From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Carefree Clubhouse Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
The driver monitors the flight and is at the arrivals level when you walk out, with the curbside meet-and-greet already covered by the fare. Travelers who want a name sign inside the terminal can add it for $20. Luggage is loaded by the driver and the ride runs private, door to door.
Carefree Clubhouse Resort sits in North Fort Myers, on Florida’s southwest Gulf coast, roughly 155 road miles from Miami International Airport. It works as a resort-style base, and a stay here often comes with a schedule to keep, with meetings and plans set around the surrounding area, so knowing your ground transportation is settled before you land takes one worry off the list. The setting is quieter than a big-city hotel district, with the Caloosahatchee River shaping the landscape just to the south.
Once you have settled in, several of the region’s landmarks are within easy reach. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates and the ballpark at JetBlue Park are among the closest, with Hammond Stadium and the Caloosahatchee River also a short drive away. Just across the river lies the riverfront River District, the heart of the largest city on this stretch of coast, where spring-training baseball and a walkable downtown draw visitors through the season. From the resort you are close to all of it without being in the middle of the crowds.
When you arrive, the resort makes an easy anchor for the days ahead, whether those are filled with work around the area or time spent at the nearby estates and ballparks. Because the drive from the airport covers a fair distance, most guests prefer to have a private car arranged in advance rather than sorting out a ride after a long flight. That way the trip from the terminal to Carefree Clubhouse Resort is one continuous ride, and you reach your room ready to begin.
The ride from Miami International Airport to Carefree Clubhouse Resort is a single door-to-door trip of about 155 miles, and the driver plans it around your flight. After you clear the terminal, your driver is waiting to meet you, helps with the bags, and heads out with no queue and no second leg to catch. Your luggage rides in the same private vehicle the whole way, and the route runs straight through to the resort.
The drive usually takes 153 to 165 minutes door to door, quicker off-peak and closer to the higher end during morning and late-afternoon traffic. Because the driver follows your actual landing time, an early or delayed flight simply shifts the pickup, and the car is ready when you step out. You ride with only your own group, set the pace, and reach Carefree Clubhouse Resort in one calm, continuous trip.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $20 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
Reserving a few days ahead is ideal, and in peak season (holidays, spring break, big cruise weekends) a week or more keeps your first-choice vehicle available. Requests inside 24 hours are welcome but depend on availability, and those bookings are non-refundable once confirmed.
We run on reservations rather than on-demand pickups. A same-day request may still work if a driver is free: message us on WhatsApp with the pickup time and we will confirm quickly. Keep in mind that a ride booked within 24 hours of pickup cannot be refunded.
No. A 50% deposit holds the vehicle when you book online, and the other half goes to your driver on the day of the ride, in cash or by card. If you prefer to settle everything at once, choose Pay in full at checkout.
Yes. After the deposit, the remaining half is paid directly to your driver when the ride is done, cash or card, whichever you prefer. There is nothing else to pay unless you added an extra service.
Cancellations are free up to 24 hours before the pickup. Inside that 24-hour window the ride is non-refundable, and no-shows are treated the same way. Booking details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can still be updated until 12 hours before pickup.
The pickup time and other details can be adjusted until 12 hours before the ride, subject to driver availability; write to us as soon as your plans change. The travel date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
Payments run through Stripe over an encrypted checkout; we never see your card number. Card payments carry a 3% processing fee that is shown before you pay. Zelle is also accepted for the deposit with no fee: ask us on WhatsApp.
Not at all. Travelers reserve from all over the world, international cards are accepted at checkout, and we answer on WhatsApp and email in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Yes. Give us the flight number when you book and your driver tracks it in real time, so the pickup follows the actual landing rather than the scheduled one, at no extra cost.
Message us the moment you know. We reschedule around the new arrival whenever a driver is available; because that counts as a change to the booking, the cancellation terms above still apply if the ride cannot be rebooked.
Your driver meets you at the MIA arrivals level at the curb, and that meet-and-greet is included in the fare. If you would rather be greeted inside the terminal with a name sign, add the name-sign welcome for $20 when you book.
You receive the meeting instructions in advance, and the driver contacts you the day before the ride to confirm every detail. On landing, head to the agreed curb; connect to the airport Wi-Fi and message us on WhatsApp if anything is unclear.
The day before the ride we send the driver’s name and phone number, and the vehicle details you need to spot the car. Vehicle photos on the site show the category booked; the exact model can vary.
Call or WhatsApp us at +1 (786) 682-8748 and we connect you right away. The pickup is always coordinated at the confirmed spot, and the courtesy waiting time keeps running from your landing or your scheduled pickup.
At the airport we wait up to 60 minutes after landing on domestic flights and up to 2 hours on international arrivals; at hotels, homes and the cruise port the courtesy wait is 15 minutes. Beyond that, waiting is billed like an extra stop, $45 per 30 minutes.
The distance and the usual driving time for this exact route are listed on this page. Real timing depends on traffic and the hour, which is why the driver plans the pickup around your actual landing or ship arrival rather than a fixed clock time.
Yes. Your driver loads and unloads every bag at the curb. Drivers do not go inside the hotel or terminal to collect luggage, so have it with you at the meeting point.
Each passenger can bring one large suitcase plus one carry-on. The black SUV carries up to 5 passengers as long as passengers plus large suitcases total 10 or fewer; larger groups or extra bags move to a van. Surfboards, bikes or many extra cases need a custom setup, so tell us before booking.
Yes. Add them when you book: a child seat for babies and toddlers up to about 3 years, or a booster for ages 3 to 5. Each seat is $20 and is fitted before the driver leaves for the pickup.
Planned stops are fine when you add them at booking, priced at $45 per 30 minutes with a 30-minute minimum, then $1.50 per extra minute. Unplanned detours on the day are not part of the fare.
Never. Every transfer is private: the vehicle carries only your group, door to door, with no other pickups and no waiting for strangers.
A black SUV for up to 5 passengers, a van for 6 to 9 and a larger van for 10 to 14. The fare table on this page shows the price for each. For groups above 14 we arrange several vehicles or a minibus on a custom quote.
No. We pick up and drop off at Miami International Airport, PortMiami and the other cruise terminals, hotels, private homes, offices and event venues across South Florida and beyond.
Yes. Wedding parties, corporate groups and private events get a tailored quote with the right mix of vehicles; message us with the date, head count and schedule.
Between 9 PM and 7 AM the black SUV adds a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 farther out. The fee is shown in the quote before you book, and daytime rides carry no surcharge.
The fare shown is for the exact route named on this page. For a different pickup or drop-off address, use the ride search on this site: it prices the real road distance instantly and lets you book on the spot.
The fare includes the driver, fuel and tolls, with no hidden fees. Only optional items add to it: the 3% card fee, a name-sign welcome, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
La llegada más fácil que hemos tenido — conductor esperando, maletas resueltas, directo a Carefree Clubhouse Resort.
Landing with the whole crew, it made all the difference that the driver was right there at arrivals with room for everyone. Honestly the smoothest part of our whole trip — arrival was completely stress-free.
Éramos siete llegando a MIA, y un traslado privado a Carefree Clubhouse Resort fue la forma fácil. El viaje a Carefree Clubhouse Resort fue calmado y sin complicaciones. Nos recogieron puntual, sin esperas. ¡Gracias por la llegada tan simple!
Flying into Miami for work, I wasn’t up for the taxi line after a long flight, so I booked a private ride to Carefree Clubhouse Resort.
We came to Florida for our anniversary and kicking it off with a private airport pickup set the tone. The van was spotless, and the AC was perfect.
