Reserve the car privately and the run between MIA Airport and Hotel St. Michel occupies somewhere between 15 and 25 minutes in a black SUV, tracing the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), on a fare that begins at $80 per vehicle. Your chauffeur follows the arriving aircraft and is already waiting at the curb, which keeps the link from Miami International to this Coral Gables landmark direct and settled at one price.
Read each figure below as the cost of the whole vehicle — never a charge per head — and it stays exactly where it was the day you booked.
Curbside is what the fare buys: the driver, already aware of how your flight is running, holds position at the terminal curb and is set the second you step through the doors. Should you prefer someone standing inside the building with your name on a sign, that meet-and-greet is an optional extra arranged when you reserve.
Live tracking on the inbound flight lets the pickup slide by itself, and re-timing a delayed arrival carries no charge whatsoever. Land two hours behind schedule or an hour early — either way the vehicle is at the curb when you genuinely emerge, and nobody has to rebook anything.
On an ordinary day this journey occupies 15 to 25 minutes. Coral Gables begins only a short way from Miami International, which puts the trip among the briefer airport runs in the metro area. Early morning, late evening, and much of the midday lull tend to deliver you at the shorter end of that band. Once commuters fill the connecting roads, whether at breakfast time or through the afternoon, the drive drifts toward the upper figure and occasionally a little past it on the heaviest weekday afternoons. None of that changes what you owe, because the vehicle is priced as a unit rather than by the minute. Live road and flight data guide when your chauffeur sets off, so an early landing does not leave you waiting and a late one does not leave the car gone.
Three vehicles cover this route and each one carries your group and nobody else. Match the choice to your headcount and your luggage; everything after that is ours to handle.
From six travelers upward, the private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van is the comfortable answer. One family or a compact team fits the 6-to-9 configuration; the 10-to-14 version keeps a large party together with all its luggage, which spares everyone the nuisance of splitting into two cars for the drive into Coral Gables.
There is. The fare already carries one checked bag and one carry-on for each traveler. Beyond that — a golf bag, a stroller, a fourth suitcase — reach us on WhatsApp before travel day and we will either confirm it fits or step you up to a roomier private van, so the whole party and all its belongings move in one vehicle.
A small pet may ride with you, provided it travels in a carrier and you mention it on WhatsApp in advance. For children, the first seat for anyone under 5 comes at no cost, while an additional seat adds a small fee agreed during booking. Flag whatever your group needs ahead of time and the vehicle turns up ready.
One figure covers the whole private ride from terminal curb to hotel entrance, with none of the road costs billed separately afterwards — tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel all sit inside the number you agreed. The chauffeur runs the journey end to end, and a mobile hotspot keeps WiFi available on board should you need to work or message ahead. Curbside collection is part of the arrangement, with the driver in place as you exit. Standard luggage rides free of charge. If being met inside the terminal beside a name sign suits you better, ask for the in-terminal meet-and-greet at booking as a paid extra.
A short list: the in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign, any child seat past the first, and any departure falling outside daytime hours. Luggage that is outsized or unusually plentiful may also call for a larger vehicle. Every one of these is settled in advance, so travel day brings no surprises.
Between 7 AM and 9 PM nothing is added. Outside that band a modest amount joins the standard fare, and the amount depends on which vehicle you have booked.
By the car. The flat figure quoted above moves your whole party, and a return booking is simply that figure twice over. One passenger or five in the SUV makes no difference to the total, because what you are reserving is the vehicle itself.
Money is dealt with before travel day rather than at the curb. Venmo, Zelle, and a secure payment link are all accepted, and cash works for neighboring, close-in pickups. Half the fare goes down as a deposit to secure the reservation; the driver collects the other half on the day. Return travel is straightforward — twice the one-way fare, kept as one reservation with both pickups confirmed in advance. The moment your deposit clears and your flight number is on file, the pickup is fixed and a chauffeur is assigned to the date and time you chose. Nothing further needs sorting when you land.
Half of the agreed fare is paid at the point of booking, and that payment is what commits a vehicle and a chauffeur to your date. The other half is handed to the driver on travel day using any accepted method. Until the balance falls due, the deposit is what keeps the vehicle held for your group alone.
For neighboring, close-in pickups, cash is accepted. On most prepaid reservations the deposit goes through Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and the remaining balance is handed to the chauffeur on the day. We will tell you which options apply to your particular journey at the time you book.
Hotel St. Michel stands in Coral Gables, the Mediterranean Revival city laid out just south of Miami International. Tree-lined boulevards, Spanish-influenced architecture, and a downtown built for walking define the area, with Miracle Mile at its center — a stretch of boutiques, bridal shops, galleries, and cafés with pavement seating. Business and leisure sit side by side here: consulates and corporate offices share streets with serious restaurants, theaters, and blocks of quiet housing. The property itself is a compact historic building with a distinctly European air that has anchored this corner of the city for generations. Guests can cover the shopping, dining, and cultural stops on foot, or simply treat the hotel as a composed base close to the airport and the wider Miami area. Full particulars and current information are on the hotel’s official Coral Gables website.
It is. Hotel St. Michel has been established in Coral Gables for a very long time, valued for its early-twentieth-century character, its small scale, and its European styling. It sits inside the city’s historic downtown, surrounded by the Mediterranean Revival architecture that gives the Gables its unmistakable look.
Miracle Mile and the downtown grid around it are close enough to walk, which puts boutiques, galleries, cafés, and a broad choice of restaurants within easy reach. Theaters and cultural venues operate in the same area, so an entire evening can be spent locally without arranging another car.
Book the vehicle, pass on your flight number, and the chauffeur takes it from there. Solo travelers, couples, and small families use the black SUV, good for up to 5 passengers along with their bags. From six people upward the choice is a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, configured either for 6 to 9 or for 10 to 14. On landing you are greeted at the curb and walked to a vehicle nobody else will share — no app to open, no rideshare line to join. Car seats, extra luggage, and a small pet can each be organized at the point of booking. The whole thing runs door to door, terminal curb to hotel entrance in Coral Gables, at a pickup time you fixed in advance.
Yes — send the flight number, the size of your group, and the date, and we will confirm both the private vehicle and the chauffeur assigned to collect you. Reserving early is what protects your preferred slot. On the day, the flight is monitored and the driver meets you at the MIA curb.
Private work is all we do, so the vehicle you reserve carries your party and no one else. The price is fixed at booking and stays there through a demand spike, a holiday weekend, or a crawl through congestion. Chauffeurs work in English alongside Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths every exchange from the first message onward. Booking, shifting a pickup time, or passing along a flight number all happen directly over WhatsApp rather than through an app. What that produces is one reservation, one named driver, and one number you already knew before landing at MIA — with a vehicle committed to your party from the terminal through to Coral Gables.
It is. Reserving, moving a pickup time, sending a flight number, or asking something specific all work over WhatsApp. Nothing needs downloading and no call center queue is involved — the reply comes from a person who confirms the private vehicle and driver for whichever date you need.
Better organized and more polished — a fixed price, a driver assigned by name, a collection timed to your flight — and the total comes in well below Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
