From $340 per vehicle, a private one-way ride from Port of Miami to Lely Resort in Naples — your group alone.
One flat figure covers the whole vehicle, set by how many seats you require and locked the day you reserve — traffic and demand never move it.
Disembarkation sets the clock for this journey. Once your ship ties up at Port of Miami and your group clears customs, the driver is already waiting at the terminal curb to load the bags and pull away. Share your ship’s name and the assigned terminal when you book so the pickup is timed to your real arrival, not a guess; if several ships empty the same morning and the terminal roads back up, the driver holds the reserved vehicle rather than leaving. Meet & greet comes with every booking. Desire a printed name sign at the curb? Ask on WhatsApp and it is added for $40. Traveling with golf clubs for Lely Resort’s courses? Say so when you reserve — long, rigid club bags eat the room several suitcases would, so the vehicle is sized around them before journey day.
Lely Resort is a gated golf-and-country-club community on the Gulf side of Naples, and it feels a world apart from the terminal you just left. Championship courses, a country club with resort-style amenities, and quiet residential streets wrap around fairways and lakes; past the community’s gates, this pocket of Southwest Florida runs to Gulf beaches, upscale shops, and unhurried coastal dining. Drop-off is door to door at whatever address you give inside Lely Resort. Because the community sits behind a staffed entrance, ask your host or rental agency to add your arrival to the gate list ahead of time and pass along the surname it sits under — doing that the night before from the ship beats sorting it out at the barrier after dark. You can look over the club side at the Lely Resort Golf & Country Club or see how the community is run through the local district’s public information.
The journey out to Lely Resort is one of the longer runs the service handles from Port of Miami — a steady westbound highway drive rather than a swift cross-town hop. The route leaves the port and tracks I-75 across Alligator Alley toward the Gulf coast and Naples. How long it actually takes depends on the day: an open road when you roll off-peak, and a slower first stretch when several ships disembark together and the terminal approaches fill. Rather than pin the drive to one number that a heavy morning could break, the driver builds the pickup around your ship’s real schedule and watches live conditions on the road. Throughout, the vehicle is private — booked one-way for your group, with no shared seats and no detours to pick up strangers. Require the return leg too? A round journey is merely the one-way fare doubled, booked as one reservation.
Lely Resort’s entrance is staffed, so visitors are checked before the gate opens. Ask your host or rental agency to add your arrival — and the driver — to the guest list ahead of time, and tell the driver the surname it is filed under. Handling it the night before from the ship is far easier than negotiating at the gate on arrival.
Yes. Club bags are long and stiff, and two sets swallow the space several suitcases would fill. List them alongside your passenger and bag counts when you book so the right vehicle is assigned. Clubs are common on the run to Lely Resort, and sizing the car around them keeps everyone and everything aboard in comfort.

My wife and I had a wonderful cruise and capped it off with a private car ready at the curb to run us out to Lely Resort — not a worry at the terminal. The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no guessing at the curb when we walked out.
