From $530 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Two Fish Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
On disembarkation morning the driver plans around the ship’s arrival and waits at the curb outside your terminal at PortMiami. Meet-and-greet at the terminal is included; a name-sign welcome is available for an extra $20. Luggage goes straight from the terminal into the vehicle and the ride leaves private and direct.
Two Fish Inn sits on Sanibel, one of the barrier islands that make up Sanibel & Captiva on Florida’s Gulf coast. It is a small place to stay rather than a resort tower, and that fits the island, where there are no high-rises to break the tree line. What you get instead is the shoreline only steps from your door, close enough that many guests trade the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they walk off the cruise.
The island keeps things low and quiet: the Sanibel Lighthouse, the mangroves of the J.N. ‘Ding’ Darling National Wildlife Refuge, and beaches that give up more shells than anywhere else in Florida. Two Fish Inn puts you within reach of all of it, so a stay here can be as full or as slow as you want, a morning at the refuge, an afternoon on the sand, an evening with nothing on the schedule.
When your driver drops you at Two Fish Inn, the ride covers the streets right around your stay, not just a landmark down the road. Bowman’s Beach and Blind Pass are both nearby on Sanibel & Captiva if you want to wander farther, and the shelling is a short walk in almost any direction. If you are planning extra days on the islands, the official Fort Myers Islands & Beaches visitor site is a good place to map out the refuge, the lighthouse, and the quieter stretches of shore before you arrive.
The ride begins at the cruise terminal on Dodge Island, where your driver is waiting as your group clears the hall. There is no line to find and no fare to settle at the curb; the bags go straight into the vehicle at the terminal, and the trip to Two Fish Inn runs as a single leg out of Miami and across the state. Count on roughly 193 to 200 minutes and about 183 miles by way of I-595, with the traffic already figured into the plan.
It is a long enough drive that having the whole vehicle to your group changes the day: you set the departure, the pace, and the stops, and the luggage stays with you the entire way. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, so the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, and you leave when you are ready.
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.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
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.
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.
I didn’t feel like chasing a ride the morning I got off the ship, so I arranged a private car from the port to Two Fish Inn. I was dropped straight at the door of Two Fish Inn, not on a corner with the bags.
Disembarking alone, I had a driver already at the curb for the ride to Two Fish Inn — zero hassle. The car was roomy enough for all the cruise luggage, a relief in the Miami heat.
My partner and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Two Fish Inn before we even sailed. Honestly the easiest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
Todo nuestro grupo bajamos de una y fue un alivio tener una van privada esperando en la terminal para el viaje a Two Fish Inn — todos en un solo vehículo. La noche anterior recibimos un mensaje con el nombre del conductor y la placa, así que no había duda de cuál era el auto al salir. El conductor nos dejó en la entrada de Two Fish Inn, y no del otro lado de la calle.
Traveling with the whole family, we arranged a private van to be waiting at the curb and take everyone over to Two Fish Inn. The night before, we got a text with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
