Ride private to or from MIA and Normandy Boutique Hostel: about 12.1 miles, 25–29 minutes via Northwest 79th Street and SR-934, booked ahead at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. Your own chauffeured SUV, a bilingual driver, and a curbside meet — no surge, no shared van.
Prices are set per vehicle for the one-way trip, agreed up front, with tolls and fuel already included.
For Normandy Boutique Hostel, a pre-booked private transfer beats a taxi line or a rideshare wait — your chauffeured SUV and driver are reserved for your arrival.
From the curb it is a single leg along Northwest 79th Street and SR-934 — about 12.1 miles, luggage loaded, straight to the door.
Every ride is a private vehicle for your party alone — a superior service, not a pooled van or a rideshare pickup.
With the coast close to North Beach, a stay at Normandy Boutique Hostel often starts steps from the sand — easy to unpack and head straight out.
Booking takes a deposit up front, with the balance due on the day of travel.
The area puts you near Bal Harbour Shops, the Surfside beachwalk, with North Beach Bandshell and Haulover Park also within easy reach of North Beach.
Expect roughly 25–29 minutes for the 12.1-mile trip, off-peak to peak.
Off-peak, Northwest 79th Street and SR-934 moves quickly; morning and late-afternoon rush push the drive toward the higher end, which is why the driver watches your flight and adjusts the pickup.

Per vehicle. Your whole group rides for the one flat price shown above — it does not go up with more passengers.
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.

Booking ahead buys predictability an app cannot. The price to Normandy Boutique Hostel is agreed up front and never surges the way an Uber or Lyft fare does at a busy hour, and the car is held for your group rather than assigned at the curb.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
