From $365 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Lahaina Inn Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
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.
Book with the flight number and the driver watches it land. Meet at the arrivals curb, where the greeting is part of the price, or choose the Meet & Greet inside the terminal with a name sign for an extra $40. The driver handles the luggage and heads straight out, no other passengers, no stops unless you add them.
Lahaina Inn Resort sits at 5580 Estero Boulevard in Fort Myers Beach, out on Estero Island — a laid-back barrier-island town built around broad sand and unhurried days. The address puts you close to the Gulf, which is only a short walk or drive from the property, so numerous travelers set their bags down and head straight for the beach the same afternoon they arrive. It is a simple landing spot: compact, walkable, and pointed squarely at the water rather than the traffic.
The island keeps things simple. The pier at Times Square anchors Fort Myers Beach and gives the town its social center, and from there the sand runs broad in both directions. At the quieter northern end you will locate Matanzas Pass and Bowditch Point Park, good for a slower walk away from the busier stretches. Lovers Key State Park sits within simple reach as well, adding protected shoreline, calmer water, and a bit of room to spread out when you desire it.
When your driver pulls up to Lahaina Inn Resort, you are already on Estero Island with the Gulf a few steps away, so the move from road to sand is short. It is the kind of place where the day slows down — a morning on the beach, a walk to the pier, an evening back near Times Square. Because the ride from Miami runs long, arriving in your own car lets you step out rested at the door and start island time on your own terms.
Your driver tracks the inbound flight and is waiting when you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport, then meets you curbside on the arrivals level. Bags go into the vehicle, everyone settles in, and the car heads out toward Fort Myers Beach along I-75 as one straight, private run. The route covers roughly 142.2 miles, and the drive commonly takes about 143 to 154 minutes depending on traffic.
Off-peak, I-75 moves rapidly; morning and late-afternoon rush push the time toward the higher end, which is exactly why the pickup is tied to your real landing time rather than a fixed clock. The whole way, the car is yours alone — you set the pace and the stops, and the vehicle rolls straight through to the door at Lahaina Inn Resort with no changes and no shared seats.
Booking takes the full fare up front, paid online. There are no seat fees and no add-ons unless you request them.
