From $100 per vehicle — a private one-way ride from MIA to Hotel St. Michel in Coral Gables, flat rate, driver waiting at the curb.
Each figure below is the price of the whole vehicle rather than a seat, locked the moment you reserve and untouched by traffic, demand, or the hour you land. Pick the tier that fits your party.
Collect your bags, walk out of your terminal at Miami International, and the driver is already at the curb — no app to open and no taxi line to stand in. Your inbound flight is followed in real time, so an early touchdown or a delayed one merely moves the pickup to match, with nothing to rebook. A curbside greeting comes with every booking; if you would rather be met inside the terminal beside a name sign, that add-on is $40 and you ask for it when you reserve. Send the flight number and arrival time, and holding the schedule together becomes the driver’s job instead of yours.
The hotel sits about 3.9 miles (6.2 km) from the terminal, so most days the run takes 15 to 25 minutes — among the quicker airport hops in the metro area. The usual line follows the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836) south toward the Gables, and only the heaviest weekday afternoons nudge you toward the upper end of that band. Because the fare is fixed when you book, a slow crawl through rush hour never changes the total. The same private car covers the trip back the other way as a one-way leg, or both directions when you reserve a round trip.
Hotel St. Michel takes up a small corner of downtown Coral Gables at 162 Alcazar Avenue, in the Mediterranean Revival city planned just south of Miami International. It is a compact, historic building with a European feel that has held its place here for generations, so the driver draws up right at the entrance and there is no long hotel driveway to loop through at the end. Step outside and Miracle Mile is a short walk off — a stretch of boutiques, galleries, and sidewalk cafés — with theaters, restaurants, consulates, and corporate offices filling the streets nearby. For rooms, rates, and current details, see the hotel’s official Coral Gables site.
The quoted price already carries the road — SunPass tolls and fuel are built in — and every vehicle runs onboard WiFi from a mobile hotspot. A 50% deposit holds your car and driver for the exact date and time you choose; the balance goes to the driver on travel day by Zelle, Venmo, or a secure link sent with your confirmation. A child seat is $20, and a small pet rides with advance notice on WhatsApp in a proper carrier. Need the driver to add a stop along the way? Extra time runs $45 per 30 minutes, agreed before you travel. Pricing is per vehicle for the whole group, and each leg is charged one-way — reserve both directions and a round trip is merely twice the single fare.
Pickups scheduled between 7:00 AM and 9:00 PM carry no surcharge. Outside that window a small after-hours amount applies, set by vehicle:
The fare is set the moment you reserve and never moves for demand, a holiday weekend, or a slow stretch of traffic. Your bilingual driver — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — handles the route and your bags, which steadies the first hour in an unfamiliar city. Because the car belongs to your group for the run, you share it with no one and stop for no one between the MIA curb and Hotel St. Michel. Instead of refreshing an app, you reach a real person on WhatsApp before and on the day you travel.
Yes. The driver follows your inbound flight in real time, so a delay just shifts the curbside pickup to your actual landing — nothing to rebook and no extra charge for the wait. If your plans move once you are on the ground, a quick WhatsApp message keeps the timing in step. Whether you touch down early or hours behind schedule, the car is there when you reach the curb.
It is per car, not per head. The whole group travels on the single fare shown above, whether two people take the SUV or a full van rides together. Split among the passengers, a private ride is usually the most economical way for a family or team to reach the Gables. Each direction is billed one-way, so a round trip is just the single fare doubled.
Yes to both, with a heads-up when you book. A child seat is $20 and is fitted before pickup once you share your child’s age. A small pet travels in a proper carrier with advance notice on WhatsApp, so the right vehicle is assigned. Flag either need ahead of travel day and the car turns up ready.
It is. Miracle Mile and the downtown grid around it sit a short walk from the door, which puts boutiques, galleries, cafés, and a wide choice of restaurants within easy reach. Theaters and cultural venues share the same blocks, so an evening out rarely calls for another car. That walkability is part of what makes the St. Michel a peaceful base after the ride in from MIA.
Ready to lock in your private ride to Hotel St. Michel? Message or call on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or phone 786-682-8748. Send your flight number, arrival time, and group size, and we’ll confirm your vehicle and fix your fare.
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. 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, 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.
The two of us flew into Miami for our anniversary and had a driver waiting the moment we reached arrivals. The driver was clearly experienced, exactly what you want after a flight.

Traveling with our two kids, I was NOT about to wrangle a taxi at MIA, so I booked a private van to Hotel St. Michel. They kept an eye on the flight, so even though we got in behind schedule, the car was ready and waiting.
