From $110 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Thesis Hotel 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 standard 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.
Thesis Hotel gives you a home base close to the University of Miami and the landmarks of Coral Gables. Travelers book it for work trips and for leisure stays alike, drawn as much by the neighborhood around it as by the room key in hand. Once you have checked in and set down your bags, the day opens onto one of Miami’s most walkable districts, where a short outing puts several of the region’s top-known sights within simple reach.
The setting is Coral Gables, Miami’s Mediterranean-style ‘City Beautiful.’ Its top-known stretch is Miracle Mile, the shopping district at the center of the neighborhood. Close by are two more of the region’s landmarks, the Venetian Pool and the Biltmore Hotel, while the University of Miami sits within the same simple orbit. It is the kind of address where a walk in almost any direction turns up something worth stopping for.
Once you have settled in, Miracle Mile and the Biltmore Hotel are among the closest landmarks to reach first, with the Venetian Pool and the University of Miami also within simple variety. For a stay built around meetings at the hotel, that closeness matters: business days here start and end without a long haul across town, and free hours are simple to fill without much planning. Whatever brings you to Thesis Hotel, the location does a good deal of the work, keeping the top of Coral Gables a short journey from the front door.
Your ride begins the moment you reach the arrivals level at Miami International Airport. Your driver is already there, tracking the inbound flight so the timing follows your actual landing rather than the schedule you first booked. There is no line to join and no app to open — a greeting at the curb, a hand with the bags, and the luggage goes straight into the vehicle reserved for your group.
From there it is a direct run to the front door of Thesis Hotel, the whole vehicle held for your party alone from curb to check-in. Tolls, SunPass, and fuel are already folded into the flat fare, so nothing is added along the way. An early or late arrival changes nothing on your end — the pickup merely moves to match, at no extra charge, and everyone rides together in one car for the single price shown above.
