From $375 per vehicle: private one-way ride, Port of Miami to Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fort Myers East- The Forum by IHG.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
Walk off, clear the terminal, and the private vehicle is already outside. The driver knows which terminal the ship uses and times the pickup to the real disembarkation, with the curbside greeting included in the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal available for $40 if you desire it. Bags in, and the car heads out of the port.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fort Myers East- The Forum by IHG sits on the eastern side of Fort Myers, in the stretch known as The Forum. It keeps you close to the city without dropping you in the middle of it, which is the right trade after a long ride up the coast. The property maintains its own page for the practical questions travelers ask first — the amenities on site, whether bags can be held, and whether an early check-in is possible after a morning that started at the pier.
Fort Myers gives you more than a place to sleep. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates anchor the city’s history, the winter homes of two American inventors set along the water, and they remain the landmark most first-time guests point toward. Down by the Caloosahatchee River, a revived riverfront downtown has grown back into a real evening out — places to eat, walk, and let the day settle. Baseball fans land in the right town, too: JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium sit on the edges of the city, and spring training fills them when the season turns.
Arriving by private transfer changes how the first hours feel. Instead of sorting out a connection, you reach the door of the hotel directly, luggage and all, and the rest of the day is yours to shape. Numerous guests fold in the Edison & Ford estates or a ballpark visit once they are checked in and free of their bags. Whatever the plan, the property makes a steady base on this side of Fort Myers, and reaching it is a single run from the port.
The ride runs door to door. Your driver is staged at the terminal before you clear the disembarkation hall, so the vehicle is waiting rather than the other way around. Tell us the ship and the arrival date and the pickup is timed to it — walkers who self-assist come off early, checked-luggage groups a little later, and the driver stays organized by message as you step outside. Your bags go into the vehicle you booked, and it carries your group alone.
From the port it is one long run west and north to Fort Myers — around 155 miles, and roughly 147 to 159 minutes depending on the traffic that morning.

Nothing is added along the way, and the vehicle stays yours until it reaches the door of Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fort Myers East- The Forum by IHG.
