A private airport transfer to or from MIA and Universal Palms Hotel & Conference Center covers about 33.5 miles in roughly 47–61 minutes by I-95, at a flat rate from $250 per vehicle — a private SUV, a bilingual driver, and a flight-tracked pickup, never a shared ride.
Prices are set per vehicle for the one-way trip, agreed up front, with tolls and fuel already included.
The simplest way from Miami International Airport to Universal Palms Hotel & Conference Center is a private door-to-door transfer, booked ahead so a private SUV is waiting when you land.
From the curb it is a single leg along I-95 — about 33.5 miles, luggage loaded, straight to the door.
We run private transfers only, so your vehicle is reserved for your group and no one else — better service, not a shared shuttle or a surge-priced app car.
The area puts you near Sawgrass Mills, the Plantation Historical Museum, with Tradewinds Park and the Everglades Holiday Park also within easy reach of North Broward.
Payment is straightforward: a small deposit secures the booking and the balance is flexible.
Plan on about 47 to 61 minutes from MIA to Universal Palms Hotel & Conference Center, depending on traffic.
Traffic on I-95 is the only real variable; because the driver tracks the flight, an early or late arrival is handled without a new booking.
West of the coast, this suburban belt centres on the vast Sawgrass Mills outlet mall, the Panthers’ arena in Sunrise, and quiet planned communities.
Pick the vehicle by group and luggage; every option is private and goes straight to Universal Palms Hotel & Conference Center.
Meet-and-greet is standard: the driver is in the terminal area as you arrive, helps with the bags, and walks you to the vehicle.
Nothing changes on your end. We track the flight and move the pickup to your actual landing time, at no extra charge — there is no need to re-book.
Per vehicle. Your whole group rides for the one flat price shown above — it does not go up with more passengers.
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.
Only a small after-hours surcharge on pickups outside daytime hours — the exact amounts are in the night-surcharge section on this page; the base fare stays flat.
Trips that start outside daytime hours carry a small surcharge:
The real difference from an on-demand app is certainty. Your fare to Universal Palms Hotel & Conference Center 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.
If the flight runs late, we re-time the pickup at no charge, where an app would have you request a new car and pay again. One booking, one coordinated pickup, and a total that usually lands well under a peak-hour rideshare fare.

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.
