From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort 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.
Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort is a Gulf Coast stay in the Fort Myers area of southwest Florida, pairing a beachside base with an on-site pub and grill. The name lays out the shape of the place plainly: you settle in near the water, eat and drink without going anywhere, and use the resort as a home base for the surrounding region rather than a spot you only sleep in.
The location puts a good slice of Fort Myers within easy reach. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates and the downtown River District sit close by, and together with a revived riverfront they give the city much of its character. Hammond Stadium and the Caloosahatchee River are also nearby, and the area’s spring-training ballparks sit out toward the edges of town, so a few extra days here can fill themselves without much planning.
Arrival is meant to be the easy part. After a long run up from the coast, the day comes down to clearing the terminal, getting your bags to the curb, and riding straight to the resort door with no side stops. Traveling with little ones after a cruise is routine on this route, so families settle in the same way anyone else does. If you are building extra days around the trip, the official Fort Myers Islands & Beaches visitor site is a solid place to plan the rest of your stay near Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort.
Booked ahead, the ride turns disembarkation into a short walk to a waiting vehicle. Your chauffeur meets you curbside at your own cruise terminal, not out in a parking lot, helps with the luggage, and loads everything into the vehicle that is reserved for your group alone. From the pier it is one direct run to Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort, with no added stops along the way.
The drive covers roughly 156 miles, mostly along I-595, and usually takes about 163 to 174 minutes from terminal curb to the resort door, depending on traffic and the hour. Because Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a guess, and the expected I-595 traffic is already built into the plan. Bag help is included at both ends of the trip.
The fare covers the vehicle for your group alone, the driver’s time, tolls and fuel, the meet-and-greet at the pickup point and help with every bag. Extras such as a child seat or an added stop are priced separately and listed below.
No. A 50% deposit secures the booking and the remaining half is paid to the driver on the day, cash or card. Nothing else is charged unless you add an extra service.
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.
The SUV seats up to 5 with their luggage; the 6-9 and 10-14 passenger vans keep bigger groups together. Send the head count and bag count and the vehicle is matched to them.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
Reach us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or by phone at 786-682-8748; send the date, passengers and luggage and the reservation is confirmed the same day.
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.
Getting all of us off the ship and over to Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship. There was space to spare for the whole group and all our cruise luggage in one van to Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort.
The two of us booked a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t hunt for a ride getting over to Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort.
No íbamos a hacer malabares con niños y maletas buscando transporte en el puerto, así que reservamos una van privada a Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort. Reservar fue fácil, recibimos una confirmación sólida, y todo calzó perfecto. Era un auto privado solo para nosotros — sin recoger a nadie más — justo lo indicado para esa mañana.
Nuestra familia de cinco bajó del barco en PortMiami y el conductor ayudó con toda la pila de equipaje para el viaje a Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort. Había una ventana de cortesía desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuvimos que apurarme para juntar las maletas. Sin filas que hacer — caminamos de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí.
Waiting at the curb the moment I walked out, and an easy ride over to Petro’s Pub, Grill & Beach Resort.
