From $350 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Riverbend Motorcoach Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The fare is locked per vehicle for the one-way journey, and it already covers the tolls, the fuel and the driver’s time.
Tell us the ship and the driver times the pickup to its arrival, then waits at your terminal’s curb at PortMiami. The curbside greeting there is included in the fare; the Meet & Greet at the terminal is a $40 add-on. From the port the ride is direct, with no other passengers.
Riverbend Motorcoach Resort sits in Labelle, an inland town set back from the Naples–Fort Myers coast in southwest Florida. It is a resort built around travelers who reach by the road — a destination you reach after crossing the state, not a downtown address wedged between city blocks. From the cruise terminal it is a genuine road journey west and north, which is exactly the kind of run where riding in your own vehicle pays off: room to stretch, your own climate zone, and a straight shot rather than a string of stops.
Because Labelle sits away from the coastal traffic, the approach feels calmer the closer you obtain — the busy port morning gives way to open highway, and the resort waits at the end of it. Riverbend is the property itself, so your ride does not leave you at a neighboring corner or a highway pull-off to sort out the last stretch on your own. The drop is at the resort’s own grounds, luggage and all.
When you pull in, your driver brings you to the main entrance, where you can gather your bags and step out at the door instead of hauling everything in from a distant lot. After a morning of disembarkation lines and a couple of hours on the highway, arriving directly at the property is the part that matters most. Everything about the journey — the timing, the single locked fare, the vehicle kept for your group alone — is arranged so the last thing you do is merely walk in.
The run covers roughly 134.4 miles and normally takes 152 to 163 minutes, depending on traffic and the hour. Your driver is staged at the terminal before you clear the arrivals hall, so the wait belongs to them, not to you — an included 60-minute window absorbs a slow gangway. Disembarkation mornings stack up speedy at the exits, and the pickup is organized by message as you walk off, so you are not standing around looking for a car.
From the pier it is one continuous run along US-27, west and inland toward Labelle. Your bags ride in the vehicle with you, handled from the terminal curb, and the same vehicle stays yours from pickup to drop-off — no transfers, no sharing. At the end, the driver brings you to the main entrance of Riverbend Motorcoach Resort and helps with every bag, door to door.
