From $340 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to La Quinta Inn & Suites Naples East in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
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.
La Quinta Inn & Suites Naples East puts you in the Bonita Springs and Estero stretch of Florida’s Gulf coast, the easygoing band of towns that fills the map between Naples and Fort Myers. It is a relaxing base for cruise travelers who desire the water close and the pace slow, with the whole region built around beaches, shopping, and open coastal air rather than city bustle.
The setting is what makes this corner worth the drive. Barefoot Beach and its coastal preserve sit neighboring for a quiet afternoon on the sand, Coconut Point gathers the shops and dining within simple reach, and Florida Gulf Coast University anchors the inland side of the community. After a week at sea, the natural move is simple: check in, leave the cruise bags in the room, and head toward the water while there is still light in the day.
Because the coast is right there, a beach afternoon slots in without any planning. Drop your things at La Quinta Inn & Suites Naples East and walk toward the shore, or spend a lazy evening browsing Coconut Point before dinner. Families land here every week off the ships, drawn by the room to spread out and the short hop to the sand. It is the kind of arrival point that lets a cruise wind down gently instead of ending in a rush, with everything the Bonita Springs and Estero region is known for waiting just outside the door.
The journey is one clean run from the ship to the hotel door. Your chauffeur meets you at your own terminal on Dodge Island, staged around your actual disembarkation rather than a rough guess, so there is no taxi line and no luggage left on the sidewalk. Every bag rides inside the vehicle from the terminal curb, and the car is reserved for your group alone the whole way west to La Quinta Inn & Suites Naples East.
Plan on roughly 138 to 148 minutes between Port of Miami and the hotel, depending on the hour you roll off the ship. Saturday and Sunday mornings are the port’s busiest, when thousands of passengers walk off at once, so the pickup is timed to your exit and the traffic is already built into the plan. Fuel, typical tolls, and hands-on luggage help are all part of the one flat fare.
