Coral Gables pulls two very different travelers off the same flights: parents dropping a freshman at the University of Miami, and guests checking into the Biltmore for a weekend that has nothing to do with school. Both get the same $139 flat rate and the same 25-minute drive from MIA - the difference is just where the Suburban stops.
For Biltmore guests, that means the porte-cochere under the Giralda-tower landmark, bags handled at the curb. For UM families, it means a straight run to a dorm loading zone or off-campus apartment near the Gables campus, with room in the back for the plastic bins and mini-fridge that always come with move-in day.
Move-in weekends in August and January run heavier than any other traffic window on this route - dorm loading zones get backed up fast, and a chauffeur who's done the run before knows which entrance actually moves.
How much is a private car from Miami International Airport (MIA) to Coral Gables?
The flat rate is $139 one way in a black Chevrolet Suburban, for up to 6 passengers and 6 large bags. The drive is about 25 minutes over roughly 11 miles. The rate covers the whole vehicle, with tolls included. Gratuity is optional.
Pickup Procedure
Your chauffeur tracks your flight and waits curbside at the arrivals level door nearest your baggage carousel - free for the first 60 minutes at MIA. Families arriving for UM move-in should expect a slightly longer load time given the extra boxes, which the driver builds into the schedule automatically.
Curbside pickup with flight tracking is standard. Meet and greet at baggage claim with a name sign is an optional $199 add-on at checkout.

Frequently Asked
Can you handle a UM move-in day with a lot of extra bags and boxes?
Yes - just mention move-in when booking so we schedule enough room and time for the extra load.
How much is the ride from MIA to the Biltmore Hotel?
$139 flat, about 25 minutes under normal conditions.
Do you know the drop-off procedure at UM dorms?
Yes - your chauffeur is familiar with the loading-zone flow at the main UM residential halls, especially during peak move-in weekends when campus traffic gets congested.
Is this route affected by University of Miami football game traffic?
Home game Saturdays can add delay near campus; if you're traveling on a game day, mention it and we'll build in extra buffer time.
How does payment work?
Payment reserves your date. Book more than 72 hours ahead and a 50% deposit reserves it now; 72 hours before pickup, the balance is charged automatically to the payment method you booked with. Book 72 hours or less ahead and checkout collects the whole fare. There's no card processing fee — that's built into the flat rate — and gratuity is optional.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel 24+ hours before pickup for a full refund. Inside that window, we retain 25% of the fare; no-shows retain 50% of the fare.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes. Infant, toddler and booster seats are $49 each for the first two and $99 each after that, charged once per booking. Round trips and multi-leg bookings add 50% per additional leg. Request them when you book so they are installed before pickup.
Can you meet us inside the airport?
Yes. Curbside pickup with flight tracking is standard. Meet and greet is an optional $199 add-on, chosen at checkout and charged once per booking. Your chauffeur meets you at baggage claim with a name sign, helps with bags, and walks you to the vehicle. It needs your flight number.
