From $89 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Hotel Ponce De Leon in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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 desire 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.
Hotel Ponce De Leon stands at 1721 Ponce De Leon Blvd in Coral Gables, one of Greater Miami’s most deliberately planned communities. The address puts you on the boulevard that gives the hotel its name, in a district known for tree-lined streets and a peaceful, residential feel rather than a crowded downtown grid. When your driver pulls up to the entrance, you step out onto a corridor shaded by that canopy of trees, close to the everyday rhythm of the Gables.
The setting is the real draw here. Coral Gables was laid out with its boulevards and landmarks in mind, and Hotel Ponce De Leon sits within simple reach of them. Miracle Mile, the shopping and dining stretch at the heart of the city, is nearby, as is the historic Biltmore Hotel. The Venetian Pool, carved from a coral rock quarry, and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden are both part of the region, and the University of Miami is close by as well.
Once you have checked in, the neighborhood is yours to discover on foot or by a swift ride. Questions about rooms, rates, and on-site amenities belong to Hotel Ponce De Leon’s own official page, so it is worth confirming those details directly with the property. What we handle is the ground transportation side: getting you from the airport to this door, and back again when it is time to leave, with the whole vehicle reserved for your group and no one else along for the ride.
The trip runs door to door, from the arrivals level at Miami International Airport straight to the entrance of Hotel Ponce De Leon. There is no shared vehicle and no waiting in a pickup queue. Your driver tracks the incoming flight, so an early or delayed landing merely shifts the pickup time, and that adjustment costs you nothing. You are met inside the terminal region once you clear it, rather than left to locate the car on your own.
From there the driver takes the bags, loads them into the vehicle, and walks you out to a chauffeured SUV or van reserved for your group. Tolls and fuel are already folded into the flat, per-vehicle rate, so nothing changes between the curb and the door. The whole leg is a single, private ride, with the same driver from the airport all the way to Coral Gables.
