From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Hotel Ponce De Leon in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
The driver monitors the flight and is at the arrivals level when you walk out, with the curbside meet-and-greet already covered by the fare. Travelers who want the Meet & Greet, a name sign inside the terminal, can add it for $40. Luggage is loaded by the driver and the ride runs private, door to door.
Hotel Ponce De Leon stands at 1721 Ponce De Leon Blvd in Coral Gables, one of Greater Miami’s most deliberately planned communities. The address puts you on the boulevard that gives the hotel its name, in a district known for tree-lined streets and a calm, residential feel rather than a crowded downtown grid. When your driver pulls up to the entrance, you step out onto a corridor shaded by that canopy of trees, close to the everyday rhythm of the Gables.
The setting is the real draw here. Coral Gables was laid out with its boulevards and landmarks in mind, and Hotel Ponce De Leon sits within easy reach of them. Miracle Mile, the shopping and dining stretch at the heart of the city, is nearby, as is the historic Biltmore Hotel. The Venetian Pool, carved from a coral rock quarry, and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden are both part of the area, and the University of Miami is close by as well.
Once you have checked in, the neighborhood is yours to explore on foot or by a quick ride. Questions about rooms, rates, and on-site amenities belong to Hotel Ponce De Leon’s own official page, so it is worth confirming those details directly with the property. What we handle is the ground transportation side: getting you from the airport to this door, and back again when it is time to leave, with the whole vehicle reserved for your group and no one else along for the ride.
The trip runs door to door, from the arrivals level at Miami International Airport straight to the entrance of Hotel Ponce De Leon. There is no shared vehicle and no waiting in a pickup queue. Your driver tracks the incoming flight, so an early or delayed landing simply shifts the pickup time, and that adjustment costs you nothing. You are met inside the terminal area once you clear it, rather than left to find the car on your own.
From there the driver takes the bags, loads them into the vehicle, and walks you out to a chauffeured SUV or van reserved for your group. Tolls and fuel are already folded into the flat, per-vehicle rate, so nothing changes between the curb and the door. The whole leg is a single, private ride, with the same driver from the airport all the way to Coral Gables.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. The first child seat or booster is included on request; each additional one is $20. Extra stops along the way are $45 per 30 minutes.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
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. The first seat or booster is included with your booking, each additional one is $20, and they are 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, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
A group of us flew into MIA and booked one private van from the airport to Hotel Ponce De Leon. It was a private car with no one else to pick up, which made the ride to Hotel Ponce De Leon relaxed. Honestly the easiest part of our whole trip — everything was handled from the second we landed.
Vinimos a Florida de luna de miel y empezar el viaje con una recogida privada marcó la pauta.
Puntual, profesional, y llegamos a Hotel Ponce De Leon en nada. El SUV estaba limpio, fresco y cómodo, y el aire acondicionado perfecto.
My partner and I wanted to skip the airport taxi chaos, so we arranged a private ride to Hotel Ponce De Leon. The driver was a safe, calm driver, exactly what you want after a flight. Our flight came in late and the driver was still there waiting — not a worry at all.
We didn’t want to juggle luggage and kids in a taxi line, so we booked a private car from the airport to Hotel Ponce De Leon. Our flight came in late and the driver was still there waiting — no extra charge, nothing to sort out.
