From $350 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to The Gondolier Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Give us the flight number and the driver plans the pickup around the actual arrival. The greeting at the MIA arrivals curb is included; a name-sign welcome inside the terminal is a $20 add-on. Bags go in, doors close, and the vehicle leaves for the destination without sharing the ride with anyone else.
The Gondolier Inn keeps you in Naples, the Gulf of Mexico town on Florida’s southwest coast that trades the pace of the big city for white-sand beaches and easy days by the water. Settle in here and the shoreline is the backdrop for your stay, with the warm Gulf a short reach from your door and the town’s quieter rhythm setting the tone from the moment you arrive.
Step out and Naples rewards a wanderer. The historic Naples Pier is a favorite spot to watch the water and catch the sunset, while Fifth Avenue South gathers the shops, sidewalk tables, and evening strolls that give the town its character. A little further along, Third Street South adds its own cluster of storefronts and cafes, so a full afternoon on foot is never far from The Gondolier Inn.
For travelers who like a bit of nature between beach days, the area delivers. Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park puts protected sand and calm swimming within easy reach, and the wild edge of the Everglades sits close enough for a day of excursions inland. Between the pier, the two shopping streets, the state park, and the Gulf itself, The Gondolier Inn plants you in the middle of what draws people to Naples in the first place, ready for beach mornings, unhurried dinners, and whatever the coast tempts you into next.
Your driver is watching your flight, so the pickup lines up with your real landing rather than a slot set in advance. After you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport, they meet you at arrivals, take the bags, and walk you to the vehicle. From the curb it is one straight leg west across the state on I-75, with your luggage loaded and no changes of car along the way to The Gondolier Inn.
Plan on roughly 125 miles from MIA to the door, and figure about 121 to 133 minutes depending on how the highway is moving. Rush-hour traffic on I-75 is what adds the extra minutes, and since the pickup follows your actual arrival, a late flight simply shifts the whole schedule with you. The car is reserved for your group alone, so the trip stays direct and private the entire way to Naples.
The car waits for you, not the other way around. Your group travels together with the luggage in the same vehicle, the fare is known before the ride, and the driver takes the direct route to the destination.
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.
Late is fine: the SUV night fee is $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 outside them for pickups between 9 PM and 7 AM. A stop on the route runs $45 per 30 minutes, and a child seat is $20.
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.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
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.
Our family of four arrived in Miami, and the driver helped with every bag — a real relief. The kids dozed off in the car, and getting straight to The Gondolier Inn without a taxi hassle was a relief.
Landing with tired kids, it made all the difference that the driver was right there at arrivals with room for everyone. Honestly the easiest part of our whole trip — everything was handled from the second we landed. No taxi line, no standing around waiting on an app — we just walked out and the car was ready.
Traveling alone, I didn’t want any hassle coming out of Miami Airport, and this couldn’t have been easier. The fare was fixed and agreed up front — exactly what I were quoted, which I really appreciated after traveling.
Getting a big group out of the airport is usually a headache — one pre-booked van to The Gondolier Inn made it painless. Our flight came in late and the driver was still there waiting — not a worry at all.
Con los niños, coordinar el traslado a The Gondolier Inn significó cero estrés al aterrizar. Sin fila de taxis, sin tarifas dinámicas — salimos y el auto ya estaba listo.
