If you are looking for the utmost comfort and peace of mind to get from Miami International Airport (MIA) to your accommodation, opting for a private or shared transfer service is one of the most effective solutions. Unlike taxis or rideshare services, a pre-booked transfer guarantees you a fixed price and a driver waiting for you upon your arrival, eliminating the stress of negotiation and uncertainty.
Quick Questions about Transfers
- What is the main advantage? The peace of mind. A driver waits for you with a sign with your name, the price is already paid, and you don't have to deal with the chaos of the taxi or Uber/Lyft pickup areas.
- Is it more expensive than a taxi or Uber? Not necessarily. For groups or families, a private minibus can be even cheaper than two taxis. Plus, the price is fixed, with no surprises due to traffic or long routes.
- What happens if my flight is delayed? The drivers monitor your flight number and adjust the pickup time. They generally wait up to an hour after landing at no extra cost.
- Is it a good option for families? Absolutely. You can book vehicles of the right size for your entire group and luggage, and often request child safety seats, something that taxis and Ubers do not usually offer.
- How far in advance should I book? A minimum of 24 hours is recommended to ensure availability, especially if you need a large vehicle or are traveling during high season.
Transfer for groups, families, or individuals
The best option is to book your transfer online and in advance from or to the airport. This way, a driver will be waiting for you, and you won't have to negotiate prices with taxis or transfer companies. You can book a car for 3 people for USD 74.00 (total price per vehicle). There are also vehicles for 4 (USD 80.00) and 6 passengers (USD 82.00) and minibuses for 11 (USD 167.23) and 14 people (USD 193.54).
*Rates are estimates and may vary. To find out the exact price, go to the booking form.
The reservation must be made at least 24 hours in advance. The pickup time you should indicate is the scheduled arrival time of the flight. At the airport, the driver will wait for you with a sign with your name as soon as you exit the baggage claim area and enter the public area. The driver will normally wait for one hour. If for any reason you are delayed, you should contact the phone number on the reservation. In this case, surcharges may apply.
If you are at a hotel or apartment, the driver will be waiting for you outside the building. If parking is available, they may wait in the reception. In that case, you should indicate when you want to be picked up. The pickup time you should indicate is not the flight departure time, but the time you actually need to arrive at the airport with sufficient advance.
In shared transfers, the schedules may be modified by the provider for their planning. In this case, someone should contact you to confirm the rescheduled time.
Key Points to Keep in Mind
- Reliability depends on the provider: While established services like Civitatis usually have good reviews, travelers warn about local operators (subcontracted by large platforms) who sometimes fail, with drivers who do not show up or arrive late.
- Read reviews of the local operator: If you book through a large platform, try to find out who the final service provider is and look for specific reviews about them in Miami.
- Have the emergency contact number handy: If your driver does not show up, it is crucial that you have the local phone number provided in the reservation to resolve the situation quickly. Do not rely solely on email.
- Communicate any delays (not related to the flight): If you are delayed in immigration or baggage claim, try to inform the provider. Although they monitor the flight, they do not know what happens once you land.
