A private airport transfer to or from MIA and The Big Coconut Guesthouse covers about 31.5 miles in roughly 47–61 minutes by I-95, at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle — a chauffeured SUV, a bilingual driver, and a flight-tracked pickup, never a shared ride.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person, and it is locked when you book — the whole group rides for one flat price.
For The Big Coconut Guesthouse, a pre-booked private transfer beats a taxi line or a rideshare wait — your chauffeured SUV and driver are reserved for your arrival.
The driver takes I-95 while you settle in; the 31.5-mile run passes without a transfer or a stop you did not ask for.
Fort Lauderdale wraps a famous beachfront promenade, the Las Olas Boulevard dining and gallery strip, the New River waterways, and Port Everglades’ cruise terminals.
For the stay itself, see The Big Coconut Guesthouse’s official page; we handle the ride there.
For work trips based at The Big Coconut Guesthouse, a reserved car and a locked fare take the guesswork out of getting from the terminal to check-in on time.
With the coast close to Fort Lauderdale, a stay at The Big Coconut Guesthouse often starts steps from the sand — easy to unpack and head straight out.
We run private transfers only, so your vehicle is reserved for your group and no one else — a higher level of service, not a shared shuttle or a surge-priced app car.
Once you have settled in, the Riverwalk and Port Everglades are among the closest landmarks, with the Bonnet House and Hugh Taylor Birch State Park also within easy reach of Fort Lauderdale.
Booking takes a deposit up front, with the balance due on the day of travel.
Expect roughly 47–61 minutes for the 31.5-mile trip, off-peak to peak.
Rush-hour on I-95 adds the extra minutes, so the pickup is timed to your actual landing rather than a fixed slot — a delayed flight simply moves the whole pickup.
Plan on about 47 to 61 minutes door to door, depending on traffic. Off-peak is quicker; rush hour is the slower end.
Figure one checked bag plus a carry-on per passenger in the SUV; the vans hold more. Message us in advance for oversized or extra bags and we confirm the right vehicle.
It is the flat per-vehicle rate listed above — a private van, not a shared shuttle. A round trip is simply double the one-way price.
Yes. A return is booked the same way and priced at double the one-way fare, with the return pickup arranged for your date and time.
For very early or late departures, a small after-hours surcharge applies:
The real difference from an on-demand app is certainty. Your fare to The Big Coconut Guesthouse is locked when you book, so there is no surge multiplier waiting after a long flight — an Uber or Lyft ride can climb one-and-a-half to four times its base at peak, while ours does not move.
Because the pickup follows your actual landing, an early or late flight costs you nothing extra — no re-booking, no fresh surge. It is a steadier, more coordinated arrival than an app can offer, usually at a lower real cost too.

We recommend booking a minimum of 24 hours before your trip. During holiday periods and packed weekends, the earlier you reserve, the more likely we’ll have a vehicle open for you.
Yes indeed — guests from any country are welcome to reserve. Overseas payments are no problem, and we stay in touch with you by WhatsApp and email throughout.
Not really — every trip has to be set up in advance. Try to give us four hours’ notice or more, because same-day slots can’t be guaranteed.
Yes. Putting down a deposit holds your spot: pay 50% on trips under $199 USD, or 30% once the fare reaches $200 USD and above.
You can’t cover the whole fare that way — first lock in your car with a 50% deposit through our payment link or Zelle, and then pay the remaining balance in cash when the driver shows up.
Far from it — aside from airports, we also pick up at hotels, ports, train stations, restaurants, and private homes.
We run SUV XLs suited to smaller groups, vans with 12 and 14 seats, and large buses holding 40 to 54 passengers for big occasions.
Absolutely — whether it’s a wedding, a corporate conference, a VIP gathering, or any other special event, we’ve got it covered. Contact us for a custom quote.
A number of our cars are equipped with Wi-Fi and USB charging. Let us know in advance that you’ll need these, and we’ll match you with the right vehicle.
No — all of our transfers are private. The car is reserved solely for you and your party, so you’ll never sit with other passengers.
Relax — we monitor your flight in real time and adjust the pickup accordingly, with no extra charge.
Simply share the updated information as soon as possible, and we’ll revise your reservation while keeping an eye on the new flight.
By default we do curbside pickup. Send us a text with your exit gate and your driver will be there in just a few minutes — faster than the traditional sign-holding wait.
Would you rather have a driver holding a name sign inside the terminal? That option is available for US$ 20.
One day before your trip, you’ll receive a message from us listing the driver’s name, the car model, and the plate number, plus complete instructions for the curbside meeting point.
Don’t panic — the instant your plane touches down, we’ll send you a text. Should you not reply soon, your driver will make their way to the international arrivals hall. Just stay put there and we’ll come to you; no one is ever abandoned.
Domestic flights: up to 60 minutes after you land
International flights: 120 minutes of complimentary waiting
Hotel pickups: a 15-minute grace period
Port pickups: up to 60 minutes past the scheduled time
This is an unusual situation, because two hours of free waiting are built in already. Remaining in the airport beyond that point may be treated as a no-show. Extra waiting can be purchased — US$ 30 per additional 30-minute block, paid directly to the driver in cash.
Definitely — your driver is happy to help you with your bags.
Each person is allowed one large suitcase along with a single carry-on as standard. Planning to bring extras — additional bags, musical instruments, mobility equipment, or strollers? Tell us ahead of time so we can get ready; there may be an additional fee.
Yes — we happily accept small pets provided they remain in a secure carrier. Do let us know beforehand.
For children under five, one child car seat comes at no charge. Want more than one? Ask for it while booking; every extra seat is US$ 15.
Please refrain from eating on board. The sole beverage permitted is water in a sealed bottle.
Spontaneous stops aren’t covered by the standard fare, though a short, nearby one set up beforehand can be included. The additional time might carry a small charge.
Yes, of course. Give us a minimum of 24 hours’ notice and, if space allows, we’ll shift your pickup to a new time.
What we quote is precisely what you’ll be charged. A gratuity for the driver is completely optional, though always welcome.
El chat de reserva tardó en responder, pero volvería a reservar

Llegamos tarde y agotados, primer viaje solo en mucho tiempo, tercera vez con ellos y la misma calidad. el wifi funcionó, yo se entretuvieron en el camino. Siguió el vuelo y ajustó el horario.
Booked it last minute and no issues. we were nervous about the airport, this took the worry off.
Had to wait a few extra minutes at the curb
