From $400 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Bonita Village Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The meet-and-greet there is included in the fare; a name-sign welcome is a $20 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Bonita Village Resort sits at 27901 Bonita Village Blvd, in the twin communities of Bonita Springs and Estero. This is Southwest Florida’s Gulf side, the stretch of coast that fills the map between Naples to the south and Fort Myers to the north. After the long ride across the peninsula from the cruise port, it is the quiet, low-key counterpoint to the pace of a sailing week.
What sits around the property is a good part of the appeal. Bonita Beach is close, and Barefoot Beach adds a protected preserve for anyone who wants sand without the crowds. Coconut Point brings a full run of shops and dining a short hop away, and Miromar Outlets covers the bargain-hunting end of the same day. For something different, the Everglades Wonder Gardens in Bonita Springs is a long-standing local stop, and the Florida Gulf Coast University campus anchors the Estero side of the area.
On arrival, your chauffeur brings you straight to the door at 27901 Bonita Village Blvd rather than a distant lot or a curbside handoff. Rooms, parking, and check-in are handled by the resort itself, so those questions belong with the property’s own front desk. What we cover is the part between the ship and that door: a private vehicle held for your group, bags carried the whole way, and a drop-off timed to when you actually walk off the ship rather than a fixed slot that ignores how disembarkation really runs.
The route out of the cruise port runs about 135 miles and normally takes 138 to 148 minutes, depending on traffic and the hour you sail in. Most of it is a single run along I-595, so once you are settled in the vehicle there are no transfers and no second pickup. Your bags ride with you, loaded at the terminal curb and carried again at the resort door.
Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest window, with thousands of passengers clearing the ships at once, so your pickup is planned around your actual disembarkation instead of a guessed time. The included wait absorbs customs and the luggage hall — you come out, the chauffeur is already staged and waiting, and the next stop is Bonita Village Resort at 27901 Bonita Village Blvd.
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.
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.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. A child seat is $15 on request, and any added stop is $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.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
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.
Al bajar del barco por mi cuenta, lo último que quería era hacer fila para un taxi en el puerto, así que tenía un auto privado coordinado para ir a Bonita Village Resort. La tarifa estaba fija desde la reserva, exactamente lo acordado.
We got off the ship with the kids ready for a nap, and a private van waiting at the port made the run to Bonita Village Resort painless. There was a board with our name on it at the terminal doors, so we didn’t have to look around.
Éramos ocho bajando en PortMiami, y un traslado privado a Bonita Village Resort fue la forma fácil. Para llegar del barco a Bonita Village Resort sin estrés, valió mucho la pena. Pasamos de la terminal a una cama de verdad sin nada de qué preocuparnos en el medio.
Traveling with the whole family, we booked a private van to be waiting at the curb and take everyone over to Bonita Village Resort. We were dropped right at the front door of Bonita Village Resort, not on a corner with the bags.
Sacar a todos del barco y hasta Bonita Village Resort suele ser un dolor de cabeza, pero una van privada reservada le quitó todo el estrés. El conductor cargó todas nuestras maletas del crucero para que no tuviéramos que hacer fuerza. Reservar fue simple, recibimos los datos de recogida claros, y todo calzó perfecto.
