From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The terminal greeting is covered by the fare and a name sign is offered for $20. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach is the endpoint of this route — a Fort Myers Beach address roughly 155.4 road miles from the Port of Miami cruise terminals, out on Florida’s opposite coast. The name tells you the setting: a beach community, reached in one long run across the width of South Florida rather than a string of connections after your ship ties up.
The wider Fort Myers area gives the trip its backdrop. The Edison and Ford winter estates anchor the city’s history, a revived riverfront downtown draws people back to the water, and spring-training ballparks sit out on the edges of town. It is a corner of Florida with its own rhythm, tied to the coast and unhurried, which makes the drive from the port feel like a real change of scenery rather than just a transfer between two points.
When you reach Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach, the ride ends at the door — no last leg to sort out, no dragging cruise luggage across a lot. Your chauffeur handles the bags at the property just as they did at the pier, so the final step is simply to walk in. After more than two and a half hours on the road, arriving directly at your destination is the whole reason for booking a private vehicle across the full route.
The trip is one continuous run from the cruise terminal to Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach — about 155.4 miles, normally 161 to 172 minutes depending on the hour and traffic on I-595. Your driver meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, with a 30-minute window built in so customs and the luggage hall don’t put pressure on the pickup. You walk out, and the vehicle is already there waiting.
From there it is a straight run with no extra stops and no detours. Luggage rides in the vehicle with you, the price already covers gas and standard tolls, and the space is yours alone for the whole route. You set the departure and the pace; the driver handles the road, and the next thing you see is the door at Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach.
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.
Reserve with a 50% deposit; hand the balance to the driver on the day by cash or card. Fares are quoted per vehicle, one way, with tolls and fuel included.
Yes, outside 7 AM to 9 PM the SUV adds $20 inside Miami-Dade or Broward and $50 beyond those counties. Child seats can be added for $15, and stops on the way cost $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.
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.
To book, WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748. Share the date, the number of travelers and bags, and we lock in the driver.
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 came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach.
Coming down the gangway solo, the last thing I wanted was to sort out transport at the port, so I had a private car lined up for the run to Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach. I’ve already earmarked them for my next cruise out of PortMiami. I was dropped right at the front door of Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach, not down the block.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach took all the stress out of it. We got a clear confirmation, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
My husband and I weren’t up for the chaos outside the terminal, so we booked a private ride to Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach before we even sailed.
De crucero con los niños, no queríamos caos el día del desembarque, así que una van privada esperando en la terminal Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach valió cada minuto.
