A Miami limo service or black car is the simplest way to cross a city where the airport, the cruise port and the hotels on Miami Beach sit on opposite sides of Biscayne Bay. With Elly8.net the price is fixed before you travel: Miami International Airport (MIA) to Miami Beach runs from US$180 in a Business Sedan to US$470 in an Executive Sprinter, with the chauffeur, vehicle, taxes, standard gratuity and airport meet and greet included.
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. Partner vehicles are four model years old or newer. You book from this page, pay by card, and the confirmation arrives by email with the details of your pickup.
How much is a car service from MIA to Miami Beach?
A pre-booked Elly8.net car from MIA to Miami Beach costs US$180 in a Business Sedan, US$235 in a Business SUV, US$290 in a First Class SUV, US$315 in a First Class Sedan and US$470 in an Executive Sprinter. Prices are fixed and all-in per vehicle, not per person, with flight tracking and meet and greet included.
The road distance is about 15 mi (24 km) and takes roughly 30 minutes on a clear road. On a weekday evening, a HEAT game night or a Saturday in season, the desk plans around 45 to 60 minutes, because the causeways into Miami Beach are where traffic stacks up. The fare does not change with the clock; if the drive takes longer, you pay the same.
A round trip from MIA to Miami Beach is US$345 in a Business Sedan and US$895 in an Executive Sprinter, and every class sits in the price panel on this page.
Miami airports: where your chauffeur meets you
Three airports serve a Miami trip, and the right one depends on your airline, your budget and whether you are flying privately. Each has a fixed Elly8.net price to Miami Beach.
| Airport | Distance to Miami Beach | Clear-road drive | Elly8.net one way |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miami International (MIA) | about 15 mi (24 km) | about 30 min | US$180 to US$470 |
| Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood (FLL) | about 27 mi (43 km) | about 41 min | US$255 to US$665 |
| Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF) | about 17 mi (28 km) | about 32 min | US$195 to US$510 |
Miami International Airport (MIA)
MIA is a large airport with several concourses, so the meeting point matters. Your chauffeur tracks the flight, waits inside arrivals with a name board and walks you to the car at the arrivals curb. If you are clearing US customs after an international flight, the tracking covers the delay: complimentary waiting after a tracked landing means a long passport line is not your problem. Tell the desk about oversized bags or golf clubs and we will put you in an SUV or a Sprinter rather than a sedan.
For a fair comparison, MIA publishes its taxi rates: US$2.95 for the first sixth of a mile, then a sliding per-mile rate, plus a US$2.00 airport origination fee and a US$15 minimum from the airport. On the published meter, 15 miles to Miami Beach works out to roughly US$55 before waiting time, tolls and tip, and SUV or van taxis add a 30 percent surcharge. Ride app pickups are on the first (arrivals) and second (departures) levels. The full rules are on the MIA taxi and ride app page.
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (FLL)
Many Miami visitors fly into FLL because the airfares are lower. It is about 27 mi (43 km) to Miami Beach, roughly 41 minutes on a clear road and often more than an hour on I-95 at rush hour. Elly8.net prices FLL to Miami Beach from US$255 in a Business Sedan to US$665 in an Executive Sprinter. Broward County lists a taxi estimate of about US$80 from FLL to South Beach. If you are staying in Fort Lauderdale first, see our Fort Lauderdale car service page, where FLL to the beach starts at US$120.
Miami-Opa Locka Executive (OPF) for private jets
OPF is the largest of Miami-Dade County's general aviation airports, open 24 hours a day and a few miles from Hard Rock Stadium. It handles business and private flights, which makes it the usual choice for owners and charter guests heading to Bal Harbour, Sunny Isles or Miami Beach. OPF to Miami Beach is fixed from US$195 in a Business Sedan to US$510 in an Executive Sprinter. Give the desk your tail number and FBO, and the chauffeur meets you planeside or at the FBO lounge as the operator allows. Our private jet and FBO car service page explains how ramp access works.
PortMiami cruise transfers
PortMiami calls itself the Cruise Capital of the World, and the numbers back it up: the port reports 8,233,056 cruise passengers in 2024. That volume is why cruise mornings feel busy on the MacArthur Causeway and Port Boulevard. A pre-booked cruise port transfer takes you straight from MIA or your hotel to the right terminal, with no taxi line at either end.
Knowing your terminal saves time on the island. According to PortMiami's terminal guide:
- Terminal AA is MSC Cruises' terminal, opened in 2025 and described by the port as the largest cruise terminal in the world.
- Terminal A, the Crown of Miami, is Royal Caribbean's; Terminal G, also for Royal Caribbean, is expected to open in 2027.
- Terminal B, the Pearl of Miami, belongs to Norwegian Cruise Line.
- Terminals D, E and F are Carnival Cruise Line's; Terminal C serves several lines.
- Terminal J handles smaller and luxury ships, and Terminal V is Virgin Voyages'.
For a group of six with luggage, an Executive Sprinter is the practical choice; for two people with four cases, a Business SUV. On disembarkation day the desk watches the ship's arrival and your chauffeur waits at the terminal pickup area. If you are sailing from Fort Lauderdale instead, our Fort Lauderdale page covers Port Everglades.
Where we drive in Miami
Miami is a set of very different districts, and a chauffeur who knows the driveways makes each one easier.
- Miami Beach. South Beach and the Art Deco blocks, Mid-Beach along Collins Avenue, and the big resort driveways where valet lanes back up on Friday nights. Our MIA and FLL prices are quoted to Miami Beach.
- Brickell and Downtown. The banking district, the high-rise hotels, Kaseya Center and Bayfront Park. Weekday mornings here are about reaching the right tower lobby on time.
- Design District and Wynwood. Boutiques, galleries and restaurants a short drive north of Downtown. Hourly service works well for shopping days with several stops.
- Coral Gables and Coconut Grove. Leafy, residential and full of offices and dinner spots, south of Brickell.
- Bal Harbour, Surfside and Sunny Isles. Quieter oceanfront towers further north, closer to OPF than to MIA.
- Doral. West of the airport, home to large hotels, offices and golf resorts.
For anything not on the price list, such as a Coral Gables home to a Bal Harbour restaurant, the web booker on this page quotes any address.
Miami events that move the city
Certain weeks change how Miami drives. These are the next confirmed dates the desk is planning around.
- Art Basel Miami Beach, December 4 to 6, 2026. The fair's official page lists the dates; the whole week fills with satellite fairs, dinners and gallery nights across Miami Beach, Wynwood and the Design District. Hourly cars and evening packages go first.
- G20 Leaders' Summit, December 14 to 15, 2026. The United States holds the 2026 G20 presidency, and the official G20 calendar lists the Leaders' Summit in Miami, preceded by a Sherpa meeting on December 10 to 12. The President announced Trump National Doral as the summit location. Expect security perimeters and road closures around Doral that week; delegations should talk to us early about government and diplomatic transportation.
- Ultra Music Festival, March 26 to 28, 2027. Three nights at Bayfront Park, per Ultra's official site. Downtown streets around Biscayne Boulevard close, so pickups move to agreed points a few blocks away.
- Formula 1 Hard Rock Miami Grand Prix, April 30 to May 2, 2027. The race returns to the Miami International Autodrome at Hard Rock Stadium, according to the Grand Prix's official site. Race-weekend traffic around the stadium is heavy, and drop-off zones are set by the promoter.
- Game nights. The Miami HEAT play at Kaseya Center in Downtown, and the Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.
For galas, fair dinners and concerts, see event transportation in Miami and our sports event transportation page. The Miami price list includes an evening out and event night from US$500 in a Business Sedan to US$1,000 in an Executive Sprinter.
Corporate travel, roadshows and meetings
Miami business travel runs through Brickell, Downtown, Coral Gables and Doral, with a steady flow of Latin American and European visitors through MIA. A corporate car service account gives your travelers the same fixed prices, one monthly invoice and a desk that answers at any hour.
For investor days, the corporate roadshow day is fixed at US$900 in a Business Sedan up to US$1,800 in an Executive Sprinter, and a full-day chauffeur runs from US$740 to US$1,475. Hourly service, as directed, is US$100 an hour in a Business Sedan up to US$200 in an Executive Sprinter, with a three-hour minimum. Our roadshow chauffeur page explains how we sequence meetings across Brickell and Coral Gables. NDAs are available on request, and you can open an account on the corporate accounts page.
Weddings, celebrations and nights out
Miami Beach hotels, Coral Gables estates and waterfront venues on Biscayne Bay host weddings every weekend in season. Our wedding limousine service covers the couple's car and guest shuttles in Sprinter vans with a driver, timed around the ceremony, the photos and the reception exit. Chauffeurs follow local rules on what can be carried in the vehicle.
For a birthday dinner in Brickell followed by a late table on Miami Beach, the evening out and event night package keeps the chauffeur waiting while you are inside, so nobody is hunting for a ride at 1 a.m.
Day trips and the Florida Keys
The Miami signature day trip is a 10-hour drive down the Overseas Highway to Islamorada, fixed at US$920 in a Business Sedan up to US$1,840 in an Executive Sprinter. Islamorada's visitor center sits at Mile Marker 87, about 87 mi (140 km) from Miami Beach, so the day allows time for lunch on the water and an unhurried drive back. The Florida Keys tourism office has ideas for the stop.
If you want to go all the way, Key West is about 158 mi (254 km) from MIA, roughly four hours with no stops. Our Key West car service page covers rides once you are there, and a one-way Miami to Key West transfer can be priced in the web booker or as a city to city car service. Closer to home, the private city highlights tour covers South Beach, Wynwood and Coconut Grove from US$400.
Elly8.net vs taxi, rideshare and transit in Miami
There is no single right answer. The honest comparison depends on how many people, how many bags and what time you land.
| Option | MIA to Miami Beach price | Time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elly8.net Business Sedan | US$180 fixed, all-in | about 30 min clear road | Late arrivals, meetings, fixed budget |
| Elly8.net Executive Sprinter | US$470 fixed, all-in | about 30 min clear road | Groups and cruise luggage |
| Miami-Dade taxi (meter) | roughly US$55 plus tolls, waiting and tip | same roads | One or two travelers, light bags |
| Rideshare (Uber, Lyft, Uber Black) | varies with demand | same roads | Off-peak trips, flexible plans |
| Route 150 Miami Beach Airport Express | US$2.25 | longer, with stops | Solo travelers on a budget |
The bus is genuinely good value. Route 150 runs every 30 minutes from about 6 a.m. to 11:40 p.m. between the MIA Metrorail station, reached on the free MIA Mover, and Miami Beach from 41st Street to South Pointe Drive, according to MIA's public transportation page. If you are one person with a carry-on, take it.
A pre-booked chauffeur wins when the flight lands at midnight, when four people and six cases need one vehicle, when a child seat must be fitted before you arrive, or when Art Basel or race weekend pushes app prices up. Our Uber Black vs a pre-booked chauffeur guide and the chauffeur vs taxi comparison go deeper.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a black car service in Miami?
A Miami black car service from MIA to Miami Beach starts at US$180 in a Business Sedan and reaches US$470 in an Executive Sprinter. Hourly service, as directed, starts at US$100 an hour with a three-hour minimum. Prices are fixed and all-in, including chauffeur, vehicle, taxes, standard gratuity and airport meet and greet. Tolls, parking and waiting beyond the included time are billed at cost.
Where does my chauffeur meet me at MIA?
Inside arrivals, holding a name board, once you have collected your bags or cleared customs. Because we track the flight, the chauffeur adjusts to an early or late landing and you get complimentary waiting after a tracked landing. If you cannot see your chauffeur, call the 24/7 desk number in your confirmation email and we will guide you to each other.
Can you take us from MIA to PortMiami on cruise day?
Yes. Give us your flight, your ship and the terminal, such as AA for MSC or D, E and F for Carnival, and we time the pickup so you arrive within your boarding window. For larger families with cruise luggage, the Executive Sprinter keeps everyone and every case in one vehicle. Return transfers from the ship to MIA or FLL can go on the same reservation.
Is it cheaper to fly into Fort Lauderdale for Miami Beach?
Sometimes the airfare is, but the ride is longer. FLL to Miami Beach is about 27 mi (43 km), and the Elly8.net fixed price is US$255 in a Business Sedan versus US$180 from MIA. Broward County's own taxi estimate from FLL to South Beach is about US$80. Compare the total of flight plus ground transport before you choose.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes, child seats are available on request. Add the age and weight of each child when you book so the chauffeur arrives with the right seat already fitted. For families with strollers and cruise cases, choose a Business SUV or an Executive Sprinter so the seats and the luggage both fit comfortably.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancel more than 72 hours before pickup and you pay nothing. At 72 hours or less before pickup the charge is 10 percent, at 48 hours or less it is 50 percent, and at 24 hours or less, or for a no-show, it is 100 percent. Refunds always go back to the original card used to book.
Can you handle a group for Art Basel or the Grand Prix?
Yes. For Art Basel week and race weekend we book Executive Sprinters for groups and hourly cars for hosts moving between dinners and venues. Book early, because these weeks fill first. The desk agrees pickup points that work with official road closures and promoter drop-off zones, and you get one invoice for the whole group.
Do you offer corporate accounts in Miami?
Yes. Corporate accounts get fixed prices, monthly invoicing, traveler profiles and a 24/7 desk, and travel agents and hotels can open their own accounts too. NDAs are available on request for confidential visits. Sign up on the corporate accounts page and your team can book Miami, Fort Lauderdale and every other Elly8.net city on the same account.
