From $400 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to The Residences at Coconut Point 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 driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The terminal greeting is covered by the fare and a name sign is offered for $20. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
The Residences at Coconut Point sits in the Bonita Springs and Estero area, the run of Southwest Florida coastline that fills the space between Naples and Fort Myers. By road it lies about 138.5 miles from PortMiami, out on the Gulf side of the state rather than the Atlantic one your ship docks on. The name points to Coconut Point, the shopping district a short move from your door, so your stay lands you close to stores, restaurants, and the water at the same time.
Step outside and the coast does most of the work. Barefoot Beach Preserve keeps a quiet stretch of sand within easy reach, and the shops at Coconut Point sit close enough to fold into an ordinary afternoon. A little farther into Bonita Springs and Estero you will find Miromar Outlets for a longer browse and the Everglades Wonder Gardens for something slower and greener. Florida Gulf Coast University anchors the area too, giving Estero a steady, lived-in feel rather than a purely resort one.
Arrival day here has a simple shape. Once your group clears the terminal, one direct ride carries you and the luggage the whole way to the door, with no repacking and no waiting around a lot. With the Gulf so near, many travelers drop their bags and walk straight to the water, turning the afternoon after a cruise into a beach one. Your chauffeur brings each bag to the curb beside you, and the day picks up from there.
Book before the ship docks and disembarkation turns into the easy part of the morning. Your driver is waiting at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, watches your actual arrival rather than a guessed time, and holds the vehicle for up to thirty minutes so customs lines never cost you the ride. From there it is one direct trip along I-595 with no shared stops, your party alone in the vehicle from the pier to the door.
Plan on roughly 144 to 155 minutes for the 138.5-mile run, depending on the hour and the weekend port traffic that is already built into the timing. Every bag rides with you, carried from the terminal curb into the vehicle and out again at The Residences at Coconut Point. Fuel and standard tolls sit inside the flat fare, so the price you booked is the price you pay.
Rideshare lines and shared shuttles add waiting and extra stops; a private vehicle leaves when you are ready and goes only where you are going. The fare covers the whole car, the tolls and the fuel.
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 $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.
Edits to the booking, like adding a passenger or a seat, are accepted until 12 hours before the ride. Moving the date is not possible after booking.
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.
After a week at sea I only wanted a clean handoff, so a private car from the terminal to The Residences at Coconut Point made the morning simple. Booking was simple, I got everything in writing, and everything lined up perfectly. There was a generous grace period from the agreed time, so I never had to rush through customs.
Our whole group booked one van straight from the port to The Residences at Coconut Point, and nobody had to think about a thing.
Mi esposa y yo salimos del barco en PortMiami y había un auto privado esperando en la acera de la terminal para llevarnos a The Residences at Coconut Point.
Los dos zarpamos de PortMiami y tener un auto privado esperándonos en la terminal para el viaje hasta The Residences at Coconut Point nos quitó todo el estrés.
Getting the whole party off the ship and over to The Residences at Coconut Point is usually a headache, but one pre-booked private van made it effortless. Honestly the smoothest part of the whole trip — the port end was completely handled.
