From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Luminary Hotel & Co., Autograph Collection in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
The driver monitors the flight and is at the arrivals level when you walk out, with the curbside meet-and-greet already covered by the fare. Travelers who want a name sign inside the terminal can add it for $20. Luggage is loaded by the driver and the ride runs private, door to door.
Luminary Hotel & Co., Autograph Collection stands at 2200 Edwards Drive in Fort Myers, along the banks of the Caloosahatchee River. It anchors the city’s historic downtown River District, the walkable heart of Fort Myers and the mainland hub for the coast’s string of islands. The address places you at the water’s edge and within the old downtown grid, so the setting is central rather than out along the highway. Questions about rooms and amenities belong to the property itself; the ride to its front door is the part we handle.
The surrounding area is easy to explore once you have settled in. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates sit on the Caloosahatchee River nearby, one of the region’s defining landmarks. Baseball travelers have JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium within reach, and the river itself runs right past the downtown blocks. Fort Myers centers on this district — the historic streets, the estates, and the open water — which makes the Luminary a practical base for both leisure days and work trips.
Arriving here, you step out into a downtown that rewards walking, with the river on one side and the River District’s streets on the other. Because Fort Myers is the mainland gateway to the barrier islands, many travelers use the hotel as a jumping-off point for the coast. It is a longer run from the airport, so reaching the door in a private vehicle you keep to yourself — with room to stretch and your own climate control — makes the arrival a calmer one. A reserved car and a fixed fare take the guesswork out of getting to check-in on time.
Your driver meets you curbside at MIA’s arrivals level and tracks your flight, so the pickup lines up with your actual landing rather than the printed schedule. Luggage goes straight into the vehicle, and from the curb it is a single leg to Fort Myers along I-75 — about 155 miles, right to the door at 2200 Edwards Drive. No connections and no waiting in line; the whole vehicle is reserved for your party alone.
Plan on roughly 145 to 157 minutes for the trip, depending on how traffic runs on I-75. Because the drive is a longer one, having your own car matters more: space to spread out, your own climate control, and a driver who can plan a rest stop if you want one. An early or late arrival is handled without a new booking, and the flat fare agreed at booking does not change along the way.
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.
A child seat can be installed for $20 when you book. Night service, meaning 9 PM to 7 AM, adds $20 to the SUV inside Miami-Dade and Broward and $50 beyond. Extra stops are metered at $45 per 30 minutes.
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.
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.
Questions or ready to reserve? WhatsApp wa.me/17866828748 or call 786-682-8748 and we take it from there.
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.
Getting all of us out of the airport is usually a headache — one pre-booked van to Luminary Hotel & Co., Autograph Collection made it painless. The driver took care of the suitcases so we didn’t have to lift a thing after the flight.
Our whole group rode together straight from MIA, and it could not have been easier. Our flight was delayed and the driver had been tracking it — not a worry at all.
First time flying into MIA by myself, and having someone right there at arrivals made it so easy. Landing late at night, it was a huge comfort to have a private car already waiting instead of a taxi gamble. The car was spotless, and the AC was perfect.
Traveling with our little ones, I was NOT about to wrangle a taxi at MIA, so I booked a private van to Luminary Hotel & Co., Autograph Collection. Our flight came in late and the driver adjusted with no problem — no extra charge, nothing to sort out. The driver was happy to speak English or Spanish, which made sorting out the details that much easier.
There were six of us landing at MIA, and one private transfer to Luminary Hotel & Co., Autograph Collection was way simpler than splitting into cars. There was plenty of room for the whole group and all our luggage in one van. The driver was happy to speak English or Spanish, which made the whole thing that much easier.
