From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to DiamondHead Beach Resort & Spa 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, a name-sign pickup adds $20, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
DiamondHead Beach Resort & Spa sits on Estero Island, the barrier strip that forms Fort Myers Beach on Florida’s Gulf coast. The resort places you a few steps from the shoreline, so the sand and the water are right there when you arrive. Plenty of guests who book this ride step off their cabin and onto real sand the same afternoon they disembark, trading the ship’s pool deck for a wide, open beach.
Estero Island keeps things barefoot and unhurried. The sand runs wide and soft, and the passes at either end of the island fill with dolphins that come close enough to watch from the shore. A short stretch away sits the Times Square pier district, the walkable heart of Fort Myers Beach, where the pier reaches out over the Gulf and the cafés and open-air spots gather. It is an easy, low-key rhythm — the kind of place where the plan for the day can be as simple as picking a spot on the sand.
If you want to wander beyond the resort, more of the island’s coast is within reach. Lovers Key State Park and Matanzas Pass sit nearby, both stretches of protected shoreline and quiet water on the Fort Myers Beach side. Whether you settle in for the whole stay or use DiamondHead as a base for exploring Estero Island, the appeal stays the same: the Gulf is close, the pace is gentle, and the beach is the main event from the moment you check in.
This is a door-to-door private transfer. After you disembark at the Port of Miami, your chauffeur meets your group at the curb of your ship’s own terminal, loads the luggage, and drives you straight through to DiamondHead Beach Resort & Spa. The bags stay in the vehicle the whole way, and the car is yours alone — no other pickups, no detours added to the run.
The route follows I-595 across the state to Florida’s Gulf coast, covering roughly 144.4 miles in about 156 to 167 minutes depending on traffic. Because the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival rather than a fixed slot, the driver is already in place and coordinated by message as you clear the terminal, so the trip stays a single, direct leg from the port to the resort door.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Mi esposa y yo terminamos un crucero buenísimo y lo rematamos con un auto privado listo en la acera para llevarnos a DiamondHead Beach Resort & Spa — sin líos en el puerto. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin paradas ajenas — mucho mejor que ir con desconocidos. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue totalmente sólido. ¡Gracias por el traspaso tan tranquilo!
I was cruising by myself and set up a private car to meet me at the terminal curb once the ship docked and take me right over to DiamondHead Beach Resort & Spa. There was a courtesy waiting window from the agreed time, so I never had to rush through customs. No scramble at the port — I just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there.
Mi pareja y yo terminamos un crucero buenísimo y lo cerramos con un auto privado esperando en la terminal para llevarnos a DiamondHead Beach Resort & Spa — sin una sola preocupación en la terminal. Sin pelear con una app — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
I wasn’t going to fight for a ride the morning I disembarked, so I reserved a private car from the terminal to DiamondHead Beach Resort & Spa. I had the driver’s details ahead of time, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal. The ride from the terminal to DiamondHead Beach Resort & Spa was calm and comfortable, and I could just unwind after the cruise.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to DiamondHead Beach Resort & Spa made the morning easy.
