From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Fritz Carlton Resort Hotel and Spa 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.
Fritz Carlton Resort Hotel and Spa sits in Fort Myers, on Florida’s southwest coast, a good stretch of road away from the cruise piers on Miami’s Dodge Island. It is a resort and spa property, so a stay here tends to be about slowing down once the bags are in the room. Arriving by private vehicle means you reach the front of the building with your group together and your luggage handled, rather than sorting out the last leg on your own after a long sailing.
Fort Myers gives the surrounding area its character. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates draw visitors into the city’s history, while a revived downtown riverfront, the River District, keeps things lively with shops and places to eat within easy reach of the resort. Baseball fans have reason to plan a trip too: JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium sit nearby, and the spring-training ballparks on the edges of town fill the calendar when the season is on.
Because Fritz Carlton Resort Hotel and Spa is a resort rather than a downtown stopover, the drop-off is planned to land you right at the door. The chauffeur covers Fort Myers and the streets immediately around your stay, so there is no final scramble to find the entrance. You step out where you need to be, the driver helps with the bags, and the resort’s own rhythm takes over from there.
After you clear your ship’s terminal on Dodge Island, the driver meets your group at the curb and loads the luggage into the vehicle. From the pier it is one run along I-595 — about 149.1 miles — ending at the door of Fritz Carlton Resort Hotel and Spa in Fort Myers. Nobody hauls bags across a parking lot, and nobody waits in a line; the vehicle is staged around your actual disembarkation, not around whatever happens to be free that morning.
Plan on roughly 149 to 161 minutes from the terminal to the door, depending on how the traffic runs. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, so the pickup is timed to when your group actually walks off rather than a fixed clock. It is your vehicle for the whole trip, which means you set the departure and the pace, and the driver stays reachable by message from the moment you step off the ship.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way 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.
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.
Send any change to the party or extras at least 12 hours before the pickup. The booked date is final.
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.
Tudo saiu na hora do porto até a porta de Fritz Carlton Resort Hotel and Spa — não dá para pedir mais. Reservar foi rápido, recebemos os detalhes da busca claros, e tudo saiu conforme o combinado.
Los pequeños estaban sin energía cuando bajamos, y una van privada ya en la acera llevó a todos a Fritz Carlton Resort Hotel and Spa de una pieza. El auto estaba impecable, un alivio con el calor de Miami.
Tras la travesía, mi esposo y yo no queríamos arriesgar un transporte en la terminal, así que coordinamos un auto privado a Fritz Carlton Resort Hotel and Spa. Teníamos una confirmación clara, así que no había que adivinar nada en el puerto. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no quedaba nada por resolver al salir.
We didn’t want to juggle the little ones and the bags looking for a ride at the port, so we reserved a private van to Fritz Carlton Resort Hotel and Spa. The fare was locked in at booking, nothing added at the curb.
We came off the ship worn out from a great week and a private car straight to Fritz Carlton Resort Hotel and Spa set the tone for the rest of the trip. We knew the plan before the ship even docked, so there was no guessing at the port. The fare was set up front, no surprise on a busy disembarkation morning.
