The 2026 G20 Leaders' Summit takes place in Miami on December 14 and 15, 2026, under the United States presidency, and the President has named Trump National Doral Miami as the summit location. The official G20 calendar also lists the fourth Sherpa meeting in Miami from December 10 to 12, so delegation staff, advisers, business delegations and media arrive across the whole week, not just on the two summit days.
Elly8.net books the ground transport around all of that: tracked airport pickups at MIA, Fort Lauderdale and Opa-locka, business SUVs and First Class sedans by the hour, and Sprinters for teams moving between hotels, briefing rooms and the venue. Every price is fixed and all-in, and the desk works 24/7 through the week. Elly8.net is a car service, not a security company: official delegations travel inside the host government's security arrangements, and our role is the support fleet around them.
What does the G20 Miami summit mean for ground transport?
Expect security perimeters around Trump National Doral, closures for official motorcades between Miami International Airport, the hotels and Doral, and heavy demand for SUVs all week. Book cars early, keep them on hourly standby rather than ordering on demand, and use the drop-off points the organisers give accredited guests.
A summit of heads of state and government changes the way a city moves. Official motorcades take priority, security zones are set by federal and local authorities and usually published close to the date, and the streets nearest the venue may be open only to credentialed vehicles. Rideshare drivers cannot enter a perimeter, and an app request placed from inside one can take a long time to reach you.
The practical answer is a pre-booked chauffeur who already knows the plan for that day: where accredited guests are dropped, which checkpoint the car may approach, and where it can wait. Send the desk the accreditation instructions you receive and the chauffeur works to them exactly.
The geography: Doral, the airport and the hotels
Doral sits just west of Miami International Airport, which puts the summit unusually close to the main runway. By road, Trump National Doral Miami at 4400 NW 87th Avenue is about 4.4 miles (7 km) from MIA, roughly 12 minutes on a clear road. That proximity helps on arrival day and becomes a constraint when motorcades are moving, because the airport, the expressways west of it and the venue share the same corridors.
Most visitors stay further east, in Brickell, downtown Miami and Miami Beach. Distances to the venue on a clear road:
| From | To Trump National Doral | Clear-road time | Elly8.net fixed fare on the price list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miami International (MIA) | about 4.4 mi (7 km) | about 12 min | MIA to Miami Beach from US$180 |
| Brickell and downtown Miami | about 13 mi (21 km) | about 23 min | by the hour from US$100 an hour |
| Miami Beach | about 15 mi (24 km) | about 28 min | by the hour from US$100 an hour |
| Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF) | about 12 mi (20 km) | about 22 min | OPF to Miami Beach from US$195 |
| Fort Lauderdale (FLL) | about 28 mi (46 km) | about 42 min | FLL to Miami Beach from US$255 |
Clear-road times are a floor, not a forecast. On summit days, allow generous margins for checkpoints and temporary closures, and expect the desk to recommend earlier departures than a map app would.
The fixed airport fares on the Miami page are priced to Miami Beach. For a Doral, Brickell or Coral Gables address, enter it in the Elly8.net web booker for a fixed quote, or book the car by the hour, which is how most summit teams work.
Arriving: MIA, private jets and Fort Lauderdale
Miami International (MIA). The chauffeur tracks the flight and meets you inside arrivals with a name board, with complimentary waiting after a tracked landing. MIA's own advice is to ignore anyone soliciting rides inside the terminal and to use licensed, pre-arranged transport. If you would rather take a taxi, the airport publishes the metered taxi rates, a US$15 minimum fare for trips from MIA and a US$2.00 airport origination fee, with taxis on the arrivals level outside baggage claim; app rides pick up on the arrivals and departures levels. Fixed Elly8.net transfers from MIA to Miami Beach run from US$180 in a business sedan to US$470 in an Executive Sprinter. See MIA airport transfers for how the meeting works.
Private aviation. Delegations and business leaders flying privately often use Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF), about 12 miles (20 km) from the venue. Give the desk the tail number and the FBO, and the chauffeur meets you at the aircraft or in the FBO lobby, depending on that FBO's rules. OPF to Miami Beach is fixed from US$195; see private jet and FBO car service.
Fort Lauderdale (FLL). When Miami hotel blocks and flights fill, FLL is the overflow. It is about 28 miles (46 km) from Doral, so plan around I-95 and Turnpike traffic; fixed fares from FLL to Miami Beach run from US$255 to US$665.
The plan for summit week
Hourly SUVs on standby. Delegation support staff, sherpa teams and corporate delegations rarely know their schedule hour by hour. Book a Business SUV or First Class SUV by the hour (3-hour minimum) and the chauffeur stays with you between the hotel, bilateral meeting rooms, embassy receptions and dinners. In Miami, hourly service runs from US$100 an hour in a business sedan to US$200 an hour in an Executive Sprinter. See hourly chauffeur service.
Full days and roadshow days. For principals or business leaders with a packed calendar, the Miami full-day chauffeur package (8 hours) runs from US$740 to US$1,475, and the 10-hour corporate roadshow day from US$900 to US$1,800, all-in per vehicle. Multi-day bookings that span the Sherpa meeting and the summit are common; book each day as its own reservation so each has its own confirmation and chauffeur details.
Sprinters for teams and media. An Executive Sprinter moves a team with equipment cases in one vehicle and one checkpoint stop, which matters when every vehicle approaching a perimeter is checked. Broadcast and press crews use Sprinter vans with a driver for daily loops between hotels and the media centre.
Evening receptions. Embassies, chambers of commerce and companies host receptions all week in Brickell, Coral Gables and Miami Beach. The 5-hour evening out and event night package runs from US$500 in a business sedan to US$1,000 in an Executive Sprinter.
Discretion, NDAs and what we do not do
Government and diplomatic clients need discretion more than display. Elly8.net signs NDAs on request, can keep the same chauffeur for every day of a booking, and sends chauffeur and vehicle details in advance for accreditation lists. Chauffeurs do not discuss passengers, itineraries or conversations. See government, diplomatic and delegation transportation.
We are equally clear about the limits. Elly8.net does not provide armed or protective security, armoured vehicles or motorcade escorts; official delegations travel in the arrangements set by the host government and their own services. Our cars carry staff, guests, advisers and business delegations around those movements, follow every instruction from police and security officers, and never attempt to enter a closed zone.
As the summit approaches, Miami-Dade County, the City of Doral and federal agencies announce the closures. The desk builds them into every pickup time, and if a road closes while you are out, the chauffeur reroutes and messages you a new meeting point.
Elly8.net vs taxi, rideshare and transit during the summit
A taxi or an app ride is perfectly fine for a single trip on a quiet day, for example from MIA to a Miami Beach hotel early in the week, before the closures start. Miami's taxi rates are metered and published by the airport, and app rides are easy to find on MIA's arrivals and departures levels.
They become harder on the summit days themselves. App prices rise when demand jumps, drivers may decline trips that end near a security perimeter, and every ride is a new car and a new driver who has not seen your accreditation instructions. Public transit is not a realistic way to reach Doral with luggage or on a timed schedule.
A pre-booked chauffeur wins when the schedule is tight, the passenger is senior, the group needs one vehicle, or the trip ends at a checkpoint. The fare is fixed, it does not surge, and the same chauffeur waits for you. For a fuller comparison, see chauffeur vs Uber and Lyft and Uber Black vs a pre-booked chauffeur.
Booking for a delegation or a company
- Enter each pickup and drop-off, with the flight number or tail number for arrivals. For Doral, Brickell or embassy addresses use the web booker; for airport runs to Miami Beach use the fixed prices on the Miami page.
- Choose the vehicle: business sedan, Business SUV, First Class sedan or SUV, or an Executive Sprinter for teams.
- Select Reserve now and pay by card, or book on account. Confirmation arrives by email, and chauffeur details follow before pickup.
Teams and agencies with many travellers should open a corporate account for monthly invoicing and one point of contact, and travel agents booking for clients can use a travel agent account. Summit weeks book out early across South Florida, so reserve as soon as your dates are fixed. Prices on the list do not change for the event; tolls and parking are billed at cost.
Rides in Miami are operated by licensed, commercially insured local chauffeur partners vetted through the Limousine Worldwide network; Elly8.net takes the booking, fixes the price and runs the 24/7 desk. Elly8.net is a member of LimousineWorldwide.Directory, LimousineAssociation.International, HotelsWorldwide.Directory and VacationsWorldwide.Directory. For flights and hotels, our travel partner BookingWorldwide.net handles the rest; Elly8.net books the car only.
Beyond the summit: the rest of South Florida
Many delegates extend into the weekend. Elly8.net also covers Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach and Key West, and the Miami signature day trip runs down the Overseas Highway to Islamorada in the Florida Keys, a 10-hour package from US$920 in a business sedan. Early December is also Miami Art Week, so hotels and cars across Miami Beach are busy in the days before the summit.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a car from MIA during the G20 summit?
Fixed fares from Miami International to Miami Beach run from US$180 in a business sedan to US$470 in an Executive Sprinter, all-in with chauffeur, taxes, standard gratuity and meet and greet. Doral is not a fixed route on the price list; enter the address in the web booker for a fixed quote, or book by the hour from US$100 an hour.
Can the chauffeur drive into the summit perimeter?
Only where the organisers and security authorities allow it, and normally only with accreditation for the vehicle. The chauffeur goes as far as the rules permit, uses the drop-off point given to accredited guests, and follows every instruction from officers. Forward your accreditation and access instructions with the booking.
Do you provide armoured cars or security drivers?
No. Elly8.net is a chauffeured car service, not a security company. We do not supply armoured vehicles, protective drivers or escorts. Official delegations travel inside the host government's security arrangements; we provide support sedans, SUVs and Sprinters for staff, guests and business delegations around them.
Can we keep the same car and chauffeur all week?
Yes. Book each day by the hour or as a full-day or roadshow package and ask for the same chauffeur across the bookings. The desk keeps continuity wherever the schedule allows and sends chauffeur and vehicle details in advance, which helps with accreditation lists.
What happens if a road closes while we are out?
The desk watches published closures and the chauffeur reroutes. If a pickup point becomes unreachable, the chauffeur messages you a new meeting point nearby. Hourly bookings make this easier because the car is already yours and close by, rather than a new request in a congested area.
What is the cancellation policy?
More than 72 hours before pickup, cancellation is free; 72 hours or less costs 10%; 48 hours or less, 50%; 24 hours or less or a no-show, 100%. Refunds go to the original card. Delegation schedules change, so book early and adjust as soon as plans move.
Can you sign an NDA for a delegation or company?
Yes, NDAs are available on request. Chauffeurs do not discuss passengers, schedules or anything said in the vehicle. Corporate and government clients can also book on account with monthly invoicing and a single point of contact at the desk.
Is a Sprinter better than several sedans for a team?
For six or more people with bags or equipment, usually yes. One Executive Sprinter means one vehicle at each checkpoint, one schedule and one chauffeur. Hourly Sprinter service in Miami runs at US$200 an hour, with a 3-hour minimum.
