From $375 per vehicle: a private, one-way ride from Port of Miami to Top Florida Vacation Villas in a chauffeured SUV or van.
The prices are flat and quoted per vehicle for the whole one-way ride: no meter, no surge, nothing added at the curb.
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.
Top Florida Vacation Villas puts you in and around Fort Myers, the Gulf Coast town where a revived riverfront downtown gives the region much of its character. This is a stay built for spreading out after a cruise, and the drop-off reaches Fort Myers itself along with the streets right around your villa, so your driver leaves you at the door rather than a distant lot.
The setting has more going for it than a place to sleep. The Edison & Ford Winter Estates sit within simple reach, the winter homes and gardens that anchor the town’s history and stay one of its most-visited draws. The downtown River District rounds out the picture with its restored streets, a simple afternoon of cafes and storefronts once you have unpacked and settled into the pace of the coast.
Sports have a place here too. JetBlue Park and Hammond Stadium both sit neighboring, the spring-training ballparks that fill this corner of Fort Myers when the season lands. Arriving straight off the ship, you locate a stay that keeps the beach town within reach and the city’s landmarks a short move away, which is exactly what a villa base is for. Whatever the details of check-in, luggage holds, or an early arrival, those sit with Top Florida Vacation Villas and its own front desk. Your ride merely gets your whole group there together, bags and all, so the villa is ready to become the center of the journey from the moment you step out of the vehicle onto the Gulf Coast.
The journey runs door to door. Your driver is organized by message as you clear the terminal, then meets your group at the curb at the exact terminal your cruise line uses on Dodge Island. Bags go straight into the vehicle and stay there for the whole run, so nothing changes hands until you reach the villa. From the port the route follows I-595 west across the state toward the Gulf Coast, one direct run with no added stops along the way.
Plan on roughly 157 to 169 minutes between the port and Top Florida Vacation Villas, depending on the hour and the port’s morning rush. The pickup is timed to your actual disembarkation rather than a fixed clock, so a slow walk off the ship does not cost you the vehicle. When you reach, the driver carries the luggage to the curb beside you and leaves your whole party at the entrance, ready to start the stay.

The night before, we got a message with the driver’s name and plate number, so there was no guessing at the curb on the way out. The car was spotless, a relief in the Miami heat.
