From $150 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Coral Key Inn 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.
Arrivals at MIA can feel hectic, so the meeting point is simple: the driver, already aware of your landing time from the flight tracking, waits at the arrivals level. The typical curbside greeting costs nothing extra, and the Meet & Greet inside the hall, name sign in hand, is offered for $40. After that, the journey is private and direct.
Coral Key Inn sits in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a small oceanfront village that unfolds just north of Fort Lauderdale. This is one of those rare walkable pockets of the Florida coast, where the beach, the shops, and a quiet place to stay all sit within a simple stroll of one another. When you reach, you are steps from the sand and the everyday rhythm of a town that keeps its focus on the water.
What sets this stretch of coast apart is the reef. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is one of the only places in Florida where you can wade in from the beach and snorkel a living reef, no boat required. That shore-dive reef draws travelers who desire the ocean close and uncomplicated, and it is a short walk from the inn. If you would rather stay dry, Anglin’s Fishing Pier reaches out over the water and makes a simple morning or evening outing.
The village itself rewards wandering. Datura Avenue gathers much of the local life, an unhurried run of places to eat and browse a few blocks back from the surf. El Prado Park is within simple reach when you desire a bit of green and shade between beach hours. Everything here stays close and human-scaled, so you can leave the car behind once you settle in. Coral Key Inn puts you at the center of it, with the reef, the pier, and the shoreline all part of the same short, salt-air walk.
After you land at Miami International Airport, your driver is already tracking the flight and waiting for you once you clear the terminal. There is no line to join and no pin to drop, just a private vehicle held for your group and a hand with the bags out to the curb. Your luggage rides with you, loaded and secured before you pull away, so the journey up to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is one clean, unbroken ride.
From the arrivals level, the driver heads north on I-95, the direct route toward the coast and Coral Key Inn. Traffic on the interstate is the only real variable, and because the pickup follows your actual arrival, an early or late landing merely moves the timing. You settle in, and the driver handles the road, delivering you door to door at the inn without a transfer or a second booking along the way.
