Chauffeured transport to the arena
Aura Palm Limo provides chauffeured car service to the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Florida — the 7,972-seat arena on the University of Miami campus that is home to the Miami Hurricanes men’s and women’s basketball teams and hosts concerts, commencement and university events. Aura Palm is an independent chauffeur service and is not affiliated with the university or the arena; what it provides is the ride to it — a group to a game night dropped at the campus door, a family in for commencement, and guests carried from the airport. Miami International (MIA) is the nearest airport, and dispatch is reachable around the clock at +1 (754) 714-7713, covering Coral Gables and the surrounding Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Getting to the arena
A night at the Watsco Center is a campus arrival, and a university campus on a game or commencement day is its own kind of crowd: the arena sits inside the University of Miami grounds off US-1, with campus lots that fill and one-way service roads that back up when several thousand people arrive at once. A car dropped at the arena door leaves that behind — no circling a student lot, no long walk in from an overflow space — and for a family in for commencement it means grandparents to the entrance rather than a hike across campus. A student group or an alumni party rides together to a game and is collected at a set point when the final buzzer empties the building all at once. A sedan suits a couple to a concert, a Sprinter a group of friends to a game, and a mini-bus an alumni or corporate block. For anyone flying in, the run comes straight from Miami International down to the Coral Gables campus.
How the night is booked
Transport to the Watsco Center is booked around the event, not a set rate. A couple takes a sedan; a group of friends a Sprinter; an alumni or graduation block a mini-bus or coach, dropped at the campus arena and collected at a set point after. Dispatch is staffed around the clock.

Chauffeured transport to the arena
A campus arena, not a downtown one
The Watsco Center is a college arena, and that sets its transport apart from the region’s pro and downtown venues: it sits inside the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables, reached off US-1, with campus lots and service roads that were built for students rather than a full event crowd. On a Hurricanes game night or a commencement morning those fill fast, so a car dropped at the arena door is worth the most here — a family reaches the entrance without a cross-campus walk, and a group avoids hunting a student lot. Aura Palm books it as a standing arrangement for season-ticket groups and one-off nights alike.
Games, concerts and commencement
The arena’s calendar runs from Hurricanes basketball through concerts to the university’s ceremonies, and each fills the same 7,972 seats and empties them at once. The two moments that shape the transport are the arrival before tip-off or the ceremony and the exit when it ends — a group booked to a set pickup point clears the campus together while others queue in the lot. Vehicles range from a sedan for a couple at a concert to a coach for an alumni block or a graduation party.
Down from the airport to the campus
Much of the visiting travel — a recruit’s family, alumni in for a game, guests for commencement — begins at the airport, and Miami International is the nearest gateway, a short run north of Coral Gables. A flight-tracked pickup carries a visitor from the terminal to the campus or a hotel on the actual landing, and the same booking covers the trip home. Dispatch is staffed around the clock. To arrange transport to the Watsco Center, call +1 (754) 714-7713 or email [email protected].
