From $380 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach 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.
The driver is outside the PortMiami terminal when you come through, plans around the ship’s real arrival time, and loads the bags. The curbside greeting is covered by the fare and the Meet & Greet at the terminal is offered for $40. Then it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach is the endpoint of this route — a Fort Myers Beach address roughly 155.4 road miles from the Port of Miami cruise terminals, out on Florida’s opposite coast. The name tells you the setting: a beach community, reached in one long run across the width of South Florida rather than a string of connections after your ship ties up.
The wider Fort Myers region gives the journey its backdrop. The Edison and Ford winter estates anchor the city’s history, a revived riverfront downtown draws people back to the water, and spring-training ballparks sit out on the edges of town. It is a corner of Florida with its own rhythm, tied to the coast and unhurried, which makes the drive from the port feel like a real change of scenery rather than just a transfer between two points.
When you reach Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach, the ride ends at the door — no last leg to sort out, no dragging cruise luggage across a lot. Your chauffeur handles the bags at the property just as they did at the pier, so the final step is merely to walk in. After more than two and a half hours on the road, arriving directly at your destination is the whole reason for booking a private vehicle across the full route.
The journey is one continuous run from the cruise terminal to Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach — about 155.4 miles, normally 161 to 172 minutes depending on the hour and traffic on I-595. Your driver meets you at the exact terminal your cruise line uses, with a 30-minute window built in so customs and the luggage hall don’t put pressure on the pickup. You walk out, and the vehicle is already there waiting.
From there it is a straight run with no extra stops and no detours. Luggage rides in the vehicle with you, the price already covers gas and typical tolls, and the space is yours alone for the whole route. You set the departure and the pace; the driver handles the road, and the next thing you see is the door at Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach.

My husband and I came down the gangway at PortMiami and a private car was already at the curb to take us to Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach.
Coming down the gangway solo, the last thing I wanted was to sort out transport at the port, so I had a private car lined up for the run to Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach. I’ve already earmarked them for my next cruise out of PortMiami. I was dropped right at the front door of Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach, not down the block.
The two of us sailed out of PortMiami and having a private car waiting curbside for the ride over to Sun Resorts & Residences Fort Myers Beach took all the stress out of it. We got a clear confirmation, so there was nothing to worry about at the terminal.
