A private ride between MIA Airport and Loews Coral Gables Hotel runs 4.3 miles (6.9 km) in roughly 16–17 minutes along Le Jeune Road (SR-953). You travel in a black SUV or a climate-controlled van with a bilingual driver, for a flat fare starting at $80 per vehicle. That fare is set when you book — no surge pricing and no per-person calculations.
Every price is charged per vehicle and pinned the instant you reserve, so your whole group travels for a single flat figure with tolls and fuel already folded in.
The easiest option is a private door-to-door transfer that collects you curbside and sets you down at the hotel entrance. You book a vehicle matched to your party — a black SUV for up to five, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for six to nine, or a bigger Sprinter for ten to fourteen — and the driver takes it from there. Once you land, the driver is already waiting at the curb, tracking your flight, so you walk out and get straight in. There is no app to launch, no queue to stand in, and no separate pickup spot. The route makes the short run south toward downtown Coral Gables, and the number of bags is matched to your group ahead of time so everyone and everything fits. To reserve, send the WhatsApp number on this page your flight, date, passenger count, and hotel name, and the booking is confirmed with the vehicle held under your name.
Three private tiers handle nearly any party size, and the correct one is picked from passenger and bag counts before your travel day.
Each vehicle is held for your group alone. If your headcount lands right on a boundary or you have extra bags, message us beforehand and we confirm the fit or bump you up to the next size so nobody rides cramped.
Door to door, the trip takes roughly 16 to 17 minutes depending on the time of day. Off-peak — early morning or mid-evening — the 4.3-mile (6.9 km) run toward downtown Coral Gables sits nearer 16 minutes. In the busiest commute windows the same journey grows only a little, because the distance is short and the path mostly steers clear of the worst freeway jams. Since the fare is locked ahead of time, a slower crawl through afternoon traffic never raises the price — you pay the rate agreed at booking no matter how the roads behave. The driver pulls away from the terminal as soon as you and your luggage are aboard, and off-peak that happens within minutes of you reaching the curb. When you are planning a tight connection or a dinner reservation, allow the full 17 minutes and you will seldom need more.
The flat fare pays for the entire private ride, the bilingual driver, and the charges that often catch passengers off guard. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel all sit inside the price — there is no roadside add-on. Flight tracking comes standard, and curbside pickup is the default meet: the driver waits at the curb, ready, as you step out of the terminal. Onboard WiFi runs off a mobile hotspot. Luggage of one checked bag plus one carry-on per passenger is covered, and extra or oversized bags are arranged when you message us in advance so we can confirm space or move up to a larger van.
A handful of items fall outside the base fare. An in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign is an optional paid add-on rather than the standard curbside pickup. The first child seat is free for a child under five; each additional seat carries an extra fee confirmed at booking. Small pets are welcome with advance WhatsApp notice and a pet carrier.
Payment is split so you never hand over everything upfront, and several simple methods work.
Once the deposit clears, the vehicle is booked under your name and the driver is assigned to your flight, so the pickup is arranged well before you touch down.
Daytime hours span 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM with no surcharge. A trip that lands outside that window carries a modest after-hours addition on top of the flat fare:
A private vehicle is set aside for your group alone — never pooled, never sharing the back seat with a stranger. The fare is a flat fare fixed at booking, so traffic, demand, or a late landing never shifts the number you agreed to. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English along with Spanish or Portuguese, which smooths the arrival for international passengers. Flight tracking is built in, so a schedule change never leaves you stranded. Luggage is planned in, not an afterthought: a checked bag and a carry-on per passenger ride comfortably, and we size up the vehicle in advance if you carry more. Communication is direct — a single WhatsApp thread reaches a real person who confirms the pickup, answers questions, and shifts the time if your plans change. The upshot is a calmer arrival with one point of contact from booking to the hotel curb.
Loews Coral Gables Hotel sits at the edge of downtown Coral Gables, a polished district known for Mediterranean-revival architecture, tree-lined boulevards, and a walkable core of upscale shops and restaurants.
The surrounding neighborhood feels corporate and refined — a business hub with consulate offices, banking towers, and law firms sitting beside long-standing fine-dining rooms and sidewalk cafés. The Miracle Mile shopping and dining corridor pulls visitors in for boutiques, bridal salons, and white-tablecloth restaurants, while the wider area is scattered with art galleries, landmark fountains, and historic Spanish-style courtyards. It makes a calmer, more residential counterpoint to the beaches and nightlife districts, favored by business passengers, conference attendees, and couples who want refined surroundings within easy reach of the rest of the city. You can look over the property on the official Loews Coral Gables Hotel listing or browse its Michelin hotel guide page before you arrive.
Nothing changes for you. The driver follows your inbound flight in real time and shifts the pickup to your actual landing, so a delay never costs you the car or the fare. Because the rate is fixed at booking, a late arrival never triggers a higher price.
The standard pickup is curbside: after you collect your bags and leave the terminal, the driver is already waiting at the curb, having watched your flight land. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, that meet-and-greet is an optional paid add-on you can request when booking.
Each passenger gets one checked bag plus one carry-on as standard. The black SUV takes a family’s worth of bags, and the Sprinter vans carry far more. If you have extra or oversized bags, message us ahead of time and we confirm the space or size up to a larger van so everything rides.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group travels for the one flat price shown in the pricing list above, whether that is two passengers or a full van. There is no per-head charge, so a fuller car simply means better value for everyone aboard.
Our private vans cover that “shuttle” search, but as a private ride for your group only — never a shared or scheduled service. The cost is the per-vehicle van rate in the pricing list above, fixed at booking, with tolls and fuel included. Choose the 6-9 or 10-14 tier to match your party.
Public buses and rail do operate in the area, but they mean transfers, waits, and a walk with your luggage. This service skips all of that with a single private vehicle that meets you at the curb and drives the 4.3 miles straight to the hotel door in about 16 minutes.
Yes. Small pets ride with advance WhatsApp notice inside a pet carrier. For children, the first seat is free for a child under five, and each additional seat carries an extra fee confirmed at booking. Tell us ages and pet plans when you reserve so the right vehicle is ready.
