From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to SunStream Hotels & Resorts 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.
SunStream Hotels & Resorts sits on Fort Myers Beach, over on Florida’s Gulf side and about 144.4 miles by road from Port of Miami. It is a genuine cross-state destination rather than a quick hop, which is part of what makes arriving by private vehicle feel like the calm, natural end to a cruise. You step out of the terminal, settle into your own vehicle, and the coast does the rest of the talking once you reach the water.
The setting is Estero Island, a long, narrow barrier island edged by seven miles of shallow Gulf water that eases out gently from the sand. At the island’s heart is the pier district around Times Square, the walkable core where the beach town gathers. Next door lie the wilder shores of Lovers Key, so the area gives you both a lively pier scene and quiet stretches of coast within easy reach of one another.
On arrival, the pace is meant to be simple. Your chauffeur brings you to the door at SunStream Hotels & Resorts, hands over every bag, and leaves you free to trade travel clothes for beach ones. With Fort Myers Beach right on the shallow Gulf, a slow afternoon by the water is the obvious first move once your luggage is inside. Drop the bags, walk toward the shoreline, and let the long drive from the port fade behind you. If you are planning extra days, the island’s mix of pier-town energy and open Gulf beaches rewards a lingering stay rather than a rushed one.
The ride runs terminal to door as one direct leg. Your chauffeur meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, loads every bag at the curb, and the luggage travels inside the vehicle with you the whole way. Plan on roughly 144.4 miles and about 156 to 167 minutes along I-595, depending on the hour, and treat it as a single unbroken run to SunStream Hotels & Resorts with no other passengers along for the trip.
Because the port can be busy on weekend mornings, the pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation, so customs lines never cost you the ride. From the terminal you head straight for the Gulf coast in a vehicle kept for your party alone, with your own climate zone and room to stretch after a long sailing. The chauffeur handles the driving and the bags at both ends; you simply settle in for the crossing.
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.
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.
Up to five people ride in the SUV; larger parties move to a 6-to-9 or 10-to-14 passenger van so everyone and every bag travels together in one vehicle.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
Our family of five came off the ship at PortMiami and the driver had room for all the suitcases for the ride to SunStream Hotels & Resorts.
My partner and I had a great sailing and capped it off with a private car ready at the curb to take us to SunStream Hotels & Resorts — not one worry at the terminal.
The group of us walked off together and it was a relief to have one private van waiting at the terminal for the ride to SunStream Hotels & Resorts — everyone in one vehicle. It was a private car for our party alone — no side pickups — so much nicer than piling in with strangers.
Nosso grupo todo descemos juntos e foi um alívio ter uma van privativa pronta no meio-fio para a viagem até SunStream Hotels & Resorts — todos num veículo só. Tínhamos todo o plano antes mesmo de o navio atracar, então não sobrava com o que se preocupar no terminal. A tarifa estava combinada antes, sem nada a mais no meio-fio.
Como crucerista solo, reservé un traslado privado de la terminal a SunStream Hotels & Resorts para el día en que desembarqué, y fue la mejor decisión del viaje. Sin recorrer un estacionamiento — caminé de la terminal a un auto que ya estaba ahí. Había una ventana de cortesía desde la hora acordada, así que nunca tuve que apurarme para bajar del barco.
