From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Karisma Hotels 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.
Karisma Hotels places you in Coconut Grove, one of Miami’s older and greener neighborhoods, where the high-rises give way to banyan-shaded streets, quiet marinas, and the open water of the bay. The Grove keeps a slower, more walkable feel than the busier parts of the city, and that easy pace starts the moment you reach. Settle in, set down your bags, and you are steps from a corner of Miami built around shade trees, sailing docks, and small streets rather than traffic and towers.
Step outside and some of the area’s top-known landmarks are close at hand. CocoWalk, the Grove’s open-air center of shops, restaurants, and cafes, is among the nearest, an easy place to wander when you desire food or a coffee without going far. A little along the water stands Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, the historic estate whose formal gardens and waterfront terraces have anchored this stretch of Miami for generations, and it remains one of the most photographed spots in the Grove.
There is more green space within easy reach as well. Peacock Park opens toward the water and gives you room to stretch out after a long flight, while the Barnacle Historic State Park preserves one of the oldest homes in the area on grounds shaded by old hardwoods. Between the marinas, the gardens, and the walkable streets, Karisma Hotels sets you down in the part of Miami that trades noise for banyans and boats.
Your transfer runs door to door. The driver tracks your flight, waits for you after you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport, helps with the bags, and walks you to a private vehicle that is yours alone for the trip. There is no line to join and no second stop you did not ask for; you get in, and the drive toward Coconut Grove begins.
From MIA the route follows Northwest 27th Avenue and SR-9 toward the Grove, with your luggage in the vehicle and the whole car reserved for your group. Tolls and fuel are already covered, so nothing is added along the way. Settle in while the driver handles the road, and you are set down right at Karisma Hotels.

I can’t stand the whole rideshare scramble at MIA, so I set up a private car to Karisma Hotels. They kept an eye on the flight, so even though I got in behind schedule, the car was ready and waiting.
I got into Miami late and it was so nice to have my own driver already waiting for me. I liked it enough that I booked the same company for the ride back to the airport. Honestly the smoothest part of my whole trip — everything was handled from the second I landed.
We came to Florida for our anniversary and kicking it off with a private airport pickup was the right move. They kept an eye on the flight, so even though we landed late, the car was right there. Booking was simple, we got a clear confirmation, and everything matched what we were told. Highly recommend.
Llegué a Miami tarde y fue un alivio tener mi propio conductor ya esperándome. El auto estaba impecable, un alivio con el calor de Miami.
Llegando a Miami por mi cuenta, no tenía ganas de la fila de taxis después de un vuelo largo, así que reservé un traslado privado a Karisma Hotels.
