From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to GullWing 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.
The pickup follows the flight, not the schedule you booked weeks ago, so an early landing or a late one changes only the meeting time. You are met at MIA arrivals with the greeting included in the fare, and the Meet & Greet inside the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40 more. From there it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
GullWing Beach Resort stands in Fort Myers Beach, on Estero Island — a slim barrier island edged by roughly seven miles of soft Gulf sand. This is a Gulf-coast beach town rather than a big-city stop, and the resort sits close to the water, where the shoreline sets the pace of the day. For questions about rooms, rates, and on-site amenities, the resort’s own official page is the place to look; our part is simply getting you to the door.
The island keeps its landmarks close together. Times Square gathers near the pier, an easy point of reference along the beach, while the mangroves and calm water of Lovers Key lie just to the south. Matanzas Pass and Bowditch Point Park are both within easy reach of Fort Myers Beach, so a walk, a paddle, or a slow afternoon by the Gulf rarely asks for much travel once you have arrived.
Because the coast sits so close, a stay at GullWing Beach Resort often begins just steps from the sand. That keeps the first hour simple — unpack, change, and head straight toward the water rather than searching for a way to reach it. There is no long trip between your room and the shoreline to plan around. The setting stays unhurried and firmly coastal, the kind of place where the beach, the pier, and the Gulf are the main events, and everything else waits until you are ready for it.
Your ride begins at Miami International Airport, where the driver tracks your inbound flight and is waiting as you reach the arrivals level — no line to join and no app pin to chase. Bags go straight into the private vehicle, reserved for your party alone, and you settle in for a single unbroken run across the state. The route heads west and north on I-75 toward the Gulf coast, and the whole group rides for one flat, per-vehicle fare.
Plan on roughly 143 to 154 minutes door to door, with traffic on I-75 the main thing that moves the number one way or the other. There are no shared stops and no transfers along the way, though the driver is glad to arrange a short rest break if you want one on the longer stretch. Because the pickup follows your actual landing, an early or late flight is handled without a new booking or any change to the fare.
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.
Booking takes a 50% deposit; the other half goes to the driver when the ride is done, by cash or card. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
Late is fine: the SUV night fee is $20 in Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 outside them for pickups between 9 PM and 7 AM. A stop on the route runs $45 per 30 minutes, and the first child seat or booster is included, with each additional one at $20.
A full-size suitcase per passenger fits the SUV with five aboard; groups of six or more move to a van sized 6-9 or 10-14 with the cargo space to match.
Yes for the details: add a passenger, a child seat or a note up to 12 hours before the pickup time. No for the date, which stays as booked.
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.
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 two of us flew into Miami for our anniversary and had a driver waiting the moment we came out of baggage claim. The driver was professional and courteous, which made it feel first-class.
Unos amigos y yo llegamos a Miami y reservamos una van privada del aeropuerto a GullWing Beach Resort. El conductor nos dejó exactamente donde necesitábamos. Nuestro vuelo llegó tarde y el conductor se acomodó sin problema — sin cargo extra, nada que resolver.
Our family of four arrived in Miami, and the driver helped with every bag — a real relief. The kids dozed off in the car, and getting straight to GullWing Beach Resort without a taxi hassle was perfect.
Landing with tired kids, it made all the difference that the driver was waiting at arrivals with room for everyone. Honestly the smoothest part of our whole trip — arrival was completely stress-free. The kids dozed off in the car, and getting straight to GullWing Beach Resort without a taxi hassle was perfect.
Llegando a Miami por trabajo, no quería lidiar con la fila de taxis después de un vuelo largo, así que reservé un traslado privado a GullWing Beach Resort. Siguieron el vuelo, así que aunque llegué tarde, el auto ya estaba ahí. El conductor me dejó directo en GullWing Beach Resort. No pudo ser más fácil.
