A private transfer to or from MIA Airport and Hotel St. Michel runs about 15 to 25 minutes by black SUV via the Dolphin Expressway (SR-836), at a flat rate from $80 per vehicle. Your driver tracks the inbound flight and waits curbside, so the ride from Miami International to the Coral Gables landmark is direct, private, and booked at one locked price.
Every fare below is the full price for the whole private vehicle, not a per-person charge, and it stays locked from the moment you book.
Book a private vehicle, send your flight number, and your driver handles the rest from MIA to Hotel St. Michel. Solo travelers, couples, and small families ride in the black SUV, which holds up to 5 passengers and their bags. Groups of six and up take a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van, sized for 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 riders. After you land, the driver meets you at the curb and walks you to a vehicle reserved only for your group — no app and no rideshare queue. Car seats, extra bags, and a small pet can all be arranged when you book. The whole trip is door to door: terminal curb to the hotel entrance in Coral Gables, with one confirmed pickup time you set in advance.
Message us with your flight number, group size, and date, and we confirm the right private vehicle and a driver for your pickup. Booking ahead holds your preferred time. On trip day, the driver tracks your flight and meets you at the MIA curb.
The drive from MIA Airport to Hotel St. Michel takes roughly 15 to 25 minutes in normal conditions. Coral Gables sits close to Miami International, so this is one of the shorter airport runs in the metro area. Off-peak — early mornings, late evenings, and most of the midday window — you land near the 15-minute end. During the morning and afternoon rush, heavier traffic on the connecting roads can stretch the trip toward 25 minutes, occasionally a little beyond on the busiest weekday afternoons. Because the fare is per vehicle, a longer ride in traffic never changes what you pay. Your driver watches live flight data and road conditions to time the pickup, so you are not left waiting at the curb whether you arrive on schedule or a little late.
Hotel St. Michel stands in Coral Gables, the Mediterranean Revival city just south of Miami International. The surrounding district is known for tree-lined boulevards, Spanish-style architecture, and a walkable downtown built around Miracle Mile — a stretch of boutiques, bridal shops, galleries, and sidewalk cafés. Coral Gables blends business and leisure: corporate offices and consulates sit alongside fine-dining restaurants, theaters, and quiet residential streets. The hotel itself is a small historic property with a European character that has long anchored this part of the city. You can explore the area’s shopping, dining, and cultural venues on foot, or use the hotel as a calm base near the airport and the wider Miami area. For full details and current information, see the hotel’s official Coral Gables website.
Yes. Hotel St. Michel is a long-standing boutique property in Coral Gables, known for its early-twentieth-century character, intimate scale, and European styling. It sits within the city’s historic downtown, surrounded by the Mediterranean Revival architecture that gives the Gables its distinctive look and feel.
The hotel sits near Miracle Mile and the surrounding downtown grid, so boutiques, galleries, cafés, and a range of restaurants are an easy stroll away. The Coral Gables area also offers theaters and cultural venues, making it simple to spend an evening on foot without arranging another ride.
Three private vehicles cover this route, and each is reserved for your party alone. Pick by headcount and luggage, then we confirm the rest.
Groups of six or more travel most comfortably in a private Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. The 6-to-9 van suits a single family or small team, while the 10-to-14 van fits a large group with luggage in one vehicle, so nobody splits across cars on the way to Coral Gables.
The flat rate covers the full private ride from curb to hotel door, with no separate line items for the road. Tolls, SunPass charges, and fuel are all built into the price you confirm at booking. Your driver handles the entire trip, and onboard WiFi runs through a mobile hotspot so you can connect on the way. Curbside pickup is included: the driver is ready as you step out of the terminal. Each passenger may bring one checked bag plus one carry-on at no extra charge. If you’d like a driver waiting inside the terminal holding a name sign, that in-terminal meet-and-greet is an optional add-on you can request when booking.
A few optional items sit outside the base fare: an in-terminal meet-and-greet with a name sign, additional child seats beyond the first, and any trip outside daytime hours. Extra or oversized bags may also call for a larger vehicle. Each is confirmed in advance, so there are no surprises on trip day.
Payment is simple and arranged before trip day. You can pay by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, and cash is accepted for nearby, close-in pickups. To hold your booking, you pay a 50% deposit up front; the remaining 50% goes to the driver on the day of the trip. A round trip is straightforward — it costs double the one-way fare, booked as one reservation with both pickups confirmed in advance. Once your deposit is in and your flight number is on file, the pickup is locked, and your driver is assigned for the date and time you chose. There is nothing more to settle at the curb.
You pay half the agreed fare when you book, which confirms your vehicle and driver for the date. The other half is paid directly to the driver on trip day, by an accepted method. The deposit locks the reservation so the vehicle is held only for your group.
Cash is accepted for nearby, close-in pickups. For most prepaid bookings you settle the deposit by Venmo, Zelle, or a secure payment link, then pay the remaining balance to the driver on the day. We confirm which methods apply to your trip when you book.
We run private transfers only, so the vehicle you book carries your group alone. The fare is a flat rate locked at booking — it does not climb during a surge, a holiday, or a slow crawl through traffic. Your driver is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which makes coordination easy from the first message. You reach us directly on WhatsApp to book, adjust a pickup time, or send your flight number, instead of routing everything through an app. The result is one reservation, one confirmed driver, and one price you already know before you land at MIA, with a vehicle reserved for your party from the terminal to Coral Gables.
Yes. You can reserve, change a pickup time, send your flight number, or ask a question directly over WhatsApp. There’s no app to download and no call-center queue — you message a person who confirms your private vehicle and driver for the date you need.
Daytime hours from 7 AM to 9 PM carry no surcharge. Trips that fall outside that window add a small amount on top of the standard fare, by vehicle type.
Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and adjusts the pickup automatically — there’s no charge to re-time a delayed arrival. Whether you land early or hours behind schedule, the driver is ready curbside when you actually exit, so a late flight never means losing your ride or rebooking.
The included pickup is curbside: your driver waits at the terminal curb and is ready as you step outside, having tracked your flight. If you’d prefer a driver inside the terminal holding a name sign, that meet-and-greet is an optional add-on you arrange when booking.
Yes. Each passenger’s standard allowance is one checked bag plus one carry-on, included in the fare. For extra or oversized bags, message us on WhatsApp in advance — we confirm the space or size you up to a larger private van, so the whole group and its luggage travel together.
Small pets are welcome with advance WhatsApp notice and a pet carrier. For children, the first child seat for a little one under 5 is free; any additional seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Tell us your group’s needs in advance and we set up the vehicle accordingly.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person — your entire group rides for the one flat price shown above. A round trip is simply double the one-way fare. Whether one or five passengers ride in the SUV, the price is the same, since you’re reserving the whole private vehicle.
A more coordinated, premium service — flat fare, named driver, flight-tracked pickup — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.
