covers the Miami International Airport (MIA) run specifically. We provide private point-to-point pickups at MIA and PortMiami, and drop-offs to other airports, ports, and cities are available too. For the marina, MIA is the main long-haul southwest Florida crossing we operate along I-75.
Each passenger includes 1 checked bag plus 1 carry-on, and the driver loads and unloads everything at both ends. Traveling with extra or oversized bags is fine — message us on WhatsApp in advance and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van so nothing gets left behind.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, with card and link payments carrying a 4% bank fee. Full cash at pickup is not accepted. A round trip is simply double the one-way price for the same vehicle.
Your vehicle is reserved for your group alone — never pooled, never a shared ride with strangers. The fare is flat and set the moment you book, so a long holiday weekend or a rainy rush hour changes nothing about what you pay. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, and reaches you directly by WhatsApp before and during the trip. Flight tracking is built in: the driver follows your inbound flight and is ready curbside when you step out, and the pickup is re-timed at no cost if the flight is delayed or lands early. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel all sit inside the rate, and the driver handles loading and unloading your luggage at both ends. The day before your trip you receive the driver’s name, the vehicle make, and the license plate, along with clear curbside pickup instructions.
Three private vehicle tiers cover this route, all reserved for your party alone.
A private point-to-point transfer is the direct way to cross from Miami International Airport to the Charlotte Harbor coast. You book one vehicle for your group, and the driver meets you curbside when you exit the terminal, ready with your name texted the day before. Smaller parties of up to five take the Black SUV; groups of six to nine ride a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, and larger parties of ten to fourteen size up to the bigger Sprinter. The driver loads and unloads your bags, then heads onto I-75 for the southwest crossing to your gate at the marina. Booking is easy: reserve 24 or more hours ahead by message so the vehicle and driver are assigned, though an under-24-hour request is still reviewed manually when time is short. One reservation covers the whole door-to-door trip, from the airport curb to your final address.
Reserve your private ride to or from MIA and Burnt Store Marina 24 or more hours ahead so your vehicle and bilingual driver are assigned. Send your flight details, group size, and destination address, and we confirm the vehicle tier and lock your flat rate. Available 24/7, year-round, with 5-plus years in operation.
