Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I track my assigned driver?
- Upon driver assignment, you will receive an instant WhatsApp notification that contains a secure link. Clicking this link opens a live map in your web browser, showing your driver's real-time location and their route to your pickup point. This feature is active for both airport and intracity bookings, giving you complete visibility. You can see exactly how far away your car is, which is how you track your assigned driver.
- What information is in the WhatsApp driver notification?
- The instant WhatsApp notification is designed for your security and convenience. It includes the driver's full name, a recent photograph, the vehicle make and model (e.g., Mercedes Vito), its color, and the license plate number. This ensures you can easily identify your correct vehicle and driver. The message with your driver's information via WhatsApp is a key part of our safety protocol.
- How does instant intracity booking work?
- Our system allows you to request a car for immediate pickup. Simply enter your location and destination in Miami. Our AI dispatch locates the nearest available driver from our pre-staged fleet and assigns them to you. The average pickup time is between 7-15 minutes in most central districts. This is how you can get an instant private car without booking in advance.
- What payment methods do you accept?
- We accept all major credit cards through our secure online payment system. When you book, the price is fixed and confirmed. You are charged the agreed-upon amount, with no hidden fees, meter charges, or surge pricing, regardless of traffic or route changes. We do not accept cash to ensure a seamless and transparent transaction, so all payment is handled digitally.
- Do you provide child seats?
- Yes, we provide child seats upon request. During the booking process, you must specify the type and number of child seats needed (infant, toddler, or booster). Our team ensures the driver arrives with the correct, properly installed seats. Safety is a top priority, and we comply with all local regulations regarding child passenger safety, so we are happy to provide a child seat for your transfer.
- What if my flight is delayed?
- You do not need to worry or contact us if your flight is delayed. For all airport pickups, we use your flight number to monitor its status in real-time. Our dispatch system automatically adjusts your pickup time to your actual arrival time, whether it's early or late. Your driver will be there when you land, and this flight tracking service is included at no extra charge.
- I have a lot of luggage. What car should I book?
- Luggage capacity is crucial for a comfortable ride. A Mercedes Sedan fits 2 large bags. For 3-5 people with luggage, we strongly recommend a Mercedes Vito, which has ample space. For groups larger than 5 or with excessive items like golf clubs or multiple large suitcases per person, the Mercedes Sprinter is the correct choice. Booking the right vehicle for your luggage is essential.
- What about late-night arrivals?
- We specialize in 24/7 service, including late-night and early-morning airport transfers. Our dispatch desk is fully staffed around the clock. A pre-booked Meet Transfer car is one of the most reliable ways to get from MIA after midnight, letting you bypass long taxi queues and the uncertainty of ride-hail availability. A late-night arrival is a common booking for our service.
- How does your pricing work?
- Our pricing is transparent and fixed from the moment you book. The quote you receive is the final price you pay. This price includes all taxes, tolls, and fees. We do not use surge pricing during peak hours or for high-demand events. This policy ensures you know the full cost of your journey upfront, providing peace of mind. This fixed pricing is a cornerstone of our service.
