From $89 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.
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. Favor to be met inside the terminal under a printed name sign? That indoor meet is an optional add-on at $40.
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 hectic rush hour is close to a single minute. Treat it as a swift 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.
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.
