From $370 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Silver Sands Resort in a chauffeured SUV or van.
One number per vehicle covers the full trip one way. Choose by how many people ride and how many bags come along.
Your driver tracks the flight and adjusts to the real landing time, then meets you at the arrivals level of Miami International Airport. Curbside meet-and-greet is included; if you prefer to be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet choice for $40. Once the bags are in the vehicle, the ride is direct and door to door.
Silver Sands Resort sits along Fort Myers Beach, the town that runs the length of Estero Island on Florida’s Gulf coast. This is a stretch of seven miles of soft Gulf sand, and a stay here usually begins just steps from it. You settle in, drop the bags, and the water is right there waiting, no long walk between your room and the shoreline.
The island gives you a simple sense of place. Times Square gathers near the pier, a walkable hub where the beach, the shops, and the casual restaurants come together. Head south and the scenery shifts into the quiet mangroves of Lovers Key, a calmer counterpoint to the busier stretch near the pier. Between the two, Fort Myers Beach keeps the low-key, sandals-and-swimsuit feeling that draws people back year after year.
Because the coast sits so close, arriving at Silver Sands Resort is refreshingly simple. There is no complicated last leg to figure out and no maze to navigate once you are in town. The layout of Estero Island keeps everything within reach, so the beach, a bite to eat, and a slow walk toward the pier are all part of the same simple afternoon. It is the kind of place where you unpack once and let the trip open up in front of you, with the Gulf as the constant backdrop to everything you plan.
Your driver tracks the flight and is waiting in the terminal region as you come off arrivals at MIA. There is no line to stand in and no app to open. The bags go into the vehicle, everyone climbs in, and you head out as one private group, straight toward Silver Sands Resort with no other stops added along the way.
From the curb it is a single run of about 154.7 miles by road, following I-75 for most of the way. Plan on roughly 150 to 163 minutes door to door, with off-peak traffic landing you at the quicker end and the morning or late-afternoon rush pushing toward the longer side. On a haul this length the private vehicle earns its keep, giving you room to stretch out, your own climate control, and the choice of a rest stop if you want one before the coast.
