From $370 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.

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 offer 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 relaxing, 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 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.
