From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Gulfcoast Inn Naples 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.
Disembarkation at Port of Miami is easier with a driver already outside the terminal. The greeting at the curb is part of the price, the Meet & Greet at the terminal adds $40, and the vehicle is yours alone from the port to the destination, luggage included.
Gulfcoast Inn Naples sits at 2555 Tamiami Trail N, Naples 34103, on the calmer Gulf side of the state a full peninsula away from the cruise port you just left. Trading one coast for the other means a change of pace: the powder-soft beaches and the Naples Pier are the draw here, and the shoreline sits close enough that guests routinely swap the ship’s pool for real sand the same afternoon they step off.
The address puts you within easy reach of the parts of Naples people actually come for. Fifth Avenue South and its galleries are neighboring, along with the shops and restaurants of Third Street South, so an evening out is a short journey rather than a project. The Naples Botanical Garden is also close at hand for a quieter morning among the plantings. It is the kind of location that lets you settle in without needing a plan for every hour.
What that adds up to is a base that feels genuinely coastal rather than a stopover on the way to somewhere else. You reach with your bags carried to the door, the beach a walk away, and the pier, the avenues, and the garden all within the same small orbit. After a morning of disembarkation lines and terminal halls, having the destination be this settled and this near the water is the whole point of booking the ride ahead. Naples is designed for slowing down, and Gulfcoast Inn Naples puts you right in the middle of it, with the shoreline and the town’s top-known blocks a few minutes from your room.
The ride is a single direct leg. Once your group clears the terminal on Dodge Island, the chauffeur meets you at the curb, loads the luggage into the vehicle, and heads out on I-75 across the state toward the Gulf coast. The roughly 130.8-mile route to Gulfcoast Inn Naples normally runs 130 to 141 minutes, and it is one uninterrupted stretch rather than a string of stops, so there is no luggage-on-the-sidewalk scramble and no waiting on the arrivals curb after a long morning.
Because the pickup is staged around your ship’s actual arrival, the timing absorbs customs and the luggage hall instead of running on a fixed clock, with 60 minutes of complimentary wait built in. Gas and typical tolls are already inside the flat fare, so the price quoted at booking is what you pay, all the way to the door at 2555 Tamiami Trail N. You walk out, the vehicle is there, and Naples is next.
