From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Seaside Resort 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.
The driver monitors the flight and is at the arrivals level when you walk out, with the curbside meet-and-greet already covered by the fare. Travelers who want a name sign inside the terminal can add it for $20. Luggage is loaded by the driver and the ride runs private, door to door.
Seaside Resort sits on Estero Island, the barrier island that forms Fort Myers Beach. This is a laid-back stretch of Florida’s Gulf coast, known for its wide, soft sand and an easygoing pace that has little to do with the bustle of the city you flew into. When you arrive, the beach town feels like a place built for slowing down rather than rushing around.
The resort puts you within easy reach of the island’s best-known spots. Times Square, with its pier, is the social heart of Fort Myers Beach, and Lovers Key State Park and Bowditch Point Park are both close enough for a short outing once you have settled in. The water itself is only a short walk or drive from the property, which is why many travelers add a beach stop the same day they arrive, bags barely unpacked.
For the property’s own details — rooms, on-site amenities, and check-in times — the best source is always Seaside Resort’s official page, since those change more often than anything else. What we can promise is the part that gets you there: a private ride from the airport straight to the front of the resort, so your trip to the island begins the moment you step off the plane rather than in a rental line or a taxi queue. Arrive, hand off the luggage, and the quiet rhythm of Fort Myers Beach is yours.
From the arrivals curb at MIA, the trip to Seaside Resort is a single leg along I-75 — roughly 154.9 miles, straight to the door. Your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time, so the car is ready when you step out of the terminal. After you clear the gate, the driver meets you, helps load the luggage, and walks you to the vehicle. There is no queue to wait in and no wondering where your ride is.
Plan on about 153 to 164 minutes door to door, depending on traffic. Off-peak, I-75 moves quickly; the morning and late-afternoon rush push the drive toward the higher end, which is exactly why the pickup is re-timed around your actual arrival. On a route this long, the whole car stays yours the entire way — your pace, your group, and a clear run from the airport to Fort Myers Beach.
One vehicle, one party, one fixed price: nobody else boards, the route runs straight to the door, and the driver handles the bags at both ends. It is the simplest way to start or end a trip without lines, apps or surprises.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
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 $20 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
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.
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.
La llegada más fácil que he tenido — conductor esperando, maletas resueltas, directo a Seaside Resort.
We came with a group of friends and wanted all of us in one private ride from the airport. The driver loaded all our bags so we didn’t have to lift a thing after the flight. It was a private car for our party alone, which made the ride to Seaside Resort relaxed.
Nuestra familia llegó a MIA y el conductor tenía la sillita lista — un alivio. Sinceramente la parte más fácil de nuestro viaje — todo resuelto desde que aterrizamos. El van estaba muy cómodo después del vuelo, un alivio con el calor de Miami. ¡Gracias por la llegada tan simple!
A few friends and I flew into MIA and booked one private van from the airport to Seaside Resort. No taxi line, no standing around waiting on an app — we just walked out and the car was there. They kept an eye on the flight, so even though we got in behind schedule, the car was right there.
Landing with the whole crew, it made all the difference that the driver was right there at arrivals with room for everyone. No taxi line, no rideshare surge — we just walked out and the car was there. Our flight came in late and the driver adjusted with no problem — not a worry at all.
