A private transfer handles the 4.3 miles (6.9 km) between MIA Airport and the Biltmore Hotel Miami – Coral Gables in roughly 16–17 minutes, riding in a black SUV or a climate-controlled private van for a flat fare starting at $80 per vehicle. The route heads south along LeJeune Road, and we run door to door in either direction — to or from MIA Airport and the Biltmore Hotel Miami – Coral Gables — with a bilingual driver at the wheel.
Every fare is charged per private vehicle rather than per passenger, and the rate is fixed the instant you book.
The most hassle-free route to the Biltmore Hotel from MIA is a private transfer. You book a single black SUV or private Sprinter van for your party, pass along your flight number, and your driver takes care of everything else. Once you have landed and grabbed your luggage, the driver is already waiting at the curb, ready to load bags and drive you directly to the Coral Gables entrance — no app to open, no taxi queue, no shared stops on the way. The SUV works well for couples and small families of up to five; the private van holds larger groups of six to nine or ten to fourteen. Each journey is direct and reserved solely for your group, so you never detour to pick up or drop strangers. It is one continuous journey, curb to door, terminal to the Coral Gables entrance. To lock it in, send your details over WhatsApp or email and we secure your vehicle and pickup time immediately.
Our fleet is private only, so a vehicle is always reserved exclusively for your group. The black SUV (or SUV XL) is the default choice for up to five passengers with luggage — a natural fit for couples, small families, and business travelers. When the party grows, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van comfortably seats six to nine with space for bags. Larger groups can reserve the bigger Sprinter van for ten to fourteen passengers, keeping the whole party together in one vehicle. Whatever tier you pick, the trip stays direct and exclusive to your group, climate-controlled, and fitted with onboard WiFi. Just tell us your headcount and luggage at booking and we match you to the right size — stepping you up to a larger van if your group or bags need more room.
The trip spans 4.3 miles (6.9 km) and runs about 16 to 17 minutes door to door. Off-peak — early mornings, mid-mornings, and calmer evenings — you should arrive at the Biltmore in around 16 minutes. In peak windows, when morning and late-afternoon commuter traffic thickens near the airport and Coral Gables, that same brief hop stretches nearer to 17 minutes. Since the distance is so short, even dense traffic tacks on only a minute or two instead of the long delays you would hit on a cross-county run. Your driver knows the local grid and picks the quickest line on the day, adapting as conditions shift. On a ride this short, it is less about shaving minutes and more about a smooth, direct hand-off from terminal to hotel.
Early mornings and mid-day usually see the least traffic, while the window around morning arrival peaks and the late-afternoon commute draws the most cars near the airport and Coral Gables. Because the trip is short, that gap is small, but an off-peak pickup is the smoothest of all. We map your route for the day.
Your driver greets you curbside at the MIA arrivals terminal, standing by at the curb as you walk out with your luggage — the included pickup is curbside, and there is no app to open. Would you rather be met inside? Add an optional in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign at booking, for an added fee.
Not a problem — your driver follows your inbound flight in real time and shifts the pickup automatically, at no added cost. If the flight runs late, there is nothing to re-book; the driver just meets you whenever you truly land. Simply be sure your flight number is on the reservation.
Three things distinguish our service. First, the fare is a flat fare fixed at booking — it never shifts for traffic, time of day, or demand, so the figure you see is the figure you pay. Second, your driver is bilingual, speaking English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which makes arrival and directions effortless for international passengers. Third, booking and support happen over direct WhatsApp, so a real person confirms your pickup and answers questions before and during the ride. You also get a clean, professional black SUV or private Sprinter van held solely for your group. The upshot is a calmer, better-coordinated arrival than cobbling together transport after you land — one reservation, one driver, one fixed price for the whole group to the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables.
Each driver is bilingual — English plus Spanish or Portuguese. For international passengers landing at MIA, that means clear communication about your pickup, your destination, and whatever you need on the way, with no language barrier holding up your arrival at the Biltmore.
Every transfer is all-inclusive under one flat per-vehicle rate. The price covers tolls, SunPass, and fuel, so nothing gets tacked on for the roads we drive. Each vehicle carries onboard WiFi via a mobile hotspot, and your standard luggage allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger. The bilingual driver and the private vehicle held for your group are part of the rate as well. Climate control is standard in both the black SUV and the private Sprinter van. Anything past the standard allowance — extra or oversized bags — is easy to sort out: message us on WhatsApp ahead of time and we confirm space or move you up to a larger van. A handful of items carry small extra charges, which we keep transparent and confirm when you book, so nothing surprises you on trip day.
Most trips have no extras whatsoever. An optional in-terminal greeting with a name sign is available for an added fee. A second child seat beyond the first carries a small fee, and trips outside daytime hours add a night surcharge. Extra or oversized bags may call for a larger vehicle. Each of these is confirmed at booking.
Small pets are welcome with a bit of planning. Let us know on WhatsApp ahead of time and bring your pet in a proper carrier, and it can ride along to the Biltmore with you. Giving us advance notice ensures the right vehicle and a comfortable trip for everyone aboard.
Yes. The first child seat for a child under five is free, and we install it before pickup when you let us know a child is riding. Each additional child seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Just share your children’s ages and seat needs when you reserve.
The standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger, and both the black SUV and the private Sprinter van offer generous cargo room. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Message us on WhatsApp ahead of time and we will confirm space or move you up to a larger van so everything fits.
Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 9 PM carry no additional charge. For trips falling outside those hours, a modest night surcharge is added to the base fare.
Paying is simple and flexible. We take Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and cash is fine for nearby, close-in pickups. To confirm a booking, you put down a 50% deposit upfront, then pay the remaining 50% to your driver on the day of travel. The fare is per vehicle, so the whole group rides for a single price rather than paying per seat. No hidden processing charges get added at the end. Once your deposit is in, your vehicle, driver, and pickup time are locked for your flight. If your plans change, message us on WhatsApp as early as you can and we will do our best to adjust. Splitting payment between deposit and drop-off gives you flexibility while securing the reservation for your arrival at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables.
A round trip is billed as exactly double the one-way fare — there is no separate return price to work out. You pay the 50% deposit to reserve both legs, then the balance to your driver. Booking both directions together also guarantees a vehicle for your departure back to MIA.
The price is per vehicle, not per person — your whole group rides for the single flat fare shown in the prices list above. Whether one passenger or five fill the SUV, the fare stays the same. That makes a private transfer particularly good value for families and small groups.
Yes — when people look up a “shuttle,” our private Sprinter van is the answer. It is fully private to your group, never shared or pooled with strangers, and priced per vehicle at the flat fare listed above. For six to fourteen passengers, it keeps everyone together on one direct ride.
Yes. Rather than connecting buses, trains, or a tram from the airport, our private transfer carries you straight from the MIA curb to the Biltmore’s door with no transfers, no stops, and no waiting between connections. Your luggage stays with you the entire way. One vehicle, one direct trip, door to door.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

The Biltmore Hotel is a 1926 Mediterranean-revival landmark in Coral Gables, immediately recognizable by its tall central tower modeled on a Spanish cathedral. The resort grounds include a championship golf course, one of the largest hotel pools in the country, a spa, and grand colonnaded courtyards used for weddings and events. Surrounding it is Coral Gables itself — a leafy, planned “City Beautiful” district of coral-stone arches, fountains, and canopy streets. Just beyond the hotel are the boutiques and restaurants of the Gables shopping and dining corridor and a walkable downtown business district. You can learn more about the historic Biltmore resort and its Coral Gables setting before you arrive. The neighborhood feels calm and residential, a quieter contrast to the busier coastal districts farther east.
Guests stay occupied without wandering far. The resort itself offers golf on its historic course, tennis, a spa, and poolside dining. Head into surrounding Coral Gables and you will find tree-lined shopping streets, art galleries, cafes, and Spanish-influenced architecture worth a slow stroll. The wider area leans toward upscale dining, culture, and green public spaces rather than nightlife.
Coral Gables ranks among Miami’s more pedestrian-friendly districts. The sidewalks are wide and shaded, the blocks are short, and the main shopping and dining corridor is easy to explore on foot from the Biltmore’s neighborhood. Even so, the area is spread out, so many guests still prefer a private vehicle for trips beyond the immediate Gables core.
