From $420 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to Tarpon Lodge in a chauffeured SUV or van.
Every fare below is per vehicle, one way, with the driver, fuel and tolls inside the number. Pick the row that fits your group and luggage.
The pickup follows the flight, not the schedule you booked weeks ago, so an early landing or a late one changes only the meeting time. You are met at MIA arrivals with the greeting included in the fare, and the Meet & Greet inside the terminal, your driver holding a name sign, is available for $40 more. From there it is one private vehicle straight to the destination.
Tarpon Lodge is a waterside retreat in Bokeelia, out on the quiet western edge of Florida’s Gulf coast, and it makes a peaceful base a long way from the pace of the city. If you are flying into Miami and heading here, you are trading the airport crowds for a slower corner of the coast, and the ride out is part of that shift. This page covers one thing only: getting you from the terminal to the door of Tarpon Lodge in a private car, at a fixed price agreed before you journey.
When your driver reaches Bokeelia, the drop-off is right at Tarpon Lodge. The neighborhood and the streets immediately around your stay are covered, so you are set down at the entrance rather than somewhere you then have to walk in from. Your bags come out of the car, and the journey ends where your stay begins.
For anything about the rooms, the rates, or what Tarpon Lodge offers once you check in, the lodge’s own official page is the place to look — that side belongs to them, and the transfer side is ours. What we handle is the journey: a private vehicle reserved for your group, a driver who tracks your flight, and one honest fare set at booking. Because Bokeelia is a longer run from Miami, the private car earns its keep — room to stretch out, your own climate control, and a driver who can plan a rest stop along the way if you desire one.
The ride runs door to door. After you land at Miami International and clear the terminal, your driver is already waiting on the arrivals level — no line to stand in and no car to hunt for. Your luggage goes straight into the vehicle, and from there it is one continuous drive out to Tarpon Lodge, with the whole car reserved for your party alone.
Plan on roughly 175 miles from MIA to the door, and about 177 to 186 minutes depending on traffic. Off-peak, the road moves rapidly; the morning and late-afternoon rush push the drive toward the longer end, which is why your driver watches your flight and adjusts the pickup to match when you actually land. A delayed arrival merely shifts the pickup, so the journey stays one peaceful, planned ride from the airport to your stay.
