From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Anchor Inn Cottages in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
Book with the flight number and the driver watches it land. Meet at the arrivals curb, where the greeting is part of the price, or choose the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign for an extra $40. The driver handles the luggage and heads straight out, no other passengers, no stops unless you add them.
Anchor Inn Cottages sits on Estero Island in Fort Myers Beach, a laid-back barrier-island town known for its wide stretches of sand and its easygoing pace. This is the kind of place where the days are shaped by the tide rather than the clock, and the cottages put you right in the middle of it. When you step out of the vehicle, you are already in the heart of a small beach community rather than on the edge of a busy city.
What makes the spot so easy to love is how close everything is. From Anchor Inn Cottages the water is only a short walk or a quick drive away, which is why so many travelers drop their bags and head straight for the beach the same day they arrive. Times Square and the pier are the natural gathering point, a friendly cluster of shops and open sand where the island tends to meet up in the afternoon and evening.
There is more within easy reach when you want to wander a little further. Lovers Key State Park is close by for quieter sand and calm water, while Matanzas Pass and Bowditch Point Park give you two more spots to explore the island’s edges. Whether you plan to settle in for a slow week or use the cottages as a base for longer days out, Fort Myers Beach keeps things simple and unhurried, with Anchor Inn Cottages a comfortable, well-placed home for the trip.
The ride from Miami International Airport to Anchor Inn Cottages is a straight, private run of about 145.6 miles, and it usually takes 154 to 164 minutes door to door. Your chauffeur meets you after you clear the terminal, helps with the luggage, and walks you to the vehicle, so there is nothing to arrange once you land. The bags ride with you in your own reserved vehicle, and the driver takes I-75 while you settle in for the trip up the coast.
Off-peak, I-75 moves quickly and the drive lands toward the lower end of that window; the morning and late-afternoon rush push it toward the higher end. Because your driver watches your flight and adjusts the pickup, an early or late arrival simply moves the meeting time rather than costing you anything. It is one quiet, direct ride from the airport to the cottages, with no transfer and no stop you did not ask for.
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. The first child seat or booster is included on request and each additional one is $20, 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.
Message us on WhatsApp at wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 with your date, passenger count and luggage, and we confirm the vehicle and the pickup details.
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.
At MIA your driver meets you at the arrivals level at the curb, and that greeting is included in the fare. If you would rather be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet for $40 when you book. At the cruise port the curbside greeting is always included.
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. The first seat or booster is included with your booking, each additional one is $20, and they are 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, the Meet & Greet at MIA, child seats, extra stops or the night fee, each shown in the quote before you pay. Tipping is at your discretion.
The best decision we made — arrival was completely handled, door to door. They tracked the landing, so even though we landed late, the car was right there.
Landing with the whole crew, it made all the difference that the driver was waiting at arrivals with room for everyone. The driver was professional and courteous, exactly what you want after a flight. Landing late at night, it was a huge comfort to have a private car already waiting instead of hunting for a ride.
After a red-eye, the last thing we wanted was to hunt for a car — so glad we booked the transfer to Anchor Inn Cottages. The fare was fixed and agreed up front — exactly what we were quoted, which we really appreciated after traveling. The driver took care of the suitcases so we didn’t have to lift a thing after the flight.
We came as a group and wanted all of us in one private ride from the airport. Our flight came in late and the driver had been tracking it — no extra charge, nothing to sort out. It was a private car just for us, which made the ride to Anchor Inn Cottages easy and calm.
There were seven of us landing at MIA, and one private transfer to Anchor Inn Cottages was way simpler than splitting into cars. The car was really comfortable after a long flight, and the AC was perfect.
