From $600 per vehicle — a private transfer to or from Orlando and Courtyard by Marriott Miami Coral Gables Hotel covers 239 miles in about 4.1 hours by black SUV or climate-controlled van, at a flat rate. Your bilingual chauffeur drives the full Florida’s Turnpike corridor down to Coral Gables, door to door, while your group sits back and arrives rested.
Each fare below covers the whole vehicle for your group, one way, with the price set when you reserve.
A dedicated chauffeured vehicle is the most direct way to create the 239-mile run between the Orlando parks and Coral Gables. You pick the size that fits your group: a black SUV for up to 5 travelers, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for 6 to 9, or a larger Sprinter for 10 to 14. Your driver meets you at the agreed Orlando-region address — a resort lobby, a vacation rental, a private home — loads the bags, and heads straight south. The same vehicle and the same driver stay with you for the whole drive, finishing at the hotel entrance in Coral Gables rather than a curb three blocks away. Booking is handled directly over WhatsApp: send your pickup point, date, time, passenger count, and bag count, and we confirm the vehicle and the chauffeur for that slot. No rental counter, no parking deck, no juggling directions across four hours of highway.
A private vehicle reserved for your group is the core of this service — never a shared or pooled ride. The fare is locked the moment you book, so demand, weather, or rush-hour traffic never push the number up after the fact. Your chauffeur is bilingual, speaking English plus Spanish or Portuguese, which keeps coordination simple for international families landing into Florida. One driver and one vehicle handle the full distance, so there is no handoff, no second car, and no waiting between legs. Luggage is part of the plan, not an afterthought: the SUV and vans are sized so a family hauling park gear, strollers, and a week of suitcases still rides comfortably. And you reach us directly — a real WhatsApp thread with a human, where you confirm pickup details, ask about a child seat, or flag an extra bag before journey day instead of chasing a faceless app.
The drive runs about 4.1 hours door to door across 239 miles. Most of that distance follows Florida’s Turnpike as it cuts south from the Orlando region toward Miami-Dade, a steady highway corridor with predictable flow for long stretches. Off-peak departures — mid-morning or early afternoon on a normal weekday — tend to land right around the 4.1-hour mark. Peak windows are distinct: a Friday getaway, a Sunday return, or a major theme-park event day can thicken traffic near both ends and add close to an extra hour. Holiday weekends are the heaviest, so if your schedule is tight, an earlier start gives the most cushion. Your chauffeur watches conditions in real time and adjusts the line through the busier segments, but the flat fare you booked holds whatever the clock does. You arrive when you arrive — rested, not white-knuckling a four-hour drive yourself.
Coral Gables is one of greater Miami’s most polished districts, known for tree-lined boulevards, Mediterranean-style architecture, and an unhurried, upscale feel that contrasts with the busier downtown core. The hotel places you within simple reach of Miracle Mile’s shops and restaurants, historic landmarks, and the leafy residential streets the city is named for. After a stretch of theme-park days up north, it is a peaceful landing spot — walkable, dining-rich, and close to the wider Miami sights without sitting in the middle of the crowds.
Full details on the property — amenities, location, and on-site facilities — live on the Courtyard by Marriott Miami Coral Gables Hotel overview. If you want to compare layouts before you travel, the room options page breaks down what each category includes so you know exactly what awaits at drop-off.
Coral Gables rewards a stroll: Miracle Mile lines up boutiques and sidewalk cafés, while the surrounding streets show off the city’s signature Mediterranean Revival look. Landmark gardens, a historic spring-fed pool, and golf grounds sit nearby, and the rest of Miami — beaches, the bay, and downtown — is a short hop once you have settled in.
The fare is a complete door-to-door package, not a bare seat. Here is what travels with the price and the few things that can add to it.
Your fare covers the dedicated vehicle and chauffeur for the entire route, plus the running costs of the drive itself, so there is nothing to settle at the roadside.
A few add-ons sit outside the base fare. Each additional child seat beyond the first carries a small fee confirmed when you book. Extra or oversized bags are easy to handle — message us in advance and we confirm the space or size up to a larger van. Departures outside the 7 AM to 6 PM daytime window add a modest surcharge, detailed below.
The University of Miami’s campus sits in Coral Gables, and its calendar moves this whole neighborhood. Move-in weekend, family weekend and commencement bring thousands of parents into the same handful of hotels at once, and rooms and cars both get claimed weeks ahead. If your journey lands on one of those dates — worth checking the university calendar before you book anything — put the transfer in early and offer yourself a wider arrival window than you would on an ordinary weekend.
Three private vehicle classes cover everything from a couple to a large multi-family party, all reserved privately for your group.
Payment is split merely, with most of it settled before journey day.
Pickups inside the 7 AM to 6 PM daytime window carry no surcharge. Trips that start before or after those hours add a small amount, shown here so there are no surprises.
Swift answers to what travelers ask most before booking the Orlando-to-Coral-Gables run.
Each passenger gets one checked bag plus one carry-on as standard, and the SUV and Sprinter vans are sized for park-trip loads. If you are bringing extra or oversized bags, message us in advance on WhatsApp and we confirm the space or size you up to a larger van. Nothing is left behind.
Yes. Pre-dawn departures are fine — many groups roll out of the Orlando area in the dark to land in Coral Gables ahead of midday traffic. Pickups before 7 AM fall outside daytime hours, so a small surcharge applies, but the chauffeur and vehicle are yours for the early run all the same.
The fare is per vehicle, not per person. Your whole group rides for the single flat price shown in the prices section above, whether you fill an SUV with five or a van with fourteen. A round trip is simply double the one-way figure when you book both legs together.
One brief comfort stop on the way is welcome — a restroom break, a snack, or a chance to stretch. Just let your chauffeur know and it is built into the drive at no extra cost. The flat fare does not change for a quick pause, so families with kids can pace the four hours comfortably.
We run point-to-point between the Orlando area and South Florida, collecting at the exact door you give us. If your plans put you at a Miami-area airport before or after the hotel, share that as your pickup or drop point and we coordinate it as part of the same private transfer, door to door.
This is a private, dedicated transfer only — one vehicle and one chauffeur reserved for your group the whole way, never a shared or scheduled line. Instead of changing between services, you ride straight from your Orlando-area pickup to the hotel entrance in Coral Gables, luggage and all, on your own schedule.
Both are easy to arrange. Small pets ride in a carrier with advance WhatsApp notice. The first child seat is free for a child under 5; each additional seat carries a small fee we confirm at booking, so you tell us ages and seat needs up front and we have everything ready at pickup.
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.

If you are paying the remaining half in cash on the day, hand it over during the drive or at the comfort stop rather than in the hotel driveway. Counting notes with the doors open, bags coming out and someone waiting behind us is nobody’s favorite moment. Sorted an hour earlier, the arrival is just bags, doors and a handshake.
Send your pickup address, date, time, passenger count, and bag count over WhatsApp and we confirm the right vehicle and your bilingual chauffeur for the Orlando-to-Coral-Gables run. Reserve early for holiday weekends and pre-dawn departures, when the calendar fills first. Place your deposit, and the vehicle is held for your group at the flat rate quoted.

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.

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.

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.
