From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Lani Kai Island 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.
Arrivals at MIA can feel hectic, so the meeting point is simple: the driver, already aware of your landing time from the flight tracking, waits at the arrivals level. The standard curbside greeting costs nothing extra, and a name-sign pickup inside the hall is offered for $20. After that, the trip is private and direct.
Lani Kai Island Resort sits right on the coast at Fort Myers Beach, on Estero Island, where the Gulf meets seven miles of soft, pale sand. It is the kind of place where a stay often begins just steps from the water, so the first thing many travelers do after checking in is drop the bags and walk straight out to the shore. The setting is easygoing and close to everything that makes this stretch of the island worth the trip.
Step outside and the beach itself is the main draw, with the sand running the length of Estero Island and the Gulf laid out in front of you. Nearby you will find Times Square and the fishing pier, the busy little heart of Fort Myers Beach where the shops, the food, and the water all sit within an easy stroll. It is compact and walkable once you arrive, which suits a trip built around slow mornings and long afternoons by the sea.
There is more to reach without going far. Just south, Lovers Key State Park spreads out its quieter beaches and mangroves, while Matanzas Pass brings its own tangle of waterways close at hand. Between the open Gulf sand, the pier, and the protected coves and channels around the island, Fort Myers Beach gives you a real mix of ways to spend the day, whether you want the lively pier crowd or a calmer patch of shoreline all to yourself.
Your driver meets you at the arrivals level of Miami International Airport, helps load the luggage into the vehicle, and drives you straight to the door at Lani Kai Island Resort. It is a single leg west and up the coast, run as a private trip for your group alone, so once the bags are in you settle into your own seats and let the driver handle the road. Because the pickup follows your actual landing, an early or late flight simply shifts the timing at no extra charge.
Most of the drive runs along I-75, and traffic there is the main thing that moves the clock. Plan on roughly 152 to 164 minutes from MIA to Lani Kai Island Resort, off-peak to peak. On a longer haul like this the private vehicle earns its keep, with room to stretch out, your own climate control, and a driver who can plan a rest stop along the way if you want one.
Booking the ride in advance locks the price and the vehicle size, puts a driver on your arrival time, and turns the first leg of the trip into the easiest one. The group stays together and the luggage rides with you.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
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. A child seat is fitted on request for $20. Extra stops along the way are $45 per 30 minutes.
Black SUV for up to 5 passengers, van for 6 to 9, van for 10 to 14: the choice is made from your passenger and luggage numbers so nobody rides squeezed.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
Landing with tired kids, it made all the difference that the driver was right there at arrivals with room for everyone. The car was spotless, and the AC was perfect. It was a private car with no one else to pick up, which made the ride to Lani Kai Island Resort easy and calm.
Nossa família chegou a Miami e o motorista ajudou com todas as malas — uma baita ajuda. O carro estava bem confortável depois do voo, e o ar-condicionado perfeito. O trajeto até Lani Kai Island Resort foi confortável e tranquilo o caminho todo.
We didn’t want to juggle luggage and kids in a taxi line, so we booked a private car from the airport to Lani Kai Island Resort. The driver was happy to speak English or Spanish, which made sorting out the details that much easier. The driver was clearly experienced, exactly what you want after a flight.
Our group of friends rode together straight from MIA, and it worked out great. The driver handled the luggage so we didn’t have to lift a thing after the flight. Honestly the easiest part of our whole trip — arrival was completely stress-free.
Los dos aterrizamos en MIA de vacaciones y teníamos un conductor esperando apenas llegamos a la zona de arribos. El conductor fue un conductor seguro y tranquilo, todo muy pulcro.
