From $450 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Econo Lodge Fort Myers North 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.
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.
Econo Lodge Fort Myers North is a practical, no-fuss hotel on the north side of Fort Myers, on Florida’s southwest Gulf coast. It makes an easy landing spot after a cruise: a straightforward room, a place to leave the bags, and a base for exploring a city with real character. Fort Myers earns that character from the Edison & Ford Winter Estates, the riverside homes and gardens once kept by Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, and from a downtown River District that has been revived into a walkable stretch of cafes and storefronts.
Details on the stay itself — the room amenities, whether the front desk will hold your luggage, and how early you can check in after an early-morning arrival — are handled on Econo Lodge Fort Myers North’s own official page, so it is worth a quick look before your date. What the ride guarantees is a clean handoff: your chauffeur brings you and your bags straight to the door, and the day at the hotel starts from there.
The location keeps the good parts of Fort Myers within easy reach. The Edison & Ford estates and the downtown River District are close by, and the spring-training ballparks that ring the city — JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium among them — sit nearby as well. Whether you are here for a game, the riverfront, or simply a rest before the next leg, arriving by private vehicle means you skip the terminal scramble and step out where you actually need to be.
The trip runs as one direct leg from the cruise terminal to the hotel door. After you disembark at Port of Miami, your chauffeur is coordinated by message as you clear the hall and meets your group curbside at your ship’s own terminal — not a distant parking lot. Bags go into the vehicle there, and they stay with you the whole way, so there is no reloading or scrambling along the route.
From the port, the drive to Econo Lodge Fort Myers North takes roughly 163 to 173 minutes by way of I-595, depending on how the morning traffic runs. The chauffeur handles the whole road, gas and standard tolls are already inside the flat fare, and the vehicle is yours alone for the trip. You settle in once, and the next stop is the hotel curb in Fort Myers.
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.
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.
A child seat can be installed for $15 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.
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.
Up to 12 hours before pickup you can change passengers, luggage or extras. Dates are locked at booking and do not move.
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.
Our group of friends booked one van straight from the terminal to Econo Lodge Fort Myers North, and it was so easy. The driver loaded all our cruise luggage so we didn’t have to juggle it all. We got a clear confirmation, so there was no guessing at the port.
Getting all of us off the ship and over to Econo Lodge Fort Myers North is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van took the stress right out of it. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and license plate, so there was no wondering which car was the right one on the way out.
My husband and I didn’t want the taxi scramble outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to Econo Lodge Fort Myers North before we even sailed. There was a sign with our name at the exit, so we didn’t have to look around. No app to fight with — we just walked from the terminal to a car that was already there.
My wife and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Econo Lodge Fort Myers North.
My husband and I wanted a clean handoff outside the terminal, so we reserved a private ride to Econo Lodge Fort Myers North before we even sailed.
