From $450 per vehicle: a private one-way ride from MIA to Suncoast Estates in North Fort Myers.
Each price below buys the whole vehicle for the one-way run north, fixed the moment you reserve and never nudged by traffic or the hour you travel. Pick the tier that matches your head count.
Pickup is at the curb outside Miami International Airport. As you step out of the terminal with your bags, the driver is already posted at the arrivals pickup zone. The evening before departure, a message reaches you with the driver’s name, a description of the vehicle, the plate, and the exact spot to walk toward. Rather be met inside with a name sign as you clear the building? That option adds $20. Your inbound flight is followed from takeoff, so landing early or late only shifts the pickup — the private car stays held for your group.
Suncoast Estates is a quiet residential pocket of North Fort Myers, sitting on the southwest side of the state a little inland from the Caloosahatchee River and the Gulf. Its streets blend single-family homes with long-established mobile-home neighborhoods, so the mood is suburban and calm rather than tourist-driven — an easy place to arrive after a couple of hours on the road. Many travelers treat the community as a home base: relatives visiting family, snowbirds settling in for the season, and people in the area on business around Fort Myers and Cape Coral. Greater Fort Myers, only minutes off, opens up riverfront restaurants, marinas, and shopping, with roads carrying on to the Gulf beaches and the barrier islands past them.
The route out to Suncoast Estates runs 161.5 miles (259.8 km) and takes roughly 150 to 165 minutes from door to door. The line of travel follows Interstate 75 west out of Miami, then bends north up the peninsula toward the Fort Myers coast. Leave ahead of the Miami rush and the trip lands close to 150 minutes; a weekday commute or a holiday weekend can stretch it toward 165 as traffic thickens around the metro. None of that touches the fare, which is set per vehicle before wheels turn. On a haul this long, a short stop for a restroom or a coffee is easy to fold in — just tell the driver.
Three private tiers cover the trip, and each is reserved for your party alone. The Black SUV carries as many as five passengers plus their bags and suits couples, smaller families, and business trips. The nine-seat van steps up for a mid-sized group with extra luggage, while the largest van seats ten to fourteen — an extended family, a work crew, or several people off the same flight, together in one vehicle. Every option is climate-controlled and yours only, never pooled with strangers. The usual allowance is a checked bag plus a carry-on for each passenger; carrying more than that, send the specifics on WhatsApp and the right size is confirmed before you book.
Pricing is one-way and per vehicle, so the figure on the fare list is what the whole group pays — a lone traveler or a full van, it holds. Half of that fare secures the booking as a deposit, and the remaining half goes straight to the driver on the day you travel. You can send the deposit by Zelle, Venmo, or a protected checkout link over WhatsApp or the website. Need the return leg as well? A round trip is billed as two one-way runs, the same vehicle bringing you back toward Miami — reserve both at once and one driver covers each direction.
A curbside meet-and-greet comes with every booking at no charge. Past that, a handful of options carry set fees. Having the driver wait inside the terminal with a name sign adds $20, and a child seat is $20 each. If you want the car to make an extra stop en route, that runs $45 for every 30 minutes. Daytime falls between 7 AM and 9 PM with no premium; a pickup outside those hours adds a night fee — $20 on the SUV for trips that stay within Miami-Dade or Broward, and $50 once the route reaches past those counties, as this one does. Vans instead take a 10% night premium.
No — every booking is fully private. From the curb at MIA to your door in Suncoast Estates, the car holds only your group, with no strangers aboard and no side trips to gather anyone else. The whole vehicle is yours for the entire run north.
There is nothing on your side to manage. The driver watches your inbound flight live and reshuffles the curbside pickup if you touch down early or behind schedule, with no surcharge for the change. Waiting time is built in at no cost — two hours for flights coming from abroad, one hour for domestic landings — so a routine delay is already covered.
Plan on one checked bag and one carry-on for each passenger, with the driver handling the lifting at both ends. Traveling heavier — sports gear, extra suitcases, an oversized case? Send a note on WhatsApp before the day, and you will either get the space confirmed or a bump up to a larger van.
Yes. The same private SUVs and vans run point-to-point all across Florida, so a trip that begins or ends somewhere else — another town, a seaport, a second airport — is still one booking. Share both ends and your dates on WhatsApp, and the vehicle, driver, and pickup time are set for each leg.
Ready to lock in your private transfer from MIA to Suncoast Estates? Send your flight details, travel date, group size, the drop-off address, and any child-seat needs over WhatsApp, and the flat quote plus the right vehicle come back confirmed before your date is held. Booking a day ahead makes for the smoothest curbside meet. Reach the driver on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748.
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.
Llegué a Miami tarde y fue un alivio tener un conductor ya esperando para llevarme a Suncoast Estates. El conductor fue un conductor seguro y tranquilo, todo muy pulcro.
La llegada más fácil que he tenido — conductor esperando, maletas resueltas, directo a Suncoast Estates. Iba a ver a la familia en Suncoast Estates, y empezar el viaje así de fácil significó mucho.
Traveling with our little ones, I did NOT want to wrangle a taxi at MIA, so I booked a private van out to Suncoast Estates. They tracked the arrival, so even though we landed behind schedule, the car was right there.
There were five of us arriving in Miami, and one private transfer to Suncoast Estates was way simpler than splitting into cars. There was space to spare for the whole group and all our luggage in one van out to Suncoast Estates. Our flight came in late and the driver adjusted with no problem — no extra charge, nothing.
We came into Miami and kicking things off with a private pickup straight to our place in Suncoast Estates set the tone. Booking was simple, we got a confirmation the night before, and everything went exactly as planned.
