A private transfer to or from MIA and North Merritt Island covers 209.6 miles (337.4 km) in about 206 to 217 minutes door to door, riding in a black SUV or private van at a flat rate from $550 per vehicle. Your bilingual driver runs the route north on Florida’s Turnpike and I-95, tracking your flight for a curbside pickup at Miami International Airport (MIA).
Each fare below is the full flat price per vehicle for the private transfer, locked the moment you book — not a per-person charge.
Most trips carry no extra charge beyond the flat fare, but a few optional items can be added. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on, separate from the standard curbside pickup. Additional child seats beyond the first free one carry a small fee. If you need waiting past the included courtesy window, that extra time is billed in 30-minute blocks. Gratuity for the driver is optional and always appreciated. Oversized or extra bags are welcome — just message us in advance so we confirm the space or move you to a larger private van. Food, beverages, and unscheduled stops are not part of the base rate, though a short nearby stop arranged ahead can usually be accommodated.
The best way to cover the 209.6 miles to North Merritt Island is a private door-to-door transfer in a vehicle reserved for your group alone. Choose a black SUV for up to 5 travelers, a private Sprinter van for 6 to 9, or a larger private van for 10 to 14. After you land, the driver meets you curbside at MIA, helps load every bag, and heads straight north — no rideshare queue and no second stop for other passengers along the way. You ride point to point to the exact address you give. Booking takes a message on WhatsApp or a quick online request, ideally 24 hours or more ahead: you send the flight number and drop-off address, we confirm the vehicle and driver, and the fare is set right then.
Send your flight number, pickup date and time, passenger count, and the North Merritt Island address by WhatsApp or the online form, at least 24 hours ahead. We confirm the vehicle and lock the fare. Under-24-hour requests are still reviewed manually, though availability is not guaranteed.
Nothing extra to pay. Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and re-times the curbside pickup automatically when you land early or late. Courtesy waiting is included — 2 hours for international arrivals, 1 hour for domestic, and 15 minutes for hotel pickups — so a normal delay is already covered.
Daytime pickups between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM carry no surcharge. Trips scheduled outside that window add a small amount to the flat fare, set by vehicle type:
North Merritt Island is a quiet, largely residential stretch at the north end of Merritt Island in Brevard County, on Florida’s Space Coast. The area leans green and low-key — waterfront lots along the Indian River lagoon, citrus land, boat ramps, and the birdlife and manatees the region is loved for. It sits within the Kennedy Space Center corridor, so many travelers here are visiting for a launch, a cruise, or family near the water rather than a downtown. You can read the county’s own outline of the neighborhood in the North Merritt Island special district overview, and see wider area plans through the Merritt Island redevelopment agency.
North Merritt Island itself is mostly residential, so many visitors base themselves across the wider Merritt Island and coastal Cocoa Beach areas, or nearer the Space Center corridor. We drop you at any address you choose — a private home, a rental, or a lodging area — for the one flat fare.
Payment runs through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link; full cash payment at pickup is not accepted. A round trip simply costs double the one-way fare shown above. For a pickup on the Miami side, you confirm the booking with a 50% deposit and pay the remaining 50% to the driver on the day, cash included. Some reverse-direction pickups from farther areas are asked to pay in full ahead of time. Card or secure-link payments add a 4% bank fee, while the two app transfers do not. You lock the fare when you book, so nothing about the amount shifts between the deposit and the trip.
For a Miami-side pickup, a 50% deposit confirms the reservation and the other 50% goes to the driver on trip day, cash accepted. Pickups starting from farther areas in the reverse direction may be asked for full payment in advance. Either way, the fare itself never changes after booking.
The drive from MIA to North Merritt Island runs about 206 minutes off-peak and up to 217 minutes at peak, covering 209.6 miles (337.4 km). The route climbs north out of Miami on Florida’s Turnpike, then joins I-95 up the coast toward Brevard County. Off-peak departures — early morning or mid-day — sit near the lower end of that window. Afternoon rush around the metro areas and any Space Coast event traffic push toward the upper end. Because the fare is fixed per vehicle, a slower run never costs more. On a trip this long, one short comfort stop for a restroom or a snack can be arranged on route without changing the flat price.
Early-morning and mid-day departures usually hit the lower end of the window, near 206 minutes, because the metro highways are clearer. Late-afternoon pickups face rush-hour traffic leaving Miami and can approach 217 minutes. Whatever the clock does, your per-vehicle fare stays the same.
Three private vehicle classes cover this route, each reserved for your party alone. Lead with the black SUV or SUV XL for up to 5 passengers with luggage — the usual pick for couples, families, and small groups. Step up to a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van for 6 to 9 passengers when the group grows or the bags pile up. For the largest parties, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van seats 10 to 14 with room for luggage. Every class is private point to point from MIA — no shared seating and no pooling with other travelers. Not sure which fits? Send your headcount and bag count on WhatsApp and we match the right vehicle to your group and the North Merritt Island address.
The standard pickup is curbside at Miami International Airport: your driver watches the flight, positions the vehicle, and is waiting at the curb when you walk out with your bags. The day before, you receive the driver’s name, vehicle make, and license plate by text, with clear curbside instructions. An in-terminal meet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on.
The flat rate covers the whole private ride from MIA to the North Merritt Island address, with no add-on for distance or demand. A bilingual driver meets you curbside, tracks your flight in real time, and helps load and unload every bag. Onboard you get WiFi through a mobile hotspot and sealed bottled water. Your standard luggage allowance is one checked bag and one carry-on per passenger. Curbside pickup, flight tracking, and the vehicle reserved for your group are all part of the price you lock at booking — nothing on that list is billed again on the day. Only sealed bottled water is provided, and eating in the vehicle is not permitted.
Yes. Every toll on Florida’s Turnpike and I-95, the SunPass charges, and all fuel for the trip are already inside the flat fare. You never hand the driver money at a toll booth or a gas stop, and the long distance to Brevard County adds no fuel line to your bill.
Small pets ride with advance notice on WhatsApp and must travel in a pet carrier. For children, the first seat for a child under 5 is free; each additional child seat carries a small extra fee confirmed when you book. Tell us the ages so the right seats are ready at pickup.
Yes. The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and the driver loads and unloads for you. Have extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp before the trip and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van — it is not a hard cap.
Per vehicle, never per person. The flat fare listed above covers your entire group in one private SUV or van, whether that is two travelers or the vehicle’s full seat count. A round trip is simply double the one-way rate. Nothing is added for extra passengers up to the vehicle’s capacity.
Yes — as a private shuttle, meaning the van is reserved only for your group, not a shared or scheduled service. A private Sprinter van seats 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 passengers for the one flat per-vehicle price shown above. There is no pooling with other travelers at any point.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

A private ride to North Merritt Island puts your group alone in the vehicle with a driver who speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese. The fare is locked the moment you book, so heavy demand and slow traffic never move the price. Your driver tracks the inbound flight and is already at the curb when you walk out, then loads and unloads the luggage for you. There is no shared seating and no pooling with strangers — the SUV or private van carries only your party. You reach the driver directly on WhatsApp before and during the trip, so a change of plan is a quick message rather than a support ticket. The operator has run this kind of transfer for more than five years and is available 24/7, all year.
Yes. Every booking is private point to point. The black SUV or private Sprinter van carries only your party from MIA to the North Merritt Island address you give — no other passengers are added, and no stops are made to pick up or drop off anyone else on route.
