From $400 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Bonita Resort and Club in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The meet-and-greet there is included in the fare; a name-sign welcome is a $20 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Bonita Resort and Club is a Gulf-coast property in the Bonita Springs and Estero area of southwest Florida, set close to the shoreline where the water tends to stay calm and shallow. It sits well away from the cruise port, on the opposite side of the peninsula from where your ship docks, which is why the transfer covers real ground rather than a quick hop across town. For questions about rooms, parking, and check-in times, the property’s own official page is the place to confirm those details.
The surrounding stretch pairs beach mornings with easy inland shopping. Bonita Beach and the protected sands of Barefoot Beach Preserve are the draws near the water, while Coconut Point and Miromar Outlets sit inland for anyone who wants to browse after a week at sea. Guests here often work a beach or a shopping village into the same day they come ashore, since the coast and the retail villages are both part of this Bonita Springs and Estero neighborhood.
A stay here leaves the shoreline within a short walk, and many arriving guests swap the ship’s pool for open sand the same afternoon they come ashore. After days of set dining rooms and crowded decks, having the beach close and a quiet room waiting tends to reset the whole trip. Arrive with the drive already handled, and the first thing on your list can be the water rather than logistics.
The ride runs door to door: your chauffeur is waiting when your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island, so there is no line to find and no bags to wheel across a parking lot on your own. Pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, and your luggage rides in the vehicle with you. From the pier it is essentially one run along I-595 out toward the Gulf coast, ending at the door of Bonita Resort and Club with no added stops.
Plan on roughly 138 miles and about 146 to 155 minutes from terminal to door, depending on how heavy the road is that morning. Weekend mornings are the port’s busiest, with thousands of passengers leaving the ships at once, so the pickup is built around your ship’s schedule and that traffic is already figured into the plan. You settle into the SUV or van, the driver handles the route, and the next thing to think about is the beach.
A reserved driver removes the guesswork after a long flight or a cruise morning: no queue at a taxi stand, no surge pricing, no shared stops. The group rides together and the price on this page is the price you pay.
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.
The regular window is 7 AM to 9 PM; night pickups in the SUV add $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 elsewhere. A child seat is $15 on request, and any added stop is $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.
Details such as an extra passenger or a child seat can be adjusted up to 12 hours before the pickup. The date itself is fixed once booked, so double-check it before you confirm.
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 easy way to get from the ship to Bonita Resort and Club. Couldn’t recommend it more. There was a name sign at the curb, so we spotted the driver immediately.
Na hora, profissional, e o motorista conhecia o terminal perfeitamente. Reservar foi rápido, recebemos os detalhes da busca claros, e tudo encaixou perfeito.
After our sailing, my husband and I didn’t want to risk a ride at the terminal, so we arranged a private car to Bonita Resort and Club. The driver got the whole pile of luggage in so we didn’t have to lift a thing.
Waiting at the curb the moment we walked out, and an easy ride over to Bonita Resort and Club.
Mi pareja y yo bajamos del barco en PortMiami y había un auto privado listo en la terminal para llevarnos a Bonita Resort and Club. Lo último que quieres tras una semana en el mar es un viaje que falle, y este fue totalmente sólido. Ya guardamos el contacto para nuestro próximo crucero desde PortMiami. Hizo el desembarque facilísimo.
