Detailed Drivers is Miami's premier car service with car seat, providing infant seats, convertible seats, and booster seats on all airport transfers and hourly bookings — 24/7 across Miami, South Beach, Brickell, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and the broader Miami-Dade metro. Car seat service costs $25 per seat, per trip, added to the standard flat-rate price. Your chauffeur pre-installs the requested seat before arriving at Miami International Airport (MIA), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), or PortMiami cruise terminals. As of 2026, Detailed Drivers operates across 30+ US cities with no surge pricing.
Uber and Lyft drivers in Florida are not required to carry car seats. Florida law requires child restraints but rideshare platforms do not enforce this on drivers. At MIA — one of the busiest international gateways in the US — there is no reliable way to guarantee a car seat through the app. Detailed Drivers pre-installs the correct seat type before arriving at the terminal.
