From $370 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from MIA to The Sea Gypsy Inn in a chauffeured SUV or van.
These are fixed one-way fares for the whole car or van, tolls and fuel included, so the total is known before anyone gets in.
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 favor to be met inside the terminal with a name sign, add the Meet & Greet option for $40. Once the bags are in the vehicle, the ride is direct and door to door.
The Sea Gypsy Inn sits on Estero Island in Fort Myers Beach, a slim barrier island edged by the Gulf of Mexico. It is the kind of low-key beach lodging that puts you within simple reach of the sand rather than behind a wall of towers, and it suits travelers who desire the water close and the pace slow when they arrive from the airport.
Step outside and the setting does most of the talking. Estero Island stretches for about seven miles of soft Gulf sand, and the fishing pier anchors the island’s Times Square, a walkable cluster of shops and open-air dining a short stroll from the door. Mornings tend toward long, quiet stretches of beach; evenings drift back toward the pier, where the sunset crowd gathers and the day winds down at an unhurried island tempo.
There is more within simple reach once you have settled in. Just south, the mangroves and paddling trails of Lovers Key State Park open up for a morning of kayaking or a walk among the wading birds, while Matanzas Pass keeps the calm backwater side of the island close at hand. Between the beach out front, the pier a few minutes away, and the parks neighboring, The Sea Gypsy Inn makes a compact base for a Fort Myers Beach stay, with the open Gulf on one side and quiet island water on the other.
Your ride begins the moment you clear arrivals at Miami International Airport. Your driver is already waiting in the terminal area, ready to help with the bags and walk you out to the vehicle at the curb. From there it is one private leg toward Fort Myers Beach, with your luggage loaded and the whole vehicle reserved for your party alone, no stops to collect other passengers and no waiting in line.
The route runs largely along I-75 across the state, covering roughly 145.5 miles and taking about 153 to 163 minutes door to door, off-peak to peak. Because your driver tracks the flight, an early or late landing simply shifts the pickup at no extra charge. On a haul this length there is room to stretch out, your own climate control, and the option of a rest stop along the way if you desire one.

La llegada más fácil que hemos tenido — conductor esperando, maletas resueltas, directo a The Sea Gypsy Inn.
Vinimos a Florida de aniversario y empezar el viaje con una recogida privada marcó la pauta. Siguieron el vuelo, así que aunque llegamos tarde, el auto estaba listo. Llegando pasada la medianoche, fue un gran alivio tener un auto privado ya esperando.
Clean car, easy pickup, and a driver who knew exactly where The Sea Gypsy Inn was. Would book again. The fare was fixed and agreed up front — no meter, no surprises, which we really appreciated after traveling.
Traveling alone, I didn’t want any hassle coming out of Miami Airport, and this was perfect. The driver dropped me exactly where I needed to be. The driver was clearly experienced, which made it feel first-class.
