From $100 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to the Courtyard by Marriott Miami Coral Gables, about 4.3 miles by SUV or van.
Each figure below buys the whole vehicle rather than a seat, and it locks the instant your booking is confirmed — one total carries a solo traveler or a full party of fourteen, whatever the day does to traffic or demand.
Curbside collection outside your arrival terminal is the standard, and it comes inside the flat rate. Once you clear baggage claim and step out with your suitcases, the driver is already parked and ready to load. Share your flight number and terminal letter when you reserve, and the meeting point is pinned to the exact door you use. There is no rideshare app to summon, no line to stand in, and no shared van looping past other gates to scoop up unrelated passengers first.
A delayed landing changes nothing on your end. The inbound flight is tracked live, and the curbside meeting slides to the actual time you touch down, earlier or later than the ticket promised. Skip the phone call, skip the rebooking, and expect no penalty added — the vehicle is simply timed to the minute you walk out of the terminal.
The Courtyard by Marriott Miami Coral Gables stands about 4.3 miles (6.9 km) from the terminals, and the run takes roughly 16 minutes when the lanes are open, closer to 17 at the busier end of the day. Most of it travels the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) before dropping south into the Gables grid. The hotel address, 2051 S Le Jeune Rd, sits on SR-953 — the north-south avenue running the eastern flank of the airport — which is why a Coral Gables address can still read as airport-adjacent on the map. Since the fare is fixed at booking, a slower stretch only moves the clock, never the price.
Coral Gables was drawn up as a planned city in the 1920s, and it still shows: Mediterranean-style facades in coral rock, avenues roofed by banyan canopy, and a compact, walkable downtown southwest of the airport. The Courtyard by Marriott Miami Coral Gables keeps business travelers within easy reach of the Gables corporate district while the streets around it hold a low-rise, residential calm — a quieter base than Brickell or the beaches, yet minutes from both. Miracle Mile and its sidewalk cafes are a short walk off. Room types, live rates, and on-site details are laid out on the hotel’s Marriott listing, and it is worth checking live room availability before you lock the transfer time.
The vehicle leaving the airport belongs to your reservation alone — never pooled, never diverted to collect other passengers. Three private tiers cover the run: the Black SUV seats up to 5 with bags, a van takes 6 to 9, and a bigger van holds 10 to 14 travelling as one group. Drivers work in English alongside Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the hand-off when you land tired, and a real person answers on WhatsApp before and during the trip. On a hop this short, that coordination is what keeps the curbside pickup calm and the drop-off at the lobby unhurried.
Your fare covers the private car itself, a bilingual driver, and the full door-to-door run, with meet & greet already part of the curbside pickup. Fuel, tolls, and SunPass are folded into the number, so nothing is settled on the road, and WiFi runs off an onboard mobile hotspot the whole way. Favor to be found inside the building? A name-sign pickup at the baggage hall can be added for $20. A child seat is $20 when you request one at booking, and extra stops along the way run $45 per 30 minutes, arranged in advance. The rate is billed per vehicle for the whole party, not per person.
A 50% deposit at booking holds the vehicle and your pickup slot; the remaining 50% is handed to your driver when you travel. You can pay by Zelle, Venmo, or a secure link that arrives on WhatsApp or the booking site. Every fare shown is one-way, so a round trip is simply that one-way figure doubled for the return — reserve both directions together and a single driver and pickup time cover each end.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. Outside that window a modest premium applies: the SUV adds $20 for trips inside the Miami-Dade and Broward area — where this Coral Gables route sits — and $50 once a journey reaches beyond those two counties, while the vans add 10% of the trip value. The premium is flagged up front whenever a booking falls outside daytime hours, so nothing surfaces as a surprise at the curb.
No. The fare is locked the moment you confirm, so a congested Dolphin Expressway or a crowded terminal exit only shifts the clock, not the total. A 17-minute afternoon run costs exactly what a 16-minute morning run costs. The one-way figure you agreed to is the figure you pay, with no traffic or demand line added later.
Plan on one checked bag plus a carry-on for each traveler, a load the Black SUV or a van handles effortlessly. Arriving with oversized cases or more bags than seats? Send a WhatsApp note before the day so the space is confirmed or a larger van is assigned. The only misstep is arriving at the curb with a surprise load the car was never sized for.
A small pet can ride along as long as it travels in a proper carrier and you mention it on WhatsApp ahead of the day. Noting the pet at booking lets the driver and vehicle be set for it before pickup, so nothing has to be sorted out at the terminal curb.
Yes. Rather than pausing in the traffic lanes of Le Jeune, the driver swings off SR-953 into the hotel’s private entrance drive and stops right at the door. Bags come off at the lobby instead of along a busy Gables through-road, so the last few steps of the ride land you right where you are staying.
Ready to lock your private MIA transfer to the Courtyard by Marriott Miami Coral Gables? Message the flight number, arrival date, group size, and direction on WhatsApp at 786-682-8748, or call 786-682-8748, and your vehicle and flat rate are confirmed.
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.
Reunión familiar en Miami, nuestro grupo, reservé online y me confirmaron rápido.
We came to Florida for our anniversary and starting the trip with a private airport pickup was the right move. The ride to Courtyard by Marriott Miami Coral Gables Hotel was smooth and comfortable the whole way.
So glad we pre-booked. No taxi line, clean car, and a great driver. The driver was in a sharp, clean car, exactly what you want after a flight.
Traveling alone, I wanted arrival handled coming out of Miami Airport, and this couldn’t have been easier. Booking was easy, I got the pickup details in writing, and everything matched what I was told. The driver dropped me straight at Courtyard by Marriott Miami Coral Gables Hotel.
There were seven of us landing at MIA, and one private transfer to Courtyard by Marriott Miami Coral Gables Hotel was the easy way. The ride to Courtyard by Marriott Miami Coral Gables Hotel was calm and hassle-free. They tracked the landing, so even though we got in behind schedule, the car was ready and waiting.
