From $380 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Best Western Fort Myers Inn and Suites 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 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 greeting costs nothing extra; the Meet & Greet at the terminal with a name sign adds $40.
Best Western Fort Myers Inn and Suites sits in Fort Myers, the southwest Florida city on the Caloosahatchee River, well up the Gulf coast from the cruise terminals of Port of Miami. For a family or group coming off a ship, it makes a straightforward landing point at the far end of a long journey day — a single named address your driver aims for, so the ride settles into one direct leg rather than a string of stops. When you book, that hotel is the only drop-off on the reservation, and the plan is built around getting your whole party there together.
Fort Myers grew up around Thomas Edison’s winter estate on the banks of the Caloosahatchee, and that history still shapes the place. Today the city’s River District supplies the liveliest downtown on this stretch of coast — a walkable core of streets close to the water. The hotel gives you a fixed base to settle into before you discover any of it, whether the journey is built around the river, the coast, or merely a relaxing night after the miles from the port.
On arrival, the practical part is simple: look for your driver at the main entrance, where the vehicle pulls in and your bags come off the cart without a scramble. Questions about rooms, parking, and check-in times belong with the hotel itself — its own official page is the place to confirm those details, since they can change. What the ride covers is everything up to that front door: the long haul from the terminal handled as one private journey, so the only thing left when you climb out is walking inside.
The journey runs as one private leg from the terminal to the hotel door. Your driver is staged before you clear the luggage hall, so on a hectic disembarkation morning the wait is theirs, not yours — you walk out, the vehicle is there. Bags go straight into the trunk at the curb, everyone climbs into a vehicle held for your party alone, and the roughly 155 miles to Fort Myers roll by as a single direct run.
Plan on 151 to 163 minutes between Port of Miami and the hotel, depending on the hour, with I-595 carrying most of the distance. Fuel, typical tolls, and luggage assist are already inside the fare, and a 60-minute wait window at the port absorbs a slow gangway or a long customs line. The vehicle stays yours from the terminal curb to the main entrance in Fort Myers.
