From $370 per vehicle, a private one-way ride between the Port of Miami and San Carlos Park.
Each fare is the full price for the vehicle, not a charge per seat, so the whole group travels to San Carlos Park for one figure that is fixed the moment the booking is confirmed.
Once your ship clears and passengers begin walking off, the driver is already waiting along the terminal curb at PortMiami. The confirmation message names him and lists the plate, so a quick look at the plate and a hello with your own name settles which vehicle is yours before a single bag goes in. Meet and greet comes with every booking at no charge. If being found by a printed name sign held at the exit is easier in the post-cruise crowd, that can be arranged for an added $40. The driver takes the cruise luggage and walks the group straight to the vehicle, so no one is left circling a busy pickup lane hunting for a ride.
The community sits well up the Gulf side of the state, so the run from the port is a steady highway stretch rather than a quick hop across town. The route leaves Miami and tracks west and north along I-75, crossing the width of South Florida before reaching the San Carlos Park exits. Because no two disembarkation mornings move at the same pace, the departure is timed around live road conditions instead of a fixed clock. It stays one private vehicle the entire way — a single driver and car, with no mid-route swap and no second pickup for another party. This is a direct one-way transfer from the terminal to the address you give.
San Carlos Park is a settled residential community rather than a resort strip, which is exactly why most cruise travelers head here — to reach family, a second home, or a quiet base south of Fort Myers. The streets are tree-lined, the pace is unhurried, and everyday conveniences sit close at hand: local shops, casual restaurants, and neighborhood parks that anchor community life. Cruise parties often choose it precisely because it trades the noise of the coast for a calmer, everyday-Florida setting. Whatever corner your address lands in, the driver brings you to that exact door rather than a generic drop point. For travelers who want more shopping and dining, the wider Fort Myers area lies nearby, and the drop can be set for whichever address suits the journey.
