From $490 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to SouthSeas Resort Captiva Island 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.
Give us the flight number and the driver plans the pickup around the actual arrival. The greeting at the MIA arrivals curb is included; a name-sign welcome inside the terminal is a $20 add-on. Bags go in, doors close, and the vehicle leaves for the destination without sharing the ride with anyone else.
SouthSeas Resort Captiva Island sits among the calm barrier islands near St James City, a stretch of southwest Florida shoreline known for slow water and long shelling beaches. You reach it by causeway, and the moment you cross, the pace changes. This is a corner of the coast built for unwinding rather than rushing, and the resort gives you a settled place to enjoy it, with the shore and the surrounding refuge lands close at hand.
When you arrive, you find the kind of landscape people come back for year after year. The area is anchored by the J.N. ‘Ding’ Darling National Wildlife Refuge and the Sanibel Lighthouse, two of the closest landmarks once you have checked in. Miles of bike paths thread the islands, so it is easy to leave the car and explore on two wheels, and the quiet beaches are made for walking at low tide and hunting for shells.
Beyond the grounds, more of the coast is within easy reach. Blind Pass and Captiva Village are both a short trip away, giving you a change of scenery whenever you want one. The whole area rewards a relaxed schedule: you can spend a morning at the water, a slow afternoon on a bike, and still have time to see the refuge or the lighthouse. It is a restful, low-key destination, and having your own vehicle waiting for the arrival makes settling in that much simpler.
Your driver tracks the flight and is waiting once you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport, so there is no line to find and no pin to chase. After a hand with the luggage, everything goes into the vehicle and you head out as one group, direct to SouthSeas Resort Captiva Island. It is a single reserved car for your party, door to door, with the fare set before you ever land.
This is a long, one-shot drive across the state, covering about 169 miles and usually running 168 to 179 minutes door to door, depending on traffic. Off-peak is quicker; busier hours sit at the slower end. Because the pickup is timed to your arrival, an early or late flight is simply absorbed, and you ride straight through to the island at a pace that suits your group.
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.
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.
Daytime service runs 7 AM to 9 PM; outside that window the SUV carries a night fee of $20 inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. A child seat is fitted on request for $20. Extra stops along the way are $45 per 30 minutes.
Count passengers and bags and the vehicle follows: the SUV for up to 5 with luggage, the vans for 6-9 or 10-14. There is no splitting a group across cars.
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.
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.
Viemos à Flórida de lua de mel e começar a viagem com uma busca privativa deu o tom. Reservar foi fácil, recebemos uma confirmação clara, e tudo bateu com o que nos falaram. Era um carro privativo para o nosso grupo, o que deixou o trajeto até SouthSeas Resort Captiva Island fácil e calmo.
Viaje cómodo, conductor amable, una tarifa fija. Sin quejas. El viaje a SouthSeas Resort Captiva Island fue cómodo y tranquilo todo el camino.
The six of us landed in Miami and booked one private van from the airport to SouthSeas Resort Captiva Island. They kept an eye on the flight, so even though we got in behind schedule, the car was ready and waiting. The driver was professional and courteous, exactly what you want after a flight.
Perfect way to start the trip — highly recommend. Our flight came in late and the driver adjusted with no problem — not a worry at all.
Los dos llegamos a Miami de vacaciones y teníamos un conductor esperando apenas salimos de la aduana. El conductor era bilingüe, lo que hizo todo mucho más fácil.
