From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Casa Vieja Lodge in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
Casa Vieja Lodge sits within the Coral Gables region of Miami, a district that was planned from the start around tree-lined boulevards and calm, low-slung streets. That setting is the first thing numerous travelers notice on arrival: the neighborhood feels quiet and residential, yet it keeps you close to the parts of the city people actually come to see. Whether your trip is a run of meetings, a family visit, or merely a base that stays peaceful at the end of the day, the lodge gives you a foothold in one of Miami’s most established corners.
What you locate neighboring is a mix of the well-known and the green. Miracle Mile, the shopping and dining stretch at the heart of Coral Gables, is close at hand, and the historic Biltmore Hotel and the Venetian Pool are part of the same neighborhood. For time outdoors, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is within easy reach, and the University of Miami campus sits neighboring as well. Together they make the region feel complete, so you can eat, walk, and see something worth seeing without going far from where you are staying.
A stay at Casa Vieja Lodge frequently comes with a schedule to keep, and Coral Gables rewards guests who plan their days around it. Appointments across the district tend to run close together, so a set pickup time and a known route matter more than they might elsewhere. Arriving with your ground journey already arranged keeps the first hours of the trip predictable: you land, you are met, and you reach the lodge without improvising, with the neighborhood’s boulevards putting the rest of your plans a short move away.
The ride from MIA to Casa Vieja Lodge is a single door-to-door leg. Your driver tracks the flight, so the pickup follows your actual landing rather than a fixed time; if the plane is late, the whole pickup merely moves with it. After you clear the terminal, the driver meets you on the arrivals level, takes the luggage, and walks you to a vehicle held for your group alone.
From the curb it is one straight run to the lodge, bags loaded and no stops to make. The car is reserved ahead at a flat rate, so the price is settled before you journey. You choose the vehicle by the size of your group and the amount of luggage, and every choice goes directly to Casa Vieja Lodge, with no detours and no waiting for a car to be assigned.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
