AMG G63 G Wagon is the most practical choice for MIA arrivals. Room for luggage, high visibility in Miami traffic, and it works everywhere from South Beach to Brickell to Wynwood. If you're unsure what you'll be doing or where exactly you'll be going during your Miami trip, this is the safest bet that doesn't compromise on presence.

Lamborghini Urus splits the difference between supercar and SUV. It's still a Lamborghini, so you're making a statement, but you can fit bags and navigate Miami without constant anxiety about ground clearance. Popular with people flying in for South Beach who want the Lamborghini experience but need some practicality.

Rolls Royce Cullinan or Bentley Flying Spur are executive arrivals. If you're in Miami for business – real estate, finance, meetings in Brickell – these signal that you're here for serious reasons. Both have room for luggage and passengers. The Cullinan sits higher and has more commanding presence. The Flying Spur is more understated but equally luxurious.

Ferrari F8 Spider or Lamborghini Huracán work only if you're traveling light. These cars have minimal storage – a weekend bag might fit, a full suitcase won't. If you're arriving for a few days in Miami, staying at a South Beach hotel, and the car is part of the experience, they're perfect. But if you have luggage for a week-long trip, pick something else.

Bentley Continental GT is the balanced option – fast, comfortable, and with an actual trunk. Good for couples arriving at MIA who want performance and luxury but also need to transport luggage to their hotel without playing Tetris. Works well for Miami Beach, Coral Gables, or anywhere you want elegance without extremes.

C8 Corvette is the budget exotic option. Still mid-engine, still gets attention, but costs significantly less than a Ferrari or Lamborghini. If you want a memorable arrival at MIA without spending supercar money, this delivers. Limited luggage space though – plan accordingly.

DB12 Aston Martin is understated luxury. Less aggressive than Italian supercars, more refined than American muscle. Works particularly well if you're staying in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, or areas where you want elegance over attention-seeking.

Before your flight: When you book, provide your flight number and arrival terminal. We track your flight status automatically, but most clients text us when they land and give us an updated ETA to baggage claim. This helps us time the delivery perfectly so you're not waiting and we're not circling.

International arrivals: If you're coming from an international flight, factor in customs and immigration time. This can be 20 minutes or two hours depending on the day, how many flights landed simultaneously, and Global Entry status. Text us when you clear customs and are heading to baggage claim – that's when we position for pickup.

Domestic arrivals: Usually faster. Grab your bags, head to the arrivals level of your terminal, and text us. We meet you outside at the designated pickup area for your specific terminal. Miami airport police don't let cars sit at the curb long, so timing matters, but we've coordinated hundreds of these pickups and know how it works.

The vehicle handoff: We meet you outside with the car, walk through the basic controls and features, review the rental agreement, and answer any questions about routes or destinations. This takes 15-20 minutes. If you're familiar with high-performance vehicles, it's faster. If you've never driven a Lamborghini, we take more time to make sure you're comfortable.

Getting out of MIA: The airport is surrounded by highway access. If you're going to South Beach, you'll take either the Airport Expressway (SR 112) or I-195 east depending on traffic. Brickell is straight into I-95 south. Fort Lauderdale is I-95 north. We give you specific route guidance based on your destination and current traffic conditions.

Return process: Drive back to MIA departures, call or text when you're close, we meet you at your departure terminal. Walk through the car together to confirm everything's fine, and you head to check-in. Takes about five minutes. No rental lot, no shuttle, no hassle.

MIA to South Beach (20-25 minutes): The most common route. Take Airport Expressway (SR 112) east to I-195 east, which becomes the Julia Tuttle Causeway into Miami Beach. Once you're on Miami Beach, head south to South Beach. Traffic varies wildly – early morning is clear, midday and evening can be gridlock. Most leisure travelers picking up at MIA are heading here.

MIA to Brickell/Downtown Miami (15 minutes): The closest major destination. Northwest 7th Street or the Airport Expressway to I-95 south for a few exits, then straight into downtown. Brickell is the financial district – high-rises, restaurants, business hotels. If you're in Miami for work, this is likely your destination. Traffic on I-95 can be brutal during rush hour (7-9am, 4-7pm).

MIA to Coral Gables (10-15 minutes): The airport is essentially in Coral Gables already. West on Le Jeune Road or south on Douglas Road. The Gables is more residential, tree-lined, upscale but understated. The Biltmore Hotel is here, along with nice restaurants and quieter neighborhoods. Good for people who want luxury without the South Beach chaos.

MIA to Coconut Grove (15-20 minutes): South on US-1 or take the back roads through Coral Gables. The Grove is artsy, laid-back, waterfront-focused. Less intense than South Beach, more personality than Brickell. If you're staying here, a Bentley or Aston Martin fits better than a neon-colored Lamborghini.

MIA to Wynwood/Design District (15 minutes): I-195 west briefly, then north into the neighborhoods. Both areas are art-focused, high energy, lots of murals and galleries. The Design District skews luxury retail, Wynwood is grittier and more authentic. An AMG G63 or Lamborghini Urus work well here – edgy enough to fit the vibe, practical enough for urban parking.

MIA to Fort Lauderdale (35-40 minutes): North on I-95 the whole way. Some people fly into MIA specifically because flights are cheaper or more convenient, then drive to Fort Lauderdale or Boca Raton. Traffic on I-95 north is unpredictable – budget extra time during commute hours.

MIA to Key Biscayne (25 minutes): East through downtown, then south on the Rickenbacker Causeway. Key Biscayne is an island with nice beaches, the Ritz-Carlton, and a more relaxed pace. The causeway has a toll ($1.75) but it's a scenic drive with water on both sides.

MIA to Miami Beach (not South Beach) (20 minutes): Same initial route as South Beach but you stop earlier – Mid-Beach or North Beach. These areas are quieter, more residential, better for families. The Fontainebleau and other resorts are here. Less party energy, more vacation/relaxation focused.

Business travelers arriving at MIA: Usually heading to Brickell for meetings, conferences at the Convention Center, or hotels in downtown Miami. You want something impressive but professional – Rolls Royce Cullinan, Bentley Flying Spur, DB12 Aston Martin. The car signals success without being distracting in business contexts. Luggage space matters because you're here for several days with suits and presentation materials.

Leisure and vacation arrivals: Most are going to South Beach or Miami Beach hotels. You want something that makes an entrance – Ferrari F8 Spider, Lamborghini Huracán or Urus, AMG G63. The car is part of the vacation experience, not just transportation. You'll be photographing it, valet parking it at restaurants and clubs, and documenting the whole trip. Bold choices work here.

Event-specific arrivals: Art Basel in December, Miami Grand Prix in May, Ultra Music Festival in March – MIA sees surges during these events. Everyone wants an exotic car, so inventory moves fast and prices reflect demand. The F8 Spider and G Wagon are most popular during event weeks. Book at least a month ahead if you're flying in for a major Miami event.

International travelers: Many international flights arrive at MIA early morning (6-9am from Europe, overnight from South America). If you're arriving after a long flight and heading to a hotel, consider whether you want to drive immediately or if chauffeur service makes more sense. Jet lag and unfamiliar roads don't always mix well with a 600-horsepower Lamborghini.

Group arrivals: Sometimes multiple people arrive together – corporate groups, wedding parties, family vacations. The Rolls Royce Cullinan or Bentley Flying Spur work if everyone's in one vehicle. Otherwise, consider multiple vehicles – a G Wagon and a Lamborghini, for example – so everyone arrives together but in their own space.

Long weekend (3-4 days): The most common rental length from MIA. Fly in Thursday or Friday, use the car through the weekend, return it Monday morning before your flight home. Perfect for experiencing Miami without committing to a full week. The rate is structured for this duration and it's long enough to justify the airport delivery service.

Full week: Popular for actual vacations or extended business trips. The daily rate drops after five days, so a week rental is more economical per day than a long weekend. Makes sense if you're exploring all of South Florida – Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, maybe even down to the Keys. You have the car long enough to really use it rather than just showing up places.

Two weeks or more: Usually winter visitors, people relocating and need temporary transportation, or business travelers on extended projects. At this length, long-term rates apply and it becomes cost-competitive with luxury traditional rentals, except you're driving a Lamborghini or Bentley instead of a premium sedan. The math works if you're here that long.

24-48 hours: Less common but it happens. Quick Miami trips – fly in for a specific event, one night out, one business dinner. You pay more per day at this duration, but if the specific moment matters enough (anniversary dinner, important client meeting, music video shoot), it's worth it. More about impact than value at this length.

Monthly and seasonal: Snowbirds and long-term business travelers. If you're in Miami for the winter season (November-April) or working on a months-long project, monthly rates make the most sense. You essentially have a personal exotic car for your entire stay rather than dealing with multiple rental contracts or traditional boring cars.

Self-drive makes sense if: You're comfortable with high-performance vehicles, you know Miami roads (or you're good with navigation apps), you want the driving experience to be part of your trip, and you're alert enough after your flight to handle a powerful car. Most leisure travelers choose self-drive because feeling the Ferrari or Lamborghini is the whole point.

Chauffeur makes sense if: You just landed after a long international flight and you'd rather rest than navigate Miami traffic. You're bringing clients or family and want to focus on them rather than driving. You're unfamiliar with Miami and would rather let a professional handle the route and parking logistics. You'll be drinking at your destination and don't want to drive back to your hotel.

The reality of Miami traffic: I-95 is aggressive and confusing. South Beach parking is a nightmare. Brickell has one-way streets that don't make sense. If you don't know the area and you're tired from travel, a chauffeur removes all that stress. You land, get in the back of a Rolls Royce or Bentley, and arrive at your hotel rested while someone else deals with the chaos.

Hybrid approach: Many people do chauffeur from MIA to their hotel (arrival service), then self-drive during their Miami stay, then chauffeur back to MIA for their departure (so they can relax before their flight). This gives you the VIP arrival and departure experience while still letting you drive the car when you're fresh and know where you're going.

International arrivals specifically: If you're arriving from Europe, South America, or Asia after an overnight flight, seriously consider chauffeur service at least for the airport pickup. Jet lag and a 600-horsepower Lamborghini in unfamiliar traffic is a recipe for stress, not enjoyment. Get to your hotel, rest, then take the car out yourself later when you're alert.
