From $350 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Marco Island Lakeside Inn 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.
The driver monitors the flight and is at the arrivals level when you walk out, with the curbside meet-and-greet already covered by the fare. Travelers who desire the Meet & Greet, a name sign inside the terminal, can add it for $40. Luggage is loaded by the driver and the ride runs private, door to door.
Marco Island Lakeside Inn sits on Marco Island, the gateway to the Ten Thousand Islands along Florida’s southwest Gulf coast. The island is known for its broad crescent beach, its cluster of resort towers, and the boat access it opens to the mangrove channels of the Everglades. The inn puts you close to all of it, with the water only a short walk or drive from your room.
On arrival you locate yourself within simple reach of the island’s top-known shoreline. Marco Island Beach and Tigertail Beach are both close by, and numerous travelers add a beach stop the same day they check in rather than waiting for the morning. Cape Romano and Rose Marina are also within simple reach, so a day on the water — whether that means paddling, fishing, or heading out toward the islands by boat — takes little planning once you are settled.
The appeal here is the mix of quiet and access. You get a coastal base that feels a step removed from the rush of the mainland, yet the beach, the marina, and the launch points for the Ten Thousand Islands are all minutes away. For travelers who desire to unpack once and let the island set the pace, Marco Island Lakeside Inn makes a practical landing spot — close to the sand, close to the water, and well placed for exploring the broader Marco Island region throughout the stay.
Your transfer runs door to door. The driver meets you after you clear the terminal at Miami International Airport, loads your luggage into the vehicle, and takes you straight to the entrance of Marco Island Lakeside Inn, with no transfers and no shared stops along the way. The route runs as a single leg along Southwest 8th Street and US-41, covering roughly 130 miles by road across to the Gulf coast.
Plan on about 120 to 127 minutes door to door, depending on traffic. Off-peak the drive moves quickly, while the morning and late-afternoon rush push it toward the higher end, which is why your driver tracks the inbound flight in real time and re-times the pickup to your actual landing. The whole vehicle is reserved for your group, so you journey at your own pace with everything loaded in one place.

Every policy in full: FAQ
We came to Florida for our anniversary and kicking it off with a private airport pickup set the tone. No taxi line, no rideshare surge — we just walked out and the car was there. We were picked up right on time, no delays.
Clean car, easy pickup, and a driver who knew exactly where Marco Island Lakeside Inn was. Would book again. They kept an eye on the flight, so even though we landed late, the car was right there.
After a red-eye, the last thing we wanted was to hunt for a car — so glad we pre-arranged the transfer to Marco Island Lakeside Inn. Landing after midnight, it was a huge comfort to have a private car already waiting instead of hunting for a ride.
We weren’t going to juggle luggage and kids in a taxi line, so we booked a private car from the airport to Marco Island Lakeside Inn.
We came with a group of friends and wanted all of us in one private ride from the airport. Our flight was delayed and the driver adjusted with no problem — not a worry at all.
