From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Casa Playa Beach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Book with the flight number and the driver watches it land. Meet at the arrivals curb, where the greeting is part of the price, or choose the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign for an extra $40. The driver handles the luggage and heads straight out, no other passengers, no stops unless you add them.
Casa Playa Beach Resort sits on Fort Myers Beach, the long barrier community that runs the length of Estero Island on Florida’s Gulf coast. This stretch of shore is known for roughly seven miles of soft Gulf sand, and a stay here often begins just steps from that sand. You unpack, change into something lighter, and walk straight out to the water without needing a car or a plan.
The location puts you within easy reach of the things people come to Fort Myers Beach for. Times Square and the pier sit at the heart of the action, an easy anchor point for a first walk along the shore. Just south, Lovers Key State Park and its quieter beaches and mangroves make a natural day trip, while Matanzas Pass and Bowditch Point Park round out the nearby spots worth an afternoon. It is the kind of place where the beach, the pier, and a few parks are all close enough to fold into one unhurried stay.
Because Casa Playa Beach Resort is a longer haul from the airport than a city hotel, arriving rested matters more. The idea is simple: step off the plane, find your driver, and let someone else handle the road while you watch the coast get closer. By the time you reach the resort, the hard part of the trip is behind you, and you are close enough to the Gulf to drop the bags and head for the sand. That proximity to the water is the whole appeal, and it is what greets you the moment you arrive.
The trip from Miami International Airport to Casa Playa Beach Resort is a single, straightforward leg. Your driver tracks your flight and is waiting as you come out to the arrivals curb, ready to help with the bags so the luggage goes straight into the vehicle. From there it is one run west and north along I-75, about 155 miles to the door. There is no transfer, no second vehicle, and no wondering where the car is when you land.
Plan on roughly 152 to 168 minutes door to door, depending on traffic. Off-peak, I-75 moves quickly; morning and late-afternoon rush push the drive toward the higher end, which is exactly why the pickup is timed to your actual landing rather than a fixed clock. On a haul this length the private vehicle earns its keep — room to stretch out, your own climate control, and a driver who can plan a rest stop along the way if you want one.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. The first child seat or booster is included on request; each additional one is $20. Extra stops along the way are $45 per 30 minutes.
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.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
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. The first seat or booster is included with your booking, each additional one is $20, and they are 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, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
For a smooth arrival, my partner and I booked this to get from MIA straight to Casa Playa Beach Resort. We were on our way within minutes of clearing arrivals, no waiting around. A relaxed start to the two of us being on vacation. Highly recommend.
Getting a big group out of the airport is usually a headache — one pre-booked van to Casa Playa Beach Resort made it painless. There was space to spare for the whole group and everyone’s bags in one van. They kept an eye on the flight, so even though we landed late, the car was right there.

Viemos à Flórida de aniversário e dar o pontapé com uma busca privativa foi a escolha certa. Rastrearam o pouso, então mesmo chegando atrasado, o carro já estava lá.
Mi pareja y yo reservamos un traslado privado del Aeropuerto de Miami a Casa Playa Beach Resort para no buscar un taxi después del vuelo. El conductor fue un conductor seguro y tranquilo, todo muy pulcro.
