From $460 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Signal Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
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.
Signal Inn sits on Sanibel, one of a pair of barrier islands reached from the mainland by a single causeway. This is a quiet stretch of Southwest Florida known for its shelling beaches, its slow pace, and miles of flat bike paths that let you leave the car behind once you arrive. Rather than a crowded resort strip, Sanibel keeps a low, green profile, and Signal Inn places you within easy reach of the island’s calm shoreline and its best-known natural landmarks.
The island’s anchor is the J.N. ‘Ding’ Darling National Wildlife Refuge, a protected expanse of mangrove and tidal flats alive with wading birds. Close by stand the Sanibel Lighthouse at the eastern point and the wide, uncrowded sands of Bowman’s Beach. Neighboring Captiva, linked to Sanibel, adds its own village and shoreline within easy reach. From Signal Inn the water is only a short walk or drive, so many travelers fold a beach stop into the same day they land, trading flight clothes for sandals soon after checking in.
What you find on arrival is room to slow down. The refuge, the lighthouse, Bowman’s Beach, and Captiva Village are all within easy reach of Signal Inn, and the bike paths make short hops simple without ever starting the car. For the details of the stay itself, Signal Inn keeps its own official page; our part is getting you to the door with your group and your bags, ready to start on island time.
Your ride begins the moment you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport. The driver tracks your flight, meets you on the arrivals level after you exit, helps with the luggage, and walks you to the vehicle, so there is no line to join and no car to track down. Your bags go straight into the vehicle, which is reserved for your group and no one else.
From there it is a direct run west on I-75 across the state, covering roughly 161.5 miles in about 161 to 172 minutes depending on traffic. There is no transfer and no unplanned stop along the way; you settle in while the driver handles the road the whole distance to Signal Inn and across the causeway onto Sanibel.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. One child seat or booster is included and each additional one is $20, and stops on the way cost $45 per 30 minutes.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
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.
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.
Landing with the whole crew, it made all the difference that the driver was waiting at arrivals with room for everyone. They kept an eye on the flight, so even though we landed late, the car was ready and waiting. Booking was simple, we got the pickup details in writing, and everything went exactly as planned.
Clean car, easy pickup, and a driver who knew exactly where Signal Inn was. Would book again. They kept an eye on the flight, so even though I got in behind schedule, the car was ready and waiting.
I booked a private transfer from MIA to Signal Inn so I could just walk out and go after the flight. I liked it enough that I booked the same company for the ride back to the airport. Honestly the easiest part of my whole trip — everything was handled from the second I landed.
I booked a private transfer from MIA to Signal Inn so I could just walk out and go after the flight. No taxi line, no standing around waiting on an app — I just walked out and the car was there. The driver was bilingual, which made sorting out the details that much easier.
A few friends and I landed in Miami and booked one private van from the airport to Signal Inn. The driver was a safe, calm driver, which made it feel first-class.
