From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to StudioRes by Marriott Fort Myers Airport in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Book with the ship’s name and the date, and the driver handles the rest at PortMiami: waiting at the correct terminal, helping with the suitcases, and leaving the port without a queue. The curbside meet-and-greet costs nothing extra; the inside name-sign welcome adds $20.
StudioRes by Marriott Fort Myers Airport is the endpoint of this run — a Fort Myers property that makes an easy landing spot after a cruise out of PortMiami. When your reservation is a rested night rather than a rushed connection, having the ride settled before you dock means the last leg is already handled while the ship is still at sea. The chauffeur brings you to the door and helps with every bag lobby-side, so the transition from vehicle to check-in is short.
The setting is Fort Myers, a city that grew up around Thomas Edison’s winter estate on the Caloosahatchee River. Today the coast’s liveliest downtown is its River District, an easy reference point for anyone spending time in town before or after a stay. For rooms, parking, and check-in details, the property’s own official page is the reliable source — we handle the drive, not the front desk.
If a night at StudioRes turns into a longer visit, there is plenty within reach in Fort Myers. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates and the downtown River District sit close by, and sports travelers will find JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium nearby as well. A gap between disembarkation and your next departure does not have to be spent waiting; the same private vehicle can be booked by the hour to see the area, with your luggage staying safely aboard. However you use the stay, the arrival itself stays simple — one direct ride to the door.
This is a single, direct leg from your ship’s terminal to the door of StudioRes by Marriott Fort Myers Airport — roughly 143.1 miles along I-595, with no stops added along the way. Book before you dock and disembarkation becomes the easy part: the chauffeur is coordinated by message as you exit the terminal hall and meets your group at the curb on Dodge Island. Tell us your cruise line and we stage at the correct terminal.
The chauffeur loads every bag at the terminal curb, and the whole party travels together in one reserved vehicle straight through to Fort Myers. Plan on about 141 to 153 minutes terminal to door, depending on how I-595 is running. Traffic is the only real variable, which is why the pickup follows your ship’s actual arrival with room to spare rather than a slot cut to the minute — no luggage-drag across the port, just one ride to the door.
Booking the ride in advance locks the price and the vehicle size, puts a driver on your arrival time, and turns the first leg of the trip into the easiest one. The group stays together and the luggage rides with you.
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.
Rides between 9 PM and 7 AM add a night fee for the SUV: $20 within Miami-Dade and Broward, $50 farther out. Child seats are available for $15 each. An extra stop is billed at $45 per 30 minutes of the detour.
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.
Passenger count, child seat or pickup detail changes are fine up to 12 hours ahead. The travel date cannot be moved to another day, so confirm it carefully.
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.
My husband and I had a great sailing and capped it off with a private car ready at the curb to take us to StudioRes by Marriott Fort Myers Airport — no fuss at the port. For a reliable way to get from the ship to StudioRes by Marriott Fort Myers Airport, it was absolutely worth booking.
The two of us set up a private transfer for after the cruise so we wouldn’t deal with the port crowds getting over to StudioRes by Marriott Fort Myers Airport. No scramble at the port — we just stepped out and the car was ready. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so we never had to rush off the ship. Thanks for the smooth handoff!
Our group came off the ship together and arranged one private van from the cruise terminal to StudioRes by Marriott Fort Myers Airport. There was a name sign at the terminal doors, so we knew right where to go.
The two of us arranged a private transfer for disembarkation morning so we wouldn’t deal with the port crowds getting over to StudioRes by Marriott Fort Myers Airport. We went from the ship to the front desk of StudioRes by Marriott Fort Myers Airport with zero hassle along the way.
Los niños estaban medio dormidos cuando bajamos, y una van privada ahí en la terminal llevó a todos a StudioRes by Marriott Fort Myers Airport antes de que alguien colapsara.
