From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hampton Inn Fort Myers Downtown in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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.
Hampton Inn Fort Myers Downtown sits in the city that grew up around Thomas Edison’s winter estate on the Caloosahatchee River, and it keeps you close to everything that makes Fort Myers worth the drive. The hotel’s real advantage is position: the downtown River District — the liveliest stretch of anything along this coast — is right at hand, so an evening out means walking, not driving again.
Arriving here after a cruise and a long ride across the state, you want a door you can walk straight through, and that is what the hotel gives you. Your chauffeur brings you to the entrance with your bags, so the move from the vehicle to the lobby is a short one. From there the pace is yours — settle in, or head out into the River District while the light is still good.
The setting rewards anyone who likes to explore on foot or with a short hop. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates anchor the city’s history and sit within easy reach, and the River District keeps its restaurants, shops, and riverfront going well into the evening. Baseball travelers are close to both JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium, two of Fort Myers’ spring-training homes. If your reason for the trip is history, the water, or a game, the hotel puts you a short distance from it and gives you a calm place to return to at the end of the day.
The trip begins at your ship’s own terminal on Dodge Island. Once your group clears the hall, your chauffeur meets you at the curb and takes the bags, so there is no line to stand in and no luggage to wrangle on the sidewalk. From the pier it is a single run west and across the state along I-595 — roughly 156.9 miles — ending at the entrance of Hampton Inn Fort Myers Downtown.
Plan on 159 to 170 minutes behind the wheel, depending on how the traffic runs that day. Because the pickup is timed to your ship’s actual arrival, with 30 minutes of complimentary wait built in, the pace of customs never costs you the ride. The vehicle is yours alone for the whole trip, your luggage stays with you the entire way, and the driver takes you door to door with stops only when you ask.
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.
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.
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.
My partner and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to Hampton Inn Fort Myers Downtown before we even sailed. Booking was quick, we got a solid confirmation, and everything went exactly as planned.
We came off the ship ready for a real bed and a driver already waiting to take us to Hampton Inn Fort Myers Downtown was the right call. The ride from the terminal to Hampton Inn Fort Myers Downtown was calm and comfortable, and we could just unwind after the cruise. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
Viajando com as crianças, reservamos uma van privativa para nos esperar no terminal de cruzeiros e levar todos até Hampton Inn Fort Myers Downtown. Chegar a Hampton Inn Fort Myers Downtown sem desvios significou que pudemos fazer o check-in e enfim tomar um banho depois da semana no mar.
The group of us walked off at once and it was a relief to have one private van ready at the curb for the ride to Hampton Inn Fort Myers Downtown — everyone in one vehicle. We went from the ship to the front desk of Hampton Inn Fort Myers Downtown with nothing to worry about in between. For a stress-free way to get from the ship to Hampton Inn Fort Myers Downtown, it was absolutely worth booking.
Our whole group rode together straight from the terminal to Hampton Inn Fort Myers Downtown, and it worked out great. Honestly the most stress-free part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
