Where do chauffeured cars, taxis and app rides meet you at MIA?
A prearranged chauffeur uses the meeting point set for your booking; taxis and app rides use airport pickup locations. Read the Miami Airport car service guide, Miami Airport ground transportation guide and Miami Airport rideshare pickup guide for the details.
| Ride type | Where to go at MIA | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Prearranged chauffeured car | Use the meeting point set for your booking; eligible arrivals can add the $25 inside meet-and-greet | Collect luggage, follow the booked instructions and call the concierge if the flight or baggage changes the meeting time |
| Taxi | Arrivals ground level, outside baggage claim | Join the taxi line and check the meter and airport charges |
| App ride | Level 1 arrivals or Level 2 departures, at the assigned location and door shown in the app | Check the app again after collecting bags and follow its current level and door |
MIA groups North Terminal as D, Central as E, F and G, and South as H and J. Baggage claim is on Level 1; international processing at J is on Level 3. For a car to MIA Terminal E, share Concourse E and the arriving flight, then follow the booked-car meeting point. A ticketing counter is not necessarily the arrival pickup point.
How much does Miami Airport car service cost?
Artisan sedan and SUV rides start at $135 for an Executive Sedan, $155 for an Executive SUV, $185 for a Luxury SUV and $235 for a Luxury Sedan. Use these as class starting rates; compare the exact MIA car service route. For Miami airport transfers, enter the exact pickup, destination, time and vehicle to see the fare before booking.
| One-way MIA route | Executive Sedan | Executive SUV | Luxury SUV | Luxury Sedan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MIA to Fontainebleau Miami Beach | $176.19 | $198.47 | $235.34 | $294.49 |
| MIA to Lummus Park, South Beach | $176.77 | $199.09 | $236.05 | $295.33 |
| MIA to Brickell City Centre | $168.05 | $189.88 | $225.39 | $282.74 |
| MIA to PortMiami | $165.97 | $187.69 | $222.85 | $279.73 |
| MIA to The Biltmore Hotel, Coral Gables | $150.01 | $170.85 | $203.35 | $256.69 |

Each return direction is priced separately. These sample prices are not for Art Basel week or New Year’s Eve; those dates use event-week estimates.
How does MIA airport waiting compare across providers?
Arrival waiting differs by provider, and some companies state a grace period only for another airport or pickup type. Compare the actual MIA arrival rule before booking, especially for an international flight or a group vehicle.
| Provider | Published airport arrival waiting |
|---|---|
| Artisan Limo | 60 minutes domestic or 90 minutes international from wheels-down for sedans and SUVs; Sprinter and coach wait is set in the written quote |
| Limopedia | Its Fort Lauderdale page states 60 minutes after landing; its MIA arrival allowance is not stated numerically on the pages checked |
| American Transportation & Limo Service | 30 minutes domestic and 60 minutes international; later airport waiting charges are not quantified |
| System Shuttle and Tours | Complimentary airport-arrival waiting is advertised, but the duration is not stated; departure waiting uses separate terms |
| Driven Miami | Flight tracking is stated, but an arrival grace period and later wait fee are not published |
| 515 MIAMI | 40 minutes domestic or 60 minutes international from touchdown; FBO waiting is 30 minutes; additional airport waiting is $90 per hour, billed in 30-minute increments |
| Blacklane GmbH | Up to 60 minutes after landing for airport pickups; additional waiting may incur a charge |
| Uber Black | On-demand MIA pickups allow five minutes to reach the car before per-minute fees; Reserve airport guidance gives up to 60 minutes after flight arrival for Black rides |
A no-number policy is not the same as no waiting. Ask whether the allowance starts at touchdown, scheduled pickup or the time the chauffeur reaches the meeting point, and what the charge is after that. Artisan’s sedan and SUV allowance starts at wheels-down. For Sprinters, coaches and private-flight arrivals, waiting is set in the written quote.
How much is an MIA taxi, and is it cheaper than a car?
MIA taxis use a meter; Miami-Dade says flat fares were eliminated. Waiting is $0.40 per minute. Add the $2 airport origination fee and $15 minimum. Larger SUV and van taxis have a 30% meter surcharge, except wheelchair-accessible taxis serving wheelchair users. These airport figures were checked Nov 1, 2026.
Compare the taxi meter or live app offer with the car fare for the same trip. Uber’s past-month averages, checked Nov 5, 2026, are $58 for Black from Upper Brickell to MIA and $51 Black or $64 Black SUV from 900 Biscayne Bay to MIA. The MIA rideshare pickup guide explains app pickup locations.
Can you take Metrorail, Tri-Rail or Brightline from MIA?
Yes. MIA’s free MIA Mover connects the terminal with the intermodal center and transit connections. Miami-Dade Transit lists Metrorail and Metrobus at $2.25. On weekends, the Orange Line is an airport shuttle between MIA and Earlington Heights, where riders transfer for onward rail service.
Tri-Rail weekday fares range from $3 to $10 by zones, and its weekend or holiday day pass is $5 (Tri-Rail, checked Nov 1, 2026). MIA connects by MIA Mover; Tri-Rail’s FLL station has a complimentary airport shuttle. Brightline’s airport connector is $12 plus a $3 fuel surcharge with a same-day train ticket, first come, first served (Brightline, checked Nov 1, 2026). Some South Florida to Orlando fare types include a one-way connector.
Rail fares are per passenger and need station and final-leg planning; a chauffeured fare is for the vehicle. Compare the full party, bags and address. See the Miami Airport ground transportation guide.
How should you plan an MIA to PortMiami or FLL transfer?
For PortMiami, enter the cruise terminal assigned to your sailing rather than a general port address. The Artisan example from MIA to PortMiami has an Executive Sedan price of $165.97 for the sample pickup. Build in time for the airline arrival, luggage and cruise check-in; airline waiting rules do not determine when a cruise passenger is ready to leave the ship. Compare the PortMiami car service for cruise-specific pickup planning.
The MIA to FLL Executive Sedan example is $243.10 on the sample date. If your trip runs the other way, enter FLL as the pickup for a new quote; the reverse direction has its own route details. See Fort Lauderdale airport car service or the Fort Lauderdale airport to Miami route for that leg. For a private aircraft at OPF, send the FBO and tail number, or your flight team’s timing, and we coordinate your pickup. Private-flight waiting is set in the quote; see Opa-locka Executive Airport car service.
Which vehicle fits your passengers and bags?
Choose the cabin by counting both travelers and luggage. Artisan Executive and Luxury Sedans take up to 2 passengers and 3 bags. Executive SUVs and Luxury SUVs take up to 6 passengers and 6 bags. Child seats are SUV only, cost $25 each, and are limited to 2 per vehicle. Request them in advance with each child’s age, weight and height, subject to availability.
Sprinters and coaches are priced by written quote. Artisan Sprinters carry about 13 passengers, Mini Coaches up to 24 passengers and Motorcoaches up to 56 passengers. Group vehicle luggage layouts and waiting are set in the written offer. Send the full party size, bag count, pickup and destination before comparing a larger vehicle with several sedans or SUVs.
If you want an inside arrival greeting, eligible MIA meet-and-greet service costs $25 and includes a chauffeur with a name sign. Without it, use the booked meeting point. For a booking made for someone else, the trip information goes to the booker; pass the pickup plan to the traveler.
When does hourly service make sense after MIA?
Hourly service suits an airport pickup followed by meetings, shopping or several planned stops when you want the car to remain with you. Artisan’s car service has a three-hour minimum. Executive Sedan service is $120 per hour, Executive SUV service in a Suburban is $144 per hour, Luxury SUV service in an Escalade is $165 per hour, and Luxury Sedan service is $200 per hour. Three hours totals $360, $432, $495 and $600 by class, before any optional gratuity.
Book three to twelve hours online or call about a longer day. Extra time is billed in 30-minute steps at the same rate, with your approval and dispatch approval, subject to availability. List each stop and your planned finish before choosing the block. See Miami hourly chauffeur service for the retained-car option. Ordinary sedan and SUV fares do not use demand-based surge pricing; Art Basel week and New Year’s Eve use event-week estimates. Art Basel Miami Beach runs Dec 2 to 6, 2026; review the Art Basel Miami Beach car service page for event-week estimates.
What should you ask before booking an MIA car?
Use the same pickup, destination, date and party details for each quote.
- What’s the total for my route, date, time and vehicle?
- Which charges are included, and which are separate?
- When does airport waiting start, how much is included, and what is extra?
- Where is the meeting point, and is inside greeting available?
- How are early, delayed or changed flights handled?
- What are the passenger and bag limits?
- Can I request child seats, and what do they cost?
- Is the service hourly, point-to-point or a group quote?
- What are the deposit, cancellation and payment terms?
- Who receives trip details when I book for a guest?
For a family, include child ages, weights and heights and all bags. For a cruise, send the terminal shown in the sailing information. For a connection, provide both airports and each flight number. For a private-flight pickup, send the FBO and tail number, or your flight team’s timing, and we coordinate your pickup.
How do you book an Artisan MIA car?
For a sedan or SUV, enter MIA, the exact destination, date, local pickup time, flight, passengers and bags. Choose a class and review the route price, with gratuity separate. Save a card to send the request without an immediate charge. Artisan accepts, revises or declines, and charges after acceptance. Group requests need route, stops, timing, passenger and bag counts; the written quote sets vehicle and waiting terms.
