From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Sun Resorts & Residences Sanibel Gateway 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.
Arrivals at MIA can feel hectic, so the meeting point is simple: the driver, already aware of your landing time from the flight tracking, waits at the arrivals level. The standard curbside greeting costs nothing extra, and the Meet & Greet inside the hall, name sign in hand, is offered for $40. After that, the trip is private and direct.
Sun Resorts & Residences Sanibel Gateway sits in Fort Myers, the mainland hub for the string of islands along this stretch of Florida’s Gulf coast. Fort Myers centers on its historic downtown River District and on the Edison & Ford Winter Estates, the pair of homes that line the banks of the Caloosahatchee River. Arriving here means you land close to both the old downtown and the wide, slow river that gives the city its character.
The area keeps a lot within easy reach. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates are a short outing for a morning or afternoon, and the downtown River District gives you a walkable core of shops and streets by the water. JetBlue Park is nearby for anyone following spring games, and the Caloosahatchee River threads through the whole setting. Because Fort Myers serves as the jumping-off point for the coast’s islands, it makes a natural base whether you are staying put or heading out to the beaches beyond.
Because Sun Resorts & Residences Sanibel Gateway is a longer haul from the airport, the private vehicle matters more, not less. You have room to stretch out, your own climate control, and a driver who will plan a rest stop along the way if you want one. When you step out of the terminal the driver is already watching your flight and ready to go, so there is no queue to stand in and no wondering where the car is. You settle in, and the whole group rides together straight to the door.
Once you clear the terminal at MIA, the driver meets you curbside, takes the bags, and loads them into the vehicle that is reserved for your party alone. From the arrivals level the route heads out on I-75 and runs straight through to the door at Sun Resorts & Residences Sanibel Gateway, one continuous ride with no transfers and no other passengers picked up along the way. Your luggage stays in the same vehicle from curb to destination.
The drive is a long one by Florida standards, so the comfort of a private car counts for more on this trip. The driver tracks your inbound flight in real time, which means an early or late landing simply shifts the pickup to match when you actually touch down. There is nothing to re-book and no extra charge for the change. If you would like to break up the drive, the driver can plan a quick rest stop, and then it is a clean run to the door.
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.
Half of the fare is paid at booking as a deposit and the rest is settled with the driver on the day, cash or card. The price is per vehicle for the one-way trip.
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. The first child seat or booster is included on request; each additional one is $20. Extra stops along the way are $45 per 30 minutes.
The black SUV takes up to 5 passengers with their luggage; the vans carry 6 to 9 or 10 to 14 with room for the bags. Tell us how many people and how many suitcases travel and the right vehicle is assigned.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
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. The first seat or booster is included with your booking, each additional one is $20, and they are 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, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
Our family of four arrived in Miami, and the driver helped with every bag — a real relief. It was a private car for our party alone, which made the ride to Sun Resorts & Residences Sanibel Gateway relaxed.
Para uma chegada tranquila, meu marido e eu reservamos isto para ir de MIA direto até Sun Resorts & Residences Sanibel Gateway. O trajeto até Sun Resorts & Residences Sanibel Gateway foi confortável e tranquilo o caminho todo. Era um carro privativo para o nosso grupo, o que deixou o trajeto até Sun Resorts & Residences Sanibel Gateway tranquilo. Recomendo muito.
The two of us landed at MIA for vacation and had a driver waiting the moment we came out of baggage claim. We liked it enough that we booked the same company for the ride back to the airport. The driver was in a sharp, clean car, exactly what you want after a flight.
For an easy arrival, my partner and I booked this to get from MIA straight to Sun Resorts & Residences Sanibel Gateway.
The two of us landed at MIA for our anniversary and had a driver waiting the moment we reached arrivals. They kept an eye on the flight, so even though we landed late, the car was right there. The SUV was spotless, and the AC was perfect. Thanks for the easy arrival!
