From $465 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to DelMonte Resort 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.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the terminal greeting included in the fare and a $20 name-sign option if you want it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
DelMonte Resort sits in the Cape Coral area, on the Gulf side of Florida, in a part of the state built around water. Cape Coral spreads across more canal miles than any city on earth, and that grid of waterways shapes the whole stay. Gulf access is close, waterfront parks are close, and short island runs by boat are part of everyday life here. It is a very different kind of place from the cruise terminals you left behind that morning.
Step outside the resort and the outdoors is right there. Four Freedoms Park sits within easy reach, and so does Fourmile Cove Ecological Preserve, a quiet stretch of protected wetland with trails and water views. Rotary Park, also in Cape Coral, gives you another green space to walk, watch birds, or simply slow down after a long travel day. None of it asks for much planning; it is the sort of destination you settle into rather than rush through.
What ties it all together is the water. The canals give the neighborhood its layout, its calm, and its direct line to the Gulf, so boating, waterfront dining, and slow evenings by the docks come naturally to a stay here. Arriving by private car means you roll up to the door with your luggage still in the vehicle and the rest of the trip already behind you, ready to trade the port crowds for canal-side quiet.
This is a door-to-terminal private transfer between the cruise port and DelMonte Resort. Pickup is right at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island, timed to your actual disembarkation, so the car is staged and waiting when you walk off. Your chauffeur handles the bags at the curb, loads them into the vehicle, and heads out along I-595. From there it runs as a single, direct inland leg west across the state to the Cape Coral area, with no transfers and no shared stops.
Plan on roughly 168 to 177 minutes terminal to door, depending on the hour. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest window, when thousands of passengers come off the ships at once, so that traffic is already built into the timing. The vehicle stays reserved for your group alone the whole way, with your own climate and space to stretch out for the long drive.
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.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
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 $15.
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.
Yes for the details: add a passenger, a child seat or a note up to 12 hours before the pickup time. No for the date, which stays as booked.
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.
The two of us booked a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t worry about the timing getting over to DelMonte Resort. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out. Booking was quick, we got clear pickup details, and everything matched what we were told.
As a solo cruiser I pre-booked a private transfer from PortMiami to DelMonte Resort for disembarkation morning, and it could not have been easier. No app to fight with — I just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there.
Com os pequenos, combinar um carro privativo do terminal até DelMonte Resort significou nada de correria na manhã do desembarque. Reservar foi simples, recebemos os detalhes da busca claros, e tudo saiu conforme o combinado.
Tirar todo mundo do navio e levar até DelMonte Resort costuma ser dor de cabeça, mas uma van privativa reservada resolveu sem esforço. Chegar a DelMonte Resort logo cedo significou que pudemos nos acomodar sem ficar esperando. Tinha espaço de sobra para o grupo todo e toda a bagagem do cruzeiro numa van só até DelMonte Resort.
The little ones were half asleep when we walked off, and a private van right at the terminal got everyone to DelMonte Resort before anyone lost it. We went from the ship to the front desk of DelMonte Resort with no stress at all. Getting to DelMonte Resort with no detours meant we could check in and finally shower after the week at sea.
