What’s Included and What’s Not
The package includes air-conditioned transportation, waiting times (up to 60 minutes at the airport), and professional driver service. You’ll need to keep luggage restrictions in mind—each traveler can bring one suitcase and one small carry-on, but oversized or excess luggage like surfboards or bikes might require prior inquiry.
Extras such as meet & greet or additional waiting time are not included but could be arranged at extra costs. If you’re arriving with a lot of baggage or unusual items, it’s worth confirming with the operator whether your luggage will fit comfortably.
How the Meeting and Pickup Process Works
Once your flight lands, you’ll receive an SMS with instructions for the transfer. The driver will communicate via WhatsApp or phone call to confirm your location, track your flight to see the terminal, and wait at the exit. They aim to arrive at the meeting point within five minutes after you’re ready, which minimizes wait time and keeps things efficient.
This process is designed to accommodate real-time flight updates and delays, giving you peace of mind. Whether you’re arriving late at night or during peak hours, the driver’s monitoring ensures you’re not left stranded or waiting long.
The Vehicle Experience and Travel Comfort
The vehicles are air-conditioned, which is a blessing in Miami’s warm climate. Reviews mentioned that the drivers are professional, courteous, and attentive—adding a personable touch to the ride. With private transportation, you avoid the chaos of taxis and crowded shuttles, gaining a private space to relax or prepare for your next activity.
Travelers reported the drivers’ punctuality and communication as highlights, especially since they tracked flights to avoid unnecessary waits. This is particularly helpful if your flight is delayed or arriving early, as the driver’s system adjusts accordingly.
