From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Best Western Airport Inn 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, a name-sign pickup adds $20, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Best Western Airport Inn stands at 8955 Daniels Parkway in Fort Myers, ZIP 33912-0821, on Florida’s southwest coast. It sits a long way from the water you sail into, well clear of the crowds and terminal exits you leave behind on the morning you step off the ship. This is the destination end of a genuine road trip, and pulling up to a quiet door after a day of travel is part of what makes the private ride worth it.
Fort Myers grew up around Thomas Edison’s winter estate on the Caloosahatchee River, and that history still shapes the town. Today its downtown River District is the liveliest stretch on this part of the coast, with the riverfront a short reach from where you are staying. Once you have dropped your bags and settled in, the surrounding area gives you plenty to fill the hours before or after a cruise.
Guests here often work in the Edison & Ford Winter Estates and the downtown River District once they are ashore, and JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium sit nearby for anyone who wants a game while in town. Anything about the property itself — rooms, check-in, what is included — lives on Best Western Airport Inn’s own official page; getting you there safely, on time, and door to door is the part we handle. Your driver brings you straight to the entrance and hands over every bag, so the ride finishes exactly where your stay begins rather than somewhere down the block.
From the terminal it is one long run north and west along I-595 and onward toward Fort Myers, roughly 153.8 miles that normally take 151 to 163 minutes depending on the hour and the traffic. Your bags ride in the vehicle with you, the climate is yours to set, and the trip ends at the door of Best Western Airport Inn rather than at a general drop point.
Disembarkation mornings stack up quickly at the terminal exits, so your chauffeur is staged before you clear the hall. The wait is theirs, not yours. Once you and your luggage are aboard, it is a single, direct road trip with the vehicle held for your party alone from the pier to the hotel entrance.
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.
You pay a 50% deposit online to hold the vehicle, then the balance directly to the driver on the day, in cash or by card. The one-way fare above is the whole amount.
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 $15. Extra stops along the way are $45 per 30 minutes.
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.
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.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Best Western Airport Inn took all the stress out of it. The ride from the terminal to Best Western Airport Inn was smooth and steady, and we could just watch the city go by.
Our family of four came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver had room for all the suitcases for the ride to Best Western Airport Inn. The child seat was set up before we even walked out, which was a real help that morning. The driver took care of every bag so we didn’t have to juggle it all.
My wife and I had a great sailing and followed it with a private car ready at the curb to take us to Best Western Airport Inn — no fuss at the port.
No app hassle — we walked off the ship and a clean, private car was waiting, then straight to Best Western Airport Inn. Would book again.
Getting the whole party off the ship and over to Best Western Airport Inn is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. We went from the ship to the front desk of Best Western Airport Inn with zero hassle along the way. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
