From $385 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Seminole Lodge (Thomas Edison) in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Pricing is by vehicle, not by seat: a solo traveler and a full car pay the same flat one-way rate.
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.
Seminole Lodge, the winter home tied to Thomas Edison, sits in Fort Myers, the largest city along this stretch of the Gulf coast. It is part of the story of a town that grew up around the Caloosahatchee River, and it shares its corner of the map with some of the area’s most visited landmarks. When you arrive, you locate yourself close to the heart of what draws people to Fort Myers in the first place.
The lodge is one piece of the Edison & Ford Winter Estates, and that historic property anchors the surrounding streets. Just beyond it, the downtown River District spreads along the water with its walkable blocks, while the river itself stays a constant presence nearby. Fort Myers also carries a strong tie to baseball, with spring-training ballparks such as JetBlue Park within easy reach, so a visit here can mix history with the rhythms of the season.
What makes this a relaxing place to land is how much sits close together. The estates, the River District, the ballpark, and the riverfront are all part of the same compact area, which means once you have settled in, the things worth seeing are rarely far. For a longer view of the region, the official Fort Myers Islands & Beaches visitor resources cover the coast in more detail. Arriving with a private ride already arranged lets you step straight into all of that, without the usual scramble that follows a long flight.
This is a door-to-door private transfer that runs as a single leg west along I-75, covering roughly 154.8 miles from the airport to Seminole Lodge. Plan on about 145 to 157 minutes behind the wheel, quicker off-peak and slower when rush-hour traffic builds on the interstate. Your driver watches the inbound flight in real time, so a delay simply moves the pickup rather than costing you the reservation.
After you clear the terminal, the driver meets you, helps with the bags, and walks you to the vehicle. Your luggage rides with you, loaded and ready, and the car is reserved for your group alone the whole way. On a drive this long, that means you set the pace and travel with just the people you came with. There is no queue to wait in and no wondering where the car is, because it is already there for your arrival.
