From $600 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Orlando and Aloft Coral Gables Hotel covers 246.7 miles (397 km) in about 4.1 hours, riding a chauffeured Black SUV or climate-controlled van for a flat rate. Your bilingual driver runs Florida’s Turnpike door to door — no rental counter, no parking, no tolls to fumble.
Each fare below is per vehicle, locked at booking, and covers the whole group with highway tolls and fuel built in.
Book one private vehicle and a single chauffeur handles the whole long-distance run door to door. You select the size by headcount: a Black SUV for up to five, a private Sprinter van for six to nine, or a larger private van for ten to fourteen. Pickup happens at your agreed Orlando-area address — a resort lobby, a vacation rental, or an airport curb — and the same vehicle stays with you until the South Florida door. One brief comfort stop for a restroom or a snack is easy; just tell the driver, and it does not change your fare. To reserve, message us on WhatsApp with your date, pickup spot, passenger count, and bag count, and we confirm the vehicle that fits. The trip works the same way in reverse, from Coral Gables back up to the theme parks and resorts.
Three things define the ride: a private vehicle held for your group, a bilingual driver, and a fare locked the moment you book. No one else shares your SUV or van — the seats, the trunk, and the schedule are yours, which matters with kids and a stack of park bags. Your driver speaks English plus Spanish or Portuguese, so directions, stops, and questions are easy either way. The price is set at booking and does not move for traffic, demand, or the time of day, so a long Friday backup costs exactly what a quiet Tuesday does. One chauffeur stays with you for the entire drive — no driver swaps, no waiting for a reassignment halfway down the state. You book and reach a real person directly by WhatsApp, who confirms your vehicle, your pickup, and your timing.
Plan on about 4.1 hours from Orlando to Aloft Coral Gables Hotel in normal conditions. The route follows Florida’s Turnpike for most of the 246.7-mile corridor before reaching Coral Gables. Off-peak mornings move rapidly; weekday rush windows around the metro areas, heavy holiday weekends, and big theme-park event days can stretch the clock by an hour or more. Your driver watches live traffic and picks the cleaner lane, so you reach without managing the route yourself. That makes timing predictable for a flight, a cruise check-in, or an early park entry — you build the schedule around a known arrival window rather than a meter that climbs with every mile. If your day is tight, share the target time when you book and the pickup is set with margin to spare.
Aloft Coral Gables Hotel is a contemporary hotel in one of South Florida’s most polished neighborhoods, known for Mediterranean-style architecture, tree-lined avenues, fountains, and upscale dining. The Aloft Coral Gables Hotel sits within easy reach of the city’s shopping promenade, cafes, galleries, and golf, and the wider Miami area spreads out from there. For more on the setting, browse this neighborhood guide. Whether you are arriving from the parks for a city stay or heading back north afterward, the area pairs a relaxed, walkable core with swift access to the rest of Greater Miami.
The hotel anchors the Coral Gables core, with its retail promenade and dining district close by. From there the surrounding parts of Greater Miami open up — downtown Miami, the Brickell district, and the Coconut Grove waterfront are all part of the same metro fabric. The neighborhood feels calm and residential while staying connected to the busier city.
Coral Gables leans toward boutiques, sidewalk cafes, art galleries, and landmark fountains, with leafy parks and historic architecture to wander. The promenade fills with restaurants and shops, and the broader Miami area adds museums, waterfront views, and cultural districts. It suits a group that wants a polished, walkable base after the theme parks rather than a fast-paced strip.
Your flat fare covers the vehicle, the chauffeur, and the costs that usually nickel-and-dime a long drive. The highway tolls, SunPass, and fuel are all built into the price, so there is nothing to settle on the road. Onboard WiFi runs from a mobile hotspot, which keeps the kids streaming and the adults checking flight or cruise updates across the whole trip. A bilingual driver — English plus Spanish or Portuguese — handles the navigation and the bags. Typical luggage rides at no extra cost, and anything outside that is a swift WhatsApp conversation before travel day. What the rate does not feature are park tickets, hotel rooms, and meals; we are the ground transfer that gets your group to the door, not a package seller.
Departures outside the 7 AM to 6 PM daytime window add an after-hours surcharge. Beyond the first child seat, each additional seat carries a small fee confirmed when you book. Extra or oversized bags may move you up to a larger van. Every one of these is settled before travel day — never a surprise at the curb.
Small pets are welcome with advance notice. Send us a WhatsApp message before your date and bring the pet in a carrier, and your private vehicle is ready for it. Letting us know early means the driver and the vehicle are set up for your companion from the start of the run.
Yes. The first child seat for a little one under five is included at no extra cost, so families traveling with a toddler are covered. Each additional seat carries a small fee confirmed at booking. Tell us how many seats you need and the ages, and they are installed and waiting at pickup.
Families who get through a very early departure smoothly tend to do the same three things. They pack and close every case the night before, so the morning is only bodies moving. They bring the little ones down in what they slept in, with clothes in a bag for later. And they hand me a blanket each for the back row. Children who are carried out half-asleep usually go straight back under once the vehicle is rolling, and the first hour of the drive passes without anyone noticing it.
Pick the vehicle by headcount and bag load; every tier is private and reserved for your group alone for the trip to or from Orlando and Aloft Coral Gables Hotel.
Not sure which line up fits? Send your passenger and bag count on WhatsApp and we match you to the right size before you pay.
Payment is split simply so your seat is locked early and the rest waits until trip day.
Daytime pickups between 7 AM and 6 PM carry no surcharge. Trips that depart outside that window add a modest amount so a driver can run the early or late hours.
These are the questions families and groups send most often before booking the Orlando–Coral Gables run. Each answer states the real detail inline — luggage, pickup spots, round-trip cost, and more — so you can plan the whole trip from this page.
Every passenger gets one checked bag plus one carry-on, and the SUV or private van is sized to match its seat count. Traveling with extra or oversized bags? Send us a WhatsApp message before your date and we confirm the space or move you up to a larger van so nothing gets left behind.
Yes. Daytime hours run 7 AM to 6 PM with no surcharge, and we schedule pickups inside that window or earlier. A pre-7 AM departure simply carries a small after-hours surcharge. Tell us your target gate or flight time and we set the pickup so you roll up unhurried with time to settle in.
The rate is per vehicle, not per person, so your whole group rides for the one flat price listed above. A family of four and a group of nine each pay the single vehicle fare for their tier. Nothing changes if you fill the seats. A round trip is simply double the one-way.
We pick up at any Orlando-area address: resort lobbies, vacation rentals, Orlando International, or Sanford airport curbs. Give us the exact spot plus your flight or arrival time, and your chauffeur meets you there to start the door-to-door run south to Coral Gables. The same applies for the return leg back north.
Yes. Book both legs together and the return is held at the same per-vehicle rate — a round trip is just double the one-way fare. Reserving the pair locks one dedicated vehicle and driver for your outbound and return dates, so your seats are set well before you travel.
Our core run links the Orlando area and South Florida, and we also handle private point-to-point ground transfers. For a Port Canaveral pickup or drop, message us on WhatsApp with your date, party size, and exact addresses, and we confirm the right private vehicle and the rate for that route before you book.
A more coordinated, premium service end to end — flat fare, named driver, one dedicated private driver for the entire Orlando-to-South-Florida drive — at a significantly lower total cost than Uber Black or Lyft Lux.

Guests staying several nights sometimes desire a supermarket or a pharmacy before the hotel rather than a separate errand afterwards. Raise it when you book, not at the end of the drive — if it fits the run I can tell you so in advance, and if it does not you have time to plan around it instead of finding out with the bags already in the back.
Send your travel date, pickup address, passenger count, and bag count, and we confirm the vehicle and lock your flat rate. A 50% deposit holds the reservation; the rest goes to your driver on trip day. Reach out by email or WhatsApp and a real person answers — book the outbound and return together to keep both legs at the same rate.

Yes. The payment required to confirm depends on the exact pickup area. Pickups at Miami International Airport, PortMiami and most Miami and Miami Beach addresses can be confirmed with a 50% deposit — or you can pay in full at checkout, whichever you prefer. Transfers that start outside that area (Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Naples, Orlando and beyond) are paid in full in advance. Hourly chauffeur bookings always have the 50% deposit option.
Yes — when the 50% deposit option applies, the remaining balance is paid directly to your driver on the day of service, in cash or by card. The deposit itself (or a full payment) is made in advance through our secure payment link or via Zelle; card payments through the payment link carry a 4% processing fee, while Zelle and cash carry no fee.

We primarily work with curbside pickup. Just send a message with your exit gate and the driver will arrive in a few minutes — usually faster than the traditional sign-holding service.
The day before your trip, we’ll send you a message with the driver’s name, vehicle model, and license plate, along with detailed instructions for curbside pickup.
Don’t worry. We’ll send you a message as soon as your flight lands. If we don’t receive a quick reply, the driver will automatically head to the international arrivals hall. Wait there and we’ll find you.

For hotel pickups, there’s a 15-minute grace period.

Two hours is the free wait for international flights. When your free waiting time ends, extra waiting is not automatic: your driver may text you an offer to keep waiting for US$ 50 per 30 minutes (paid directly to the driver), but is not required to. If the offer is sent, the driver waits up to 10 minutes for your reply; if you don’t accept in that time, the driver may leave. If no offer is sent, the driver may leave once your free waiting time is over.
Yes. Our drivers help load and unload your bags.
The standard allowance includes one large suitcase and one carry-on per person.
Traveling with larger or additional items — extra suitcases, musical instruments, mobility equipment, or strollers? Contact us in advance so we can arrange the necessary space. An additional fee may apply.
We’re sorry — pets are not accepted on any of our services. Certified service animals are welcome: please tell us in advance and we’ll assign a van for the ride.
Yes. We include one free child seat or booster for children under five. If you need an additional seat, request it in advance; each extra seat is US$ 20.
We ask that you don’t eat during the trip. Only water in sealed bottles is allowed on board.
Unscheduled stops aren’t included in the base rate. Planned stops are welcome when you add them at booking (or arrange them with us in advance): each stop is priced by time at US$ 50 per 30 minutes, with a 30-minute minimum, then by the minute at that same rate.
Yes. The pickup time and other details (an extra passenger, a child seat) can be changed until 12 hours before the ride, depending on availability — write to us as soon as your plans change. The travel date itself is fixed once booked.
No hidden fees: the quoted price includes the driver, fuel and tolls. Only optional extras add to it — additional child seats, planned stops, the night-hours fee shown in your quote before you book and the 4% processing fee on card payments made through the payment link. Driver gratuity is optional and at your discretion; it’s always welcome.
You get a full refund if you cancel more than 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. Within 24 hours of the ride, the booking is non-refundable.
Note: any refund claim — including a driver no-show or another service issue — must reach us within 30 days of your scheduled pickup. Requests made more than a month after the ride date are no longer eligible for review or refund.
