Three days, three cars, one city that was built to be driven. This is not a generic Miami travel guide. It is a tested, route-by-route itinerary built around the experience of driving exotic cars through Miami's most rewarding neighborhoods, restaurants, and coastline. Every restaurant has valet, every route is chosen for the drive itself, and every timing detail accounts for Miami traffic patterns.
Whether you book one car for the full trip or swap daily, this schedule works. Total estimated cost for the full three-car experience: $4,500 to $6,200 for the vehicles, plus dining, fuel, and activities.
What Should You Drive on Day 1 from the Airport to South Beach?
Land at MIA and skip the rental car counter entirely. A Lamborghini Urus ($995/day) is the right call for Day 1 because it swallows luggage, seats four comfortably, and still turns every head on the MacArthur Causeway. Monarc VIP delivers the Urus directly to the MIA Rental Car Center or your private FBO. From the airport, take the 836 East to I-395 and cross the MacArthur Causeway into South Beach. This 4-mile bridge gives you the iconic Biscayne Bay skyline on your left and the cruise port on your right. Check into your hotel, drop the bags, and take Collins Avenue south to South Pointe Park for your first golden-hour photos with the car. Dinner tonight is Carbone Miami at 49 Collins Avenue. Reservations fill 2-3 weeks out, so book before your flight. Expect $200-250 per person and valet parking right out front.
Where Should You Drive and Eat on Day 1 Evening in South Beach?
After dinner at Carbone, South Beach opens up for one of the best night drives in Miami. Take Ocean Drive south to 5th Street, then loop back north on Collins. The Urus sits high enough to see over the crowds on Ocean Drive, and the twin-turbo V8 rumble at low speed is part of the atmosphere. Park at the W South Beach or the Setai if you want a rooftop drink. For something more low-key, LIV at the Fontainebleau on 4441 Collins Avenue is a 10-minute drive north and the valet line is practically a car show. Budget roughly 30 miles of total driving for the full evening loop. That is well within the 100-mile daily allowance. Keep the Urus overnight at your hotel valet and plan for a 9 AM start on Day 2.
Why Is the Ferrari F8 Spider the Right Car for Day 2 on the Rickenbacker Causeway?
Day 2 is your driving day, and the Ferrari F8 Spider ($1,695/day) is purpose-built for it. Monarc VIP can swap the Urus for the F8 at your hotel by 9 AM. Start the morning in Brickell with coffee at OTL on 1250 S Miami Avenue, then head south on Brickell Avenue to the Rickenbacker Causeway. This 6-mile bridge to Key Biscayne is the single best open-top driving stretch in Miami: turquoise water on both sides, a $1.75 toll, and almost no stoplights. Cross to Key Biscayne and continue to Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park at the island's southern tip. Admission is $8 per vehicle. Park the F8, walk to the lighthouse, and get content with the car against the Atlantic backdrop. For lunch, drive back across the causeway to Rusty Pelican at 3201 Rickenbacker Causeway. Window tables face downtown and the valet will park the Ferrari prominently. Lunch runs $60-90 per person.
What Should You Do on Day 2 Afternoon with a Yacht Charter and Brickell Nightlife?
After lunch, head to Bayside Marina at 401 Biscayne Boulevard for an afternoon yacht charter. Monarc VIP offers 4-hour charters on Biscayne Bay starting at $1,495 for up to 12 guests. The standard route takes you past Star Island, through the Venetian Islands channel, and south toward Stiltsville for swimming and photos. You will be back at the marina by 5 PM. Drive the F8 south on Brickell Avenue to your hotel, shower, and head to dinner at Komodo at 801 Brickell Avenue. This three-story Southeast Asian restaurant is the see-and-be-seen spot in Brickell. Valet parking is directly on the street, and the rooftop lounge gives you a skyline view. Expect $150-200 per person. After dinner, the Brickell nightlife corridor along South Miami Avenue is a 5-minute walk: Jaguar Sun, Baby Jane, and Astra are all within three blocks.
Why End with a Rolls-Royce Cullinan on Day 3 to Bal Harbour and Coral Gables?
Day 3 calls for something quieter. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan ($1,495/day) is the right finish because it turns the final day into a rolling first-class cabin. Monarc swaps the Ferrari at your hotel by 9 AM. Drive north on Collins Avenue to Bal Harbour Shops at 9700 Collins Avenue. This open-air mall has Chanel, Dior, and Gucci alongside a handful of strong restaurants. Brunch at Makoto inside the Bal Harbour Shops complex is $50-80 per person and worth the stop. If you prefer something more ambitious, continue 10 minutes north to the Surf Club Restaurant by Thomas Keller in Surfside at 9011 Collins Avenue. It is one of the best meals in South Florida, running $125-175 per person for the prix fixe lunch. After brunch, point the Cullinan south for a final scenic loop through Coral Gables. Take Granada Boulevard past the Biltmore Hotel, wind through the tree-canopied streets near Alhambra Circle, and finish at Miracle Mile for a coffee stop before heading to MIA.
How Do You Handle the Airport Drop-Off and Return on Day 3?
Monarc VIP picks up the Cullinan from you at the airport, so you do not need to return it to our Brickell location. Drive to MIA and pull into the departures level curbside. A Monarc fleet specialist meets you at the terminal, does a quick walk-around inspection, and takes the keys. The entire return process takes under 10 minutes. If your flight is in the evening and you want to squeeze in one more stop, the Coral Gables to MIA drive is only 15 minutes via Lejeune Road. Allow 90 minutes before your flight for the car return and TSA. For 3-day rentals, the return delivery fee is waived, so there is no extra charge to hand off at the airport. Your Monarc booking includes free delivery and free return anywhere in Miami-Dade when you book 3 or more days.
What Does the Full 3-Day Exotic Car Itinerary Cost?
Here is a realistic budget for the complete three-car, three-day experience described in this guide. Vehicle costs: Lamborghini Urus for Day 1 ($995), Ferrari F8 Spider for Day 2 ($1,695), Rolls-Royce Cullinan for Day 3 ($1,495), plus two swap fees at $150 each ($300). That brings the car total to $4,485 before tax and insurance. Add collision coverage at roughly $150-250 per day ($450-750) and 7% Miami-Dade tax ($345). Dining across three days at the restaurants listed runs approximately $600-900 per person. The optional yacht charter is $1,495 for a 4-hour afternoon trip. Grand total for the full luxury experience: roughly $7,400-8,000 for one person, or $8,500-9,500 for two.
