From $370 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Beach Shell Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way trip, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Your driver tracks the flight and adjusts to the real landing time, then meets you at the arrivals level of Miami International Airport. Curbside meet-and-greet is included; if you prefer to be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet choice for $40. Once the bags are in the vehicle, the ride is direct and door to door.
Beach Shell Inn stands at 2610 Estero Boulevard in Fort Myers Beach, Florida 33931, on Estero Island along the Gulf coast. This is a relaxed barrier-island town, the kind of place where the day slows down and the sand does most of the talking. When your driver pulls up to the address, you are only steps from the water, so numerous guests drop their bags and head straight for a first look at the Gulf the same afternoon they land.
The island keeps everything within easy reach. The pier at Times Square anchors the town, a natural gathering spot where the beach, the shops, and the local pace all come together. Wide stretches of open sand run along the shore, and Lovers Key State Park sits nearby for anyone who wants a quieter walk or a paddle away from the busier center. From Beach Shell Inn, the water is a short walk or a short drive, which is part of why travelers pick this corner of Estero Island in the first place.
Arriving by private car means you land right at the door with your whole group together, luggage and all, instead of sorting out a second ride once you reach the island. Estero Boulevard is the main thread that ties the beach town together, and your driver takes you straight to the inn on it. You step out, get your bags, and you are already where you meant to be, with the sand and the pier close at hand.
The trip begins the moment your flight lands at Miami International Airport. Your driver tracks the arrival, meets you after you clear the terminal, helps with the luggage, and walks you to the vehicle, so there is no queue to stand in and no second car to chase down. From there it is one door-to-door run out to Fort Myers Beach by way of I-75, with your bags stowed and the whole car reserved for your party alone.
Plan on roughly 151 to 161 minutes from MIA to Beach Shell Inn, depending on traffic. Off-peak, I-75 moves rapidly and the drive lands near the lower end; morning and late-afternoon rush push it toward the higher one, which is exactly why the driver watches your flight and re-times the pickup at no charge if you land late. You settle in for the ride, and the car comes off the highway right into the beach town and up to the inn.

We weren’t going to juggle luggage and kids in a taxi line, so we booked a private car from the airport to Beach Shell Inn. The driver took care of the suitcases so we didn’t have to struggle with anything after the flight.
