From $400 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Hotel Villas Lazief 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.
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.
Hotel Villas Lazief sits in the Bonita Springs and Estero area, a quiet corner of Florida’s Gulf coast well removed from the cruise-port bustle you leave behind. This part of the state trades the busy Atlantic beaches for calmer water and a slower pace, and the property puts you within easy reach of both the shoreline and the inland shopping villages that give the region its character. It makes a natural base for travelers who want the Gulf’s softer side after a week at sea.
The setting is what most guests remember. Bonita Beach is known for its gentle, calm water, and Barefoot Beach Preserve keeps a stretch of the coast in its natural state a short way along. Turn inland and the mood shifts to open-air retail: Coconut Point and the Miromar shopping villages, including Miromar Outlets, sit within the same Bonita Springs and Estero footprint. Between the sand and the stores, the neighborhood gives you plenty to fill the hours without the density of the big-city districts farther south.
Arriving here feels like a genuine change of scene after the port. The Gulf light, the quieter roads, and the easy mix of beach and shopping all sit close together, so you can decide day by day whether the plan is water or errands. Because the property anchors the Bonita Springs and Estero stretch, the beaches and the shopping centers stay part of the same easy orbit once your driver has set your bags down at the door.
The trip runs door to door, from your ship’s terminal at the Port of Miami all the way to Hotel Villas Lazief. Your chauffeur is coordinated by message as you clear the terminal hall, meets your group at the curb, loads the luggage, and heads out on a single direct leg along I-595. The distance is about 136.9 miles, and the vehicle is yours alone the whole way.
Plan on roughly 141 to 153 minutes on the road, depending on the hour you disembark. There is no taxi line to join and no app to wait on: the pickup is timed to your actual arrival, the bags stay aboard the vehicle from curb to hotel, and the driver handles them again at the door in Bonita Springs and Estero.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
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.
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.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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.
Primera vez de crucero por mi cuenta desde PortMiami, y tener un auto privado ahí mismo al salir para el viaje a Hotel Villas Lazief no pudo salir mejor. Había un buen período de gracia desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuve que apurarme para juntar las maletas. La tarifa estaba cerrada al reservar, sin sorpresas en una mañana de desembarque cargada. Muy recomendable.
After our cruise, my husband and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we lined up a private car to Hotel Villas Lazief. An easy, relaxed handoff for the two of us — off the ship and into Hotel Villas Lazief with nothing left to sort out.
Sacar a todos del barco y hasta Hotel Villas Lazief suele ser un dolor de cabeza, pero una van privada reservada le quitó todo el estrés. El conductor nos dejó justo en la puerta de Hotel Villas Lazief, y no del otro lado de la calle.
My husband and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Hotel Villas Lazief. The SUV was spotless, and the AC was perfect after the ship.
After our sailing, my husband and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we lined up a private car to Hotel Villas Lazief. No lot to comb through — we just went straight from the curb into the car. The fare was locked in at booking, nothing added at the curb.
