From $100 per vehicle: a private, door-to-door ride from MIA to Hotel Colonnade Coral Gables, held for your group alone.
Each figure below is the whole-vehicle price for a private one-way transfer, set when you book and tied to the vehicle rather than the head count or the hour you travel.
Pickup happens curbside. Once your bags are collected and the terminal is behind you, the driver is already standing at the arrivals curb, having watched your flight land, and the exact spot is confirmed by WhatsApp after you are on the ground. That curbside greeting is included with every booking. Prefer to be met inside the terminal under a printed name sign? That indoor meet is an optional add-on at $20.
The journey covers about 4.3 miles, roughly 6.9 kilometers, and lands between 16 and 17 minutes door to door. The usual line is the Dolphin Expressway, SR-836, running southwest toward Coral Gables; when the ramps thicken in the late afternoon the driver can switch to Le Jeune Road, SR-953, and reads the traffic live to pick whichever is moving. With the city sitting just southwest of the airport, the distance stays short, so the gap between a quiet mid-morning and a busy rush hour is close to a single minute. Treat it as a quick hop and leave only a small cushion if a timed reservation in town is waiting.
Hotel Colonnade Coral Gables anchors the downtown core of the city that locals call “The City Gorgeous.” The building itself is a restored 1920s rotunda, now a Marriott Autograph Collection hotel, pairing Mediterranean Revival lines with a rooftop pool and a polished lobby. Step outside and the walkable center of the Gables begins — palm-shaded boulevards, boutique storefronts, sidewalk restaurants, art galleries, and Spanish-style civic buildings. One local quirk is worth knowing: the Gables marks its corners with low white stone markers set near the ground rather than tall poles, and most streets carry Spanish names instead of numbers, so send the full street name and keep the city on any address you share. Rooms and rates sit on the official Hotel Colonnade site.
Three private tiers cover the route, and each one is reserved for your party only — nothing shared, no other passengers added along the way. The black SUV seats up to five with their luggage, a relaxing match for a couple, a family, or a small work team. A six-to-nine van gives a larger group room to spread out and stow bags, while the ten-to-fourteen van keeps everyone in one cabin instead of splitting across separate cars. Send your head count and bag count when you book; land between two sizes, and a quick message settles which van suits before you travel.
Payment runs in two simple parts. A 50% deposit confirms the booking, and the remaining half is handed to the driver on the day of the journey. Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link all work for the deposit. The rate is charged per vehicle for the whole group, never per seat, and no surge or demand pricing enters into it — the figure agreed at booking is the figure you pay. Fares here are quoted one-way; a round journey is simply the one-way rate doubled, booked as two legs with the same vehicle so a single driver covers both directions.
Daytime service runs from 7 AM to 9 PM with no surcharge. A pickup scheduled outside that window carries a small late addition — $20 on the black SUV, or 10% of the journey value on the vans. Tolls and fuel already sit inside the fare, so no expressway lane the driver picks adds a cent, and onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot for the ride. A child seat is $20 each and fitted before the driver sets out, so pass the number and the children’s ages when you book. Small pets are welcome with advance notice on WhatsApp and ride inside a carrier. To add a stop along the way, plan on $45 for each extra 30 minutes, agreed before your travel day.
The price is per vehicle, not per person or per seat. Whether two travelers ride or a full van of fourteen, the flat figure listed above is the whole cost. Adding more people to the SUV or van simply lowers what each traveler effectively pays. There is no per-head math tacked on at the curb.
Nothing changes on your side. The driver follows your inbound flight and re-times the pickup automatically, at no extra charge, whether you land early or hours behind schedule. Keep the flight number on the reservation and the vehicle is staged for whenever you actually touch down. A late arrival brings no penalty.
Yes, and booking ahead is the better route. Reserve online or over WhatsApp, share the flight number and your party size, and a black SUV or private van is set aside for your group. Booking early locks the fare and lets the driver track the flight for a curbside meeting. Short-notice requests are taken too, subject to what is free.
No. Every booking is fully private, so the SUV or van carries only the people on your reservation — no strangers, no pooling, no detours to pick up others. There is no fixed timetable; you set the pickup time and the vehicle runs point to point to Hotel Colonnade Coral Gables. Even the fourteen-seat van stays reserved for your group alone.
Each passenger’s first checked bag and one carry-on travel at no added cost. Bringing more, or something oversized like sports gear or a stroller? Send a note on WhatsApp before the journey and the room is confirmed, or the booking moves up to a larger private van. Sorting it in advance beats leaving a case behind at the curb.
Ready to lock in your ride to Hotel Colonnade Coral Gables? Message on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Send your flight number, date, party size, and any child-seat or luggage notes, and a private vehicle with curbside pickup is held for your group.
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.
Flying into Miami for work, I wasn’t up for the taxi line after a long flight, so I booked a private ride to Hotel Colonnade Coral Gables. Landing after midnight, it was so reassuring to have a private car already waiting instead of a taxi gamble. I was picked up right on time, no waiting around.
Traveling alone, I wanted arrival handled coming out of Miami Airport, and this couldn’t have been easier. Honestly the easiest part of my whole trip — arrival was completely stress-free. The driver was bilingual, which made sorting out the details that much easier.
Viajando com os pequenos, eu não ia brigar com táxi em MIA, então reservei uma van privativa até Hotel Colonnade Coral Gables. Sem fila de táxi, sem tarifa dinâmica — saímos e o carro já estava lá. Nosso voo atrasou e o motorista se ajustou sem problema — sem cobrança extra, nada para resolver.
