From $100 per vehicle — a private, one-way ride from MIA to Aloft Coral Gables Hotel in a black SUV or van, at a flat rate.
Every price here is fixed to the vehicle and set the instant you reserve, so one number covers the group no matter how traffic or demand shifts.
Clear baggage claim, walk out to the arrivals curb, and the driver is already parked and ready to take the bags — that curbside greeting is part of every booking. If you would rather be found inside at baggage claim, ask on WhatsApp for a name-sign pickup and the driver holds your sign there for an added $20. The exact vehicle you reserved is the one that rolls up, so there is no app to open and no car to hail.
The hotel sits in one of the most walkable pockets of greater Miami. The Coral Gables district runs on Mediterranean-style facades, tree-lined boulevards, and landmark fountains, with Miracle Mile — a strip of boutiques, galleries, and sidewalk dining — a short walk from the lobby. Consulates, corporate offices, and university life lend the region a polished, business-minded feel that reads calmer than the beachfront. Property details live on the Marriott page for Aloft Coral Gables Hotel, and a wider snapshot of the region is on the Greater Miami visitor guide.
This short hop covers 4.3 miles (6.9 km) and lands between 16 and 17 minutes door to door, whether the roads are quiet or busy. LeJeune Road (SR-953) carries you southwest out of the airport and into Coral Gables, and because the path mostly follows surface streets over such a short distance, rush hour adds maybe a minute or two, nowhere near the long delays a longer cross-town trip can pile on. There is no meter running and nothing billed by the minute, so a slower drive never changes the fare.
Pick by head count and luggage, and each tier stays private to your group rather than pooled with strangers. A black SUV takes up to five travelers and suits couples, families, and small business teams. A van steps up for six to nine when the bags multiply, and the largest van seats ten to fourteen for a full group landing together.
Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are already folded into the quoted number, so what you book is what you pay. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot, the driver is bilingual in English plus Spanish or Portuguese, and the typical curbside meet is built in. Luggage room follows the usual one checked bag and one carry-on per traveler; flag anything oversized on WhatsApp and the driver sorts the space or moves you up a size.
Daytime spans 7 AM to 9 PM with nothing added on top. Outside that window a night fee joins the flat fare: $20 on an SUV run that stays inside Miami-Dade or Broward, $50 if it reaches past those counties, and 10% of the trip value on a van. Because Aloft Coral Gables Hotel sits well inside Miami-Dade, an off-hours SUV pickup here lands at the $20 figure.
Payment runs on Zelle, Venmo, or a secure link sent over WhatsApp. Half the fare is due up front to hold the booking, and the rest is handed to the driver on travel day, always priced per vehicle instead of per head. A round trip is just the one-way figure doubled for the same vehicle. Two extras sit outside the base fare — a name-sign pickup and an added child seat, each $20 — and if you want the driver to pause somewhere along the way, an added stop runs $45 per 30 minutes.
Your driver keeps an eye on the inbound flight and slides the curbside pickup to the minute you actually land. A delay or an early arrival is absorbed for you — no rebooking, no second message, and no change to the agreed fare. A storm that pushes your landing back is handled the same quiet way.
Plan on one checked bag and one carry-on per traveler, which fills the SUV nicely for a party of up to five and the van for bigger groups. Moving extra or oversized pieces? Send a WhatsApp note before travel day and the driver confirms the room or assigns a larger van. None of the luggage shifts the per-vehicle price.
It rides with the vehicle, never the passenger, so one flat number covers everyone, from a solo traveler to fourteen people filling the largest van. The rate shown in the pricing section is the total for that vehicle. A round trip doubles the one-way figure, with no per-head charge stacked on top.
Yes — a quick errand or a second drop-off can be worked into the run. Each added stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes and confirmed on WhatsApp before travel day, so the timing stays clear. Left alone, the vehicle heads straight from the MIA curb to Aloft Coral Gables Hotel with no detours.
Both are simple to set up with a heads-up on WhatsApp. Small pets travel inside a carrier, and the first car seat rides free for kids under five, with any seat after that at $20. Share the ages and seat count when you book so everything is fitted before pickup.

Reserving a few days ahead is ideal, and in peak season (holidays, spring break, big cruise weekends) a week or more keeps your first-choice vehicle available. Requests inside 24 hours are welcome but depend on availability, and those bookings are non-refundable once confirmed.
We run on reservations rather than on-demand pickups. A same-day request may still work if a driver is free: message us on WhatsApp with the pickup time and we will confirm quickly. Keep in mind that a ride booked within 24 hours of pickup cannot be refunded.
No. A 50% deposit holds the vehicle when you book online, and the other half goes to your driver on the day of the ride, in cash or by card. If you prefer to settle everything at once, choose Pay in full at checkout.
Yes. After the deposit, the remaining half is paid directly to your driver when the ride is done, cash or card, whichever you prefer. There is nothing else to pay unless you added an extra service.
Cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the pickup. Inside that 24-hour window the ride is non-refundable, and no-shows are treated the same way. Booking details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can still be updated until 12 hours before pickup.
The pickup time and other details can be adjusted until 12 hours before the ride, subject to driver availability; write to us as soon as your plans change. The travel date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Payments run through Stripe over an encrypted checkout; we never see your card number. Card payments carry a 3% processing fee that is shown before you pay. Zelle is also accepted for the deposit with no fee: ask us on WhatsApp.
Not at all. Travelers reserve from all over the world, international cards are accepted at checkout, and we answer on WhatsApp and email in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Yes. Give us the flight number when you book and your driver tracks it in real time, so the pickup follows the actual landing rather than the scheduled one, at no extra cost.
Message us the moment you know. We reschedule around the new arrival whenever a driver is available; because that counts as a change to the booking, the cancellation terms above still apply if the ride cannot be rebooked.
Your driver meets you at the MIA arrivals level at the curb, and that meet-and-greet is included in the fare. If you would rather be greeted inside the terminal with a name sign, add the name-sign welcome for $20 when you book.
You receive the meeting instructions in advance, and the driver contacts you the day before the ride to confirm every detail. On landing, head to the agreed curb; connect to the airport Wi-Fi and message us on WhatsApp if anything is unclear.
The day before the ride we send the driver’s name and phone number, and the vehicle details you need to spot the car. Vehicle photos on the site show the category booked; the exact model can vary.
Call or WhatsApp us at +1 (786) 682-8748 and we connect you right away. The pickup is always coordinated at the confirmed spot, and the courtesy waiting time keeps running from your landing or your scheduled pickup.
At the airport we wait up to 60 minutes after landing on domestic flights and up to 2 hours on international arrivals; at hotels, homes and the cruise port the courtesy wait is 15 minutes. Beyond that, waiting is billed like an extra stop, $45 per 30 minutes.
The distance and the usual driving time for this exact route are listed on this page. Real timing depends on traffic and the hour, which is why the driver plans the pickup around your actual landing or ship arrival rather than a fixed clock time.
Yes. Your driver loads and unloads every bag at the curb. Drivers do not go inside the hotel or terminal to collect luggage, so have it with you at the meeting point.
Each passenger can bring one large suitcase plus one carry-on. The black SUV carries up to 5 passengers as long as passengers plus large suitcases total 10 or fewer; larger groups or extra bags move to a van. Surfboards, bikes or many extra cases need a custom setup, so tell us before booking.
Yes. Add them when you book: a child seat for babies and toddlers up to about 3 years, or a booster for ages 3 to 5. Each seat is $20 and is fitted before the driver leaves for the pickup.
Planned stops are fine when you add them at booking, priced at $45 per 30 minutes with a 30-minute minimum, then $1.50 per extra minute. Unplanned detours on the day are not part of the fare.
Never. Every transfer is private: the vehicle carries only your group, door to door, with no other pickups and no waiting for strangers.
A black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a van for 6 to 9 and a larger van for 10 to 14. The fare table on this page shows the price for each. For groups above 14 we arrange several vehicles or a minibus on a custom quote.
No. We pick up and drop off at Miami International Airport, PortMiami and the other cruise terminals, hotels, private homes, offices and event venues across South Florida and beyond.
Yes. Wedding parties, corporate groups and private events get a tailored quote with the right mix of vehicles; message us with the date, head count and schedule.
Between 9 PM and 7 AM the black SUV adds a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 farther out. The fee is shown in the quote before you book, and daytime rides carry no surcharge.
The fare shown is for the exact route named on this page. For a different pickup or drop-off address, use the ride search on this site: it prices the real road distance instantly and lets you book on the spot.
The fare includes the driver, fuel and tolls, with no hidden fees. Only optional items add to it: the 3% card fee, a name-sign welcome, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Our family of five arrived in Miami, and the driver had the child seat ready — a real relief. The driver took care of the suitcases so we didn’t have to struggle with anything after the flight. The driver dropped us straight at Aloft Coral Gables Hotel.
There were six of us arriving in Miami, and one private transfer to Aloft Coral Gables Hotel was the easy way. Landing after midnight, it was a huge comfort to have a private car already waiting instead of hunting for a ride. There was space to spare for the whole group and everyone’s bags in one van.
With the little ones, pre-booking the airport transfer to Aloft Coral Gables Hotel meant no stress when we landed. With the kids along, it helped that the driver was so easygoing and had the child seat ready. Landing late at night, it was so reassuring to have a private car already waiting instead of a taxi gamble.

Getting all of us out of the airport is usually a headache — one pre-booked van to Aloft Coral Gables Hotel made it painless.
