From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Best Western Fort Myers Inn and Suites 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 ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside meet-and-greet costs nothing extra; the inside name-sign welcome adds $20.
Best Western Fort Myers Inn and Suites sits in Fort Myers, the southwest Florida city on the Caloosahatchee River, well up the Gulf coast from the cruise terminals of Port of Miami. For a family or group coming off a ship, it makes a straightforward landing point at the far end of a long travel day — a single named address your driver aims for, so the ride settles into one direct leg rather than a string of stops. When you book, that hotel is the only drop-off on the reservation, and the plan is built around getting your whole party there together.
Fort Myers grew up around Thomas Edison’s winter estate on the banks of the Caloosahatchee, and that history still shapes the place. Today the city’s River District supplies the liveliest downtown on this stretch of coast — a walkable core of streets close to the water. The hotel gives you a fixed base to settle into before you explore any of it, whether the trip is built around the river, the coast, or simply a comfortable night after the miles from the port.
On arrival, the practical part is simple: look for your driver at the main entrance, where the vehicle pulls in and your bags come off the cart without a scramble. Questions about rooms, parking, and check-in times belong with the hotel itself — its own official page is the place to confirm those details, since they can change. What the ride covers is everything up to that front door: the long haul from the terminal handled as one private trip, so the only thing left when you climb out is walking inside.
The trip runs as one private leg from the terminal to the hotel door. Your driver is staged before you clear the luggage hall, so on a busy disembarkation morning the wait is theirs, not yours — you walk out, the vehicle is there. Bags go straight into the trunk at the curb, everyone climbs into a vehicle held for your party alone, and the roughly 155 miles to Fort Myers roll by as a single direct run.
Plan on 151 to 163 minutes between Port of Miami and the hotel, depending on the hour, with I-595 carrying most of the distance. Fuel, standard tolls, and luggage help are already inside the fare, and a 30-minute wait window at the port absorbs a slow gangway or a long customs line. The vehicle stays yours from the terminal curb to the main entrance in Fort Myers.
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.
A 50% deposit reserves the ride online; the balance is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. The fare is one way and per vehicle, so what you see above is the full price for the trip.
A child seat can be installed for $15 when you book. Night service, meaning 9 PM to 7 AM, adds $20 to the SUV inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. Extra stops are metered at $45 per 30 minutes.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
Nuestro grupo de amigos fue todo junto directo de la terminal a Best Western Fort Myers Inn and Suites, y salió buenísimo. Sinceramente la parte más tranquila del viaje — el puerto quedó totalmente resuelto.
We cruised with a big crew and wanted everyone and the luggage in one private ride to Best Western Fort Myers Inn and Suites after disembarking. It was a private car for our party alone — no one else’s stops — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
My partner and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Best Western Fort Myers Inn and Suites before we even sailed. The fare was fixed when we booked, the same number we were quoted.
Our family of six came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver loaded every cruise bag for the ride to Best Western Fort Myers Inn and Suites. No line to stand in — we just went straight from the curb into the car.
Éramos ocho bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a Best Western Fort Myers Inn and Suites fue la forma fácil. Sin caos en el puerto — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. Había un buen período de gracia desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para bajar del barco. Sin estrés alguno.
