Sunny Isles pricing
Sunny Isles Beach is outside our published hotel-zone table, so we give you one fixed, all-inclusive quote per vehicle before you book — gratuity, tolls and fees included, no meter and no surge. As a guide, the drive is about 17–19 miles and 35–55 minutes. Call (305) 433-4568 or request a quote online.
Two ways south
Sunny Isles is a narrow strip of oceanfront towers on Collins Avenue (A1A). One route runs south along Collins through Bal Harbour, Surfside and Miami Beach to the MacArthur Causeway — scenic but slow on weekends. The other heads west over the William Lehman Causeway or Sunny Isles Boulevard to Biscayne Boulevard or I-95. On most cruise mornings the mainland route is quicker.
Pickup at Sunny Isles towers
Nearly every building has a valet drive. Many condo-hotels and rental towers restrict where outside vehicles can stop, so tell us the building name; your chauffeur coordinates with the front desk and meets you in the drive.
Families and groups from Sunny Isles
Sunny Isles is popular with multi-generation families renting large apartments. If your group is bigger than six, look at a 10-passenger van or a Sprinter so everyone and every suitcase goes in one vehicle.
