This is a door-to-door private transfer to or from MIA and Casa Vieja Lodge — roughly 16.8 miles and 24–44 minutes by Don Shula Expressway and SR-874 Toll — reserved ahead at a flat rate from $120 per vehicle, in a reserved SUV with a bilingual driver who tracks your flight.
Prices are set per vehicle for the one-way trip, agreed up front, with tolls and fuel already included.
For Casa Vieja Lodge, a pre-booked private transfer beats a taxi line or a rideshare wait — your reserved SUV and driver are reserved for your arrival.
From the curb it is a single leg along Don Shula Expressway and SR-874 Toll — about 16.8 miles, luggage loaded, straight to the door.
Pick the vehicle by group and luggage; every option is private and goes straight to Casa Vieja Lodge.
Planned around tree-lined boulevards, Coral Gables holds Miracle Mile, the historic Biltmore Hotel, the Venetian Pool, and Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden nearby.
For more on the area, Coral Gables is covered by Greater Miami’s official visitor guide.
We run private transfers only, so your vehicle is reserved for your group and no one else — premium service, not a shared shuttle or a surge-priced app car.
A stay at Casa Vieja Lodge often means a schedule to keep — a flat-rate private car with a set pickup time keeps meetings around Coral Gables tight and predictable.
The ride to Casa Vieja Lodge usually takes 24–44 minutes door to door.
Rush-hour on Don Shula Expressway and SR-874 Toll adds the extra minutes, so the pickup is timed to your actual landing rather than a fixed slot — a delayed flight simply moves the whole pickup.
The area puts you near Miracle Mile, the Biltmore Hotel, with Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and the University of Miami also within easy reach of Coral Gables.
Booking takes a deposit up front, with the balance due on the day of travel.
Plan on about 24 to 44 minutes door to door, depending on traffic. Off-peak is quicker; rush hour is the slower end.
The driver tracks your arrival and meets you after you exit the terminal, helps with the luggage, and walks you to the vehicle.
Figure one checked bag plus a carry-on per passenger in the SUV; the vans hold more. Message us in advance for oversized or extra bags and we confirm the right vehicle.
It is the flat per-vehicle rate listed above — a private van, not a shared shuttle. A round trip is simply double the one-way price.
Yes. A return is booked the same way and priced at double the one-way fare, with the return pickup arranged for your date and time.
For very early or late departures, a small after-hours surcharge applies:
Booking ahead buys predictability an app cannot. The price to Casa Vieja Lodge is agreed up front and never surges the way an Uber or Lyft fare does at a busy hour, and the car is held for your group rather than assigned at the curb.
If the flight runs late, we re-time the pickup at no charge, where an app would have you request a new car and pay again. One booking, one coordinated pickup, and a total that usually lands well under a peak-hour rideshare fare.

We recommend booking a minimum of 24 hours before your trip. During holiday periods and packed weekends, the earlier you reserve, the more likely we’ll have a vehicle open for you.
Yes indeed — guests from any country are welcome to reserve. Overseas payments are no problem, and we stay in touch with you by WhatsApp and email throughout.
Not really — every trip has to be set up in advance. Try to give us four hours’ notice or more, because same-day slots can’t be guaranteed.
Yes. Putting down a deposit holds your spot: pay 50% on trips under $199 USD, or 30% once the fare reaches $200 USD and above.
You can’t cover the whole fare that way — first lock in your car with a 50% deposit through our payment link or Zelle, and then pay the remaining balance in cash when the driver shows up.
Far from it — aside from airports, we also pick up at hotels, ports, train stations, restaurants, and private homes.
We run SUV XLs suited to smaller groups, vans with 12 and 14 seats, and large buses holding 40 to 54 passengers for big occasions.
Absolutely — whether it’s a wedding, a corporate conference, a VIP gathering, or any other special event, we’ve got it covered. Contact us for a custom quote.
A number of our cars are equipped with Wi-Fi and USB charging. Let us know in advance that you’ll need these, and we’ll match you with the right vehicle.
No — all of our transfers are private. The car is reserved solely for you and your party, so you’ll never sit with other passengers.
Relax — we monitor your flight in real time and adjust the pickup accordingly, with no extra charge.
Simply share the updated information as soon as possible, and we’ll revise your reservation while keeping an eye on the new flight.
By default we do curbside pickup. Send us a text with your exit gate and your driver will be there in just a few minutes — faster than the traditional sign-holding wait.
Would you rather have a driver holding a name sign inside the terminal? That option is available for US$ 20.
One day before your trip, you’ll receive a message from us listing the driver’s name, the car model, and the plate number, plus complete instructions for the curbside meeting point.
Don’t panic — the instant your plane touches down, we’ll send you a text. Should you not reply soon, your driver will make their way to the international arrivals hall. Just stay put there and we’ll come to you; no one is ever abandoned.
Domestic flights: up to 60 minutes after you land
International flights: 120 minutes of complimentary waiting
Hotel pickups: a 15-minute grace period
Port pickups: up to 60 minutes past the scheduled time
This is an unusual situation, because two hours of free waiting are built in already. Remaining in the airport beyond that point may be treated as a no-show. Extra waiting can be purchased — US$ 30 per additional 30-minute block, paid directly to the driver in cash.
Definitely — your driver is happy to help you with your bags.
Each person is allowed one large suitcase along with a single carry-on as standard. Planning to bring extras — additional bags, musical instruments, mobility equipment, or strollers? Tell us ahead of time so we can get ready; there may be an additional fee.
Yes — we happily accept small pets provided they remain in a secure carrier. Do let us know beforehand.
For children under five, one child car seat comes at no charge. Want more than one? Ask for it while booking; every extra seat is US$ 15.
Please refrain from eating on board. The sole beverage permitted is water in a sealed bottle.
Spontaneous stops aren’t covered by the standard fare, though a short, nearby one set up beforehand can be included. The additional time might carry a small charge.
Yes, of course. Give us a minimum of 24 hours’ notice and, if space allows, we’ll shift your pickup to a new time.
What we quote is precisely what you’ll be charged. A gratuity for the driver is completely optional, though always welcome.
Cancellation Policy: For any ride booked, once it hits 24 hours or less it is non-refundable. More then 24+(anticipation) full refund.
